WARNING: in this chapter this is a bit of Adrian bashing. If you like Adrian then I suggest you don't read. But I really don't like him.

Chapter 9- My Happy Ending

Three Weeks Later

"Roza, what are you saying?" His face contorted in emotional pain.

"I don't think that I can trust you. You left me twice, after saying you love me. How can you leave if you love me?"

"I've always loved you, my Roza." he said as he pulled me into his arms.

"You keep saying that and part of me wants to believe you but I just feel so used." Realisation dawned across his face.

"So you don't want to be with me then?" His grip loosened as he saw the confusion on my face. I slipped through his arms and backed away.

"That's the thing. I don't know what I want. I love you. I really do. I've never felt this way about anyone. But I just can't bring myself to forgive you yet. I need you to show me that I can trust you."

"We can work through this. I know we can. I can't live without you."

"Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?" He looked confused. "Telling me to give you everything." His body seemed to relax at these words. "Seasons may change. Winter to spring. But I love you, till the end of time." He swept me up in his arms and carried me over to my bed.

"I love you my beautiful, heavenly reason for existing. I never want to be parted from you." he whispered in my ear as he lay me down and snuggled up to me. I rested my head on his chest listening to his heartbeat as it lulled me to sleep.

Hours later I woke up to an empty bed as a sense of déjà vu washed over me. I squirmed around trying to get up when my hand fell on a piece of paper.

Rose,

Don't freak out. I'm going for a meeting with Kirova. You looked too beautiful to disturb. I'll search for you when the meeting has finished.

Yours forever,

Relief washed over me as I read his note. "I suppose I'll go work out for a while." I muttered to myself as I walked over to my wardrobe and pulled out my red and black sports bra and shorts before putting on my black trainers. I ran down to the gym and went straight to the mat to start my stretches. I spread my legs and bent down my head nearly touching the floor when from in between my legs I saw Adrian, the resident gigolo, enter the gym. 50% of the girls old enough have slept with him. 45% of the girls that haven't, want to. And the rest, which is my favourite category, absolutely hate him and aren't affected by his "good looks."

"Ooooo. One of these days you're gonna give me a heart attack, Little Dhampir." He made me want to heave. How did he get girls to sleep with him? He's so far up his own arse. It must be the fact that his is rich AND because he's the queen's favourite great-nephew. That could have something to do with it.

"What do you want, Adrian?" I said before standing up and turning around to face him. "I'm busy."

"That's not nice, Little Dhampir. I just came to talk to you."

"Well I'm busy Adrian so can you make it quick." I moved over to the wall where there was a rack of weights. I was just about to pick up a weight when Adrian spun me around and pushed me against the wall. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I want you, Little Dhampir." His lips crushed down on mine before I could push him off me. I bit his lip and kneed him in his most precious jewels before running past him, watching as he crumbled to the floor. I burst through the gym doors and ran into a hard chest.

"Dimitri!"

"Having fun Rose?" His words cut deep into my heart.

"You saw that then." I said, releasing the air that I didn't know I was holding in.

"Yes I did. And now I'm glad that I'm being called into this war. At least then I won't have to see you and Ivashkov together. I mean you gave me all that shit about not being able to trust me yet here you are sneaking about with Ivashkov."

"You've got it all wrong-"

"Don't Rose! I know what I saw. Give me some credit. Don't ruin the small amount of respect I still have for you."

"But where are you going?"

"To fight a big group of strigoi that have become increasingly powerful."

"But that's suicide!" He stared at me.

"I know." he replied, before turning and walking out of my life… again. I stared after his retreating figure until he turned around to look at me once more. I could have sworn that I saw sadness and longing in his eyes but it could have been due to my vision being impaired by the tears that were racing down my cheeks. He started walking again and turned around the corner. Will I ever see him again? Not likely.

"So much for my happy ending."

A/N: I know you guys are going to kill me but all will end well! I have possibly 2 chapters left. Lets make the most of them! R&R please guys.
