PLEASE READ Author's note: Sorry I haven't written in a while. Here's your chapter bros ;). And I thought I might have something a little cool here so one of you can help me and you learn a little about me. Whoever has the same answer as me gets to come up with one event (as long as it isn't ridicules) to happen in the 11th chapter. The first to answer correct wins and if no one is correct, no one wins.

Chapter 9

My Queen Her King

R. pov

He kissed me hard on the lips. My body instantly felt warm and tingly, unlike ever before. His hands were rough and callused, but his touch was gentle. He treated me as if I'd break.

When he pulled away, it physically hurt me, like I lose something. Dimitri. Even if I had no memory of it, I knew I loved him. At that moment, I knew I didn't regret coming to the gym.

"Oh Roza, I'm ruining you. My very touch is destroying you…and I really don't care." Dimitri smiles and my heart flutters.

"I'm sorry I don't remember. I honestly wish I did."

"It's okay, as long as we're together. As long as you believe me."

"How can I not." I whisper; surprised to feel my cheeks flush.

Dimitri chuckles, leaning forward and kissing me softly. I didn't care if I ever got my memory back. I didn't care if I forgot my own name again. I wouldn't mind losing everything, if I only had this moment.

Conrad's (Strigio's) pov.

I slap Luke so hard across the face that it echoes. The worthless scum! Can't he do anything right!

"What do you mean you couldn't get back into the academy?" I growl

"Sir, they put their barrier back, and stronger than ever! They're expecting us now."

"Gosh dang it! How am I ever supposed to please my little Tasha if you're such a brainless good for nothing?" I grab him slamming him against the wall till his head cracks open.

I stare at his dead body, kicking it hard enough to slam it against the wall again. Turning around, I see all the strigio's around me looking, some with a challenge in their eyes and others with complete loyalty.

"I am your leader, and you are to answer to me! I see the way you look at me! Any of you who think you can step up to me, I advise you to think again. All you newborns think you're so powerful. I am older and stronger than any of you. If you think this is bad you haven't seen anything yet. If this makes you queasy, I suggest you kill yourself now because you're not prepared to be my soldier!" I scream, about to leave

"You our leader? You've fallen into the hands of a vile human. You're tainted! We could rise against you now!"

Slowly, I walk over. His eyes widen as he realizes his mistake. I rip his head off.

"Tasha, my love, will soon be your queen. Anyone who speaks ill of her will be killed within a second."
I leave for my room. How dare these newborns speak of her and I that way. She was my queen as I was her king and whether she wanted it or not, after this job, she'd be mine.

We'd learned something new about Rose today. I was play fighting with her in the gym, when she lashed out. Her movements were exactly as I'd taught her, in her mind, she didn't know how she knew this, but her instincts kicked in.

Since trials had been messed up, I suggested Rose take her retake now, since she wouldn't get another chance. With her instincts there was no way she'd lose. They'd decided to have the trials elsewhere like when we went to the ski lodge. This time a training ground specifically made for these sorts of things with dorms on ground. As a sigh of good will I'd invited Tasha. At the least, we could still be friends.

T. pov.

I accepted Dimitri's offer and hung up. I shake, I don't know if it's from excitement, angry, or fear but I shake. This is perfect. This was my chance. Once Rose is out of the way, he'll be mine. And we'll live happily… ever… AFTER.
