Chapter 47 CHAPTER 47
TITAN'S POV
The Rouge King would be back in four days. My scouts could not find out where he was hiding. He had to be close just where. Lance and I had a meeting with my mother. I discovered a lot about her I did not know or had been to young to remember. Mother had said Raven was like her. This intrigued me but scared me at the same time. After the incident with Jessica and Kendra I started to wonder if Raven had done anything. But that was impossible Raven could not see and there was no evidence of a knife being stuck in the wall. I shook my head and got out if the shower. Tonight, I was taking Raven down to the formal dinning room to have dinner with the whole family. I put on black dress pants a white dress shirt. And grabbed my jacket. I even wore my nice dress shoes. It was not a fancy dinner, but I wanted to look nice for Raven. She could not see me, but her mind could. Thunder was restless he wanted to be with his mate. He wanted to take her and marker her. I had to keep telling him no he was going to scare her. Now he was sulking. I walked across the hall and knocked on Raven's door. Carry answered the door and moved aside so I could come into the room.
"She is almost ready Alpha " Carry said and went into the dressing closet. I looked around the room. To my surprise Raven had set up the easel and had a canvas on it. But it was covered with a cloth. I took a step towards it.
"You better not even think of touching that, Titan." Raven said coming out of the dressing closet.
"How?" I asked.
"Because you are nosey, that is how. Why do I have to go down to dinner?" She asked.
"Because you are a part of the family, it will be good for you to meet Fran and her and Lances children." I told her.
"How am I apart of your family exactly?" She asked being stubborn.
"You are my mate, that is how, are you ready to go?" I asked. She nodded and we went to the elevator. I let her use her keycard, so she got use to using it. As the elevator started going down Raven smiled but it was not a real smile.
"You know, I can just reject you and then you can find someone else to be your Luna, it is not like I have not done it before." She said. She was serious. I grabbed her arm and turned her to face me.
"What do you mean you have done it before?" I yelled. Raven realized she said something she had not meant to.
"Let go of my arm, your hurting me!." She said threw clenched teeth. Instead of letting her go I held her arm tighter.
"Who, Raven? When? Tell me now!" I yelled.
"It is none of your business." She screamed back at me.
"I'm your only mate Raven." I said growling.
"Whatever you say Titan, don't look at my books or anything I do stay away from me and let me go, or I swear." Raven said. The elevator arrived at the main floor I took her arm ready to take her to the dinning room. When the door opened my Mother and Valen stood there.
"Titan go to the dinning room now!" Mother said. I looked at Raven she was pissed. I look down at her arm it was already purple and black where I squeezed her arm. I walked a little way from the elevator. Mother gave me a look. I knew I was going to get yelled at.
"Valen, take Raven back upstairs put some cream and ice on those bruises dinner will be sent up shortly." When they had gone up in the elevator Mother turned to me. I told you dinning room.
"I'm sorry Mother she made me angry I never meant to hurt her. .
"Yet that is what you did. What did you get angry about? " Mother asked.
"It does not matter, if you will excuse me I’m not very hungry." I said.
"Dinning room, don't make me tell you again." She warned me. I followed her to the dinning room. Waited for her to sit then sat at opposite end of the table brooding. She linked me as we were eating.
"Want to tell me what the hell that was all about?"
"Raven told me, ugh never mind maybe she is not my Raven after all." I told her.
"Do I have to go ask her? I want to know why you left bruises on your mate?"
"Mother, now is not the time to talk about it. Can I be excused. I need to get some answers."
"If you put your hands on her again it will be me that you deal with. I have never seen you be so curl like that before. Go. I will be up after dinner. I want to know why you did it." She closed the link. I got up and left. Not saying anything to anyone. When I got upstairs and I paced in my room, how was I going to talk about this with out getting angry. I had just assumed my mate would be pure. That she would not have had a mate before me. She was only not quite twenty-two years. I had to approach this calmly. I know I hurt her arm. Damit why did I react like that. Finally, I knocked on the door. Valen answered it and stepped aside so I could enter. He did not look happy with me.
"How is she?" I asked softly,
"Mad as hell, she refuses to eat and has been on the balcony. She will not talk to me." He said.
"Please wait outside the door or get your dinner if you have not had it, yet." I told him.
"If it all the same to you Alpha, Raven requested I stay in the room if you are here." Valen said to me.
"I believe I give the order around here. Not Raven." I told him.
"She will not talk to you unless I am present, Alpha. She has made it quite clear to me if I do not stay you are to leave. Sorry Alpha." He said, I could hear the concern for her in his voice.
"I'm not going to touch her, Valen. I made a mistake." I told him. He did not say anything to me but announced to Raven I was here.
Three steps forward and six steps back. I had to fix this. Raven came into the room she was in her pajamas and a bath robe and slipper.
"What do you want? Alpha Titan," Raven said annoyed.
"I came to apologize, Raven. I'm sorry, I should never have grabbed you like that no matter what you had said to me. It is totally inexcusable." I said truly meaning it.
"Thank you for your apology. You can go now.
