Chapter 54

Riella had yet to find a way to escape, though not for lack of trying.

She'd been in the dome a month, and the security around her remained tight. Earl Arianne suspected she'd try and rarely let her out of her room. When she was allowed to leave, usually for more tests or a walk outside for exercise, it was under heavy escort provided by the queen. How nice she'd donated extra Centurions to the cause.

Given her vaunted status, no one at least bothered Riella. But at the same time, she was more restricted than the usual Madres - what they called the women imprisoned here. Marked by their white dresses, they served the needs of the Enclave by providing genetic material to birth the next generation.
