Chapter 209

“You are right, Ciara,” he said sounding pleased. “You always wear our mark. Whether you have a collar or not, you may look at

us.

| looked up at the men and smiled. My hand drifted to the motif that sat so strange and proud on my stomach. No matter what, |was theirs.

It pleased me to know they had finally realized that.

Unlike my fake Masters, my real Masters did not Leave me once | was stripped. They waited with me beside the fire until theother men arrived.

The men greeted each other and Master Damien gave my fake Masters a large bag of the stones as payment. They talkedbriefly before | was put back into my green and gold outfit. After | was ornamented entirely, my fake Masters wrapped me in twobrown Layers. Once all was ready, we Loaded on the transport. | snuck a last Look at Master Damien and his Brothers; it had tobe enough to sustain me for who knew how long.

We flew home and | stared out over the distance. The men that surrounded me acted Like | wasn’t even present. They talkedabout which women they had liked the most and the places they would return next time. As they talked, | thought about MasterDamien and his Brothers.

| hoped | had given my owners the right mindset. Perhaps thinking of things a different way would make them happier. If theycontinued to fight, there were only two outcomes and neither was good.

If the men physically fought the women, | feared the women would kill them. The men were obviously weaker. According toMaster Kein the men were also outnumbered. | couldn’t imagine it would be much of a battle.

The other option | saw also led to death for my Masters. When they got too upset their bond was damaged. The men didn’t dowell when they weren’t connected to one another. If they were left unconnected, | feared what would become of them.

Of course, | wished they could win a fight with the women and have their freedom. Except for Fuji, | didn’t know anyone thatwanted to be owned and controlled. Freedom seemed to be the keystone of happiness for the sentient beings | knew.

Looking at my fake Masters | knew that was true. They lived where and how they were told to live, but they still maintainedindividuality.

Some choices had been taken away, but not all. Binding a creature like either one of us in forced servitude bent our spirit to nearbreaking.

Why couldn’t the women see that? | wondered. Why couldn’t Master Damien and his Brothers see that?

| shook my self from the thoughts. It was not going to happen. | was weak and they were strong. According to them | could notcare for myself. The men believed | needed them. They would never see it the way | did.

By the time we made it back to the compound | had chased the foolish dreams from my head. Wishing would only depress me,best to focus on the good things | had when | had them. Life would not change just because | wanted it to.

My fake Masters took me inside their dwelling when we got back to the compound. They stripped me and demanded | clean.They sat at their table and counted out the stones Damien had given them. As | washed the apartment they earmarked eachstone for a different endeavor.

As | worked | made up my mind to count the day cycles this time. | wanted to know what the length of time was between mymeetings with my real Masters. | didn’t understand how the different moons turned here and | couldn’t use them to track time.The days | could track, so | decided to do that.
