Armand nodded. “Sure.”
Keres grinned and pressed a kiss to Persephone’s fingertips and then blew. A stream of glittering light left them and went through the walls.
“What is that?”
“The talented ladies here will forget that they saw this aspect of me and heard our conversation. It was just two friends sharing a room at the salon. Weirder shit happens in those rooms.”
They walked outside, and Keres paid for both of them before Armand could get his dazed wits together.
Keres put a hand on her shoulder. “You should drive him. He’s a little messed up right now.”
Persephone looked at her mate and blinked. “Why, he looks stoned.”
“He’s taking your mind’s shock at my appearance and our reunion. This is why you needed to be mated before I came out of the woodwork. They will be hit hard, but they can walk it off.”
“Right. I will drive.”
Keres smiled. “I will be on your tail.”
They headed out to the parking lot, and Keres sauntered over to a very flashy sportscar in electric blue.
She got behind the wheel and waited. Persephone took the hint. Armand got into the passenger side, and they were on their way.
She was feeling like herself again. “So, Armand. What do you think of my twin?”
“Not identical.”
“No. Not identical. She was born golden with blue eyes. I had dark locks. We never got away with swapping identities.” Persephone smiled. “I am remembering up to our ninth birthday now. My name always had to be the first one because it is longer. Keres took it with amazing calm.” She smiled. “She got to blow out the candles.”
Armand suddenly spoke with wonder in his tone. “Love. This is what your love feels like.”
Persephone smiled. That was the glow in her soul. “Yes. I think that’s it.”
“I feel drunk with it.”
“Well, when I get to hug her properly and my memories are all back, you will feel more.” She felt wistful. “She’s all I have left, and I forgot all about her.”
He spoke slowly. “I think she needed it that way.”
They drove the next twenty minutes in silence, but Persephone kept an eye on the blue car in her mirror. By the time they got back to Mateo’s, she was shaking. She parked, and Keres parked behind her.
Persephone saw the door open, and Than, Mateo, and Owen walked out. She turned away from them and ran to Keres. Her sister’s scent was familiar, wild, and warm. More memories swamped her, and she fainted.
Chapter Nine
Keres caught her sister and carried her toward the alphas. Armand walked with her. Thanatos was staring. She smiled. “Hey! You have your clothes on. I nearly didn’t recognize you.”
Thanatos and Mateo stared at her. Mateo asked, “Who are you?”
“Call me Tuesday, or call me Keres Rainer. Either one means that I am Persephone’s little sister. Ironic, no?”
Thanatos approached and said, “Can you give her to me?”
“Will you guys actually take care of her this time? She used to mutter about how happy she would be when she had a pack of her own, and they would love her, and she would get to wear pretty things and just be happy all day. She used to love laughing and playing and making other people smile. If you can’t give her some of that, I will scrub your marks and power up the babies so that she will sail through the pregnancy.” Keres smiled.
Mateo stared. “She’s pregnant?”
“Well, two sperm have met two eggs. They should get into a growth position in a few days. Fraternal twins run in our family.”
