Meet Me In The Moonlight

Chapter 9

Before she knew what was happening, the large brown male that reminded her of Dimitri launched himself at her. He landed on top of her, knocking her original attacker to the side. She looked up at the giant that now towered over her. He really did look like a grown version of Dimitri, but Rose knew that it couldn't be him. He and his family left long ago, never to return. Aleksandor's turf war had been nothing more than a threat, seeing as he never did anything. But anything about Dimitri still left a stinging bite of betrayal behind in her mind.

What did you say your name was?

His voice was deep and strong. It was nothing like the boy she never saw again.

Why do you care? Either kill me or let me go. I don't have time for your shit.

Rose's response obviously didn't please her captors. One of the others, a smaller wolf, easily recognized as a female stepped forward. She was quite slimmer, but it was an obvious sign she had bred recently. It probably wouldn't be long before she began to birth her litter.

This your first litter? Rose surprised herself by asking.

Don't answer her Karo. What did you say your name was?

Whoever it was that was holding her down now was becoming more aggressive.

Karo? That's your name?

A feeling of shock washed over Rose. She remembered Dimitri stating he had two brothers and two sisters long ago, and one sister was named Karolina. She was a russet color, a shade that could rival rust. Her bright sapphire blue eyes stayed on Rose. The other was Sonya. She was a deep blond, with a burning golden color in her eyes. She didn't remember what his brothers were named but the other two males matched the descriptions Dimitri gave her so long ago. The pieces were falling in to place and clicking in her mind. Finally, she let her eyes wonder up and look at her surroundings. About 20 feet away was a tree with branches low enough that she could jump and climb it. Putting all her focus into it, Rose began the process of shifting. As her body began to change and break in places, her captors backed away from her, completely mystified. Rose screamed as her body began to shift and morph. It was an overwhelming pain, but Rose had to get away. She hadn't realized it until the name Karo had been said, but now that it had, she understood that it was the Belikov family. Or at least most of it. As soon as the pain subsided, Rose turned and ran for the tree, jumping up to the limb and rapidly climbing as her captors began to chase after her.

You won't get away! Dimitri yelled after her.

You can't stop me Dimitri.

Dimitri stopped dead in his tracks as he recognized the voice that danced in his mind. It was the same voice that haunted his dreams every night. He never knew about the threat and he couldn't figure out why Rose hadn't come to meet him before leaving, all those months ago. He had missed her terribly this entire time, and now here she was in front of him. He wasn't going to let her escape again. This time, he was determined to keep her by his side.

Rose? Is that really you? When did you learn the black magic?

It's me Dimitri. And Alberta has been around a while. My equivalent to your Yeva if you will.

Please come down and talk to me! Why did you never come to meet me?

Your family threatens my people and you never thought to tell me. I wonder, Dimitri, why you never did. If your father had actually attacked, my brothers and I would most likely be dead! How could you never tell me?

Aleksandor did what?!

It was Karolina's voice that interrupted their conversation. Rose didn't know what to think. Karolina was a genuine girl, Rose knew that much.

He threatened to take over my father's territory and murder my people. Did you not know? Dimitri has always been destined to take over with Aleksandor's passing.

Aleksandor is an abusive bastard. Why do you think my family was leaving Rose? He knew about my meetings with you! That's why I came to try talking you in to leaving with me! Aleksandor's threat wasn't just a threat. His numbers are still small, but he is going to strike when your father least expects it. Rose, he wasn't joking.

Rose jumped down from the tree and took off running, shifting as she went. Before Dimitri or any others had even began to chase after her, Rose had quite a bit of lead way. She ran and ran. Sonya and Karolina tried to stop Dimitri from following when they hit the border between territories, but he wasn't going to let her get away again. He could care less of the consequences at this point. All he cared about was his Roza. After spending many months away from her, thinking of nothing but her, he wasn't going to let it happen. So he chased behind her. Until he heard her screaming for her father. He slowed his pace, but it was too late to turn around, so he just stopped.

And now, he was the one surrounded.

So there it is! Leave me lots of love for another update in that pretty box right down there...
