Rose turned around surprised to see Sonya standing at the foot of the stairs and she realized that Sonja must have woken up while they had been talking and none of them had heard her come down the stairs. "Well, it's true I wouldn't lie to all of you," she told them staring hard at Sonya before returning her attention to the rest of them.

"I didn't say you were lying just that I can't believe that Dimitri would say something like that. He is probably just alarmed at all the bad things he did to people when he was a strigoi so he doesn't want to get to close to anyone," Sonja told them. "Anyway I'll be back in a second," she told them as Andrei started crying from upstairs. Without another word to anyone she hurried up stairs and returned with Andrei and Zoya.

Rose was about to say something to Sonja about Dimitri but before she could Sonja told her she would be back in a second as Andrei started to cry and she waited impatiently for Sonja to return. When Sonja returned she began to speak of what had happened between her and Dimitri when he had been a strigoi and she could see that everyone looked surprised by what she telling them except for Lissa who she had told already and Christian who had been told by Lissa what had happened.

"You almost became a blood whore, you're lucky you were able to escape but I'm glad that Dimitri was able to be revived," Sonja told Rose letting out a sigh deep in thought for a minute and opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted when the front door opened and Paul and Karolina came in.

"Rose, you came back," Karolina said in surprise and looked around at everyone wondering why everyone looked like they had been talking about something important. "So what were you all talking about," Karolina asked while she put the groceries in the kitchen just opening the door wide enough for her to reach inside and put the groceries on the counter.

"We were just talking about Dimitri," Viktoria told her older sister her face an emotionless mask.

"What about Dimitri?" Karolina asked turning to glare at Rose. "We already know he's a strigoi we don't you coming back here to make us hurt all over again," she said only turning away from Rose when Yeva told her to stop glaring at Rose. "Why, she doesn't need to come here to make us hurt all over again," she said looking around at everyone.

"I didn't come here to do that, actually Dimitri's not even a stigoi anymore. My friend was able to restore him back into his dhamphire self. She is a spirit user and was able to charm a stake with spirit and staked him, but instead of it killing him it restored him back into his dhamphire self," Rose told her.

"That sounds impossible, but I trust that you aren't lying so Dimitri must really be a dhamphire name. Why aren't you with him if he was restored back to his dhamphire self?" Karolina asked Rose.

"Because he told me that he didn't love me anymore so I left court and found love with someone else," Rose said indicating Mikhail.

"I'm sorry about that, but Dimitri probably had a good reason to say that," Karolina told them.

"I think it was because he hurt her when he was a strigoi," Viktoria told her older sister telling her about what had happened when Rose had first encountered Dimitri after he had turned into a strigoi.

"You shouldn't have gone, you almost became a blood whore and almost died but at least Dimitri was able to be restored to his dhamphire self Karolina told them glancing over at Paul who seemed to listening to them. "Pau; never really knew Dimitri but now it seems he probably won't ever get a chance to see his uncle," Karolina told them frowning.

"Yes, well we couldn't stay in court forever even if we are royal," Lissa told Karolina and Christian nodded in agreement to what she said.

"Wait, you're both Royal. Hopefully the court won't come here looking for you," Karolina told them frowning.

"I don't think they will Dimitri was the only one I told about coming here and he was a strigoi. He doesn't seem to remember much about being a strigoi just about all the times he hurt me and the other people he hurt," Rose told them frowning.

"Yeah, I guess he would probably have a hard time remembering something like that since it probably seemed like another persons life he was living," Mark told them.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it now and it's getting kind of late so me and Mark will be leaving," Oksana said getting up and told everyone goodbye before walking outside followed by Mark.

"Well, now I guess if we need to talk more it should wait until tomorrow. Are you guys hungry?" Olena asked them.

"No, we're fine just tired," Rose told them and her friends nodded in agreement.

"Okay then well goodnight," Olena told them before going to her own room.

Rose watched as everyone went to their rooms before showing Christian and Lissa where they would sleep. "How about we sleep together," she told Mikhail blushing slightly hoping that he would agree.

"Sounds good to me," Mikhail told her leading the way into the room and he laid down in the bed waiting for Rose.

Rose quickly changed into her pajamies before getting into bed with Mikhail. She killed him passionately for a little while before laying down beside him her head resting on his shoulder. "I love you Mikhail," she told him.

"I love you too," Mikhail told her before falling asleep.

Rose watched him sleep for awhile before letting sleep claim her and she fell asleep thinking about Mikhail.

Sorry if this chapter wasn't that good I'm trying to keep the chapters longer then the first 8 chapters and should Rose become pregnant I know dhamphires aren't suppose to be able to have babies with other dhamphires but I was thinking being Shadowkissed might change that.
