When Rose was summoned from the clinic to the Headmistress’ office, she was feeling pretty cocky about it.  Even if she hadn’t really been supposed to visit Victor Dashkov, the fact that she was there had kept his plan to have his daughter Natalie turn Strigoi and free him from succeeding.  Well, okay, the fact that Dimitri had been ( Read more... )

Rose bullied her way out of the clinic early the next morning. It was more difficult than she'd expected, but she played the sympathy card and the 'no, really, I'm totally better, pay no attention to that stumbling' card to everyone she came across, and finally she'd managed to get to the cells where Victor was being held ( Read more... )

A wave of amusement and slight worry flowed through the bond to her as Lissa made a face.  “Guardian Belikov's been very ( Read more... )

The presence of that tall, hot Russian guardian - Dimitri - at the meeting with Kirova became clear to Rose fairly soon after it started.
