“Eat this now,” Evan demanded pressing food to my lips.


    I took the meat and chewed as Damien continued to talk. “The females know what their female


    breeders know when they are born. They also know what their male breeders know, but the bond is


    tenuous. The women found when the human ves carried a female of our species, the ves


    temporarily bonded to the male breeder. It is how the young female learns.”


    “We were unaware,” Christof said. “Nu-reeh told us you must have had a very strong female to have


    bonded to us while we were in the mountains and you were in thepound. Our Mistress believes


    your child will be worthy of her kind, such strength should not be wasted.”


    I was too tired to worry about it. My men fed me and put me in the bed next to Hannah. She was so


    lovely. I cooed and watched her as she rested.


    “What is ‘Hannah’?” Christof asked me quietly.


    “It was my mother’s name,” I told him. “On my world it also meant Favored by God.”

    “That should be eptable to Nu-reeh,” Christof told me. “She wanted to make sure you gave the child


    a strong name.”


    It stung that Nu-reeh had the power to name my child. I vowed that even if she changed the name I


    would always think of my little girl as Hannah.

    Kein pulled a nket over me and Baney down beside me.


    “It is still early in the day, but Nu-reeh said you should rest,” Evan said sounding disgruntled.


    “Go,” I smiled pushing at Bane, “I have rested alone before. There are better things to do rather than


    lay in bed all day.”


    Evan would be made insane if he had to stay cooped up in this room.


    “I think I will stay,” Bane sighed putting his head back on his folded …


    The other men told me to rest and went quietly into the main room after closing the thick leather p


    between the two rooms.


    “She told you to watch me, didn’t she?” I asked Bane.


    “Sleep, Ciara,” he ordered.


    I turned to Look at him and he Looked back at me.


    “Go to sleep,” he repeated.


    I stayed quiet but watched him. He wasn’t closing his eyes and he didn’t look like a man trying to take a


    nap.


    “Yes,” he finally sighed.


    “Nu-reeh wants us to watch you today. She said you would be weak. We are to provide what you need.


    Now rest or she will be angry.”


    Feeling safe and protected, I did as he ordered.


    I slept soundly until Hannah decided it was time to eat. She probably alerted everyone in the cave


    system with her screeching. I was so surprised by the sound I stumbled out of bed thinking it was an


    rm in thepound.


    Standing confused and bleary in the middle of the room, I just couldn’t get my bearing fast enough.
