“No, walk while she rests,” Damien said quietly.
“Of course, you’re right,” I amended, “Nu-reeh said to walk her.” “only in safe places,” Bane added.
“Yes, only in safe places,” I said kissing each of their cheeks.
I made a diaper bag once we were in the apartment. At least, I made the Paterian equivalent of a diaper bag. It had everything I would need for a long uninterrupted walk.

I strode confidently out of our apartment with my head decidedly down. No reason to ask for trouble that wasn’t being offered. No one accostedor even noticedfor that matter.
I stepped into the main hall and the men just walked pastLike I was a stone dropped in the tunnel. It began to feel like I was invisible.
I had to look up occasionally and the men seemed blind to me. Literally, they looked right through me. It was Like they didn’t know I was present.
“They don’t seeto my presence.
I whispered as another group walked past oblivious
The women had no fear the men would bother me, because the men were under their control. Except Runen and his brethren, who had attacked me. It madewonder. Had the women skinned them because they assaulted Hannah or because they were able to override the commands?

Nu-reeh must believe Hannah would be powerful. That’s why the women worked so hard to teach and protect her. Clearly, my daughter was slated to take her place among the women once she was grown.
I walked through the caves and eventually Hannah woke up. She wanted to see what was going on. Holding her in my arms I showed her the world from the openings in the mountains.
The men never bothered us as we walked. If we were loud and boisterous the men Looked around Like they heard something. When we were quiet and stood still, they seemed not to see us. It soon became obvious tothat with enough incentive the men could break free of the women’s commands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI had no urge to get in a confrontation with any men. Hannah and I talked, but I did nothing to rile the few families that strolled by. The women had made it easy and I just stayed under their radar.
As the sun dipped in the sky I walked back to our quarters. I didn’t look down, because there was no need. The men didn’t seeeven if I stood right in front of them. I did not exist.
My family showed up to taketo dinner. They were very concerned aboutand must have worried all afternoon. I put Hannah down and consoled all of them.
“The men just ignored me,” I told them honestly, “there is no reason to worry.”
Damien wasn’t convinced. They all fretted through dinner and none of them ate well. They were too busy planning how to protect me. I wasn’t sure how to explain Nu-reeh’s control to them. From their perspective, I knew it would seem far fetched.
Nu-reeh cin just after we finished the meal and looked at my family. She took in the barely touched food and the worried Looks.
“You did not preform well today at the mating,” she said staring from man to man.
“No one will touch your slave, do not disappointtomorrow.”
