I looked in his eyes, but didn’t see the rage I anticipated.
“You also did something very brave,” he continued with a sigh. “You could not bear to see the death of
another when you could prevent it. We are proud of you.”
“Next time,” Bane threatened softly, “we may not feel so. Don’t endanger the little one again.”
There was a rumble through the men, but I was d to see their faces did not look angry, only worried.
We sat in the bedroom for a long time. Eventually Iid next to Kennedy and tried to rx. The men
were lost deep in an internal conversation, They asionally stopped to ask for rification, but
otherwise considered what had happened today silently.
I drifted to sleep beside Kennedy mumbling thanks as the men dragged a cover over us. The day had
been stressful and exhausting. Surrounded by the family in our safe haven, I rxedpletely and
slept.
Angry voices woke me from my sleep and I bolted out of bed. Damien was speaking harshly to Hannah
and she was answering him in the same tone. Neither was loud, it was more like angry whispering.
They both sounded furious.
“Show us,” Damien demanded, “we will protect her-“
Hannah growled before she answered, “You don’t even know what to protect her from. Be patient.
There isn’t a ce that is safe enough for her yet-“
Bane cursed and I heard Evan’s snort of disgust. Pushing back the leather cover to the bedchamber I
walked out into the main room.
Kein saw me first and stalked toward me.
“Go put something on,” he ordered. “It is too cold without your dress.”
“And where is Kennedy?” Evan snapped crossing his arms I was startled by the level of malevolence in
the room and stepped back. Hannah and Damien were staring daggers at one another. The rest of the
men looked ready to fight. Ra stood by the main door and looked furious. I had no idea what was going
on.

“Mama,” Hannah sighed looking over at me something on. The mountains are a cold ce.”
“Kein’s right, go put

Not Like I had any choice. Kein took my arm and Led me to the room with our clothing. He muttered
fierce curses as he sorted through several dresses. Much like the start of our rtionship he chose a
dress and put me in it.
“Hey,” I whispered stroking his arm as he pulled out a pair of my Long boots, “what’s going on that’s got
you so upset?”
Kein turned fiery eyes on me and then went back to his task.
“Hannah knows how we could get out of the mountain, but refuses to show us. She says there is no
ce beyond the hills you would be safe enough. The ces the free men and women Live are not
stable enough to protect a human. One day, she’ll take us,” he growled looking at me, just not today.”

I had not even thought about it when I released the men. It had not urred to me to remember how to
get to the escape tunnels.
I picked up Kennedy and wrapped her as we stepped back into the main room. She was waking up in
my arms and watched the family drama unfold with me. We stood quietly just inside the main room. I
took in the attitudes around us. The men’s faces had be resigned. Hannah was evidently not
budging from her position.
“Themunities now,” Hannah said softly, “are not strong enough. The women can only just manage
to protect the men. Mama would be dead in a lunar cycle.”
