Owen asked, “How should we start?”

“Tell her that she is sweet and pretty. Give her compliments. They always make her blush and glow. Tell her she is an excellent omega and a wonderful addition to your gathering.”

Thanatos nodded. “We can do that.”

“Did any of you compliment or give her soft words while she was recovering from the pounding three and a half alphas gave her over a few days?” She kept hold of Persephone.

Owen smiled. “I am sure Mateo was all over it. He’s super sweet and good at aftercare.”

Mateo blushed and looked away.

Armand said softly, “We dropped the ball.”

“She’s not a fucking ball.”

Thanatos stepped forward. “We will ask her if we can start over.”

“Scramble fast because if she tells me that she doesn’t want to celebrate her first pack heat or regrets the pregnancy, I will tear you apart.” Keres smiled. “I have a lot of rage.”

“I swear. We will beg if we have to.”

Mateo nodded, and Armand agreed. “Absolutely.”

Owen was staring at his mate. “You didn’t give her any praise or soft words? Fucking hell. You are an idiot.”

Keres nodded. “Right. One more thing. She needs her own goddamn nest. No sharing with someone who can kick her out of the comfortable space.”

“I would never.” Owen frowned.

“Owen, she is going to get fat and heavy and uncomfortable, and I don’t trust you to help her out with it, so she is going to want to hide and be miserable. It will then be your job to join her and make her feel better, but she needs a retreating space. How would you feel if you had nowhere to go when you were overwhelmed?”

Owen muttered, “I would go crazy.”

“She’s never had anyone simply offer her something without hesitation, and she doesn’t know how to ask for what she needs. She will be a bit of work, but there is no better omega on a gun range.” Keres finally handed Persephone over to Thanatos. “She needs a smaller space to wake in. A large room is going to freak her out. The room she was in was obscene for her senses. She kept reaching out and found nothing but empty space. That is why I had to help her.”

Mateo asked, “So you were here?”

“Sort of. I will explain it later. So, are you going to provide what your mate needs?”

Thanatos and the others nodded. She sighed. Now, she could focus on keeping the city free of the Elite.

No one spoke, so she said, “I am sorry to importune you, but I need to be here when she wakes up.”

Owen snapped to attention. “Oh, of course. Would you like something to drink?”

“Coffee?”

“No problem. Please, come this way. I am eager to know what Persephone was like as a child.”

“I definitely have stories about her.”

Owen looked up at her. “Are those ears real?”

She bent and let her brother-in-law touch her ear. The fingers were careful as he examined it. “You have piercings.”

“Yup. A bunch of them. Earrings with little chains on them, too. My ears are really obvious, little brother.”

He blinked and then grinned. “Yeah, I guess that’s it. Come on; Dan makes a good coffee.”
