Chapter 598
Evan disagreed and tried to take the pad, “It is not good to have other men near you. Let us do this a different way.”
There was nowhere to run in this Little apartment and going outside was not an option. I took the one action I knew might get their attention. My fingers refused to give up the device and I dropped to my knees.
“Please, Masters, please help me, I cannot survive this way. You must let me escape. I will do anything to get away.”
“You are not a slave,” Bane said pulling at my arm to make me stand. “Get off your knees and do not address us this way.”
Tears ran down my face as I shook my head and refused to rise. “I am your slave if you keep me here, Masters. I am bound by your will. As long as you make my choices for me, I am only a slave.”

My statement offended them greatly. Damien bent and scooped me up as I cradled the pad to my chest.
“Please protect me,” I begged him. “Please allow me to escape this.”
“It is not safe,” he said quietly, setting down on a chair with me on his lap.
“They may hurt you without us there to protect you.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
“Hannah is sending them,” I pleaded.
“She would not send men that would hurt me. Please, my love, please save me.”
I ended my entreaty curling my head under his chin. It further protected the pad against my chest. There was no way I was giving it to him only to have him rip my chance at freedom away.
Damien’s heart beat slow and steady in his chest. I Listened to it as the men had their silent conversation. Glancing around I saw the consternation on the faces around me.
Christof’s eyes met mine and he explained the difficulty they had with this. Leaving me at the mercy of “others” was something they had always been told was wrong. Besides that, every time I’d been left with “others”, I’d been hurt.
Damien’s heart sped up and I knew the decision had been made. Clutching the pad to my chest tighter, I waited for the proclamation
“You are our Sister,” Damien told me slowly, “and we wish to respect your choices. We will do this Hannah’s way because you wish to.”
I’d never felt so elated. I looked up at him and saw the concern on his features. This was not the decision they would have chosen, but they were respecting the wishes of the most opinionated family member.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you,” I gushed kissing his chin, his jaw, and finally his mouth.
“Evan, go get Stayne and his Brothers. Kein, find Basin’s family and bring them here. We must talk,” Damien ordered.
I was bouncing I was so excited. As we waited for our guests I helped clean up the eating area. I straightened the whole apartment as we waited. Everything was put away when the men returned.
Basin and Stayne’s families weren’t surprised we were planning an escape. Stayne had guessed it right away and Basin had wondered for a while. Damien’s family had been much too intent on learning
about the world beyond the mountains.
“We have no interest in going,” Stayne told Damien quite bluntly as we stood around the sitting area. “My brothers and I are happy in this compound. We have a good life here and we are quite satisfied.”
