Chapter 6 CHAPTER 06
My wolf was coming forward he wanted to rip him apart, and then he had Raven do the same. Now he had his arm around her, too. I growled at him. He stood up and pointed to the room we came out of. I followed him, wanting to kill him.
"Settle down Hawk. What happened?" He asked.
"I had to control my wolf the minute you
Sat beside Clare, when you put your arm around her, I wanted to kill you. Then, when you had Raven join you, he said he was going to tear you apart. That's when he growled at you." I told him.
"Oh, Hawk, you have a bit of an issue." He said, chuckling.
"What is so funny?" I asked my wolf still pissed.
"They are both your mate." He said
"How can someone have two mates?" I questioned.
"It happens more than you think usually it is the woman, but it does happen to men. You had a lot to work out with them at some point." Joe said. There was a knock on the door.
"Lori brought us down a late snack." Raven said.
Everyone was pretty quiet. No one said much as we ate sandwiches and fruit.
I kept looking at the girls. How could this even be possible. I realize I did love them both. Would they make me choose would it ruin their friendship.
RAVEN'S POV
We all woke up early. Lori had come down at five am. with a big breakfast for everyone, for some reason their was an awkward silence with everyone. Loir came down and gave Joe her phone, saying it was someone named Darlene. Thank you, he said, and he got off the phone.
"We need to head out in the next hour. There was a storm coming, and we needed to stay ahead of it." Joe told us.
"Come on, girls, I will help you pack. Joe, go up and tell Ronald he will pack you a big lunch and snacks for the road." Lori said.
Joe went to his bag and gave Lori an envelope.
"Joe, no, keep it for them." Lori said.
"You know the rules, Lori. Besides, i have money for them, no worries there." Joe told her.
"You know I will just put it back into the pot for next time." Lori laughed.
"I will be sure to tell the boss you said that." Joes told her.
"I'm sure you will. Then I will tell him what I always tell him." Lori laughed.
"In less than an hour, everything was in the huge truck. Joe helped Clare and I into the sleeper of the truck, telling us to make ourselves comfortable. Hawkins talked to Lori and Ronald for a few minutes. Joe gave them both hugs, then climbed up into the truck when he started it. It was loud. As we pulled away from the diner, he pulled a cord, and the sound was deafening, Clare and I covered our ears. Joe and Hawkins laughed.
Joe turned on a radio that sounded like a bunch of static. Joe picked up what looked like a microphone and talked inro it.
"Pink Lady, this is Rider One. The package is now on the road heading north. Come back."
"Stay safe, Rider, I'm a day behind you. Come back if you need me." The woman’s voice said.
"Always, babe. Rider out." Joe said.
"Who was that?" Hawkins asked.
"The wife, Jessica. She has a package going in the same direction. You will get to meet her in a couple of days. We have a stop where we all meet up and do our off the road time." Hawkins laughed.
"When you were on the phone, I thought Darlene was your wife." Now Joe laughed.
"You would think so the way Jessica lets her boss me around. We work for the same cause helping others we are all family." Joe said, smiling. Soon, Clare was looking out from the draped sleep area talking to Joe and Hawkins. I sat cross legged on the bed. Spirit talking to me.
"Today, you are going to learn one of your powers, Raven. It is very simple but only you have the power to do it." She said.
"Why can only I do it?" I questioned
"It is a part of who you are what you were born to be, why we are together." She said.
"I can't do magic or whatever," I told her.
"It is easy, I'm going to become one with you to teach you, are you ready?" She asked.
"Is it going to hurt?" I asked.
"No, silly." She answered. Then, for the first time, she came forward. I could feel her a part of me, not just a voice in my head. We started to sing in a low voice. At first, I didn't understand the language, but as we sang, I suddenly became aware it was the ancient ancestors' language. We reached up and got a small cluster of my hair and started braiding it with each turn of the it was forever tying two souls together. A man and woman who were mates. When we reached the end of the braid, my wolf used her tongue to seal it forever. Spirit retreated and told me to sleep.
I realized suddenly I was very tired. I laid my head against the bunk wall and fell asleep.
JOE'S POV
We could hear Raven singing in the back quietly. Her voice was beautiful and calming. She was singing in the ancient ancestors' language how; did she know it. I was familiar with it because of my pack.
"Hawk, you hear Raven singing?" I asked.
"Yah, she has never done that before. What is she singing? Do you understand what language that is?" Hawk asked.
"It is a love song about a man and a woman and binding of their souls. Clare, did you see what she was doing while she was singing?" I asked.
"Just braiding some of her hair. Now she is sleeping." Clare said as she went back to playing on her phone.
"I was right, Hawk, I will call our pack witch and see if she can find out anything more." I told him.
"Your pack has a witch?" Hawk asked.
"Yes, she has helped and guided the silver wolf since the silver wolf was 17 years of age. She is also married to one of our werebears." I told him.
"Wow, your pack has quite a lot of different types of people." Hawk said.
"You have no idea." I laughed. We had been on the road for about four hours. I could drive until the cows came home, but I knew the girls probably needed to stretch their legs. I got on the radio.
"Rider one to any look out on the 95 come back." Joe said. After a couple of minutes, the radio buzzed.
"Rider one where on the 95, "
"It's coming up one minute, 678 Tank,"
"You're clear, Rider one, no smokies or lurkers. There is a stop in ten miles. I will be waiting for you with the coffee.
