RPOV"So, what do you think of your new Guardian?" I asked Lissa as she was sprawled across my bed on her stomach, flipping through some fashion magazine. She was already in here when I got back from my "training" with Dimitri. She was the only person, other than the Guardians with a master key, who had access to my room."He's hot." She said with a smirk. "And he's totally into you.""Trust me, I can feel it. He's an Alpha, and the power waves he produces are stronger than any I've ever experienced before." I felt a rush of heat between my legs just thinking about the vibes that Dimitri gave off. "But nothing can happen between us. He's my mentor, not to mention my Guarding partner and older than me.""He's technically not your Guarding partner for a few months. But I understand that you're his student and it would be unprofessional of him; however, that doesn't change the way he looks at you. I guarantee you, if there were no restrictions, he'd have you up against a wall by now."I
DPOVI finally plucked up enough courage to go have a chat with Alberta. It'd been three days. Three days of torture. Rose had kept up her "Self-Control Training" and each "session" was making it harder to refuse her.She'd been asking about trying to shift in the middle of a fight, but in order for that to happen, I'd have to see her naked. If I saw her naked that would be the death of me. There would be no stopping my Alpha. He'd take her without a moment's hesitation. So far, I'd only allowed myself the occasional fantasy to keep me sane, but it didn't seem to be helping. If anything, the fantasies made it worse.The dreams weren't helping, either. I was no longer having nightmares, which was a good thing, but the nightmares were replaced with erotic dreams. Sometimes we would be in wolf form and sometimes as humans, but either way, I would be chasing Rose through the woods. In human form, her soft flesh was bare to me, allowing my eyes to feast on every curve of her body. In wolf
RPOV"Roza." He whispered, and my breath caught in my throat. I'd heard him call me that in his fantasy, but never out loud. "I need to ask you something."I still couldn't believe he'd pinned me. I know I was getting weak, but I shouldn't have been this weak. This had been the longest I'd gone without feeding, but I shouldn't have lost my strength this quickly. At the beginning of this week, I'd been perfectly fine, but now…Dimitri had pinned me. Granted, Dimitri is the best Guardian here at the academy, but he shouldn't have been able to pin me.Taking a quick inventory of my body, though, told me I should let him pin me more often."Ask away, Comrade." I tried my best to sound normal, but it came out as a breathless whisper."Two things actually." He said looking a bit nervous."What's the first thing?""Would you like to go on a date with me?" His voice sounded confident, but his face showed both hopefulness and worry."A date?" I asked with a smirk. "You're asking me out on a dat
DPOVI stood there, momentarily stunned as I watched Rose's massive white form rush out of the gym. I felt a hand on my shoulder, which brought me out of my frozen state. When I looked down, I found Lissa staring up at me with concern."Dimitri?" She said hesitantly. "Are you okay?"Instead of answering her, I started running toward the door. Before I fully comprehended what I was doing, my clothes were being ripped from my body by my hands. I started Changing mid-stride, but I didn't let it slow me down. I ran for a few seconds switching between bipedal and quadrupedal.Once all four of my paws hit the ground, I started picking up speed. I couldn't see Rose, she was too fast and had a head start. I doubt I would catch up with her until she stopped. Judging from the way she ran out of the gym, that might not be for a while.I lifted my snout into the air, searching for the smell of lavender and vanilla. When my nose caught the scent, I changed my direction slightly to the right, weavi
RPOVAs I left Dimitri to go find Lissa, I ran through a list of places she could be. The most-likely option was that she was in her room, it wasn't that close to curfew, but she wasn't one to chance anything. If she wasn't in her room, she would be with Christian, either in the commons or in the church attic. I was hoping she was in her room, because that would be the first place I was checking.I could see the Moroi dorms appear in front of me and was very much aware of the small blonde vampire that was rushing out of them."Lissa! What's wrong?!" I asked frantically."It's nothing, Rose." She replied shakily."Don't lie to me." I told her, but she seemed to be in shock so I needed to let her calm down a little before getting any information from her. "How 'bout you follow me back to my room so I can Change, and then we'll talk?"She nodded and walked beside me in silence. I could sense her unease and I saw her hands trembling. When we reached the Novice building, Lissa opened the d
DPOV"Yes." I tried swallowing past the lump in my throat. I suppose that the kindness I found when asking to date Rose, was nonexistent when it came to submitting to her as an Alpha."Why would you do that?" Alberta asked calmly, too calmly if you ask me. "She's not even eighteen yet.""I submitted because I want her as my Alpha." I stated simply. "I didn't know I needed permission to submit to her.""Of course, you needed my permission!" She shouted, causing me to back up a step. She might be more than a foot shorter than me, but she was scary when she wanted to be. Given that she was extremely protective of Rose, I'm thinking she wanted to be. "I told you earlier today that you would need my permission for anything when it came to Rose!""You said that was only for if I wanted to do something special for her." I replied, but she didn't seem to see my reasoning."You and I will have a discussion later, Belikov." She growled, narrowing her eyes dangerously at me before turning to the
RPOVDespite my enthusiastic attitude at the beginning of this trip, two hours in, I was ready to be done with the transit part. A few minutes in, the music I had turned on and up had begun to bother Dimitri and his driving abilities. He turned off my music and opted for gentle country music, complete with banjos and fiddles. I wasn't even aware that Montana had country music stations, but leave it to Dimitri to find the only one."Can we please change the music?" I asked for probably the fifth time. Dimitri rolled his eyes, but considering I added a please, he changed the station. I sat up straighter, excited at the prospect of different music, but was soon disappointed when he settled on 80's rock. "I guess this is a step up."Dimitri had the gall to actually laugh at my mutterings! Ivan chuckled at the two of us but stayed silent when it came to music preferences. Lissa and Christian had barely come up for air, their hands flying across each other's bodies, barely keeping it PG, as
DPOVI tried to take a nap, knowing that I would most-likely need as much sleep as possible to keep up with Rose and Lissa all day. I'd been awake for more than twenty-four hours and, for a Lycanthrope, that was a huge problem. I'd grown accustomed to not getting much sleep, which was also bad for a Lycanthrope, but I'd always managed to squeeze in a couple hours here and there to keep myself going.Only, I couldn't this time. I was plenty tired, trust me, but I couldn't bear to think about letting a moment go by that I wasn't awake when Roza was in my arms. She'd fallen asleep almost immediately. She'd been awake longer than I had, and had probably used more energy than I had, but I knew she didn't need nearly as much sleep as me or any other Lycanthrope.She's a True Hybrid. I suppose there was a lot more to her than meets the eye. I needed to find out what all she had been hiding from me by leaving out that small detail of her life. I knew she needed to feed from Strigoi or Pricoli
