Epilogue: Years Gone By

Three years later.

I laid there with Rose, my Roza, tracing circles on her stomach, and taking in her beautiful form.

"Dimitri?" She asked, sitting up in the bed next to me.

"Yes, love?" I said, smiling at her.

"I know how good of guardian you are." I nodded, wondering where this was heading. "Well, when you caught Liss and me in Portland, I saw you out of the window. I know now that you would have never made a mistake like that knowingly." I grinned, knowing what she was about to ask. "What happened? What made you slip-up?"

I grabbed her, pulling her close to my chest as she giggled. "You." I kissed the top of her head, breathing in the scent of her hair. "I saw you and you took my breath away. I was physically drawn toward you that night." She gripped me tighter to her.

"I love you." She said, as she looked deep in my eyes with that loving smile on her beautiful face.

"As I love you." I kissed her perfect soft lips. She pulled away and draped her body across mine. "Now it's my turn." I said stroking her long brown hair. "When I caught you from falling on the street, did you feel a weird electric tingling?" She grabbed my hand and shivered form the current of electricity passing through us.

"I felt it that night, and I have never stopped feeling it since. It's not weird, it's just amazing, exactly like you." She smiled at me and pressed the palm of my hand to her lips, and heat spread through my entire body. God, she's the amazing one, and I am lucky to have her.

So here we are, three years after our first encounter. So many things have happened to us, and we fought most of the way through it together. No matter the case, whether it was fighting the bad guys, death of loved ones, the loss of my soul, hurtful words or accusations of murder we made it through somehow. If anything, all of our hard times only made our love stronger.

I'm Christian's guardian, and Rose is Lissa's. Hans even stepped down to give head guardian to Rose. We live together at court, and everything seems great. Not perfect, because we still have our quarrels- which usually end up in our bedroom with different types of screams- and our disagreements. Not to mention all the challenges that come with our dangerous jobs.

Still, through it all, I believe we will survive. This girl is the color in my world, she is my beauty and I am her beast, just like I was from the moment I opened the worn folder, and we will overcome anything that's thrown in our path, no matter what. But unlike times before, we will achieve our goals, together.
