Chapter 290
Christof knelt protectively beside me. He wasn’t sure what I had to stop.
“Yes, Mistress,” I whimpered holding my stomach.
A moment Later the cramp returned. It radiated from my Lower back and I writhed trying to find a comfortable way to move. Water splashed to the ground beneath me as the contraction ended.
“What is that?” Christof asked Looking between my thighs.
Between my legs was warm and wet as I looked down. Through my translucent clothing it was easy to see the pool of bloody water beneath me.
Nu-reeh was really cursing now. There was so much more I needed to know. She hadn’t gotten through half of my education. There was more she needed to do first. Nu-reh was furious at how far along I was before she knew.
In a fit of anger Nu-reeh slapped Damien.
“Why did you not pick better Keepers?” she demanded as he stumbled back. “They kept it a secret!”
The blow had surprised Damien, but he’d received worse. My family prepared for a beating, still not understanding what brought on this fit of rage. They’d take whatever they had to in order to keep Nu- reeh’s wrath from me.
The pain knotted across my lower back and I groaned leaning onto the wall. I did the breathing Rose had taught me to try to maintain composure. Now was not the time for weakness. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
The sound got Nu-reeh’s attention. She ordered my men to bring certain things from inside and put them in bags. While my men worked she stood glaring at me.
Christof knelt at my side and stroked my back.
“What is happening?” he whispered into my ear when Nu-reeh’s attention turned back to Damien as my men returned to her with the requested items.
“It’s coming soon,” I told him. “The cramping pushes the baby out,” I explained as another wave of it swept across my lower back and into my belly.
Christof picked me up at Nu-reeh’s command and we walked briskly through the hallways. My natural curiosity had me wondering where exactly we were going. I tried to pay attention to the twists and turns, but the cramping kept distracting me. We had never been where we were going now.

“It’s too fast,” I whispered into Christof’s neck. “It takes hours and hours. This is too fast,” I whined as the next series of spine wrenching clenching took me.
Nu-reeh answered me as we walked. “It is one of us, slave, not one of you. She will fight her way out now that you have released the fluid around her.”
I laughed hysterically as my gut clenched again. Images of a hairy beast springing from my huge belly suddenly seemed funny. Perhaps she’d tear out of me and this would all be over.
“No!” Bane shouted.
“You said it comes out the Lower tunnel! Swear to me, Ciara, this doesn’t tear from your body that way!”
My owners were frantic and had stopped moving to surround me. They didn’t know how to fix me if the baby tore out of me. Nu-reeh turned and grabbed me from Christof and walked faster.
“It comes out the tunnel, Bane. Do not be a nuisance. I am bringing you with me into the women’s area. They will not tolerate any trouble from you men,” she said.
We’d never been to the women’s area, not even me. No one was sure why we had to go there. It would be crawling with…ugg, better not to think of what it would be like.
We came to a wall of rock and I looked up the steep incline. Just as I wondered where we go now, Nu- reeh took flight. She soared up with dizzying speed to an opening at the top.
