Chapter 394

I saw several bright beads sparkle in her fur and smiled wanly. It didn’t really make me feel better, but neither girl noticed as they kissed me goodbye before taking off.

After lunch Rose and I went to the main transport storage area. Arik and his brothers were waiting for us there. They took us outside in the daylight and it was as beautiful as it had been the day before.

Sun shone down on the forest and small animals skittered in the branches of the tall trees. Again that smell of jasmine was wafted on the breeze. I imagined that Damien and his brothers had enjoyed coming out here and hunting. It was probably really fun and I wished I could have joined them.

Not that they would have taken me, even if we were together, a tiny voice whispered in the back of my mind.

Damien and his brothers would never let me hunt with them here. There were too many unknowns and they thought I was too weak. I would be sequestered in their quarters, hidden away from danger.
