024. Leaving

POV: Dimitri

Word count: 107

I know I should leave. It would be easier, that's for sure. I would have an easier life, with a great person by my side, a life without secrets, without boundaries I am constantly tempted to break – I want to break. A life where I still could do what I live for – to protect people, to fight.

And there would be, of course, other… well, extras. Opportunities, which most dhampire men never get. Chance for a family – a real family, maybe, not just an unnatural half-one most dhampires get.

Yes, it would be the best if I left.

Yet, I can't bear the thought of leaving Rose.
