VA belongs to Richelle Mead.

Rpov:

"We have to find his grave?" I hissed.

She shrugged. "It says so on the paper."

"God, I don't even know where he's buried." I groaned, covering my face with my hands.

"How do you represent life?" she asked, taking the paper as she reread it.

"I have no idea," I muttered.

"Does Christian know about this stuff?" she asked; curiosity in his voice.

I snorted. "I doubt it; he was pretty dark at the Academy but I doubted he read this type of stuff."

"We should ask him." she suggested. "He might even help."

I sighed; I knew she was right. He was the best person to confide this into from the group.

"I don't know," I said warily.

She raised her eyebrows. "Doesn't he know how to keep his mouth shut?"
"More than anyone,"

"Then why the face?"

"I hate asking him for help," I grimaced.

She rolled her eyes. "Well he's out best shot. And there are also other rituals so he can help figure some things out," she said.

I groaned and nodded. "We'll corner him later," I said, finishing my drink as I stood up.

She raised her eyebrow again but did not comment. She also stood up and gathered her things.

"Come on," I said, checking the time.

"Why the rush?"

"It's almost time to meet up with the construction workers." I answered, pushing the door open.

She perked up at the comment, almost running out the door.

"I'll see you later!" she called, running off to her apartment.

I chuckled and shook my head before quickly making my way to my own apartment.

I slowly enter the apartment and walk quietly into the bedroom. I slipped off my shoes and headed into the bathroom, where the light illuminated Dimitri's sleeping form on the bed. I pursed my lips as my eyes trailed down his bare chest, where the sheets barely covered him; hanging low on his hips.

I shook my head and turned back around, closing shut the door before I decided to wake him up and make us late; again.

I hopped into the shower and hissed slightly as the hot water sprayed against my back.

After about fifteen minutes, I got out, opening the door to let the steam out. I looked up and was met with Dimitri's bleary eyes.

"Roza," he muttered roughly, sleep in his voice.

I smiled. "Morning sunshine," I said cheerily.

He rolled his eyes, but smiled.

My jaw dropped as he shamelessly stood up, the sheet falling to the ground to reveal his semi erect cock.

I looked away and cleared my throat.

"What's wrong?" he asked huskily.

I jumped, never realizing that he was standing so close.

I took a small step back, trying to avoid all contact with him.

"You should go get ready," I said, hating how my voice sounded.

He chuckled darkly and brushed past against me.

"I'll be needing this," he said, snatching my towel away from me as he closed the door behind me.

I stared at the closed door in shock.

"Dimitri!" I yelled, hitting the door. I growled as I heard his laughing response.

I shivered slightly as I felt a small breeze from the cracked window.

I groaned. "Just great," I muttered. I had left my clothing inside the bathroom and I can't exactly knock this door down. Lissa had warned me about making damages to the apartment.

After five minutes, I rushed inside after he unlocked the door, pushing him aside.

He snickered as I slammed the door shut, quickly dressing into dark blue jeans, a black long sleeved v-neck, thigh high boots, and a brown scarf.

I applied a small amount of make-up and left my hair down in its natural curls.

Opening the door, I found Dimitri on the bed already ready.

I chucked the towel at him. "Here's your damn towel," I growled, rushing out the door to meet with the others. We were already late.

I heard his footsteps following after he locked the door behind us.

"Sorry, sorry!" I said defensively as I got to the place we were meeting at. They were currently glaring at me for being late. "Honestly, this is the earliest I've ever been late; ten minutes. Appreciate it." I warned.

Lissa scoffed, but a smile was twitching on her lips. "When are you ever going to be on time?" she muttered.

"This time was not my fault, it was his," I explained, jabbing my thumb towards Dimitri.

"Gross," Pavel muttered; disgust on his face as he wrinkled his nose.

"I wish," I muttered. "He locked me out of the bathroom."

Of course, they didn't blame him. Instead, they chuckled at me; siding with him.

"You guys suck," I mumbled, getting into the car.

Dimitri started the car as they piled in.

I snatched my hand away from his as he tried to intertwine our fingers.

He didn't say anything and there was a ghost of a smile on his lips. He knew I wasn't really angry at him; I was just playing.

When we pulled up into the construction site, I was in shock.

I got out of the car as soon as I can, ignoring the bitch that tried to flirt with Dimitri, as I stared at the newly built houses.

I heard a low whistle behind me.

"Wow," Luka said, coming up beside me as he placed an arm around my shoulder.

I looked towards him and grinned. "Let's go see your new house,"

Luka and Aiden ran ahead, bursting into their new home.

It was small and simple, but I knew the inside is anything but.

I looked inside and was met with the surprise of my life. The living room was simple; it had a brown leather couch set with a small coffee table. The television was pretty normal; no gigantic screens. There was an Xbox console beneath the television.

I slowly moved forward, finding a small dining table with four chairs. The kitchen was also simple, but big enough for these two. They had pots handing above the stove. Behind the stove was a counter with four stools on the other side.

It was nice; but I knew these two were hiding something.

Dimitri apparently thought the same as his eyes widened slightly in shock as he entered, but then they narrowed.

We looked at each other before continuing, peering inside their bedrooms; which looked almost identical to the ones in the last house.

As we walked through the hallway, my foot got caught into the rug.

I frowned. Since when do they like rugs?

Dimitri looked over at me and then his eyes swept over the house. This was the only rug in this house.

I stepped aside as Dimitri came forward, swiftly pulling the rug away, which revealed a latch.

"What is this?" I asked, turning towards the boys.

They looked at each other and shrugged.

"It's a latch," Luka said.

I rolled my eyes. "Smartass," I muttered.

Dimitri sighed, a small smile tugging on his lips, and gave me a pointed look.

I rolled my eyes again and waved him away.

"No shit, it's a latch. What's in it?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.

However, before they could answer, Dimitri grabbed the latch and pried it open.

It swung against the floor with a thud.

As we peered inside, a light automatically illuminated.

As we descended down the stairs, my jaw dropped.

There in front of me was what you called a man cave.

Pool and a poker table were situated in the middle. Off to the side was a large TV with many consoles and beanbags surrounded, not to mention the stacks of video games. On the other side was another TV that had two love seats on the side with one large one in front of the TV. In the corners of the loveseat and couch were two large leather black man chairs.

However, what caught my attention was the right side of the room where a large cabinet of liquor was situated against the wall with a bar and stools right in front of it.

"Adrian," I growled, fisting my hands.

Luka and Aiden shrugged. "He offered, but he placed a limit. He's going to be checking in now and then."
"You guys are minors!" I exclaimed. "You can't be drinking that crap."
"How old were you?" Aiden asked, already knowing the answer.

"That's different," I warned.

"Besides, we're Russians," Luka said, giving me a grin. "We can handle our liquor."
Dimitri barked out a laugh, which was cut off by my elbow and glare.

"Just leave the boys. I'll talk to Adrian about the limit and see if it's okay. We'll let them keep it, but they won't be drinking it often. Honestly, it will just collect dust."

I pursed my lips and frowned slightly. "Fine," I grumbled. "It's mostly Russian liquor anyways," I said, a gleam in my eyes.

He chuckled.

We both knew that Adrian did it on purpose. That shit was too strong for beginners like them. Hell, it was too strong for me. One taste and they wouldn't touch it anymore.

"Alright," I said reluctantly, "for now, you can only have one drink per week. I'll know if it's more." I warned.

They looked at us in surprise, but grinned. "Really?"
I sighed and nodded.

"Okay boys, we have to go. We still haven't looked at our house." Dimitri said, gently grabbing my arm.

However, I could see through his calm façade as I felt a sudden shot of urgency and lust through Dimitri.

I bit my lip. "You're right." I said, playing along. "Okay guys, the things will be delivered today and if you hurry, you can get it finished on time."

"With all the things you have, we'll be lucky to finish today," Dimitri muttered.

I scoffed and punched him in the arm. "Whatever," I grumbled, climbing back up.

We paused as we reached the top, hearing their coughing and spluttering.
"What the hell is that shit?" I heard Luka cough.

Snickering, we went out the door.

"I'm sorry Rose, but I have to go. I have a meeting that I must attend and it'll be late by the time it's over." Lissa apologized as we walked her to the cars.

I waved her off. "Its fine Lissa, don't worry about it. You can come over tomorrow." I said, reassuring her.

She smiled. "I will,"

I rolled my eyes, slightly pushing her. "Bye Lissa,"

"Bye Rose," she said, rolling her eyes at Christian's persistent honking.

I rolled my eyes at him and made my back to Dimitri to explore the house.

We walked in silence and right as we reached the porch, he scooped my up in his arms as he carried my over the threshold.

"Dimitri!" I laughed, holding onto his neck.

"What? It's tradition." He grinned down at me.

I rolled my eyes and he set me down in the middle of the living room, where it was littered with boxes.

I groaned slightly, "It's going to take forever to put everything away,"

Dimitri rolled his eyes. "It's just our belongings;" he said.

I pouted. "We still have to buy furniture."

Since the house is still up and running, we decided to leave the furniture behind as a summer home.

He smiled. "We'll do that tomorrow."

"We're getting a bed first," I said immediately.

He laughed loudly. "Why?" he asked, a teasing gleam in his eyes. "We don't have to hurry; we can sleep comfortably on the floor." He said, pulling me against him, his chest against my back. "Or we sleep as wolves." He said, tugging his fingers around my belt loops.

I leaned back against him, smiling at the thought.

I turned around in his arms and pulled on an innocent look.

"But won't it be hard for you for me to sleep almost on top of you?" I asked innocently, slowly rubbing my leg against his calf, brushing against his growing erection.

He closed his eyes and groaned softly.

When he opened them, his eyes were dark and glowing with tints of yellow.

I backed up slowly and ran off as he let out a low growl.

I barely took one step in the kitchen when his arms suddenly wrapped around me, pressing his chest once again to my back.

"Why are you running away Roza?" he mocked slightly, gripping my waist.

I couldn't answer, especially when his hand trailed down to the button of my jeans, popping it open.

"You know I'll always catch you," he continued, slipping his hand inside.

My hips bucked against his hand and my arm went behind me to wrap around his neck, the other hand clutching his hand in my jeans.

"And I'll make you feel good," he whispered, nipping my ear.

With my knees going weak, I leaned against him for support as I melted into him.

Dpov:
I groaned softly as my fingertips lightly touching her. She was already so wet; wet for me.

I grabbed her waist, supporting her weight as her knees buckled.

I gently pushed my erection against her, making her moan slightly.

I bit my lip as I tried to control myself. I wanted to go slow with her; but she wasn't helping any, neither was my inner wolf, who was struggling to get out and claim her hard and fast.

I struggled, but Rose made my decision when she abruptly cupped me and harshly squeezed.

Hissing out, I slammed her against the kitchen island, pressing up against her as I grinded into her.

She let out a high pitched moan that went straight to my cock.

She spun around in my arms, smirking at me as she leaned back against the counter, lifting a leg around my waist and grounding herself into me.

I growled, leaning into to cage her between my arms.

She hopped up on the counter and me following as she lay down before me. I got up, straddling her thighs as she spread them open for me.

My hands traveled from her ankles to the top of her thighs.

Thrusting her hips upwards, I finally slid my hands to the top of her jeans, brushing against her.

She moaned slightly, closing her eyes.

With a hard yank, the jeans slipped down her legs and she kicked them off.

Her hands reached towards my belt as her panties were also shoved down.

She unbuckled the belt, unbuttoned my jeans, and very slowly zipped down the zipper, tooth by tooth.

I bucked into her, trying to get her to hurry up.

She faltered, moaning as I rubbed against her.

Taking advantage, I grabbed her hands and yanked them over her head with one hand, while I shoved my jeans down. With my jeans up to my knees, I abruptly thrusted into her, causing her to strangle a moan and arch her back, and struggling against my hold.

I slowly pulled out, closing my eyes as she clenched me tightly.

"Dimitri" she pleaded, biting her bottom lip as she squirmed under me.

She bucked her hips into me, cause me to slide back in.

Finally, I began moving, and she joined eagerly.

"Faster," she chanted, her head falling back, her lips parted with moans coming out of her mouth.

I began to pound into her, my pace increasing as well as her moans.

"Harder!" she cried, her nails digging into my shoulders, raking them down my back.

I hissed at the contact and lifted her hips up, allowing me to go deeper.

She let out a small high pitched scream, sending shocks straight to my cock; causing me to thrust in harder in that same spot.

Her hands flew to the counter's edge, holding on tightly as I rammed into her over and over again.

"I'm so close," she moaned out, her breathing hitching.

"Cum for me Roza," I groaned, biting her ear; "If you want it that bad, cum for me."

As I finished my sentence, she clamped down tightly on me.

Groaning in ecstasy, she took me over the edge with her.

I collapsed on top of her, careful not to put my whole weight on her.

She weakly hugged me, panting as she tried to catch her breath.

"Well," she said shakily after a moment. "Our kitchen's christened."

I chuckled. "Well looks like we need the rest of the house," I grinned, feeling her foot rubbing against me leg.

She laughed as I picked her up and headed towards the living room.

I woke up, feeling the sun's rays burn my face.

I quickly, but carefully rolled over, with Roza on top of my chest.

She groaned lowly, but snuggled into me again.

I chuckled; we didn't get to sleep until very late, or very early in the morning.

"C'mon," I nudged her. "We got to get up."

"No," she groaned, her voice muffled into my chest.

I rolled my eyes and slowly sat up.

She sighed loudly and spun around, curling into the other side of the mattress.

I heaved myself up, going into the bathroom; the only room that has been untouched.

"And I was thinking we could finish the house," I trailed off, shutting the door behind me.

I wasn't able to take in the bathroom since Rose came in seconds later, shoving me into the shower.

For some reason, I just couldn't take my hands off of her. I mean, I'm attracted to her and it isn't just sexual desires. I loved Rose, but one small touch or whiff of her brings up an intense need for her. It's getting stronger these days and no matter where we are, I just want to take her; feel her beneath me, clenching me tightly and moaning my name. Thankfully she hasn't brought it up, even though I know she's wanted to ask.

There's something going on, but I'm not so sure what.

Rpov:

After two weeks, we had officially settled in. Things were great; everyone was settled in and calm. We have no problems, even at Court, despite the rumors. The only good thing that comes from that is that most Moroi tend to stray away from us. However the uneasy glances and stares do get annoying. You'd think we were snarling or barking at them.

Another thing that Lissa was working on was trying to get our small pack as part of the Court's defenses. Well, she does. We pledged ourselves to the moroi we know; not the whole damn court.

But we know that we need to protect the court's grounds for Lissa to be safe. Unfortunately, the people inside are included.

It's an idea and she hasn't brought it up yet to the council. She wants to wait for the idea of us staying right outside of Court to settle down.

However I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. An uneasy feeling was swirling in my stomach for the past few days.

I just couldn't figure out what exactly and it's been bugging the shit out of me.

Another of Lissa's ideas was to put up wards around our housing site, which I'll admit wasn't such a bad idea. Which is where Dimitri and I found ourselves; we were walking along the forest, testing out security and which way is the fastest 'exit' such as directions and where does it lead to. Also, where would be the perfect spot to place the wards without it being too near, but not being too far out.

Dimitri wrapped an arm over my shoulders, bringing up my hand and lacing his fingers through mine. I smiled as he placed a small kiss on my hair. However, he went slightly rigid. I frowned and looked up at him; he was harshly biting his bottom lip and he looked almost pained.

"Dimitri?" I asked worriedly.

He shook his head and I was about to press him when we heard rustling to the left.

We spun around, the subject automatically dropping, for now.

He silently disentangled himself from me, crouching down to a defensive stance.

As I peered into the dark forest, a few pairs of golden eyes looked right back.

I gasped, leaning back.

"Dimitri," I trailed off as they stepped into the sunlight.

Four wolves stepped in front of us, into our territory.

Please review!

I know it's been too long, so much work at school.
