“Yes, Mistress,” I answered her softly.
Nu-reeh stared hard at me.
“Our women do not stay with their female breeder in their place of birth. It will make her a weak female. She must see the rest of this world.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI looked at Nu-reeh and saw her raw power. Neither Hannah nor I would survive a fight with this female. We had to do what Nu-reeh wanted.
“I will tell her she must go, Mistress,” I said with my voice wavering only slightly.
Nu-reeh made a sharp sound and askedto roll the sleeve up on my arm.
“This will stop you from having anymore offspring,” she said pushing the silver pen into my arm.
“You will take the drink every day to augment the effects of this. Damien she cannot miss any of the daily drink. It only works if you are consistent.”

“Yes, Mistress,” the men answered together.
I expected the slight burn that originated from the silver object this time. They had used something similar at the auction. Unfortunately, much Like the auction my visual field started to blacken and I felt myself starting to pass out.
Nu-reeh didn’t care and walked away. Hands stoppedfrom dropping to the floor and I looked up into Bane’s face as he cradled me.
“Rest, Ciara,” he told me, “we will care for you.”

The bed bounced and I opened my eyes to see Hannah’s grinning face above mine. Her teeth were enormous, seemingly longer than they had been the night before. She was crouching beside me waiting forto wake up. For a split second, I saw the predator she could be.
Hannah was a ball of excited energy this morning. As I took my morning bath with my men she talked nonstop. She had hunted and eaten both dinner and breakfast in the mountains. The place she slept had been wonderful. She loved living in the rough.
“Mama, you wouldn’t believe it, but sleeping on my stomach on the warm stone is so comfortable. I don’t have to worry about catching anything with my spears or talons and I can relax,” she explained.
At breakfast she toldall about how wonderful sleeping in Nu-reeh’s cave had been. I agreed and encouraged, but couldn’t find the strength to tell her that was where she belonged. It was easier just to let her talk.
The little medicine cup was at breakfast this morning. Watching my little girl I took it down quickly. I was grateful I would never have to do this again. My mind wasn’t built to feel comfortable watching my child of six moons go out on her own.
After breakfast Hannah wanted to showwhere she had slept. The men went to the sorting room and she pulledto an opening in the mountain.
“Up there, Mama,” she pointed toward the craggy cliffs at the cloud line, “just beyond the line of clouds is where I stayed. Nu-reeh said when the mine near there was fresh she slept in that cave to protect her ore.”
“Seems so high up,” I mused squinting up at the distant peak.
