Chapter 29 CHAPTER 29
Putting everything into a bag I found in one of the rooms I shifted picked up the bag and ran as fast as my wolf could. I would stop later and try and figure out where I was. But right now, I was running for my life. I stopped and climbed up into a tree after shifting back and putting on the clothes. After a couple hours rest I woke up and that is when it hit me they let me go to lead them to my seventeen-year niece that did not exists. I was going to have to start leaving them false trails. I put the clothes back in the bag and doubled back twice before heading south.
RAVEN'S POV
I could hear someone calling my name but who. I tried to open my eye but they would not open. I threw my hands to my face. My eyes were swollen.
"Raven, “I sighed with relief it was Spirit.
"Spirit where am I?" You made it Raven. You are in the pack hospital. We came all this way and endured that beating, I could only try and heal you. We crossed the boarder to this pack, and they threw us in the dungeon for two days to die. Then some man came and brought us here to the hospital. I don't remember it all. But we are safe." Spirit said so fast I could barely understand her. I was still tired and fell back to sleep. I found out later it was a couple of day after the first time I woke up. That I heard a man and woman talking.
"Is she getting better, son?" The woman asked.
"Yes slowly with the doctor help and her wolf she is much better. But Michael said it will still be a while before she can open her eyes." The man said. His voice was full of concern. He spoke with a softness I had never heard in a man’s voice.
"You are still going to move her to the pack house, Titan?" The woman asked.
"Yes, Mother do you object?" The man asked.
"No, son. I know you want to sit with her but remember you have Lances swearing in as you Beta officially at 7 tonight." The woman said.
"Don't worry I will be there. I just need for her to wake up and tell me what happened to her." The man said.
"All in due time, my son. She is very beautiful. I will see you at the ceremony." The woman said and I heard walk away and go out a door. I moved my hand up to my eyes, but they were still swollen.
"You're awake," the man said excitedly. He ran to the door and yelled.
"Find Michael, she is awake," then I heard him walk towards me and sit down in what sounded like a plastic chair you would find in a waiting area of a hospital.
"How are you feeling child?" He asked me, touching my hand. It was like touching a fallen wire that were burning. I pulled away. Quickly. He was making me shiver.
"I'm sorry, I did not mean to frighten you. Your safe here." Titan told me.
"No, your ok, I just didn't expect....." I tried to finish.
"Shhh, I should have not touched you hand when you can not see. I apologize." He said with sincerity.
"When will my eye heal so I can see?" I asked.
"Our doctor will know more about that, I just sent the nurse for him." He told me.
"Where am I?" I asked afraid of the answer.
"You are home. We are all so happy you made it." He said I could feel the happiness in his voice.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Umm...." I could not remember his name.
"Just call me Titan." He told me.
"Mr. Titan, I'm sorry but I don't have a home not since I was eight years."
"You have been on your own since you were eight years?" He sounded horrified.
"I was taken from my home at eight years. Made to live as a servant until the Alpha wanted to give me to a smelly old male in his pack to breed. But my Caregiver ran with me and his other charge we were headed for a safe pack. But I was being called to go somewhere else, so I left them that is where I have been heading since I was sixteen." I told him.
"How old are you now?" He asked. "Almost twenty but I have no idea when my birthday is." I felt a little embarrassed about that.
"What is your name?"
"I'm rouge. I have no name." I did not know this man. He seamed genuine. But so had Imara. So now may name was just Rouge.
"I know that is not your real name, but I understand. Hopefully one day you will tell me." He said.
"Sir, I mean Titan, when I'm better I must finish my journey to where I'm being called. You are very nice and all, but something is calling to me. I need to finish my journey." I told him.
"Think about it, is it still calling you?" He asked me.
"I can not tell right now. May I ask where my things are I had two bags. I really need them please. I will send for them they are in my room don't worry I have not looked in them, and no one would dare touch anything in my room." I told her.
"Yes I would like my things very much. But why would no one dare touch.... Oh. I'm sorry you are Alpha Titan. I'm sorry, I did not address you properly Alpa Titan. I said. Why had he not corrected me, I thought.
"I will send for your thing but, you are to call me Just Titan. Do you understand?" He said gently.
"But it is disrespectful, not to call........" he cut me off.
"You will call me Titan, or your thing will stay in my room." He said. But I could tell he was not really angry.
"Ok, Al. ...Titan. thank you. He sent someone to get my bags and while I waited they brought me food.
"Alpha, she should eat slow, do you want me to help her." The nurse asked.
"No, continue with your duties Marg. I will help her." Titan said.
"I can do it," I told him."
"No, i will help you, you have beef stew and homemade bread with butter. I will touch your lip with the spoon then you can open ok?" He asked.
"Do I have a choice?" Questioned him back.
"No," he said and laughed. I sighed. He was very gentle I had not realized my mouth was cut and bruised. About ten minutes into him feeding me the stew he door opened and a man stared to laugh.
"I need a picture of the great Alpha Titan feeding the rouge girl." The man said. Making Titan miss my lip and spill the stew on me.
"Lance if you want to make it to me swearing you in as Beta tonight. You can just forget about it.
