“Then it’s settled,” Bowen said. “We can start packing.”

“Where are we going?” Richard asked. “Is it back to the underground?”

“To our secret village,” Leon said. “It’s even prettier than here because everything has been planted and is taken care of.”

“Who does the gardening?”

That was another thing that Vlad liked about Richard. He was pragmatic.

“We take turns with the mundane chores,” Leon said. “We don’t have any paid labor in the village. No humans, remember?”

“Right. I forgot to ask the most important question. Why do you think that I have the special genes?”

“Because of your paranormal ability. That’s usually a good indicator, but regrettably, it’s not conclusive. The only real test is whether you transition or not.”

He nodded. “Got it. Where am I going to stay? Do you have a guest house in your village, or a motel for visitors? How does it work?”

The guy was practical to a fault.

“You can room with Leon and me,” Bowen suggested. “You can sleep on the couch until you transition. After that, you will be assigned a room in one of the houses. Or we can ask to be moved to a three-bedroom house, and you’ll become our permanent roomie.” He looked at Leon. “If that’s okay with you.”

Leon shrugged. “Sure.”

“Awesome.” Richard grinned. “Thank you.”

“What about us?” Wendy asked. “Where are we going to stay?”

“Until they find us a place, I guess my room in my mom’s house will have to do.”

Wendy grimaced. “Is she going to be okay with that?”

“I’m sure she will. But I need to call her and let her know that we are coming.”

Wendy glanced out the living room window. “Perhaps we can take the motorhome. We can park it somewhere in the village and use it as our temporary house.”

“We can’t. I mean we need to take it, but we can’t park it in the village. All the cars are parked in an underground garage. The only vehicles topside are golf carts.”

“Bummer. It’s going to be so awkward with your mom there.”

“Let’s start packing. We can talk while we do that.”

“Okay.”

As they entered Wendy’s bedroom, Vlad closed the door and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry about my mom. Remember how well the rooms in the underground were soundproofed? The houses in the village are just as good. My mom won’t hear us even with her immortal hearing.”

Wendy let out a breath. “Good. That’s one less thing to worry about. I also have to see Bridget and get a contraceptive shot.”

“I don’t know if she has anything other than condoms. I need to call her and ask.”

“How come she doesn’t have anything other than that?”

“Getting pregnant is considered a miracle and a gift for the clan females. None of them use contraceptives.”

“Is it that rare?”

He nodded. “Right now, there is only one baby, one toddler, and one teenager in the entire village. And Kian’s wife is the only one expecting a child.”

“That’s sad.”

“Yeah. We have another doctor who is working on fertility treatment, but so far, it's only worked for Kian and Syssi.
