“Oh no. The altered betas are all very different. They change for one type of alpha. Ven changed to deal with all the small cuts she gave herself when her claws came in.” She smiled. “So many destroyed clothes.”

Kane smiled. “A brother and sister for the princess.”

Henry frowned. “Aren’t the babies prince and princess?”

Kane shook his head. “No, technically, Penina is Syar’s, and the new babies are Reynaldo’s.”

“But I thought Venetia was the mother of Penina. Syar is infertile.” Henry was genuinely struggling to understand.”

Eliana smiled. “Syar fathered her. Got it?”

“What? Oh.” Henry’s eyes got wide. “Wait, he did that?”

Eliana smiled. “Apparently. You can quiz him after they come home and rest. I wasn’t a witness to the event. Thankfully. You should only bleach your eyes so often in one lifetime.”

There was a rumble of chuckles. And Eliana remembered the very large and attentive audience between her and Henry.

Kane chuckled and headed into the kitchen.

Keoki spoke to her. “So, Eliana, what was your relationship with my brother?”

“I don’t know. Who is your brother? The name I was given didn’t work when I tried to find him.”

Her ex coloured. “Keahi. I do go by Key, but so does my brother.”

“Ah. Keahi. Right. Well, he and his band, of which these two are also members, I am guessing?”

The other alphas nodded.

“Right, well, they came into the diner that I had the dubious honour of manning on Friday and Saturday nights until after midnight. Key—Keahi started to talk with me, and when he found out I was underage, he reeled himself in. We talked about books, movies, occasionally music, and he would return to the diner and walk me home. This happened over two years until I turned eighteen. Then, he set me on fire, and I didn’t see him again until yesterday.”

Keahi jolted. “I didn’t. My beast did. It was why I had to leave. I had an apprenticeship with another dragon arranged, and he taught me how to work with the power I had.”

“Well, that’s good.” She sat back and smiled at Kane as he brought her the salad.

Other servers brought the gathered alphas and omega their meals.

She ate quickly, drank a litre of water, and excused herself.

Keoki looked at her. “You are leaving?”

“Watching people eat has never been a fetish of mine. Enjoy.”

She walked into the kitchen and smiled at Kane. “Would it be possible to get some fabric? I need to make a top for Amelia. She’s wearing jeans and sneakers.”

“I am sure I can arrange it. Does she need a dress?”

“Mid-hip loose tunic and skirt?”

“Done.” He smiled. “Does she mind that she will look like a tourist?”

“No. She just wants to be comfortable.”

“Right. Sure. I will get on that. Colour preferences?”

“Dark purple, blue. Colours of midnight. She likes midnight.” She smiled.

“Okay. I will go and ask around.”
