Chapter 28

DIMITRI'S POV

I had just left out our room and couldn't hide my smile. I was ready to begin the next chapter in my life with Rose. I was more than ready I was anxious. I had realized Roza was going to be late so I thought I would take out her dress and shoes and set it out for her. I wrote her a note and left her a single rose on the bed.

I had made it to the rehearsal hall and everyone was talking to Lissa. The baby was still at the hospital; they were releasing him in a couple of hours. He had begun gaining weight and was almost a pound more than his birth weight.

It was going on thirty minutes past the initial rehearsal time. Rose had texted me saying she only needed ten more minutes, that was ten minutes ago. I was getting worried and decided to go talk to my future father in law. As I was walking towards him, my mother suggested we eat first while we waited for Rose.

Abe was looking at his watch when I walked up.

"Did you call her?" he asked me obviously worried.

"No. She texted me telling me she would be here soon, but that was almost fifteen minutes ago. Your daughter has never been known for her punctual timing."

I think I was trying to convince myself more than him. He must have picked up on this.

"I am calling Henrich" he said.

Henrich was one of his guardians assigned to Rose until further notice. I waited for him to finish his conversation, obviously in Turkish. He ended the conversation in a heated raised voice. I suddenly tensed knowing something was wrong.

"What did he say?" I asked suddenly worried.

"He said she is not in her room." He said.

I began running towards the door when Tasha walked in with a smile on her face. I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Natasha what are you doing here?" Christian yelled across the hall.

Suddenly everyone was staring at the both of us.

"I just came to talk to Dimitri for a second." She said never losing that grin.

"I'm sorry I don't have time for this; I need to find Rose." I said pushing past her.

"Dimka, she isn't coming."

I lost all control. I had her up against the wall by her throat.

"What the hell did you do, Tasha?" I said through gritted teeth.

I was shaking uncontrollably and there were several hands grabbing at me. There hands only made my grip tighter. She seemed to be struggling for breath.

"Dimitri, look at me!" My grandma yelled.

I met her eyes never losing the grip I had on Tasha's neck.

"Let her go, now!" she said.

There was a tiny part of me that knew what I was doing was wrong, but I couldn't help myself. I loosened my grip only a little. I wanted to make sure she had enough air to talk and that was about it.

I heard Abe yelling to his remaining guardians to head to the house. Alberta was on the phone asking for the court's perimeter to be checked.

Tasha was coughing, but I still had her pinned against the wall with my hand right under her chin.

"Where the hell is Rose?" I yelled through the hall it echoed and even scared me. I felt completely helpless and angry.

"I had to talk to her. You don't understand. She needed to know the truth." She said.

"What are you fucking talking about?" I asked shaking again.

"I told her about us. She seemed to know about our first indiscretion. I just informed her about how we ended up sleeping together when we got back from our shopping trip last year. She needed to be told the truth, so I told her." She said.

Everyone looked at me. There were faces of complete disproval and shock. . Alex was now standing right next to me now. His face was one of anger.

"What is she talking about Dimitri?" he asked only inches from me.

"Yes we slept together. Slept being the operative word; that is all that happened. We were only together once. Rose already knows about it. I told her and she forgave me."

"Dimitri you belong with me. You need to realize that. You and I are going to be together. You do not love Rose." She was staring deep into my eyes.

I suddenly felt funny and was only thinking about Tasha. The next instant it was like I was awakened with cold water. Tasha's throat was no longer in my hands. Viktoria was now on top of her on the floor. Alex was trying to pry her off of Tasha.

I couldn't waste anymore time on Tasha. I had to find Rose. I yelled at Alex to have her brought to the prison. They could at least hold her on the compulsion charge. I needed her out of the equation where she couldn't cause anymore trouble. Alberta ran into the hall then. She looked a little shocked at the scene in front of her. She began walking towards me with a terrified look on her face.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

There were so many thoughts going through my head.

"This was left for you at the front gate." She said.

I grabbed the envelope out of her hand. It was the same kind that Rose had received only days ago, but it was addressed to me.

I opened the envelope and read the letter.

The past had came back to revisit me.

ROSE POV

"ROSEMARIE, WE MEET AT LAST MY LOVE!"

It was the voice I had been hearing in my dreams. I was so afraid to look up. How stupid could I have been? I mean walking into the woods. He stepped out of the shadow of the trees and I saw his face. The features were mirror images of a face I had known so well. He was of course older, paler, and a little shorter, but the similarities were shocking. He must have realized I knew who he was.

"What do you want with me?" I asked automatically putting my hands to my stomach.

"I told you. You will be mine. I am only doing to my son what he did to me." he said walking closer to me.

I started to back up, and became aware that there were three strigoi closing in on me. The nausea was almost unbearable. I was grabbed quickly by strong hands and knew that I could not risk the chance of harming my child. He walked closer to me. His eyes were not red; they were the same brown eyes that I looked into every night. There were my love's eyes.

"Do not hurt her in anyway" he yelled to the two strigoi holding me.

"I am sorry it has to be this way. I want to properly introduce myself. I am Maxim Belikov. It is very nice to meet you." He leaned in and kissed my cheek and I cringed at his touch.

"Don't be like that love. We have lots of time to get to know each other. I am sorry but we must leave immediately. We have a wedding to attend." He said.

I was being pushed deeper into the woods. He spoke to the Strigoi in another language. I wasn't quite sure what it was, but he had obviously told him we were pressed for time. I was quickly picked up into one of the strigoi's arms, and he ran towards a waiting limo on the outskirts of the woods. I was scared to be sitting in the limo with three hungry looking Strigoi, but they did not harm me. They just waited until my captor reached the limo. He jumped in and ordered the driver to drive towards the airport.

"Rose I am sorry that it has to be this way, but I will explain everything once we reach our destination. I think you should sleep love. You will need your rest for our honeymoon."

I looked at him and realized whose wedding we were going to be late for. Ours! There was no way I was marrying him. I realized that I needed an escape plan and I needed it now. The only thing I knew to do was go to sleep, and pray that Adrian would visit me. I leaned my head back against the seat and finally found sleep.
