Chapter 1

I turned away from him, trying to calm my churning emotions. When I looked back, our eyes locked, power and electricity burning between us. Dimitri could ignore it all he wanted, but that connection-that deep calling of our souls-was still in there. I wanted to touch him, not just with this brushing of my leg but with everything. I wanted to wrap him in my arms and hold him against me, reassuring him that we could do anything together. Without even realizing it, I reached toward him, needing that touch. He sprang up like I was a snake, and all of his guardians shot forward, braced for what he might do.

But he did nothing. Nothing except stare at me with a look that made my blood run cold. Like I was something strange and bad. "Rose. Please stop. Please stay away." He was working hard to stay calm.

I shot up, now as angry and frustrated as him. I had a feeling it I stayed, we'd both snap. In an undertone, I murmured, "this isn't over. I won't give up on you"

"I've given up on you," he said back, voice also soft. "Love fades. Mine Has."

I stared at him in disbelief. All this time, he'd never phrased it like that. His protests had always been about some greater good, about the remorse he felt over being a monster or how it had scarred him for love. I've given up on you. Love fades. Mine has.

I backed up, the sting of those works hitting me as hard as if he'd slapped me. Something shifted in his features, like maybe he knew how much he'd hurt me. I didn't stick around to see. Instead, I pushed my way out of the aisle and ran out the doors in the back, afraid that if I stayed any longer, everyone in the church would see me cry.

AN: this is where my story starts J

I didn't wait outside the church to talk to him. I didn't go cry to Lissa, because I knew she wouldn't understand no matter how much I explained It to her. I went to the only person I could think of.

I went to Adrian.

I thought about what Dimitri said when I was trekking slowly to Adrian's suite. Love Fades. Mine Has. No, that couldn't be true. A love like ours couldn't just fade. No matter what. I'd also wondered how Adrian would react when I told him what happened and what I wanted to do now. After all he had just dumped me a couple hours ago.

I dismissed all my thoughts when I reached the door to Adrian's suite. I knocked three times on the door. "What do you wa-"

His stopped abruptly when he saw who was outside the door, but soon composed himself. "Little dhampir, what a pleasure. What can I do for you?"

I smiled at him using my charm to get him to agree with what I was about to ask.

I took a deep breath and asked, "I want to leave court. With you"
