Chapter 42 CHAPTER 42
Let her know when she is done that I will have tea with her tomorrow.
Let me know if you need help with this Rouge King." She kissed my forehead and turned to leave saying goodnight to Lance as she left. I ran my hands threw my hair. I was a bit confused.
"What did you find out Lance?" I asked.
"Nothing yet, our allies have our back. But no one has any idea who would have said anything or have any affiliation with the Rouge King. I will do more digging in the morning. I'm off to bed." Lance said.
Raven had stopped singing and had finished the braid in her hair, she was just sitting on the bed now not doing anything. I got up and went over to her.
"Are you ok love?" I asked.
"Tired, but I'm ok." She told me. I sat down beside her taking her hand in mine.
"Mother was here, she asked me to tell you she would have tea with you tomorrow." I told her. She smiled.
"That will be nice. Can I go to sleep now please Titan?" She asked.
"Lets get you into bed." When she was in bed I laid down beside her.
"What are you doing?" she asked shocked.
"I'm laying with my mate." I answered innocently.
"Oh, no! You are not sleeping in the same bed as me. We have not even had our mating ceremony. You want to stay in this room sleep on the couch." She yelled at me. I could not help myself I started to laugh.
"Raven we Just spent 7 hours sleeping in the same bed. No come here." I told her.
"Get. Out. Of. My. Bed." She said each word slowly with authority in her tone.
"Raven, love." I said trying to calm her."
"I will count to three. If you are not of this bed, you will have only yourself to blame for what happens to you!" She growled at me.
I really did not think she could do anything to hurt me, so I sat there smiling at her.
"ONE".
I chuckled
"TWO"
"Raven come on."
"THREE!" I saw her eyes turn a deep purple, then I was thrown across the room. Raven laid down and turned her back to me.
"What the hell was that?” I asked. But she ignored me. I rubbed my head where it hit the wall. Did she actually just throw me across the room, with out so much as touching me. I went and sat on the couch smiling. She must be feeling better, this was the first time I saw her aggressive, and powerful. I smiled as I laid down on the couch pulling the blanket I had put there in case Raven had got cold and fell asleep smiling.
RAVEN'S POV
I woke up in the morning the sun was shining through the window, it felt so warm for this time of year. I could hear Titan sleeping on the couch. I quietly threw back the cover and swung my legs over just missing my slippers. I found them with my feet and made my way to the bathroom. After being cooped up in this room for almost a month it was easy to move around. After doing my business I washed my hands and brushed my teeth. I decided I was not going to stay cooped up another minute longer. I made my way to the bedroom door. When I reached it I listened carefully. Titan was still sleeping. I opened the door and slipped out of the room closing the door quietly behind me. Now logically I thought if i walked down the center of the hall I would not bump into anything. I was wrong. Who puts a large planter in the middle of the hall away. I finally made it to the elevator and pushed the button. Then waited. I heard it moving but never came to the floor I was on. After three tries it finally came. I got in. Found the panel with the buttons and pushed the bottom one. The elevator did not move. I tried again and it still did not move. Maybe it went somewhere on the lower buttons that you needed a key card. Suddenly the door closed. Someone had called the elevator to a different floor. I back myself against the back wall of the elevator and waited. It went down and down. Had I hit a button where it was going. I was a bit nervous about where I was going to end up. The elevator stopped and the doors open. The smell was putrid. It was a mixture of human waste, and blood. I covered my face. Trying not to vomit. I heard someone running to the elevator. I froze where I stood. Two men walked onto the elevator.
"Raven, how did you get down here?" The man questioned.
"Who is there?" I asked.
"You're ok, it is Valen and kale. Titan bodyguards. Where are you trying to go?" Vallen asked.
"To get coffee and sit in the garden." I told him.
"I will take her Kale; I will assume Titan is asleep still." He said. I nodded.
"Kale go wake up Alpha I will take Raven to get coffee and out to the garden. We went three floor up and Valen offered me his arm. I took it and we exited the elevator. We walked down a hallway into a larger room there were a lot of people talking laughing I assumed getting breakfast.
"Do you want something to eat with your coffee, Raven?" He asked.
"I don't know maybe this was a mistake." I said.
"We are here now, lets get you something to eat and coffee." He said. We went further into the room and it went dead silent. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me. I moved closer to Valen.
"Nothing to see here everyone back to what you were doing." he commented. The room was busy again, but I could still feel eyes on me.
Raven, I will be two minutes you hold onto this chair. Then I will take you to the garden." Valen said. I put my hands on the chair as I felt him leave my side. Suddenly I could smell that same perfume that I smelt in my hospital room. Then I could feel her standing close to me. What was she going to do.
"Raven do not move, wait for that Valen man to come back." Spirit told me. I could feel the fear crawling into me, as hard as I tried I could not push it down.
"So where have you been hiding rouge?" The woman asked. I ignored her. This made her angry.
"I was talking to you, rouge. Where did you just come from?" She demanded.
"Upstairs." I answered.
"Where Upstairs, rouge?" She snarled.
The room had started to get quiet again.
"I asked you a question, answer me?" She yelled.
"It is none of your business." I told her.
"Wrong answer, rouge."
