war.”
“What the hell are you talking about and what does that have to do with her wanting to have sex and get knocked up?” Jasmine asked, exasperated with the circles in the conversation.
Julie’s hands flew up and waved around the room. “All of this is for the cause, Jasmine. I was recruiting you for the side of good, but you…” she pointed at Jasmine and sniffed. “You choose the animals. Well, you’re going to wish you had listened to me. Just wait,” she said self-righteously.
Jasmine leaned forward in her chair and pointed. “You wanted me to give you my babies. Hell, I don’t know you. Why would I give a stranger my kids? You crazy.”
“To save them. To prepare them, you selfish bitch,” Julie yelled.
Glaring at the woman, Jasmine jumped up wishing she could just smack the woman and leave, but that wouldn’t get them the answers they needed. She needed to be mature about this. Her security guard made a step in her direction, she waved him down.
“Prepare them for what?” Jasmine asked in what she hoped was a calm voice.
“ Good girl.” She heard Silas say.
Julie laughed and lay back on the bed. “I’m not telling you.”
Gritting her teeth, Jasmine glanced at Siseria and then at Jaree. She arched her brow. Somebody in this room was going to tell her what she needed to know today. “Jaree come here.”
The large guard strode forward and nodded. Jasmine glanced at Siseria. The woman had stopped licking her lips and stared hungrily at the tall blond man with mint green eyes who stood in front of her.
“Stop… shoo, go away you big wolf,” Julie screamed, jumping off her bed and running to the bars between their cages. “No Siseria, no.” She reached for the other woman and failed, but that didn’t stop her from trying. “Leave her alone, just leave her alone.”
“Go back,” Jasmine said softly to her guard, feeling guilty at the look of longing in Siseria’s eyes. “Step outside for a minute, give her a chance to pull it together.”
He looked at Siseria and then at her before opening the door and taking a step outside. She noticed the door wasn’t closed tight but doubted the women would pick up on it.
“Prepare them for what?” she asked Julie again.
“I can’t tell you.” The woman sounded genuinely regretful.
Jasmine nodded. “Siseria, what did y’all want to prepare my children for? If you don’t tell me, I’m going to call three men in here and they will not leave until you are breeding. Is that what you want?”
“Stop it, damn you. Can’t you see she’s weak?” Julie yelled.
Jasmine thought of her four kids upstairs in bed and the bomb that'd went off less than an hour ago. The lives of everyone she loved were in jeopardy. Weakness worked for her . “Siseria, why do they want my babies?” she asked again in a more demanding voice.
“They are going to determine the future of the war. If we can teach them the ways of Nicromja, then the breeds will defeat the wolves. But you have sons and daughters, that complicates matters. We don’t know which will lead. Your house may be divided.”
What the hell? “Who or what is Nicromja?” Jasmine asked.
Siseria smiled. “He is our Patron.”
“She answered your questions, now leave her alone. Siseria, lay back and rest. Be easy,” Julie said, but Siseria didn’t respond. She continued sitting on the edge of the bed, looking straight ahead and licking her lips.
“A Patron like Silas?” Jasmine asked, not liking the idea of two of them walking around.
“No. Silas is a toy for his Goddess. Ask the Goddess who Nicromja is.”
Puzzled, Jasmine leaned forward. “Why ask her, don’t you know?”
Siseria looked her in the eye, Jasmine gasped at the raw pain she saw reflected there. Whatever was going on with this woman was taking a serious toll. “Who changes life from the seed? Humans? Wolves? No. We are pawns in this game. It is being played on a chessboard none of us can see.”
