MY POV...
Over the next few days, the atmosphere was a little tense...Rose was doing her best to stay away from Adrain, As it seemed like Dimitri was ok for the moment...
However, that was only his outward appearance... What he failed to remeber was that Rose could feel his emotions as well as his thoughts...
But she made sure to assure him of her loyalty and love for him...which in turn,.. resulted in even more intense love making, between the both of them...Not that either one of them were complaining...
It was finally the day they where leaving for Bia.., The wedding was in two days...and they would be staying in one of Dimitri's many houses...which were more like mansions...
Lissa was meeting them there along with Abe..and the team...Alberta was coming as well... As for Janine...she had been dead set against coming till the last moment...
Lissa told Rose that Abe had threaten her mother profusely saying, that if she so much as made one comment out of line, or upset rose in any way...he would drain her dry dispite the fact he was still in love with her...He also said that he would turn her in to a vampire and keep her as his personal slave...
Rose was shocked at first but laughed at the irony of it all... As for Dimitri he seemed to be extremely happier each day as the wedding date approached...
As they boarded Dimitri's private plane, He grabbed hold of her hand and lead her to a private room at the back of the plane...
Inside was a small bedroom, but was big enough to hold a small sofa, along with a queen size bed, with an attached bathroom off to the side...
he layed her on the bed and kissed her lips soflty.. with such tenderness... her heart soared with love and happiness...As he smiled down at her...
He could feel her emotions, through the bond...and was overcome with the enormity of his desire for her... He layed down beside her holding her close to him...Her head on his chest..
He couldn't wait to make her his wife...To give her, his last name...He thought back to when he found her on the small balcony, sitting and watching the sunset...
He couldn't help but wish he was able to give her a child..or children... He would do anything..in his power if it was possible... if only...
However, he had been hiding the fact that since she had been changed into what she was now...that each time he drank from her, He would feel like something in him was changing..
He wasn't sure what it was, but he was able to control some of the same powers she seemed to have...it wasn't as strong as her's..he could only seem to hold onto each element for only a short amount of time... When it first happened he was angry...his emotions were all over the place...it was the night Rose and Pavel had threaten Adrain..
He was lying in bed as Rose was on top of him...it wasn't that he was angry with her persay, but as she was giving her self to him...He couldn't help but picture Adrian's hands on her...it was then that he realized as she was giving her self to him that some of the things in the room were levitateing... At first he thought rose was doing it, but as he opened himself to her feelings...she was consummed with making sure that he was made assure she belonged to him..and him only..
Thankfully Rose had not noticed, as he quickly set everything back down again...But didn't give it to much thought as he was consumed with the pleasure she was giving him... that night had been an real eye opener for him...he knew for sure with out a dout, that she would never willingly give her self to anyone but him..
That was the only reason, he didn't tear Adrian apart...as well as the fact that Pavel was threatening Adrain, each time rose was out of earshot...
Pavel taunted Adrain by saying He would hold Adrian down and let the russian torture him...by cutting his manhood to pieces...and wait for to heal to repeat the process...
Adrian would turn pale and a little green looking as he would quickly leave the room...
But now that they were out of Adrian's home, Dimitri knew he needed to tell Rose about the new things that were happening with him...
and now was as good a time as any...
DPOV...
I placed a kiss on Roza's head and cleared my throat... I was trying to figure out a way to tell her what I had been noticeing about me...
She turned her face up to look at me, and said, " Just say it, my love.."
She always knew ...it always amazed me how...two people could be so in tune with one another, as the both of us..
"Roza, I need to tell you something...but I don't want to worry you..." I said pausing waiting for her reaction...
Her face was serious for a moment then she said, " What ever it is, we can face it together.." as she placed her hand on my cheek...
I closed my eyes for a moment, then opened them and looked right into her eyes... I could feel her sending me calming feelings through the bond...
" Roza, since I have been drinking from you, I have been feeling different...not in a bad way...but well... I noticed that I can control some of the powers you do..
it's not as strong, and I can only hold it for a small amount of time..." I said all in one sentence as the words rushed out of my mouth...
She stayed quiet for a while as she searched my face... I didn't want her to think I was purposely trying to pull her powers into me for my own benifit...
It was said, that whoever drank from her would be able to have the same powers...but also she would have to will it to them...so to speak...
I could feel desperation creep into me , I only hope she realized I had no knowledge before hand that this was happenning, and that I would never use her for this purpose...
The truth was I love her...and only wanted to be with her...
I opened my mouth to speak, but she placed a finger on my lips..." My love...why were you afraid...to tell me... I know you would never do anything to harm me or hurt me...
As I said before... I belong to you... and you belong to me...What's mine is yours... and if that means you want the powers I have... well then there yours. as well..."
She finished then kissed my lips... She never stopped amazing me each day...
"I love you Roza, so much." I said against her lips... " As I love you..." she said in a whisper...
I placed my hands on her face as the kissed turned more passinate... We both knew we couldn't get carried away as the others on the plane could hear us...but It was not easy...
We kissed for a moment longer before she pulled back and I groaned in frustration...She laughed and said, " Oh...don't worry my love...you can have your way with me...
when we arrive in Bia..." as her eyes twinkled in mischief...
My pulse quicken at the thought...as I growled playfully at her... We teased each other for a few more moments before she looked at me and said, " Show me.."
"Show you what" I asked...not sure what she ment...
" Show me what you can do with my powers... I want to see... this could be really good when the times comes.." she said in a serious voice...
I couldn't argue with her...about that...this would be really good, if could control it.. So I nodded my head and looked over at the night stand... A lamp was sitting on top of it..
I consenitrated on trying to move the lamp, but only managed to slide it an inch, before I lost control of it...
" Hmmm... we will have to practice, when we get to Bia... I want you to drink from me again before we try...and see what happens..." she finished with excitement in her eyes..
I searched her eyes..."Roza. I ..." she shushed me by kissing my lips again...
We layed in each others arms talking, and just enjoying one another till it was time to land...
As we stepped off a black suv...pulled up...Stan and Eddie stepped out and opened the doors for us...shortly after we arrived at my home...
I looked at Roza to see what was wrong, as she had stopped walking...she was looking at the house, her eyes gleaming with an unknown sparkle..
" Roza" I asked...starting to get a little worried that maybe she didn't like the house..
" Nothing... its ...just... so beautiful.." she said a little dazed... I smiled and said, " Yes , it is...but not as beautiful as you.."
She snorted...and said..." You are so cheesy sometimes comrade... I just can't believe this is your house is all..." she smiled a loving smile at me...
" This house is yours to.. Roza... what's mine is yours.." the truth was, it really was hers... I had drawn up all the paper work of all my entire estate...stating that in the event of my death that everything I owned as well as my line was hers.. Also her name was already added to everything I owned... I had planned on telling her sooner but hadn't had the chance..
" Ya, right... I mean..." I stopped her from saying anything futher as I placed one finger over her lips and said, " Roza.. what I said is true.. I have already added your name to all my affairs, houses..cars , accounts...as well as my second in command of my line.. If something should happen to me..you will take over...all that I own and claim..."
I watched her eyes become glassy..with unshed tears...she was speechless...I had to laugh...as I thought and said," Have I rendered the great Rose Hathaway speechless"
She just keep starring at me dumb founded unable to form a sentence...She just keep mumbling...
I grabbed her hand and lead her into the house... As I opened the door we were attacked by a mass of blonde hair ...Lissa threw herself at Roza and was screaming and jumping up and down.
I couldn't help but smile as Lissa dragged Roza off somewhere in the house... With yeva following close behind..
Seconds latter I heard Roza scream.. I jumped up and was ready to run up the stairs to see if she was ok, but then I heard her say..." Oh my God, its so beatuiful.."
Good God, can a dead heart have a heart attack...that woman was gonna kill me...As the adrenilin coursed through my body as I tryed to calm down..
Eddie, Stan and Pavel all just chuckled as they looked at my face... Eddie slapped my back and said, " Come on man...you need to relax..and we have just the thing to help you with that... A bacherlor party " he smiled at me and we all laughed out right as Roza hollered down saying, " There better not be any other women there...
or else I will nail all your balls to the walls.."
Pavel was the only one that was not laughing as he cupped himself and had a painful expression on his face...
We laughed harder as we looked at Pavel...
" What... you wouldn't be laughing if she smashed your balls before...Man that shit hurts worse than when she stabbed me...just to prove a point to the team.."
I quickly remembered Pavel's face when roza's foot was smashing his balls when we met Tasha at the restuarant.. as well as the tourcher she put me through as well...the last time she felt threaten by another woman, who came around me...and stopped smiling instantly..
"There will be no other women at this party...So whatever you got planned cancel it ..." I said hiding the fear as I thought of what she would do to me...
Pavel just nodded his head and said, " Ya I'm on the same page as him... No women... I have grown attached to my balls and plan to keep them.."
Stan and Eddie sobbered up quickly as they took in are apprearance...Stan pulled out his phone and made a call.. " Ya, cancel the women, don't asked why...just do it.."
Then shut his phone and slipped it back into his pocket...
As a voice called out from upstairs..." Oh Stan... Stan dear.. can you come up here for a moment please.." called roza in a sweet voice...
His eyes widen, as he pleaded with me to save him... We all just backed away , against the wall and motioned him to hurry, before she came down stairs...
" Oh there you are...Stan... I would like your help for a moment ...Oh and have fun sweet heart...but not to much my love" called Roza from the bottum of the stairs, were she was standing... with a smile that chilled me to the bone... I tryed smileing back at her but, I don't think it came out right as she looked at me in confusement..
I could practically hear Pavel swallow the lump in his throat...as he edged slowly out of the room...
" Oh and pavel..." called out Roza... Pavel just froze...not moving a muscle... he didn't turn around...but I was assuming, it was because his face was scrunched up in fear..
but he said, " Ya.." roza smiled again and said, " Do me a favor would you... keep an eye on Dimitri for me...just well.. with the coming war and all.."
She trailed off at the end as Pavel quickly replyed, " Ya sure.. ah... no problem..." and practically ran out of the room... mean while, I could tell that Stan was loosing color in his face as he got closer to were Roza was standing...
Eddie was silent the whole time not making a sound . It was like he was hopeing that if he was silent, he would be invisible... I couldn't blame him..
They all knew if she wanted to nail them ..she would and could...and I wouldn't dare say a word..
RPOV...
The next two days past quickly. I was a complete reck with emotions. I was happy, scare, and total head over heals in love.
Lissa and Yeva tryed everything to calm me down. I could not wait to meet Dimitri at the altar. I however was terrified. The fact that this war was coming so close was playing havoc with my emotions. With my past track record, I was waiting to turn the corner and destructon strike.
I truly wanted this day to be perfect. .. I went to bed that night after Lissa and Pavel had to drag Dimitri away from me.
He didn't go willingly. But in the end, Lissa warned that she would make me late for my own wedding if we didn't part.
So I reluctantly kissed his lips once more as we clung to each other , a little longer.. Before he was shoved out the door. Growling no less.
So here I am sitting in bed, trying to calm my nerves when lissa burst threw the doors.
" Rosie, get up...now .. please... listen." She paused and took a deep breathe. I had a feeling whatever she was about to tell me was gonna upset me.
I took a cleansing breathe and looked into her eyes.
" Well, our mom is here. She wants to speak with you." oh God. I was not in the mood to be dragged into the mudd by my mother.
I was about to open my mouth to tell her, that I had no intension of speaking with her today, But Lissa stopped me. She knew what I was gonna say.
" Rosie, wait. Before you say anything. Give her a chance. Besides. She promised not to upset you today. I think she finally came to terms with everything."
I looked at her like she lost her mind. We are talking about Janine Hathaway. right. " Please Rosie. I will be just right outside the door. If she says One word out of line I will Have Pavel drag her out by her hair... Promise."
I groaned out load, But the fact that she promised to have her pulled out by Pavel, well that was something, I would love to see. And of course Pavel would do it. right.
" Of course I would, Rosalina. No one will upset you today. I promise." replyed pavel through the bond.
I closed my eyes and nodded my head. I felt Lissa kiss my cheek, then leave the room.
Some time later I saw my mother enter the room. I stayed silent. As I waited for her to speak.
She searched my face. Then she released a huge breathe of air. " Calm down Rose. I'm not gonna holler on you." I was in shock, but still remained quiet, as I waited for her to say more.
" Rose, if this is want you want. If he makes you that happy, then. Who am I to interfer. Despite my actions, I do love you Rose.I also wants whats best for you." she said with a small smile.
I was truly shocked .. I leaped out of the bed and into her arms.I pulled her close to me and held her so tight. " Thank you ma...Thank you so much.. I love you to."
I said as tears slid down my face. She hugged me close for a few moments more, then pushed me away. " OK, enough with the tears. Its time to get you ready." she said, as she wiped away her own tears.
Lissa and Yeva entered the room as well. They walked up to me and Yeva said, " It's time to go." I didn't have a chance to ask where we were going because they blindfolded me and gaged me.
An hour later I found myself sitting in a room with only one window. I looked out and realized I was on the top floor of a very large building. My mother and Lissa was the only ones in the room with me.
" What's going on?" I asked, confused.
" Well, Dimitri has to pass the test in order to claim you, before he can marry you" stated Lissa with a smile.
I laughed as I remebered Dimitri telling me about the russian wedding traditions ..
Just then I could here Eddie shout out, He made it past the first test.
DPOV...
As I entered the building, were Roza was being keep, I knew I would have to face many different test in order to claim, my soon to be bride.
Eddie smiled as he stood in front of me.
" Ah, Dimka... What can I do for you today? " he asked in serious tone.
" I'd like to pass, to claim my bride." I said just as serious.
" You must answer me one thing first" he said.
" Ask, and I will give you the answer." I spoke.
" Are you prepared, to never look or covet another woman again, only keeping true to Rose?" he asked with a smirk.
" Yes, with out a dout." I said truthfully. He searched my face and nodded his head.
" You have answered truthfully, you may pass." he said smileing. I hurriedly climbed a flight of stairs. As I heard Eddie shout, " He made it past the first test."
I came up to Alberta. Her face never faltered once. " Would you give your life for her, and if so...you will take this dagger and pierce your hand, as a sign of your solemn vow,
to sacrifice your self for her..if need be." she spoke while holding a silver dagger.
I reached for the daggered, as I sliced my hand I spoke the vow. " I Dimitri Belikov, solemnly vow, to sacrifice my life, for Roza. Always to put her safty before mine."
I said meaning everyword... Alberta smiled a huge smile and said, " Take care of her Dimitri.. She has become like a daughter to me."
" I will, always.." I replied.
After many questions and test as well as vows, I finally reached the last one. Only to be faced with Janine. Don't kill her.. I chanted to myself .. over and over..
This is Roza's mother... I reminded myself.
Janine's face was void of emotions except her eyes burned with what looked like hatred.
" I only have one thing to say and one question to ask." she said very seriously.
" First of all, If you ever hurt my daughter, I will have you hunt down and killed. Even if I have to become an evil vampire in the process. Despite my opinions, or what you might think. I love my Daughter very much." She stopped for a moment and took a deep breathe. I actually found a bit of respect for Janine. She would do anything for Roza.
" I have to ask. Dimitri, Do you truly love my Daughter, with all your heart?"
I was a little shocked, this was the first time she had ever called me by my name, and not some foul word.
I smiled brightly and said, " Janine, I love Roza, with all that I am... There is nothing I would not do for her. I love her more than my own life." I spoke with all the passion and love I felt within me.
Janine only nodded, then she gave me a small smile. " You can call me Janine or Ma... thats it... You call me anything else, I will slice your balls off. "
I chuckled, yep she was really Roza's mother. I leaned forward and kissed her cheek. " Thank you Janine. Ma. " It ment alot to me that she finally came around.
If not for my sake but for roza.
Janine reached up and placed a blindfold around my eyes. Not allowing me to see the bride before the wedding. When she was done she opened the door. I could smell
Roza's scent, as it captivated me. I wanted to run to her, and hold her in my arms, However I could not see her.
I heard almost silent footsteps come toward me. "Roza" I said. her name like a prayer on my lips. I felt her press her soft lips to my cheek.
" I will meet you at the altar, my love " she spoke, in her angelic voice. I smiled brightly. " I can't wait, to make you my wife. I love you, Roza" I said softly.
I felt her hands reach up and pull me down toward her. Her lips met mine in a soft, loving kiss. She moaned softly in my mouth as our tongues carressed against each others.
Lissa cleared her throat, as I felt Roza chuckle.
" OK, Ok... enough you two. It times to leave. Dimitri, Rose will meet you at the altar. " she said as I was lead out of the room.
MY POV...
Dimitri and Rose decided to marry in the local cathedral there in Bia. The cathedral itself, was huge in its grand design. It's old world feel only set the mood, of a time long before
the world became a complicated place. Beautiful Statues of angels adourned with golden robes, sat along the walls at different intervals. The high ceilings were hand painted
with cherubs and clouds, as if looking down from heaven it self. The floor was made of mosaic tiles, with two large angels facing each other holding golden trumpets,
right in front of the altar. Huge crystal and golden chandilers hung throught out the cathedral. It was something that one, could never forget. A spiritual and awe inspiring
expericene. The cathedral, started to fill, as family and friends began taking there seats. The soft music in the background, set the mood...as Nora Jones sang
come away with me. It was the first song they ever danced to. Dimitri stood tall and proud as he waited for his bride to enter the cathedral. His dead heart had never felt
so alive, since he met Roza. But today, the heavy emotions weighted on him. He had never been more nervous in all his life. He had never loved someone so much...
He could barley keep the smile off his face. And as hard as he tried to seem calm, he radiated a nervous and excited energy... Just as the doors to the cathedral opened
and in stepped the love of his life. The music changed as the crowd stood in honor of the bride. The tradional wagner's march began.
His breathe caught in his throat, as his mouth gaped open in ashtonishment, as the beauty known as Roza made her way down
the aisle. The crowd speechless, as mouths all around gasped at Dimitri's beloved.
RPOV...
" Are you happy, Rose? " asked my father. I smiled, as I fought the emotional tears that threaten to spill. I will not ruin my make-up.. Lissa will kill me.. I thought to my self.
" Yes, baba.. I'm very happy."
" Good, that exactly what I needed to hear. I love you kiz. " he said as he squeezed my hand.
Just before we entered the cathedral a voice spoke. " May I wish my little one blessings before you marry ?"
I turned and smiled brightly just as my grandfather, Nathanial embraced me lovingly. " You are so beautiful... Little one. I love you so much, I wish you all the happiness the world has to offer." he spoke with tear filled eyes as he kissed my cheek. " Now go before you make him die of nervousness. Your Dimitri can barely contain himself"
he joked .. I laughed just as nervous ... " I will meet you inside" he said before he turned and walked into the church.
As the doors opened, I only registered the music changed, and the crowd stood, Right before I made eye contact with Dimitri.
His tall figure, was dressed in a tuxcedo. His hair hanging loose, just the way I loved. He took my breathe away. I hardly realized we had reached the front, until the priest
spoke.
" Who gives this woman, to this man?"
" Her mother and I do " replied My father. He then kissed my cheek and Placed my hand in Dimitri's.
Dearly Beloved, We are gathered hear to today, To join this man, and this woman in matrimony. If any one here can show just cause,
why they should not marry. speak now,
The preist waited a moment then spoke again.
Marriage is not to be taken lightly. It is a symbol, of your undieng love for one another. At this time Dimitri and Rose have prepared their own vows.
Dimitri, please proceed.
He turned to me, his eyes looking into mine, with such devotion.
" Roza, from the moment I first saw you, I knew you were the one with whom I wanted to share my life. I knew right then, I wanted to make you my wife.
Your beauty, heart, and mind inspire me, to be a better man.
I will forever cherish each and every moment we share. I promise to love you for eternity, respecting you, honoring you,
being faithful to you, and sharing my life with you. This is my solemn vow."
I didn't realize that tears were streaming down my face, Dimitri kissed each one.
" Rose you may proceed with your vows."
I cleared my throat and spoke with all the love and passion I felt for him, burning within me.
" Dimitri, today I take you to be my husband. Together we will create a home, becoming a part of one another.
I vow to love you without reservation, comfort you in times of distress. Encourage you to achieve all your goals.
Laugh with you, and cry with you. Grow with you in mind and spirit.
Always to be open and honest with you. To be faithful only unto you.
To Cherish you all the days of our lives. I love you."
He smiled such a beautiful smile as we turned to face the preist.
" The vows spoken today, are a sign of your love and devotion to one another. Do you Dimitri Belikov, Take this woman, as your wife?"
" I, Do " He spoke load and clear. His eyes brimming with unshed tears of joy, as he placed the wedding band on my finger.
" Do you, Rosemarie Hathaway, Take this man, as your husband ? "
I smiled brightly and said, " I Do, with all my heart." as a few tears spilled down my face.
" By the Power Invested in me, By God, I present Mr...and Mrs. Belikov. You may kiss your bride."
Dimitri Lifted my veil, One of his hands pulled me closer to him. He searched my eyes, smileing with such joy, His other hand reached my face tenderly as his lips
'deliciously' decended upon mine. The kiss was fillled with such passion, love, and devotion.
My arms reached around his neck pulling him closer to me. Everything faded away. It was only Dimitri and I, as he deepen the kiss.
I vaguly heard clapping and shouts, along with a few whistles.
I didn't realize that he had lifted me off the ground, just as I pulled back from the kiss.
The cathedral was filled with clapping and well wishers.
" I love you,my husband" I said softly.
He smiled so huge, as his eyes shined with pride and so much love. I could tell he loved that fact that I called him my husband.
" As, I love you. My beautiful wife.." my heart was pounding out of my chest ,as his heartfelt words stirred my longing for him.
We turned toward the crowd as we started toward the exit, as husband and wife. We were greeted with so many hugs and kisses.
We rushed toward the waiting car, to be carried to our reception... As we both couldn't wait for the honeymoon to start.
