RPOV My clothes had long been taken care of. Dimitri had my shirt off before the door closed completely, and my pants were quick to follow. I'm pretty sure that my bra and panties were in pieces on the floor, but I was too focused on Dimitri to really care. Dimitri hadn't given me a chance to get any of his clothes off of him so he was still fully dressed. Before I could voice the inequality, Dimitri had picked me up and thrown me on the bed. I squealed as I bounced on the plush mattress. I tried to go to him, but he quickly pushed me back down. His name was on the tip of my tongue, ready to scold him for denying me my right to touch his naked body when it died as two of his fingers entered me roughly. He growled at my wetness and slammed his lips into mine before my scream could come out. His tongue forced its way into my mouth, and I moaned at the warm sensation. His thumb was pressing gently into my clit, pulsing every few seconds causing me to squirm. He slowly withdrew his fin

RPOV "You can't keep me locked up forever, Comrade." I sighed. "No, but I can until you turn eighteen." He responded immediately. "Besides, I like keeping you locked up." "You're playing a dangerous game, Comrade," I growled up at him. We'd finished our meeting with our pack and Abe, but Dimitri and I had remained on the floor in the dining room. My body was wrapped around him as he sat in between my front paws. "You enjoyed it, admit it. You enjoyed releasing control to me. Putting your pleasure in my hands." He purred in my mind. The chuckle that rumbled in his chest counteracted the growl that rumbled in mine. "Admit it." "I refuse," I responded stubbornly. "I can always get you to admit it." He mused. I lifted my head out of his lap and looked down at him. Before I knew what was happening, Dimitri had moved onto my back. I craned my neck as far back as I could and saw him just lying there. "What are you doing?" I asked confused. His body was just as long as my back as he lai

RPOV My head was pounding. My body felt heavy. My mind was weak. I couldn't stand. I couldn't move. I heard the sounds of a raging battle, but I couldn't find the strength to join in. My heart constricted as I felt Dimitri grow weaker. He needed blood, but the amount of Strigoi wouldn't let him get a decent bite. "Fight, Comrade." I sent out weakly. I heard him give a loud growl and felt the pull of blood. Off in the distance, I could hear approaching footsteps, and I was worried Dimitri would have to fight off even more attackers. "Rose!" I heard Mason's voice cry out. My heart rate quickened knowing the rest of my pack probably wasn't far behind. I found the strength to open my eyes. I was lying face down on the ground. I could see one of Dimitri's massive paws beside my head as he stood over me. After he took down the first few Strigoi, the rest of them held back to plan a more effective approach. I could smell his blood, and I knew he had been injured. The heavy pounding o

RPOV I could feel Dimitri's anxiety as soon as we exited the wards, but I decided to focus on my overwhelming hunger instead of calming my Pair. The scent of death was still overpowering, but I didn't know if it was because there were Strigoi nearby or because last night's dead Strigoi still hadn't dissolved in the sunlight. Due to the dense tree coverage, sunlight wouldn't have been able to reach all the bodies. We'll probably need to come and burn the bodies. "Do you guys know which direction we should start in?" I asked tiredly. My muscles ached and my stomach felt like it was going to tear itself apart, but the bloodlust kept me upright and moving. "I say we start in the direction the Strigoi disappeared in last night." Dimitri provided herding me in that direction. I ran in the direction he pointed me in keeping an eye and a nose out for Strigoi. We passed the bodies we'd decimated last night and found a scent to follow from there. Dimitri was running directly to my left while

RPOV "You can let go of her hand now," Dimitri growled as Adrian continued to hold on to my hand. "Don't worry, Big Hybrid," Adrian said releasing my hand. "I can see your Claim, you've nothing to worry about from me." Dimitri didn't look too convinced as Adrian gave him a lazy, carefree smirk before winking at me. "So, Little Hybrid, would you like to catch me up on all that's been going on around here?" He asked gesturing me over to a couch. Adrian had arrived this morning while Dimitri and I were enjoying our shower. As soon as Dimitri had dried off, he Shifted. Abe later gave a tentative knock at our door to inform us of our recently arrived guest. I sat down on one of the couches and Dimitri immediately placed himself at my feet in between myself and Adrian. Adrian looked amused at Dimitri's overprotective and jealous nature, but Dimitri continued to look the part of the jealous boyfriend. We spend the next hour filling Adrian in on what had been happening with me and my pa
