Chapter 301
Are you in pain?” Damien asked worriedly. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“No, not physically,” I sighed. “I am mourning that my child will be taken from me in six turns of the moon.”
“I don’t think the female children are taken from the female breeder Christof said sitting down. “The way Nu-reeh explained it to us earlier today the young female will leave when it is time.”
It didn’t make any sense and Christof explained as best he could.
After Nu-reeh took me, Tosu and Dinah talked to my men. They had wanted to tell me these things, but had not gotten the chance. Nu-reeh finished the story after she warned the other men to stay away from me.
Women were not like men. They were born with knowledge, they just had to learn to apply it and get stronger. My daughter would quite quickly become frustrated with Limiting herself to just this mountain. She would want to get out and explore her world.
“The women of our race are the rulers of this entire planet. We considered ourselves well travelled to have seen a different compound,” Kein said.
“As a young woman Nu-reeh went all over the world. She was not even born on this side of the great ocean, but found she preferred it here. Most powerful women do that: travel, find Sisters, and then earn funds to stake a claim on some men.”
Christof continued when Kein stopped talking.
“Your daughter will want to explore this planet before she settles somewhere. That is why Nu-reeh taught you how to survive in the mountains. She expects your daughter to travel and Live in them for many turns of the moon.”
“In the world she will find her strengths and become powerful,” Evan said. “That is how the women always do it.”
“So strange,” I whispered brushing my fingers across Hannah’s tiny cheeks.
I’d talked to Christof about how I grew up. They would know this was nothing Like I was used to.
“It sounds strange to us, too,” Damien admitted.

“We grew up as a family. We always depended on one another. To go out into the world alone…”
“Why, why did Nu-reeh help Hannah? Especially if she expects her to go to some far flung place.”
My men didn’t understand my question. It was obvious to them. Nu-reeh trained Hannah because she was the offspring of one of her men. The fact I was the mother was irrelevant.
“Especially if she is Damien’s,” Christof said. “Tosu said daughters from his line are impressive and so very rare. The women are glad they put the effort into training Hannah through you.”
The day had been exhausting and I just sat staring dumbly at my men. I wasn’t sure I had any emotions left. Eventually Damien clucked a tongue at my sleepy face and walked me to the bed.
Damien took the first night sleeping next to Hannah. His Brothers all clasped him on the shoulder and wished him luck. He returned the sentiment and told them he had always cared for them. All the men said if this was their Last night, they were glad to spend it together.
I was absolutely confused as they said what seemed Like good-bye to one another.
“What is wrong with sleeping next to Hannah? She is your daughter!” I exclaimed sitting on the bed and watching their display.
“If he touches her, Nu-reeh will kill him,” Evan said bluntly.
“We will not survive without our Brother.”
