Dante chuckled. “Not to us.”

She scowled at him, and he absently caressed her breast.

Keres was finally home with her mates, and it would take effort, but they were going to blend together. She could tell.

Two days after the meeting at Ford’s, Keres and her partners pulled up outside Mateo’s enormous home.

Achilles asked her, “Do you want a larger home?”

“No, your home has plenty of room for all of us and a modest number of kids.”

Dante smiled. “Modest?”

“Three, four. Whatever.” When one of them opened the door for her, she smiled. “It depends on how broody I am, and unlike others, I am going to be delivering pure blood Elite. They are going to be tricky. I can tell.”

Achilles took her by the hand, and Dante got the gifts for Thanatos’s new omega. Thanatos, Persephone, and the rest of their pack were sitting together in a living room. The other visitors froze as they passed them.

The guys had pulled out all the stops when they made her clothing. She was wrapped in black and gold with plenty of gemstones from Achille’s collection.

She smiled at Persephone. “Congratulations, sister.” She turned her head to the others and nodded. “Welcome to the family, brothers. We have brought a few items to celebrate my sister tonight.”

Dante grinned and set down a mound of presents in front of Persephone, and then he took a single item and gave it to Owen. He grinned happily and gasped as he took out the carved relief that had their entire pack picked out in different gemstones.

Achilles murmured, “Little sister, the large box contains your version.”

Dante handed her the box, and a very intimate grouping was carved in the same stones. Persephone gasped. “This is gorgeous. Thank you.” She looked at Keres. “Did he do one of you?”

Keres rubbed her neck, setting the chains and gems swinging. “Once or twice.”

Achilles lifted her free hand to his lips. “She is my favourite subject.”

Dante grinned. “He isn’t kidding.”

Persephone got up and hugged them all. “Enjoy the party. I am going to enjoy folks talking about you three.”

“Have a seat, big sissy. Any morning sickness?”

“No, thankfully.”

“Good. Keep me posted if anything needs a second opinion.”

“The doula and midwife are coming tonight so that we can meet. If you are still here, would you like to sit in?”

“Sure.”

They hugged again, and Keres, Achilles, and Dante went to join the party.

When Keres met Ford’s gaze, he whined. “You look so pretty. All of you.”

Achilles and Dante tensed, and Keres followed their gazes. Off at the edge of the yard were several alphas and some Elite poking above the other heads. Three of them.

A white-haired woman Keres had met before walked up to Keres and her mates in a daze. “Persephone said that your guys were dark Elite, but she didn’t mention that you were an Elite omega.”

The chalky faces turned toward their group, and the Stronghold Elite slowly walked toward them.

“Oh, my guys are harmless.”

Keres nodded. “I am sure, but things must be done as they are done.”
