Kein made a loud noise causing everyone to look at him.

“Are we done with this? Can we find the answer to our questions or is our Sister a woman now and has no need for us?"

I turned sharply and looked at Kein. Their disgruntled attitude made much more sense now. They thought I was siding with the women.

‘m not a woman and I don't side with the women," I answered him quickly. "I didn't want you to break apart in the middle of...that," I said gesturing toward barren area we'd just come in from.

That infuriated them. I was reminded they were not weak men. They had broken apart one time and the situation had been very strange. My men would not do that again.

I was about to tell them the truth when I had a horrible thought.

What if the cabin was bugged with listening devices?

I looked around carefully and started to inspect the walls. Bane cursed and stood staring daggers at me from across the room. Kein stormed outside with Evan and I thought that was a great idea.

“Follow me," I said bolting out the door and running away from the cabin.

I looked around for the perfect area. I wanted to be somewhere no one would be able to hear us. I darted around for a while before I settled on a flat area to the right of the cabin. Stopping I looked toward the men and motioned for them to come toward me.

“What are you doing?!" Damien roared from the cabin door.

I waved frantically to get them to come closer. They just stared at me like I had gone mad.

"Please!" I begged loudly.

Christof came first. He seemed like he was torn on what he was doing, obviously his decision was in opposition of his Brothers. When he was close enough, I grabbed him.

"I'LL tell you the secret," I whispered drawing him down to my level.

“The house might have devices in it so Nu-reeh could hear us. She might be watching."

My voice sounded a little raw and panicked to my ears. Christof must have thought the same thing; he looked concerned. He brushed my hair away from my cheeks and turned to look at his Brothers. They came immediately.

"Is it a breaking of the mind?" Bane asked when he was close. Christof said he didn't think so and Damien said he wished they had brought the other human female.

I was offended. They thought I was crazy. Admittedly running around outside like I had done might have looked odd, but my concern was valid.

“Listening devices might be in the cabin," I insisted. "I'm not crazy. This is a really big secret and Nu-reeh doesn't know I know.”

The gathered men looked at me with faces ranging from amused to concerned.

“Little Sister, we feared you would react badly to the pad. Our cousins told us humans can worry with great imagination. You must not do that. We will be honest with you in the future," Bane soothed. "No one will watch you when you do not know about it.”
