Thank you everyone who've reviewed! And I have almost 80 people who've signed up for alerts. Here's chapter 30!!!

"Everything packed?" Dimitri asked, as I put the last piece of clothing in my bag.

It was amazing how quick the week past. We were leaving for Russia today and in four days, I would be Mrs. Rose Belikov.

"Yup." I answered.

Everyone would meet us at the chapel except for—Lissa, Christian, Mia, Eddie, Adrian, and Aleyna—who were leaving with us today.

I invited Aleyna, of course, because I'd gotten to know her during the past week, and I'm sure Adrian would've wanted her to come. She was a Moroi and he was a Moroi. She wasn't royal, but I thought it was still sweet.

Lissa had bought CC a little dress for the wedding which I thought was like a minnie dress of mine.

Once we arrived in Russia, we were immediately greeted by Dimitri's family.

"Four more days Rose!" Viktoria rejoiced, pulling me into a tight hug.

Aleyna, Adrian, Mia, and Eddie were staying in an inn across the street from the Belikov's house; while Lissa, Dimitri, Christian, and I stayed in the usual guestrooms.

I had asked Aleyna to be one of my bridesmaids along with Mia and Viktoria because she was like a friend to me now.

"Thank you so much, Rose!" Aleyna said, pulling me into a hug.

I smiled then hugged her back. "You welcome."

"But I don't have a dress…" she suddenly remembered.

Lissa stepped forward. "No problem. I'm sure there's a dress shop here somewhere."

Oh, by the way, my bridal shower was tonight. Lissa had surprised me by telling me this morning that she had been planning in every since.

What was sad was that I wouldn't see Dimitri until we were on the altar. Lissa said it was a 'tradition' that the bride couldn't see her groom a couple of days before the wedding.

So after we got settled in the house, Dimitri and the guys would leave for his bachelor party. They were going to stay in the inn across the street.

"Where exactly are you guys going?" I asked him once we arrived in the guest room.

He shrugged. "Christian just said it would be phenomenal."

I smirked. "Are you guys gonna have a hens night or something?"

He shook his head. "No, but are you?"

Hm, I had to rethink that idea.

"Goodbye, Roza." He said.

I wounded my arms around his neck. "See you at the altar."

He craned his neck so his lips were placed firmly on mine.

Just then, I heard the door spring open.

I jumped out of Dimitri's grasp and glared at whoever had interrupted us.

"Can't we have some privacy?!" I hissed at Christian.

He put his hands up in offense. "Sorry. But we're going to be late."

I gave him my death-glare and he backed up.

"He's right Rose." Dimitri said form behind me.

I pouted then sighed.

"Fine." I grumbled.

Dimitri kissed me one more time, than left the room.

Christian grinned sloppily at me, than followed after Dimitri.

Lissa. Mia and Aleyna came in a minute later, holding a hanger covered with one of those blue covers.

"What's that?" I asked.

She smiled. "Your bridal shower dress. Duh."

"Lissa! You bough me another dress! I can't believe you!"

She smirked. "Just get dressed so we can go."

I reached out to take the hanger from her hand.

"Where are we going?"

"Surprise." Mia said.

I rolled my eyes then went inside the inside the bathroom, while they all went to change into their dresses.

I wonder what dress they put CC in, I thought as I pulled down the zipper.

It was my style, of course. The dress was a deep turquoise with a high hem and ended just above my knees. It was a halter dress, except there was a strap made of the same color of the entire dress, shaped like roses. (pic. on profile)

I put my hair down which fell into loose curls way below my shoulders.

"Are you ready?!" Lissa yelled from inside the room.

"Yeah!" I shouted back.

I opened the door and stepped outside.

Lissa looked really pretty in her light, canary yellow dress. It was a halter with strap that tightened at the waist. It finished with the tips folding inward. (pic. on profile)

Mia was wearing a sea blue dress with two straps and a ruffled hem held by a ribbon. It folded elegantly from the waist down. (pic. on profile)

Aleyna looked really…Adrian's taste. She was extremely pretty with a plain, majestic purple halter dress that dibbed on the top and matched her eyes; which were filled with smokey eyeliner.

CC was sitting on the bed, giggling like she was excited about something. She was wearing a light pink silk with yellow and blue bead ruffled on the hem. (pic. on profile)

"Rose! You look hot!" Lissa said.

I laughed then picked up CC. "You're not so bad yourself."

Aleyna looked up at the clock. "We're gonna be late!"

I grinned then headed out the door.

Olena, Karolina, Sonya, Zoya, and Sophee were going to meet us wherever we were going. Viktoria was coming with us. And Paul…Paul was with his Uncle Dimka.

"You look great!" I said to Viktoria once we were all piled up into a cab.

"Thanks. You too." She said.

She really did look good in her new black dress that had a lacy pattern at the end. (pic. on profile)

We drove for a little bit, until we parked next to a club. A club? Okay.

"A club?" I asked Lissa.

She shrugged then helped me out of the car.

CC was staring at the colorful glows of the signs posted on the walls.

Aleyna opened the front door for me, revealing about a hundred people.

"Surprise!" they all shouted.

I grinned. Almost everyone I knew (except for the guys) were here.

"Miss me?" said a familiar voice from behind.

I swirled around and found Sydney perched upon the doorway, smirking.

I ran up to her and pulled her into a hug.

"Sydney! What are you doing here?"

She grinned. "You're acting as if you don't want me here."

I laughed then pulled away.

"This is Cirena." I told her.

She smiled down at her. "Aw! You're so adorable. Maybe even more adorable then your mother."

I smacked her playfully then went back to Lissa.

"Liss, thanks so much!"

"It's nothing really. Sorry, we couldn't have a hens night because your mom's here too."

I looked around the room and found my mother's eyes on me.

"Wish me luck." I muttered to Lissa as I walked up to my mom.

"Hi Rose." She said uncomfortably.

"Uh, hi mom. Enjoying the party?" I asked, balancing CC in my arms.

She nodded. "Why don't you let me hold Cirena while you go have fun."

I hesitated then gave CC to her.

"Thanks for coming." I said before heading back to Lissa.

Well that was a nice conversation.

Then the night went on like that until I grew tired.

Lissa got on a chair and I was curious on what she was going to do.

"Excuse me! Can I get everybody's attention!"

Everyone stopped talking then looked up at Lissa.

She pulled me by the arm then grabbed my glass of wine from my hand. I didn't actually drink it, I only held it to fit in with everyone who did.

"Now that I have everybody's attention, I want to congratulate Rose for her engagement to Dimitri Belikov. We all love her for the badass she is, and all the memories we've shared with her. A toast to Rose!"

She held up my glass high in the air, followed by everyone else in the room.

I looked around at all the people. They were my family. The people who cared for me.

Once people started to leave, I took CC from my mom. "Thanks so much, mom. See you in a couple of days."

She nodded then kissed my cheek. "Good luck."

I find it kinda sad that she can't see Dimitri for another three days. :'(

But just wait one more chapter then they will get married. :D Thanks for reading and review!!!
