Chapter 550
I smiled up at my men and shook my head. I had no intention of opening that
door, ever. This hunting thing might last a while and I wanted to eat dinner
eventually. Kissing each of their Lips, I pushed them out the door.
For the first time in a long time, I was left alone. I stood for a moment before the
fire and relished the feeling. No one was talking and the room was quiet. I wasn't
supposed to be keeping up with all of them, all at once. Flopping on the chaise, I
laughed.
Blessed silence surrounded me and I sat staring at the fire. The ride here had
been long and tiresome. I enjoyed just sitting and relaxing for a moment.
Leaning back I curled up and closed my eyes. I started to doze and roused
myself. Evan would never understand if he found me sleeping when I wasn’t
pregnant. He'd probably think I was ill.
My needles and yarn sat in a cupboard in the kitchen. I had watched Christof put
them away. Setting back down I started to make a blanket. Even though they
didn’t really need them, my girls did seem to Like things I had made. It made me
feel good.
I was concentrating on what I was doing when the door creaked. I looked up
expecting Damien or his Brothers.
“Did you forget something?” I asked happily as the door opened completely.
It wasn't Damien or the new young family. The men that entered all had shaggy,
bulky outfits on. I screamed and reached for my sword laying several handspans
away.
One man moved quickly toward me and I scrambled away. Darting away from
him was foolish, he was obviously stronger, but I tried as I screamed. He leapt
across the room in a surprising burst of speed and grabbed me.
The man snagged my arm and pulled my back to his chest. Without a second
thought I screamed for Damien again. A hand clamped hard over my mouth and
nose, effectively silencing me.
The rules, I had to remember the rules. I Looked down and quieted myself.
These men would not hurt Damien's property if I acted appropriately. I just had to
pray these were honorable men and not bandits.
“Kev, release your hold, that is too tight for a human. She is silent now,” the man
in front of me said.
The hand on my arm relaxed and I felt the feeling flow back into my hand. The
man’s grip had been so powerful it had cut off my blood supply. As his hand
relaxed on my face it felt sore. He might have left a hand shaped bruise over my
Lips and cheeks.

Rachel, we are sorry to have frightened you,” the man in front said.
“You do not need to fear us, Kennedy sent us.”
I looked up into his eyes and he smiled at me. He Looked familiar, but it was hard
to tell. His face was coated in a fine layer of dirt. He was dressed from head to
toe in an outfit the color of the land outside. It was shaggy and made him look
slightly like a dirty gorilla.

I nodded and the men Laughed lightly. Hannah and Kennedy had taught them
what that meant. It was good I understood.
A tall man stepped forward and motioned to the door. “We have to go now,” the
man in front said pushing a box into my hands.
