I remembered the morning episode when she first saw the sky. This child was built to soar out of the


    nest as soon as possible. Trapping her with me would surely kill her. She craved exploration in the wide


    open sky. I would never have the freedom that was her birth right.


    “Rx, Hannah, no one is going anywhere right now. Just remember, when the timees I love you


    and you shouldn’t be afraid to take what is yours.”


    We talked for the rest of the game until Hannah fed again, dropping off to sleep shortly after.


    “How was the game?” I asked my men as we walked silently back to our quarters.


    “Too long since we’ve yed,” Evanined.


    “We’ll win next time, Brother,” Christof consoled him.

    “You boys really haven’t been ying enough if someone here beat you,” I replied surprised.


    “Thank you for reminding us,” Damien said grimly.


    “y tomorrow,” I offered, “the practice would be good for you.”


    The next day found me sitting with Hannah in the main room by the fire.


    My men had long since gone to the sorting room. It was just a quiet morning with the two of us.


    As I tidied up Hannah talked to me about all manner of things. She spoke in English and Paterian,


    switching seamlessly between the two


    Feeling the sudden urge to pee I picked up Hannah and took her with me to the bathroom.


    Hannah was curious. She knew how it felt for me when I needed to go. It wasn’t clear to her if she had


    the same feelings. We discussed what that felt Like and Hannah wanted to use the pot next time. I


    encouraged her tell me. Not using diapers would make this so much easier.


    My men came for lunch and they Looked very pleased with themselves. Evan proudly handed me a


    large bag, as soon as he walked in. I started to pull out the contents and was instantly happy.


    “Look, Hannah,” I eximed, “they bought you blocks to y with.” There were other toys in the bag,


    too. It was a very thoughtful gift. I hugged and thanked all of them.


    “Say ‘thank you’, Hannah,” I ordered picking her up.


    “It was nice of them to think of something you might want. It is polite to show gratitude.”


    Hannah looked uncertainly at Damien and pulled her lips back Like she was going to hiss.


    “Mama will be upset if you aren’t a nice girl,” I warned.

    Hannah thanked my men and I praised her. It hurt me that she would grow up hating the man who


    fathered her. I had never meant to have her think that way.


    Time seemed to fly by at lightening speed. Hannah started to crawl within seven day cycles. She was


    walking within thirty. Dark brown fur started to grow, finally, after she started to walk. Nu-reeh had been


    worried about that. Since the baby fur hadn’te in by her early birth, she thought it should have


    grown in before this.


    The fur covered Hannah from head to toe. It was shorter and seemed lighter than the other women’s


    and it spared her face entirely. Nu-reeh told me the thick hair the females had would grow in after her


    fangs developed.


    It must have been warm, though, because she didn’t want to be wrapped anymore. The fur seemed to


    be doing its job.
