“No. Just the sensations from the heat of a teen girl who didn’t want anyone to know.” She shrugged. “I kept the actual bottled heats for myself in case I needed one.”
Dante was astonished. “You bottled your heats?”
“After the Stronghold, I wasn’t going to chance getting pregnant like that again just because someone was in the right place at the right time.” She smiled. “So, I saved them for later.”
Achilles grinned. “What would it take to convince you to use one?”
“You would have to ask nicely, and I would have not to be pregnant or recovering from it.” Keres smiled at him and stroked his jaw with her free hand.
Dante chortled. “So, that is in about four months?”
Persephone grinned. “The dance card is filled out. I will remind her.”
Dante smiled. “Thank you, little sister.”
She looked at the two huge and gentle-seeming men her sister was cuddling cats with. She glanced behind her at the attentive men that she had gathered herself. “Well, sissy. We found family.”
“I miss the one we had but will enjoy the ones we build. I am going to be an amazing auntie.”
Persephone put Princess on the ground and hugged her sister. “The absolute best.”
They held each other, and Persephone felt some of the vast power that was inside her sister. She looked up and said, “What day is it?”
Keres smiled. “Tuesday.”
Persephone started to happy cry and laugh, and her pack moved around them, and they were surrounded and safe. Together.
Keres was battered and bloody and focused.
Persephone looked at her and asked, “What are you doing?”
“I am getting you out of here before this happens to you. I can’t go yet. I can’t close the portal on the other side.”
A giant white wall opened next to Persephone.
“Wait! When are we going to be together again?”
Keres smiled in the eerie light. “Tuesday. When you remember me, it will be Tuesday.”
Persephone blinked, and Keres shoved her through the light.
Persephone held her with as much as she could. “It’s Tuesday.”
Keres stroked her hair. “It’s Tuesday. I got taller.”
“I know. Which babies do you have?”
“Mateo and Than.” She smiled. “The other two will be smaller and blonder.”
“Will you make them Elite?”
“Oh, no, honey. That comes from the inside, not the outside.”
“Oh. No offense, but it’s a lot.”
“I know. I really do know.” Keres stroked her hair. “It destroyed our family.”
“No. It took our parents, but we still have family. In a few months, we will have a whole lot more.”
