Carol

The next morning, it wasn’t the guest services manager who knocked on her door. It was another immortal.

“Good morning, Ms. Caroline. My name is Rael, and I’m here to escort you to your new accommodations.”

Playing dumb, Carol let her chin quiver. “Did Dimitri call and ask you to take care of me until he comes to pick me up?”

“Mr. Gorchenco called one of the higher up managers and asked him to put in a word for you. My manager instructed me to assign you a comfortable and not overly demanding position, which is exactly what I’m here to do. I found you the best post possible. Easy work, a relaxed environment, and the best staff accommodations on the island. You’re going to love it in the enclave.”

Thank the merciful Fates.

Carol let the tears fall. “Dimitri is not coming for me?”

“I’m afraid not. Are you all packed, or do you need a few minutes?”

The guy was treating her with unexpected courtesy. Up until now, she’d attributed the polite treatment she’d been getting to Gorchenco’s clout, but that was no longer relevant. And it wasn’t likely that this was the Doomers’ default attitude toward women, either. She knew better than that. Lokan must have said something to make the guy behave. But what?

Wiping her tears with the back of her hands, she stepped back into the living room and motioned for Rael to come in. “I thought that I was going home today, so I’m mostly packed.” She sniffled. “What about my medication? Edward said that the resort doctor can get me more insulin. I only have a week’s worth with me. If I don’t get more, I’m going to die.” She let out a muffled sob.

Rael looked alarmed. “If you can make me a list of what you need, I’ll make sure you get it in time. The enclave has its own doctor, and she can help you too.”

“You keep saying the enclave. What is it exactly?”

“It’s a very special place.”

“In what way?”

Rael rubbed a hand over his jaw. “If you think the resort is luxurious, wait until you see the enclave. No expense has been spared on it. Only the best goods are delivered there.”

Rael didn’t know any more than Lokan did about what was going on inside the harem, and he was making stuff up as he went along. It seemed, though, that Navuh pampered his women. They lived in a gilded cage.

Still, she needed to keep playing dumb. “That sounds lovely. Does the enclave serve royalty?”

“You could say so.”

She smiled. “Is there a chance I’ll meet a wealthy sheik there? Or a prince?”

Rael cleared his throat. “The enclave’s distinguished guests are mostly female.”

Carol clapped her hands. “I knew it! I told Dimitri that wealthy women could use a resort like this as well. I see someone has already thought of it.”

Not correcting her supposed misconception, Rael waved in the direction of the bedroom. “We need to get this bungalow cleaned and ready for the next guest. Please collect your things so we may go.
