RPOV

"There was nothing you could do, Roza." Dimitri comforted as we cuddled in bed. We'd just gotten back to the house and finished taking a shower, and Dimitri had finally Shifted back.

After Galina had understood what was going to happen, I beheaded her. The Pricolici were the only remnants of Galina's empire other than the Strigoi that had been sent out at the beginning of the night.

"I still feel bad. They weren't hurting anyone anymore. I had them under control." I grumbled knowing he was right.

"I know, but even you don't know how long you could have kept them in control." Dimitri soothed pulling me closer to him.

"It feels nice having you back in human form. If you ever go on strike like that again, I'm dropping you from the pack." I said in a serious tone. He chuckled and kissed my neck.

"I'm sure you will." He mumbled as he continued to pepper kisses on my skin.

"I'm serious, I will." I moaned as Dimitri's hand started circling lower. "Even your charming ways couldn't persuade me otherwise."

"We'll see about that." He chuckled dipping his hand between my thighs. My back arched involuntarily causing my ass to grind against his growing erection. "However, I will say that I'm glad to have you back in my arms."

I made a noise that sounded like agreement as his fingers worked their magic. My mind went blank before filling with thoughts of only Dimitri and the pleasure he was giving. His lips worked their way to my earlobe before nipping at it gently.

He abruptly pulled away, leaving me panting in frustration.

"Where do you think you're going?" I growled when he climbed off the bed. His smirk made me rush after him when he disappeared into the closet.

He didn't turn on the light when he entered and I didn't get a chance before I was shoved against the back wall of the closet. Before I had a chance to fight back, cold metal was clamped around my wrists, attaching me to the wall.

"Dimitri!" I growled threateningly, but he just chuckled and pressed his body firmly against mine. Without thinking, I used my legs to try and push him away, but he grabbed the backs of my knees and wrapped them around his waist.

He moved my shackles a little higher so I was hanging off the ground about a foot. My grip on his body kept the pressure off my wrists, though.

"Your father really outdid himself when he installed these," Dimitri smirked as he studied the metal cuffs that encircled my wrists and the pulley system that kept me suspended. "With the way the arms are separated and pitched slightly back, there is no way for you to Shift, at least without causing yourself tremendous pain."

"I'm so glad that you approve, now let me go," I growled tugging at my restraints again.

"You said that we'd have to try this out. This is me trying it out." He stated nonchalantly.

"I meant for you to be chained, not me," I mumbled.

"Oh, so there's a double standard here? It's okay for me to be chained up, but it's not okay for you to be chained up?" He asked with narrowed eyes.

"Exactly."

"That hardly seems fair."

"Life isn't fair, Comrade," I said mock-sagely.

"That it isn't." He muttered pulling back. I tried to tighten my legs around him to keep him in place, but he pried himself away.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm not going anywhere, just shifting position." He said with a cocky grin. My eyes narrowed at his nondescript answer. Before I had time to think through all the possible positions he could be shifting into, he fell to his knees before me.

I released an Alpha growl that made his eyes glow gold. He gripped my ankles as they dangled above the ground and placed them over his shoulders. He was at the perfect height for my knees to rest on his shoulders, holding me up. This also put him in direct contact with my sex.

He looked up at me from his position between my thighs, and through the valley of my breasts, I could see him lick his lips in anticipation.

"You know, you didn't have to chain me up for you to go down on me." I breathed in an attempt to control my lust for the man.

"I know, but this way I can do whatever I want, and you're powerless to stop me." He smirked right before plunging his tongue into my dripping heat.

He pulled out slowly as my scream of pleasure died away. His tongue traveled upward, and he dragged his bottom lip over my clit as he went. His hands kept my thighs apart as he continued on, being as methodical in giving me the best orgasm I'd ever had.

"You know, I was thinking. What happens if you do end up destroying all Strigoi and Pricolici? What will you feed on then?" Dimitri asked as I tried to catch my breath. I moaned in protest at his attempt to pull my brain back into a functioning state.

"That was what you were thinking?" I asked incredulously.

"Well, yes, but not just now. I thought this when you were covered in Galina's blood."

"And you thought now would be the best time to ask?" The lust-induced fog that had clouded my mind was lifting and being replaced by annoyance and anger.

"Don't use that tone of voice with me," Dimitri said with a slight glare. My essence was still on his face and glistened as he set his jaw firmly.

My mind was once again filled with all the dirty things Dimitri could do with me chained, but when I tried to clench my thighs to stifle my arousal, Dimitri was still hindering my ability to do so.

"Comrade," I said somewhat evenly as I laid my head back against the wall and closed my eyes to remained focused. "If you want to continue this discussion, I suggest you unchain me. Otherwise, do something useful with your body."

"Oh, Roza." He chuckled darkly. "You haven't seen half the useful things I can do with my body."

I moaned again and squirmed against the chains for what seemed like the millionth time. Dimitri stood from his place before me and quickly closed the distance between our mouths. I could taste myself on his tongue when he pried my lips apart to gain access to mine.

I battled him for dominance, seeing as my tongue could be the only battle I could win in my current position, but he again claimed victory. I was so distracted by his tongue that I didn't notice he'd lined himself up with my sex until he slammed into me.

I pulled back from the passionate kiss to scream out his name. I couldn't tell if it was pain or pleasure because it seemed to be on the thin line in between the two.

"I love hearing you scream my name." Dimitri breathed in my ear in the most Alpha voice I'd ever heard from him.

The rumble in his chest sent a violent shiver up my spine. One of his hands ran from my knee to the back of my thigh, effectively holding me in place, while the other spread across my ribcage. His palm felt like fire and his thumb elicited another moan from me as it gently caressed the underside of my breast.

He slowly pulled his hips back with a confident smirk. My hips tried to chase him without consent from me which only caused his smirk to grow into a full-blown cocky grin. I growled when he didn't bring his hips back to mine but opted to pull out to his tip.

My patience was beyond thin, and I think he sensed this seconds before slamming back into me. Once again, I screamed out his name and it died off with a moan.

"I think you're pushing the limits of your father's soundproofing." Dimitri chuckled in my ear as he pushed my hair away from my neck. He nipped harshly at my neck eliciting another loud moan from me.

I felt slightly drained of energy, like Dimitri was pounding it out of me, but I found enough to wrap my legs around his waist and keep him pressed against me. However, I knew if he wanted to, he could easily get away from me and leave me chained up in frustration.

He soothed the sting of his bite with a wide brush of his tongue. Without warning, Dimitri started to drive hard inside me. His rough breathing heated and cooled my neck in tempo with his hip movements.

My screams increased in pitch and length with each thrust. I could feel Dimitri losing control as his claws elongated into my side. Normally this might hurt, but right now the pain was balancing out the immense pleasure.

My arms were begging to be wrapped around him, and I found the strength to break my wrists from the metal cuffs. I could feel Dimitri's surprise and increased arousal as my nails ran down his back, but he didn't pause in his work between my thighs.

I could feel the howl building in his chest with the tension in his shaft. My Alpha was clawing her way out, but I could hold out until Dimitri started the howl. He threw his head back and released the loudest, most passion-filled howl I'd ever heard as his cock pulsed in time with my pussy.

Not wanting to be outdone, my howl joined his and strengthened it. I couldn't give you a timeframe for how long this howl lasted, but it surprised me at its length considering we were already out of breath.

I opened my eyes, unaware that I had closed them to begin with. The lights had gone out, the only light in the room being the glow from our eyes and the brilliant white light shining from our Marks.

"Have you ever seen or heard of Marks doing this?" I asked breathlessly, tracing my finger along my Mark on the back of his neck.

"No, but I've also never heard about a howl that blew the power." Dimitri chuckled after catching his breath. "I'm pretty sure every experience with you is unique and wonderful."

"BELIKOV!" I heard my father roar. I saw the gold circles widen in the dark as the pounding footsteps came to an abrupt halt outside our door.

I heard Dimitri curse under his breath as he pulled out of me and stumbled around for clothing. I managed to find one of his shirts and pull that over my head before helping Dimitri find his pants.

The pounding on our door had steadily increased in intensity as did the volume of my father's voice.

"Belikov! Open this door right this fucking second before I decide to rip your dick off and mount it on my wall!" The first threat came. I stifled a laugh at Dimitri's terrified expression

"When I get my hands on you…" Pavel's threat was left open-ended which provided Dimitri with more fear. I'd stopped looking for Dimitri's pants in the dark and focused on not busting out laughing. Dimitri was still searching frantically for a piece of clothing to cover himself.

"BELIKOV!" Abe cried once more as Dimitri finally pulled on his pants and flung the door open.

Pavel and Abe stormed into the room. Abe had a lantern in one hand as Pavel pushed Dimitri back into the room harshly. Their screams and threats had been one thing, but seeing them practically attack my Pair sparked something inside me.

Dimitri was fumbling with his words trying to explain himself and calm the two enraged men in front of him. The gold had left his eyes, but the lilac was starting to flood my irises again as my Pair was being threatened.

The light from my eyes and our Marks filled the room with more than enough light.

"Pavel," I spoke in a quiet, calm voice, though my emotions were raging inside. "I suggest you remove your hand from my Pair before I remove it from your body."

"Stay out of this, Rose," Abe growled gently, keeping his eyes trained on Dimitri. I saw Dimitri's eyes flash gold as my protectiveness grew. "What do you think you were doing with my daughter?"

"It wasn't like you didn't know what we were doing, Abe," I growled taking a menacing step toward them.

"I knew what you were doing, but I didn't think you be so loud and obvious about it," Abe yelled at me, but again it was directed at Dimitri.

"Don't you dare speak to her like that. We are Paired, and she is beautiful. You can't expect me to contain myself around her." Dimitri growled, the gold shining bright in his eyes now. He straightened his spine, making him look taller and more threatening.

Pavel finally dropped his hand from Dimitri's chest and was smart enough to take a step back. I walked slowly and purposefully to Dimitri's side as he faced down my father and uncle.

"I apologize that we got a little noisy. I'll try to keep it down next time. I'm also sorry that the power went out, but I will not apologize for the way I treated your daughter." Dimitri finished with a cocky smirk.

His arm snaked around my waist and pulled me closer. Abe looked amused, though still upset, and Pavel looked purely murderous. Abe returned his looked to threatening but placed a hand on Pavel's shoulder. With one last sneer, Pavel stormed out of the room. Abe threw a loaded look at Dimitri and left the room also, giving me a loving smile as he closed the door behind him.

"Will it ever get easier dealing with the two of them?" Dimitri asked with a sigh.

"Probably not, but if you love me, you'll continue to deal with them," I smirked up at him.

"Then I guess I'll just have to keep dealing with them." He said with a large smile before returning his lips to mine to finish what we started.

Hey guys!

That's it! Another story down!

*dusts off hands before cleaning clay dust off keyboard*

I thank you for all of you that have been here since the start of this one, and I thank everyone that has joined the ride along the way. This is probably the longest story (chapter wise) that I will ever do. For those authors that can write a hundred chapters in one story and still stick with it, I applaud you. Anyway, I really hope that you have enjoyed Under the Moonlight, and if you didn't...well...I tried my best.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!
