Raven's Desires (Night Hunters) Read Online Free PDF

Are you mad! I can lose my job and be trapped in one of those eight-by-eight cells they put dreamwalkers in. You know we don’t need sleep or food to survive. However, to be trapped in a cell that small with nothing but my mind to communicate with would make me go mad.”
    “You will not get caught Jasmine.”
    Jasmine shook her head. “I will not do it, Kristian. No.”
    Kristian felt his entire world crash when she said no. He knew that he could not get out of here without help from Jasmine. She was the only person who could help him get out. The other guards would rather watch him die before helping him show the world the truth. Raven was alive, he always knew that, but now Jasmine knew it for herself. She knew that his mate lived with a slayer killer and he would do anything to get her away from Alec. Anything.
    “I’m sorry, Kristian, but what you ask of me I cannot provide. I give you food. I give you the sleep you need. I can even give you updates on your mate now that I know that she is alive. The one thing I cannot give you is your freedom.”
    “What about a trial? You know I’m innocent.”
    “I know nothing of that. I cannot place myself in a situation where I stand up for you. They would think that we had some type of relationship and I, no disrespect, would never tarnish my race by sleeping with anyone beside a dreamwalker. We do not date outside our race as many of you do.”
    “None taken, but I really wish you would reconsider it, Jasmine. Raven is my mate and to know she has been alive for all these years when no one believed me was torture enough. To now have to live with you knowing that she is alive and knowing that you could probably get me out of here is worse than torture.”
    “I get nothing for letting you out of here, Kristian. Nothing. Oh, don’t get me wrong, I could get life in prison for helping you escape but that’s about it and that’s a deal I’m not ready to work for.”
    Kristian stood and walked up to her. Not close enough to be in her space, just close enough so he could look into her eyes.
    “You get the joy of knowing that an innocent person doesn’t have to spend two hundred years of his life in prison. You will bring together two mates. All you have to do is lower the shield on the left hand side just a little. Enough that I will not pass out if I run through it.”
    Jasmine closed her eyes briefly and he thought that she would agree. “I can’t do it, Kristian. I understand your need to be with Raven. She is your mate. First, think about this, Kristian. Raven does not remember you. She does not remember the love you two shared. She will think of you as a threat to her and the moment you go near her, she will try to kill you. She’s a slayer and that’s what she does. If Alec has reprogrammed her brain, I’m sure he has made her believe that you are a major threat to her and to kill you on sight. I can’t live with that or with the fact that you may be lying to me about everything. The injections. All of it. Raven is a slayer and I never knew of anyone being partnered with a slayer.”
    Kristian walked away from her. “Jasmine, times change. Yes, Raven is the first slayer to be mated with a vampire. I feel that slayers are going to have long living mates because they are immortal. Think about it, how many slayers live past the age of one hundred? I think they give up on life because they have no one in it. They can date humans but have to leave them after a few years because they never age and can’t have anyone noticing that they don’t. Raven is my soul mate and there is nothing anyone can do to change that. She was made for me. Only me. I need to be with her like humans need air. I need to get out of here, Jasmine. I need to be with Raven. I know that I can make her remember me. I just did it and I know I can again.”
    Jasmine raised an eyebrow at him. “I didn’t think of this before, but how did you get her to remember you when the force field around
