and even let him sleep. He had patience — and he would wait until she was ready to give in to her need to help him.
    Jasmine smiled. “You are welcome, vampire. Now, drink up the last of this blood, no need for me to keep it. Then back to the cell you go. It’s almost lights out and you can finally get some sleep.”
    Kristian laughed. “You know how hard it is for vampires to sleep at night.”
    “Yes, but you will get used to it sooner or later.”
    “Indeed.”
    After he finished the last cup of blood, Jasmine took Kristian back to his cell. He lay on his cot thinking of his love, Raven. He knew his earlier dream of them together was real. Raven remembered him. Remembered their love. Everything.
    Kristian sighed, and decided to send out a mental call to her, but the link they had formed had broken again. With all the powers of Arcadia it shocked him that he could send out a mental call. Well, he couldn’t send one to any of his friends but only his mate. Maybe, Arcadia’s power could not stop love. Kristian sighed again when he could not reach Raven and decided he would call out to her every waking moment like he had before. He would not give up on his mate. Raven loved him and he loved her.
    He closed his eyes, reached out for his mate and drew in a deep breath when he touched her, felt her inside of his mind. Raven was still connected to him in some way. The connection to her was now open. Her memories were locked away, she did not remember him, but he could pull her inside of his thoughts.
    Maybe if he could make her see the past, make her live the love they had over and over, then there was a chance that he could make her remember him.
    Kristian concentrated, creating a deep connection to her, a path that he would be able to connect to her over and over.
    Kristian smiled when he thought back to when he’d first met Raven Nowles, dragging her back to the past with him, making her relive each moment they shared together. His mind was hers. She would see what he saw, feel what he felt and vise versa.
    He hoped that Alec would not detect that their minds were connected and break the spell. He had to get his mate back and this was the only way he could do it.
    Reaching out for Raven, he fused their minds together.
    Raven, I am here, remember me. Remember the day we met.

    Past…
     
    Raven Nowles lifted her head from the café table at the sound of glass shattering as it crashed to the floor in the kitchen area.
    She turned towards the sound of the crash, groaning as the sound echoed in her mind.
    “God damn it Veronica, be careful!” Billy, the cook, screamed at the top of his voice.
    Raven shook her head. Tonight would be a night of fighting between Veronica and Billy. When the place was not busy, they took up each other’s time by getting on each other’s nerves.
    “Oh, shut the hell up will you, Billy. You were the one coming out of the door that clearly reads in. Why don’t you watch…” Veronica’s voice began to fade inside Raven’s mind as she concentrated on blocking out the sound of their voices. She was in no mood to listen to the constant bickering between them tonight. She had to admit that some of their arguments were very entertaining, but tonight Raven only wanted peace.
    Raven’s shoulders relaxed as the sound in her mind faded. She tried to picture herself on an island, away from the noise of the café and the world. She could hear the soothing flow of the ocean waves washing up on the shore. As the water receded, her troubles washed away with the water, leaving her fresh and rejuvenated. Raven breathed out slowly, concentrating on getting rid of the throbbing in her head.
    Raven thought back to when she was a child and she first learned she could block out certain sounds that made her head pound from pain. She remembered at the age of ten while she sat in the living room doing her homework she heard her father’s car pulling up in the driveway. Her
