Prompt: Promise (part 2)
The Promise mark that every dhampir receives upon graduation is an ever present testament to what most members of Moroi society believes to be their sole purpose. It represents their vow to protect the Moroi no matter what—even at the cost of their own life. Rose always accepted that without question and was proud to receive her own tattoo after completing her trials.
But when she stares down at the wedding band on her finger, she knows that the promise she and Dimitri made to each other on their wedding day means so much more than the small mark on the nape of her neck. Some promises need not be etched on the skin, because they are branded with something more indelible than ink on a far more important place—the heart.
