It's better than that and if you guys want more it'll be written by myself and Let love win, so y'all know what to do. Read and give me some feedback. Also we'll probably be alternating between Rose and Dimitri pov.

Amor Prohibido.
Chapter 1.
DPOV
Have you ever been in a relationship that took your breath away? That made you so happy you could hardly breathe when you were talking to that person? That made you smile whenever you thought of or someone mentioned her name? That made your heart pound every time she said she loves you? That set your body a blaze when she kissed, touched or looked at you? If you haven't, let me tell you there is nothing in this world more amazing than that. There is also nothing that hurts more than when her parents find out and don't accept it.
In their defense, I was 7 years older than their daughter. I was supposed to be her mentor. She wasn't 18 yet. She was also training to be princess Vasalissa's guardian after graduation and in our world, relationships between dhampirs weren't really supposed to be a thing. Guardians didn't date. We trained and protected moroi. Then we died because 'they come first.' So yeah, I guess I could see why they wouldn't accept it. Our love was forbidden and I probably would've reacted in a similar way if I were in their shoes.
Did that make it hurt any less? No, no it didn't. It didn't change the way we felt about each other either, but nobody cared about that. In the eyes of her parents and society, this was wrong. So, we ended it because we didn't have a choice. We ended it because her mother, 5 feet nothing of fiery Scottish guardian demanded that we did. She told Roza she needed to start dating guys her age from now on or she was going to tell her dad, and her dad was Abe Mazur the mob boss himself. Back home in Russia he was referred to as Zmey, Russian for snake, and being on Zmey's bad side wasn't good for anyone's health. Not that I cared much about that honestly.
If it were up to her mother, I probably would've had to leave the academy, and my Roza along with it. Thankfully, being a guardian to a royal lord, it wasn't up to Janine Hathaway. It was however up to Alberta Petrov, but she had a soft spot for Rose, and aside from giving me a disappointing look as if she couldn't believe I had the nerve to get caught dating my student, she let me off saying the academy was already short on guardians and seeing as how Rose was doing well under my guidance she didn't see the point of getting her a new mentor.
So yes I did understand that Janine Hathaway thought she was doing the right thing. She was being a mother, protecting her daughter. I suppose in her own way, she was protecting me too. She was giving me a chance to not have to face Rose's father. But my heart didn't see it that way. The logical aspect of this whole thing didn't matter to me because I loved her. I wasn't like other guys. I didn't just want in her pants. I wasn't the love them and leave them kind of guy and she wasn't the kind of girl you did that to either.
What I did want was to make her happy. I wanted to take care of her, to love her and make her smile in spite of society, in spite of what her mother or anyone else thought. She was mine as much as I was hers. It wasn't fair that I had to give her up to make other people happy. In fact, that made me angry. Why was it anyone's business that we were dating each other? Why did they have the right to dictate our lives?
The truth was, they didn't. This was our lives. It was our choice. Or rather, it was my choice. Roza wasn't an adult yet so as of now, we had to do what her mother wanted. I had to sit back and watch these boys parade around with my girl thinking they had a fucking claim on her and do nothing about it. What I wasn't going to do, however, was watch them hurt her. If they so much as dared…I kicked the covers back, tossed the book I'd been trying to read for ages aside, got to my feet and started pacing.
Nights were the worse. When all was quiet and still, my mind tended to wander. What were we going to do? How were we going to fix this? Could we even fix this? What if one of these boys really did lay claim to my girl? How long could I expect her not to fall for one of them?
It wasn't even fair of me to think like that. I was being selfish I knew that and though I hadn't actually said those words to her, a part of me did hope she would wait. A part of me wanted to wait for her too if only because I couldn't see my future without her in it. The thought of having to date anyone else filled me with as much dread as the idea of my love falling for one of these guys.
But the thing was, even more than being with her, I wanted her to be happy even if that wasn't with me. Aside from having the body of a goddess, she had a huge heart and was one of the sweetest, kindest most beautiful persons I knew and she deserved every amazing thing this world had to offer. Any guy would be lucky to have her, but I wanted to be that guy. I wanted to be the one who got to say she was his, the one who made bad days go away and amazing days a regular thing.
And as always, those were the thoughts that had me changing into gym shorts and a shirt and heading outside. Sleep was pointless. I wasn't going to get any with my mind constantly racing like that. I needed to burn off some steam so I made my way to the track ignoring the looks I got from the patrolling guardians working the night shift.
I willed my head to clear, willed myself to put Roza out of my mind or as out of my mind as she could be which, quite frankly was kind of pointless. I focused on the warmth of the sun on my skin, something I didn't experience often because of the academy's knockternal schedule. I focused on the wind ripping through my hair as I ran. I pushed my legs harder, ran faster. Then I went to the gym and beat the ever living hell out of the punching bags, just barely remembering to put gloves on.
By the time I stopped, my shirt was clinging to my body and I ached everywhere. I sank to the floor and drained a water bottle. Thankfully, at this time of night everyone was either in bed or on shift, so there was no one in here. I couldn't help but be grateful for small mercies, because this was slowly becoming a nightly occurrence, and while it probably wasn't unusual for a guardian to hit the gym every now and again after hours, something told me people would talk if it was happening every night.
Sighing and cursing the world for the stupidity that was currently my life, I got to my feet. It was time for bed. My body was so exhausted that I knew it wouldn't be long before I was out. I hit the shower and really did pass out when my head hit the pillow, thoughts of training with my Roza in the next couple hours being my last conscious thought, then endless nothingness, just the way I liked it as of late.
So? Love? Not so much? Want more? Curious to see where we're taking this? Let me know!
