Chapter 1

He Doesn't Know

RPOV

It had been about a month since Dimitri and I had been...intimate. And I had some amazing news to share with him. The impossible had happened. I was pregnant and it was his. It was a miracle.

I walked briskly to the gym at court hoping he'd be working out in there and I could tell him the news because, let's face it, ever since I had found out I had been glowing. I hadn't even told Lissa yet. She was going to kill me for not telling her first. But Dimitri was the father. He had to know first. Walking into the main entrance of the gym, I stopped to listen for any sounds that would indicate his presence. It was silent. Figuring that he wasn't here, I walked back out, heading towards the Gaurdians court headquarters.

Stepping inside the main entrance there, I went to the front desk and asked the receptionist if she could help me.

"I'm looking for Gaudian Belikov. Do you know where he is?"

"Didn't he tell you Gaurdian Hathaway?" she asked, puzzled.

"No. What's going on?"

"He was sent on a mission with a few other gaudians. He left this note for you." She informed me, handing me a white envolope. On the front, there was, in his handwriting, Rose.

I hastily opened it as I walked to take a seat a few feet away. I unfolded the paper and slowly read.

My dearest Roza,

I have been sent with a few other gaurdians. I do not know how long I will be away or If I will even be back. Please take care of yourself and hopefully I will see you someday.

Love always, Dimitri

Only two words would go through my mind. He's gone.
