Rose pointed to the left most door way. She told the men it had been decorated and stocked with
things for them. The other two rooms were for Basin’s family and Stayne’s family.

“I wonder why we are kept separate from the other men?” Christof asked looking around at our private
space.
Rose answered him quietly. The other men didn’t act well around ves. They had foolishly harmed
me before. No one else was permitted in this set of rooms. If the women found anyone here, they
would kill them.
Damien was fine with that. He’d rather not have me around the men up here anyway. Bane walked
toward their rooms and opened the leather drape that acted as the door.
After thest few days I expected an empty cave, that was not the case. We entered into the sitting
room. Much like always the living area was dotted with several chairs around a fire pit. Kein lit the
lamps and we went into the bed area.
Thefortable Looking, round bed was there, draped in their colors and symbol. Off to the side was a
closet. It had been well stocked with dresses for me and clothing for the men. Even boots were present
in the closet. Nothing had been forgotten.

“Come look,” I heard Christof say and I felt the strangeness reverberate through all of us.
We stepped back into the main room and through a leather cover I had not noticed before. Inside Kein
lit the Lamps and I stood Looking at my own warm stone. It was a birthing room.
The birthing room wasrge, obviously meant tofortably fit Nu-reeh should she choose toe in.
This room would prevent me from having to give birth in Nu-reeh’s quarters. I was grateful for the
privacy, but terrified at the implications.
Nu-reeh truly meant to breed me so often I would need my own quarters for it. The thought depressed
me terribly.
“Come on,” Bane said pulling me toward another room, “let’s bathe and settle in.”
There was a bath in our quarters, as well as, a shower. It was a funny ‘luxury the men thought. They’d
be just as fine using the Large bath out front, but I did Like to bathe in privacy. We’d make me happy
for now, particrly since I seemed upset.
The men and I stripped and filled the pool in our quarters with steaming water. They felt the cold melt
out of their bones as they sunk into the warmth. I had not realized how ufortable they really were.
The water brought their aches over the Last many days to the forefront. It had been masked before.
“If we allowed misery to master us, it would make us a weak family,” Damien said pulling me to straddle
hisp. “We can depend on one another to double our strength-“
“-or doubly weaken it,” Christof finished. “I do not understand the bonds the females share, but I
imagine it is simr. They must bond with Sisters who increase their strength. It seems very important.”
It did seem very important. I worried that the next girl know how to make good strong connections.
From what Hannah had told me having a strong Sister that knew the world had been a wonderful thing.
I wanted my daughters to know how to find that.
“I don’t know how to teach her that,” I said running the cloth slowly over Damien’s chest.
“Hannah never exined to me how she knew…”
I felt deficient again and the men groaned openly.
“Ciara,” Damien said tilting my face until I looked into his eyes, “we are strong and capable. Our female
children will be the same. Finding a Sister is probably Like finding a Brother. She will know what we
Look for in one another and find the same thing in her family. You must cease this incessant worry. It is
distracting and pointless.”
I looked into Damien’s eyes as the internal conversation took over. This stress I insisted on having may
have been what fostered my irrational concern over Nu-reeh. They would not let me dwell this time.
“It’s the truth,” I insisted fisting my hands against Damien’s chest. They refused to listen or let me dwell
on it. The memories I had of those times I imed Nu-reeh controlled them were manifestations of
illness in my mind. There was no use in reying those events.
