Once we had flown some ways away, Bane Lowered me to the floor of the transport. I almost fell,


    because my feet were still tied. After Christof had cut those ties, I thanked them for finding me.


    “Akisswould be a nice way to thank us,“ Bane said leaning toward me.


    “If you can find her mouth with all that dirt,” Evan said with a smirk, “I’LL give you a stone.”


    “Dirt doesn’t bother me,” Baneughed leaning in tokissmy lips.


    “I guess it must bother that delicate and easily bested sense of taste you have.”


    That got him. Evan grinned evilly punching Bane in the shoulder and pulled me to face him.


    “You are absolutely filthy,” Evan told me before he pressed his lips to mine. He pulled away from my


    mouth with an awful Look on his face. “How much calming cream did she use?” he asked incredulously


    smudging a thumb across my cheek.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Did Nu-reeh wish you to never wake up?”


    I didn’t remember and I told them that. As we flew along I exined thest things I remembered was


    climbing the hill with my burdens. Honestly, that wasn’t necessarily today, or even yesterday, though.


    Everyday they had been gone had been like that.


    Damien was livid. If he could have breathed fire he would have. Since there was nothing except me


    and his Brothers to punch on the transport he was forced to contain his anger.


    I tried to soothe him, but when I stepped closer he got a better look at me. That just made him angrier.


    “Did she feed you?” he asked in a tight voice running his hands over my cheeks and down to my cor


    bones.


    “Yes, Master Damien,” I replied automatically in response to his growing rage.

    They corrected me as one being; we were family. They weren’t Masters and I wasn’t really a ve.


    Damien took that stance, with his feet shoulder width apart and his arms crossed. I looked into his


    menacing face and knew he was fighting for control.


    “Exin to me exactly what you did every day,” he ordered.


    I started to answer him and then thought better of it. “No,” I told him instead squaring my shoulders.


    Damien tensed and I heard the sharp intake of breath from his Brothers. Free or not, no one refused


    Damien.


    “with your hands tied in front of you and surrounded by my Brothers, that seems Like an impudent


    answer,” Damien advised me recrossing his arms decisively across that broad chest. “I have Learned


    many ways to train a human. You will act as part of this family and we do not have secrets.”


    There was steel in his voice. He didn’t want to let this go.


    “If I tell you, and it really makes you angry, what are you nning to do?” I asked hotly.


    “Are you going to go kick Nu-reeh’s ass?”
