“Are you... do you have a partner?”

“Sort of. I told him to sit and spin until I could get back to you and help you calm your mind. I am here. I wish I could have been with you sooner, but you had to have mates.”

Renner snorted. “So, that is what they were for.”

“Persephone. Things moved fast. They did what they could in the short amount of time. Their thinking minds were not engaging. All blood flow was elsewhere.”

Jasmine was working on her legs, and Renner sniffled. “I didn’t even get flowers. They promised me so much, and I did all that, and I... it wasn’t... I am so tired.”

Armand blinked. “Wait. So, you were actually there this morning?”

“Sort of. A solid projection. I couldn’t talk. I saw you spooning that omega, and Persephone was between the other two.”

“Holy shit.”

Persephone smiled. “I knew that was you. I didn’t know who you were, but I knew it was you. Why didn’t I remember you?”

“The Elite blocked it because they took me too late. They weren’t supposed toadoptafter the age of thirteen. So, they killed mom and dad and took both of us, but I managed to send you back to where our parents were. I didn’t find out until a year later that they had died. I am so sorry for that.”

“I don’t know a lot of things yet, but one thing I do know is that you would walk through fire before you hurt me.”

“I swear I didn’t plant that idea in your head.”

“I know. I have gotten up to our seventh birthday party.” She smiled. “The dog.”

“Oh right. That is when the Elite thing started surfacing. He never saw that barrage of water balloons coming.”

They both giggled. Persephone chuckled. Her soul lightened up, and she knew that it was going to keep going.

When Jasmine wanted to work on her shoulders, Keres had to step to the side. Her sister rose to her full height and stepped aside.

Persephone was eager to finish the massage. When Jasmine smiled and said, “There. All done. Relax here, and have some water. Leave when you like.”

Armand came around and held her robe out. She got her arms in the sleeves, and she tied it shut. “Thank you.”

Armand paused. “You are welcome?”

Persephone got to her feet and held out her arms. “Come here, stretch.”

Keres hugged her and stroked her hair. “I have been waiting for you to get a pack.”

Persephone mumbled, “It is just a biological link. No contract.”

Keres stroked her head. “That can be fixed.”

Armand said, “Mateo’s lawyer has drafted a contract, and it should be home when we get there.”

Keres smiled. “Persephone, wanna see something fun?”

“Sure.”

Keres’ fingers flicked, and Persephone looked down. She was wearing her street clothes, and her bag was with her. Keres was wearing a sundress and high-heeled sandals.

Persephone grabbed her hand. “Come home and meet the guys.”

“I will follow you two. Okay?”

Persephone looked at Armand and said, “Can you drive my car? I promise that we will follow you there.”
