Chapter 13

DPOV

There it was. Galina's old estate looked dull on the outside, making even the dead tree, that stood before the building, look brighter. The grass was no longer green, but dead. I looked up at some of the window shutters to see some broken. A few windows were smashed, glass spread out all over the yard.

This was how I left it. Because of me, Strigoi were left with no order. Once Galina was defeated, I pretty much became the king of Strigoi.

My leaving has taken a toll for the Strigoi.

I parked the Porsche gt off to the side of the road. We persuaded the owner, whom was human, to lend us this car. He refused to cooperate, making him a nuisance to us. I remembered the shiver of exhilaration that flared in my body when Rose snapped his neck.

Strolling up to the entrance, I grasped Rose's had in mine. Even though we were both Strigoi, I knew of the danger other Strigoi through the doors, the scent of blood made the room more inviting. The first floor was grand, not including the smashed up windows.

In mere seconds, five Strigoi confronted us. Only one I recognized.

At first they hissed, warning us of trespassing in their territory. They watched us closely, until the one I recognized turned his eyes from Rose to me, and widened.

"Belikov? Is that you?" the Strigoi I recognized asked. It was Boris.

Smiling, I nodded. "I'm back."

Boris's eyes widened even more with surprise when his eyes flickered back to Rose.

"Oh no," he said.

"Oh yes," I replied, making the rest of the Strigoi cackle.

"Her again?" he said exasperatedly. "And now she's Strigoi,' he said with an amused grin.

"Told you I'd get my way," I said, stepping forward to hug him. He slapped his hand on my back a couple of times before letting go.

"Lads, this is Dimitri Belikov," he said to the others. They nodded their respect to me, and then turned their harsh smiles to Rose. Something I did not like.

I cleared my throat and spoke to Boris. "I'm going to take Rose to my room. We have unfinished business," I said, hoping he'd catch on.

There was a flash of mischief in his eyes before he reluctantly said, "We have guests in there, but you're more than welcome to take back what was rightfully yours," he teased.

Avery.

I grinned as innocently as I could at him, probably looking quite a site.

After a few quick goodbyes, we headed for the elevator. I pressed the button and the light flickered to life and dinged. The doors opened and we strode through. After pressing the top floor button, the doors creaked closed.

Immediately I roughly pulled Rose to me, sealing our lips together. For a brief moment she was surprised at my ferocity, then melted in the kiss. My hands were at her hips, while hers were in my hair.

After some really intense kissing, the elevator doors opened to reveal a single passageway that led to a room. My old office. Reluctantly pulling away, we strode for the door.

"You ready?" I murmured.

"Ready," she spat and flung open the door. Everything looked the same as we quickly filled in. Except the site before us.

Avery was positioned before Lissa, mouth open, fangs shinning and in a splitting second, those fangs would collide with Lissa's neck.

Shit.

A/N: Does anybody know who Andrei Andrei is? If not I strongly suggest you do look him up because I think he'd be a pretty good Dimitri Belikov ^.^

Be warned, he's an underwear model so there are a few pics that show some…..'stuff' hahaha. But other than that, he is the closest guy that I think looks like Dimitri. He may be able to pull off a Russian accent, but what I just realized is that a lot of people (on facebook) suggest that he isn't an actor, therefore he'd pretty much suck as being Dimitri. But then again, I think someone said that he had a few acting classes so who knows :3

Please review :)
