Chapter 323
In my head I counted through the stream of men that had been in my mother’s life. I never got attached to any of her boyfriends, because they came and went so quickly What would happen to me if Damien and his Brothers wanted a fresh face?
“Mama, they think they care for you now, but we both know that could change. You live, breath, and eat at their discretion. We both know what it means to wear the status of slave. You will exist until they tire of you and then they can sell you or kill you!”
My men all stiffened at that comment, but it didn’t stop Hannah. She was on a roll. I saw her temper start to flare out of control and she spoke faster.
“That’s why you’ve been so good to them. You’ve always acted good, so they keep you. Find what they want and provide it, right, Mama? What happens when they don’t want you anymore?! They will destroy you and I can’t stop it! How can I protect you if I’m not here?!” she screamed.
The pain of that last statement stopped me. All her anger, all her frustration was not directed at my men; it was directed at herself. Hannah had internalized all the fears I had, but she could escape them. I could never get away and she thought she was powerless to help me.
She lashed out with her vicious weapons cutting at my men. She was a flurry of screaming fury for a moment or two and then she was gone Hannah had disappeared from the apartment as fast as she had appeared.
Bane was cut the worst, she’d gotten him across the chest deeply. Kein had a nasty wound on his palm where a talon had gone clean through. She’d knocked Damien down, but he rolled out of the way when she tried to take his head off. Christof had been mostly spared since he was close to me. Evan had a series of minor scratches on his face that were bleeding heavily
My men bound their wounds silently and refused to let me help. I thought they were angry at first. They weren’t, they just wanted to spend time together before they died.
“She will honor our request, Nu-reeh already promised she would. If we are not able to care for you, we asked her to place you. There is a family back at the compound that has trained well for an Earthling. They are kind men, for Warriors,” he told me sadly.
“They would treat you well, we are sure of it.”
I was speechless for a moment.
“No, she won’t kill you,” I argued following them around as they dressed themselves.
“You are her favorites…”

“Stay here,” Damien said kissing my cheek, “I think you would feel sick if you watched this.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Bane was kissing me before I could argue. “You brought me great happiness, Ciara. I hope I brought you happiness also.”
“No, this is not happening,” I argued as Evan crushed me to his chest.
“I Liked hugging,” Evan told me. “I liked everything you taught us, except the vomiting. That was awful.”
“This is insane, stop it,” I cried as Kein hugged me.
“You have the nicest breasts and you let me touch them, thank you,” he said leaning down and nuzzling my clothed chest. “I’m glad we were family.”
I wouldn’t let Christof go after he told me he loved me.
“Run,” I begged them, “I saw the ore you have, take it and run. Find a spaceship and get on it.”
“We don’t have enough to take all of us,“ Damien told me simply, “and we can’t run.”
