Chapter 556
Christof did as Damien asked. I know because I read over his shoulder as he
wrote.
His letter was succinct and polite. He greeted Kennedy and wished her well, then
he instructed her. The men that came were too rough with me, although I said it
was not intentional. Men could not be sent to speak with me. Any contact with the
family should be made through Damien or his Brothers.
All the Brothers agreed on the message and I fussed at them.
“She’s so young,” I begged, “and it was so sweet to think of us. Don’t scold her.”
Christof would have none of it. Kennedy was young, but she had to learn. It
wasn't safe to have strange men approaching me.
Damien took the pad after Christof and left a message for Hannah. He wished
she and Ra well. It was a short and pointed note telling them to contact us
anytime. We would be in this cabin for six day cycles.
“Well, she can't really do that,” I said touching his arm. “The boys won't
understand any of this.”
“Relax,” Damien insisted patting my arm, “we'll send them out if we want to talk
to our girls. They can be made to understand we need privacy.”
“She said to teach them,” I whispered to Christof. “Kennedy said that if they knew
the world it might be easier to rescue them. I don’t know how you explain to them
who they are to you and what you know.”
The men all chuckled and grinned.
“They know,” Damien said pulling me past the leather drape into the main room.
“That one,” he pointed to Aryn who grinned proudly, “knew there had to be a
reason he had Bane’s mark on his arm. The kid's been trying to get our attention
for many moons now.”
Bane was standing at the fire roasting the meat the way they liked. Several of the
boys stood close watching him. The boys were all half dressed and damp. Two
were towel drying their hair as we came out. Bane must have made them clean
up after the hunt.
“They figured we'd know why the boy had my mark on him after you reacted so
strongly to seeing it. Aryn finally asked me,” Bane said. “I told him while we
hunted. I am his male-breeder. The women used me to make him and I never
knew. We are family now, all of us.”
The boys looked pleased at the phrase. They were being claimed as family by
strong Warriors. They knew what that term meant to my men, so it was not taken
Lightly. It was a term for ultimate trust and protection.
“The world is not what it seems,” one of the young men said softly. “You have
been to the mountains. You talk to the Administrators and they do what you ask.
Can you tell us what you know?"

The boy was perceptive and bright. The world wasn’t what it seemed, but the
men here rarely questioned things. I stared at the boy in wonder.

“My Brother, Varn, does not have a mark from you all.”
My family exchanged a quick glance and I saw that they'd made a decision.
