Achilles laughed. “No, that’s different. I will show you... later.” He whispered, “It’s why we mate in threes.”
“Oh, so the restraint system just got hit with the final snowball?”
Thanatos chuckled. “Sounds like a good use of a multiple-mate situation.”
She looked at her brother-in-law. “As long as they let go when you need them to. I don’t do well with force. I do much better with vocal persuasion.”
Persephone’s eyes flickered.
Keres tensed. “Please, tell me you don’t remember the Stronghold.”
Persephone’s tone was flat. “I don’t remember the Stronghold.”
“Oh, gods. I would hug you, but it would put my boobs in your face.”
Persephone smiled. “Crouch down. I need a hug.”
Achilles let her go, and she hugged Persephone, who whispered, “How did you survive that?”
She whispered back, “I had to. You were next. I am sorry I sent you back to the wreck.”
“I doubt you had much control, and I know you didn’t know they were dead. I didn’t know they were dead either.” She leaned back. “I was sold by the lady who ran my group home. That’s how I became Renner and worked for the JN Foundation.”
“Our name is Rainer.”
“I know. I changed it when I was emancipated. I’ll change it back.”
“Not going to marry any of the baby daddies?”
Persephone blinked. “Nobody asked, but we have a contract.”
Keres nodded. “Good.”
“Are you going to marry one of them?”
Keres shook her head. “I don’t even know if they have legal identification.”
Achilles said, “We do.”
“Right. Well, they didn’t ask me either, and traditions are traditions. I ask enough of them already.” She slowly straightened but kept hold of her sister’s hands.
“Holy shit, you are tall. What are you? Six four?”
“Six four.”
“Dad would have been so proud.”
“Mom would have been hysterical and then proud.” Keres smiled.
Thanatos said softly, “Persephone, isn’t your female alpha very tall?”
Persephone blinked. “But I can’t hold the shape for long. I just use it for smashing people.”
Keres smiled. “Height must be a family trait.”
Ford came over and smiled at Persephone, her mate, and the young woman holding Thanatos’s hand. “Renner, your sister is a menace.”
“I know, and I am so happy she’s back. Oh, and please call me Persephone now. Time to stop hiding.”
