her eyes were yellow.
    “ Lelurim-Nasa-Rito-Hanish-Carna-Nisdor-Casata-Pateen-Foreh-Hareh-Lasmash .” Her voice echoed through the hallway as she recited part of Lluc’s true name. “Bring your brother.”
    Obediently, Lluc shoved Bach forward.
    “What’s going on?” Bach seized his arm. “Leave now. Something isn’t right.” He recalled how Radala, his ex-girlfriend died trying to convince him his mother was unstable and Wisteria also expressed a negative instinct about his mother. “We should talk about this first. Sen-Filla Merce can explain this to us.”
    “ Don’t be afraid.” Malcolm, his half-brother stood at the exit. His eyes were also yellow.
    Behind him were several Famila men dressed in grey suits, who stared blankly at Bach.
    “Beloved, we are not like the rest of The Family, so Merce and her frauds will be unable to help you.” His mother materialized, inches in front of Bach. “You see, we are as far above them as they are above Malcolm’s Drones.” She pointed to the Famila men who stood motionless behind them. “Or rather, how they think they are over Terrans.”
    “ They’re humans,” Bach gritted. “Never call them Terrans.”
    “ Do not worry. I have no fear or hatred of humans. Remember beloved, I bonded with two humans and one of them was Jason and Malcolm’s father.”
    “ Jason was telling the truth?” Bach realized. “You bonded with two men, but not our father.”
    “ Yes,” she acknowledged.
    “ Father knew this?” Bach demanded.
    “ Only Lord Rafel knew in the end,” she admitted.
    Lord Rafel was the father of Bach ’s best friend, Enric. Rafel had been the Lord of Jarthan after his mother vanished, up until his own daughter Alba killed him at the command of Felip.
    “ Were you aware Felip was going to kill him?” Bach asked.
    “ Felip did not kill Rafel, Alba did,” his mother corrected.
    At one time, he c ared a lot about Alba. His father wanted Bach to name Alba as his intended, which meant one day, he’d marry her. Bach probably would’ve if he hadn’t bonded with Wisteria at thirteen. He shuddered while remembering about the evil Alba was. She used to be kind.
    “ Felip got to her and twisted her mind. She killed her own father for him,” Bach recalled.
    “ Rafel was a good man.” His mother’s head dropped and her long hair brushed against the floor of the cell.
    “ And Felip had her murder him,” Bach pointed out.
    “ He did not. She wanted to murder her father. It takes a special kind of hatred or love to do something so abominable,” she explained.
    “ Lord Rafel was there for me when you died—were gone.”
    “ And I am glad for that.” She took his hand. “Your father is a distant man and never understood how to show his love. I didn’t want to leave you at his mercy, but Wisteria sent me away. I swear. I would have never let Didan hurt you.”
    “ Your sister, Sen-Dra Belem watched it happen and did nothing.”
    “ Belem was a Drone and not as powerful as you and I. You and your brothers are truly different.” His mother beamed. “Like me. When High Father sees you, he will be amazed that you are half Famila.”
    “ Half? I’m part human?” Bach was surprised about how much he wanted it to be true.
    “ No, you, me and your brothers, are what is left of the true Family.” His mother glanced at Lluc, and back at him.
    “ I don’t understand.”
    “ Our people came to the Family’s realm and transformed a primitive race of forest dwellers and nut foragers into the quasi-civilized people they now are. We gave them their dialect, their culture, the power and most of their DNA. In return for our gifts, they worshipped us.” His mother’s tanned complexion turned to ash and her white nails grew long and thick. “Until they decided to join with our enemies and suppress our people.”
    “ What are you?” Bach edged away from her.
    “ I am a Dy’obeth, like my own father.”
    “ Dy’obeths are nothing but children’s
