RPOVSongs: WALLS by Kings of Leon, Retrograde by James Blake, Politik by ColdplayThe last of the dying flames finally diminished and the forest returned back to it's darkened state. I could no longer sense any other Strigoi nearby and was satisfied that we had taken them all out. A few of the men tossed some dirt over the remains of the scorched bodies that Lord Ozera had taken care of for us. The sun would've been just as effective in the morning, but it also posed the risk of catching some of the trees on fire as well and we were all glad no to have to drag the bodies back with us.Christian leaned his back against a nearby pine and let out a deep huff. I could tell his unusual paleness wasn't just a result of the still beaming moonlight and grabbed a couple Guardians nearby. "You two escort Lord Ozera back to the castle. He needs blood to replenish."The men nodded at me in agreeance and walked over to help Christian up. He defiantly shrugged them off at first, insisting that he

DPOVSong: Through the Dark by Alexi Murdoch, Beyond by Leon BridgesThe next week after Rose had asked me to take the role of High Constable was a nightmare. Victor was more than pleased at the news and insisted on having a small ceremony to make it official. It took everything within me to keep a scowl from my face during the charade as I was forced into the center of attention, but every once in a while I'd catch a glimpse at Rose, and the small, amused grin tugging at her lips kept my mood at bay.Immediately following the ceremony I was bombarded by tasks. Most of them were benign, routine undertakings to get me used to a position of authority in the kingdom, but others were necessities I had encumbered on myself. Specifically, finding out anything and everything I could about the íonachta. I had to be discreet in my findings but had managed to gather enough information about the extremist group from a variety of sources to determine our best defensive strategies. Apparently, the

RPOVSongs: Tell Me, Sara by Evan P Donohue, Every Night by Josef Salvat, Keep Lying by Donna MissalOver the next couple of weeks, training began to slow down as several men were inducted as official Dragomir Guardians. I was more than pleased by the progress we had made those few short months and liked to think it was partly due to the extra work Dimitri and I had put in to improve the skills of our new recruits. There were still some that needed a little more work before becoming a full-fledged Guardian, but overall we had commissioned more Guardians than ever before in such a short span of time. Even Victor was impressed.Even though official training instruction with the troops was slightly reduced during the week, Dimitri and I still maintained a steady cadence and tried to host as many sessions that would allow in between our other responsibilities around the kingdom. I was proud to see how well the men had taken to his authority, even those that had been in the regiments for s

CPOVSongs: My Dove, My Lamb by Phosphorescent, How Soon is Now by The SmithsThis place.I couldn't believe how much I had initially dreaded making the journey. I had only heard tales of the bleak and dreary Dragomir palace, but after spending just over a month there, I was already feeling more at home than I had even back in my native kingdom.People at St. Vladimir's didn't look down on me or pity me for the sins of my parents like they did back home. There, even some of my own family members tended to stay away from me, as if I contracted some kind of contagious sickness from my mother and father's sins. Natasha was the only one who truly regarded me as a vital member of our family—and was really the only one that cared about me.When she first told me that I would be sent to court Princess Vasilisa of the Dragomir line, I thought I was being punished. Finally being cast out of Inferion for good. If I was no longer there, then the constant reminder of what shame my parents had bro

RPOVSongs: Shrike by Hozier, Sea of Love by Cat Power, Show Me Love by Hundred WatersI walked into Dimitri's tent to find him lounging on his bed with a book in his hand. His other arm was draped behind him, propping up his head. He looked completely relaxed as he poured over the pages in front of him. It baffled me how something as monotonous as reading could bring this giant warrior to a state of contentment. As much as I loved giving him shit about it, a couple weeks ago I had decided to show him the castle library where he was welcome to replenish his collection. An enraptured stare formed on his face as he scanned the book-lined walls, and I decided I loved that look on his face even more than teasing him.Daisy perked up from the end of the bed and hopped over to me as I moved further in. Dimitri's eyes peered at me over the edge of his novel and I leaned down to stroke Daisy's back."So," he sat up a little straighter and placed his book down beside him. "How'd it go?"I look

RPOVSongs: Dusty Trails by Lucius, Bury by Unions, Destroyer by PhantogramOnce it was out of me, I couldn't stop saying it. Whether it was whispered in his ear when he finally managed to pin me to the ground, or screamed against his shoulder as he made sweet love to me, I was hooked. It was strange really, the more love I gave him the more I had bursting through me.Without meaning to, we had become protectors of one another, confidants, and true friends. And now, something infinitely more.It consumed my thoughts. When I wasn't with him I couldn't help my mind from wandering to when the next time I'd see him would be or reminiscing over every moment we shared. It was pathetic really, but I also couldn't remember a time of every being so undoubtedly happy. Apart from him, my only other thoughts centered around Lissa, and the Ozeras.In his tent, Dimitri had divulged some secrets about their family that had me seeing them in a completely new light. He had told me that a little over t

Most of the water had frozen over. There were only a few shallow cracks where the stream still sloshed over the ice and I stared blankly at those small openings.It was as if my insides were splayed out before me. What once was a lively, welcoming stream full of warmth had hardened and left no room for any sign of life. But where the frigid winds and dropping temperatures had been the cause of the brook's dormancy, harsh words and self-destruction had been mine. I sat there replaying Dimitr

RPOVSong: Absolution by Pretty Reckless"What are you saying, Rose?"At the start of the day, I left Dimitri's chambers and immediately went to Victor's office. I didn't want to waste another minute. I was done hiding. When I first arrived my uncle was welcoming and intent to indulge in pleasantries with me. I guess he had a right to be after I'd basically helped him seal one of the greatest alliances our kingdom had ever made, but as I dove into why I was really there his voice no longer had that genial tone."I'm saying that I won't do it. I won't marry him."Victor regarded me seriously for a moment, letting my words hang in the air. He slowly rose to stand from his seat and began walking towards me from around the desk. "Listen, Rose. I know you think you love him, but it's just infatuation. You're still young. You'll see over time that this was just a flitting thing and you would have thrown away your entire future for something that will easily fade."Anger began to rise inside
