subtler body than your physical one, made of finer, rarer essences. You have subtler
bodies still, bodies that interpenetrate your physical body. Each one has a potentially
separate reality. Perhaps you have some knowledge of those existences, as well,
although it likely isn t fully in your waking consciousness.
Sophia s mind immediately leapt to another childhood secret, but she quelled it
when she saw Che s expression sharpen.
Whom do you mean when you say we?
He met her eyes soberly. After a full moment, his hand slowly stroked the
indentation of her waist. It gratified him immensely to know how acutely she
experienced his touch.
My kind are called Watchers, Sophia. Our mothers were human, but our
Fathers& weren t, to put it simply. The fact is that our origins are as unclear to us as our
earliest memories. Consciousness on the physical world came to us slowly over time.
You might say that our beginnings were dreamlike to us, even though that s a term I
use only for you, honey, seeing as how we really don t sleep.

Subtle Touch
But if your fathers weren t human, then what were they? Sophia asked. She d
twisted around as she watched him with a rapt focus.
Che s newly formed heart beat more rapidly at her question. Did she actually
believe him? Yes, at least part of her did. The other part of her, the part that questioned
her own sanity, would take longer to convince. Although completing the mating bond
would go a long way to helping her assimilate their vastly different existences. He
studied his hand as he deliberately opened it over her narrow waist. His cock twitched
in longing. He could literally span her width with the width of his outstretched hand.
We re not exactly sure. The Fathers were beings of subtler essences, to be sure. Our
myths tell us that they weren t of the earth, but we don t know if that means that they
were from different parts of the physical world, like other planets, for example, or if
they weren t of the material world, meaning a different realm that interpenetrates this
one. Legends say that they begat us with several rare, exceptional human women
whose essences were also subtler than most. We were all born males. But when our
Fathers saw us, they were disappointed in the fact that we were sterile, both with
human women and their own kind. As a consequence, they left us behind.
Sophia s eyes burned. Che s face looked emotionless, but Sophia something else
entirely. That s so sad. What about your mothers?
Che began rubbing her soft, smooth flesh again, moving his hand lower, dipping
his forefinger into the enticing little dimples in her back just above her black bikini
bottoms. Would the miracles of the physical world ever cease to amaze him? He gave a
small shrug.
Most of us know next to nothing about them, for they were mortal. The
Ammadons know more than most, and I know even more of my mother than Bale,
Duse and Jax know of theirs. If we were to consider our life spans relative to humans, it
would be the equivalent of saying that our mothers died when we were only a few
weeks old. But our records tell us more about them than any other of the Mothers. My
mother and Bale, Duse and Jax s mother were sisters, powerful Druagish priestesses.
Paim and Batos, two of our wisest Watchers, hypothesize that our mothers were the
reason for Bale s attribution as king and leader of our kind, while Duse, Jax and I were
always known as princes.
Bale is the king of the Watchers? Skylar asked, wide-eyed.
Yes.
And Eli? He s one of you as well?
Che just nodded. To his surprise, she sighed with relief.
What, honey?
I can t believe I m saying this, but I m glad to hear it. I knew there was something
odd about you three last night something beyond that whole thing at the Lone Wolf,
that is, Sophia added under her breath. It was eating away at me, but I couldn t put it
into words exactly.
