Chapter 40 CHAPTER 40
“Gather everything, I need to work from Raven's room." I asked. Then got my pajama bottoms that I never wear, slippers towel and clean shirts. I ran back to Ravens room. I changed into my pajama bottoms and clean T-shirt.
"Where are you going to sleep?" Mother asked.
"Beside my mate Mother, and don't even think I would." I said.
"How is she going to feel about that when she wakes up?" She asked.
"You heard Michael, and I'm sure she will have another nightmare now. It is fir the best." I told her. Lance came in with my laptop and some files. I went over and closed the heavy drapes.
"Lance go see if you can find out anything on that pack that was attacked. I'm going to see what I can find out about this Rouge. Find something for those four to do." I asked Lance. He nodded and left.
"Come on Kendra I have work to do and you still need to go shopping." Mother said.
"Kendra take Vallen with you, I don't want you out alone with this guy hanging around." I told her. She nodded.
"I will have one Kale bring you lunch. You can let them know if you need one or two dinners brought up. Kendra said.
"Thank you, Kendra have them send up two carafes of coffee soon please." I asked.
"I will, let me know when she wakes up." I nodded to her. She was out of the room less then five minutes when she linked me, I will bring up the coffee I forgot your black card on my dresser. But I wanted to know if you want me to buy her something special and get her a big bouquet of flowers with a card apologizing.
"Yes, thank you Kendra, don't go overboard with the gift like I did with the art supplies."
"That is why I'm shopping and not you." Kendra said. I laughed and closed the link. Not soon after Raven started having a nightmare. I climbed onto the bed and held her and told her she safe she was home nothing could hurt her. She opened her eyes slightly, then closed them cuddling into me so that I was not able to move. I wrapped my arms around her and had a nap until long after dinner.
RAVEN'S POV
"Raven, Raven! Can you hear me Raven?"
"Spirit?"
"Raven you need to wake up; we have to deal with this." Spirit said.
"No, I don't want to go there." I told her.
"Raven this is not who you are. You are strong and brave. You need to wake up, and we need to deal with this." Spirit encouraged.
"I'm scared of him, look what he did to Imara and Talon. I can not see how I use my abilities with out my eyes?" I questioned her.
"Raven I thought you would have realized by now the power is not in your eyes but in your mind child." Spirit told me.
"I don't understand, if I can not see it how I can defend against it?" I asked.
"How do you draw Raven?" Spirit asked.
"The pencil draws not me." I tell her getting annoyed.
"No, Raven. You mind draws what it sees. There is no magic pencil. It is the power of your mind." Spirit explained.
"Will Titan give me to him to save the pack? Spirit." I ask.
"No, Raven. Our mate will not sacrifice us to save the pack he has waited to long for you. But you must embrace your blindness. Empower yourself with your other senses." Spirit encouraged me.
"Wait, what are you talking about. I have no mate I rejected him." I told her.
"Yes, you had to reject Hawkins, he was not your true mate. You are with your true mate, the one who will make you stronger by you mate bond." She said smiling. I could feel her smile. What else could I see from feeling, touching? I wondered.
"Raven, wake up, your mate is right in front of you. Feel the pull of the true mate bond. His wolf Thunder thinks you should wake up to so we can be all together." Spirit said, then her voice faded away. I need to wake up. I reached out in my mind taking control. I was laying on the bed, but I was not alone. Why was someone in the bed with me?
"Mate Raven," Spirit whispered to calm me.
"Breath deep Raven let his scent relax you." She said softly.
I reached up with my hand and found his face. Slowly moving my fingers touching his hair, ears, nose, cheeks, mouth. The mouth was smiling. I pulled my hands away. A hand gently took one of mine and kissed the palm before putting it back on his face. I swallowed the lump in my throat.
"You are my mate?" I asked.
"Yes, Raven. I'm your mate." Titan said.
"Titan?" I asked even though I knew it was him.
"Yes, love. I'm glad you are away, I'm sorry for sending you into shock." He whispered softly close to my ear.
"How long?" I asked.
"Just today, are you hungry?" Titan asked.
"Yes, but did you know I was your mate?" I asked.
"I had a pretty good idea, but I need to know your name to know for sure." He said.
"I don't understand." I told him.
"The necklace has your name on it." He said. He picked up the heart necklace from my chest. I didn't know I was wearing it. He took my hand and let me feel the engagement on the back. It was Raven. I sat up suddenly my books, where are my books?" I asked. I had to have them.
"I will get them love hold on." Titan said get up of the bed. I realized he slept on top of the covers. He handed me my books and sat down on the bed.
"Spirit eyes please, the picture of the man I have been drawing." I turned the pages of the book one by one.
"Stop," Spirit told me yawning.
I reached for Titan. He laughed and came closer. I touched his face again remembering the strokes of the pencil in my mind. I took my hands away and held up the book.
"This is you?" I asked.
"Yes, my love you have been drawing me for years." Titan told me. I sat shocked why had I not known. I threw my arm around him and kissed him. The door opened and someone cleared their throat.
"It is good to see you both awake." Lance said. I hid my face in Titan chest. Titan kissed my forehead and chuckled as he got up off the bed.
"I hope you brought food and coffee with you, old friend. Raven is starved." Titan told Lance.
"Actually yes I did. Raven are you ok to talk about this Rouge King now?" Lance asked.
I nodded my head. I was not going to let him scare me.
