Achilles extended his left hand, and she took it as they went to meet the triad halfway.

Dante covered her left side.

They approached the Elite, and the three men stared at them in wonder. To the surprise of everyone at the party, the pale Elite bowed low.

Keres walked up to them. “Are you going to report this to the Stronghold?”

The male in front lifted his head and shook his head slowly. “No, omega. We know who you are and are in awe of your existence.”

Keres swept her hand down her body. “This would have been the result if the concubines had been allowed to develop naturally. All those wasted omegas so that the Elite could hear women scream in panic.”

The men carefully straightened. “We are aware of it. We spend our time out here not finding the women they send us after.”

Keres smiled sweetly. “They are sending you into this city? Regularly?

“Yes, omega.”

She nodded and picked up her phone. “Huh. They seem to have forgotten that this was declared a sanctuary city. No Elite candidate can be removed from this place. Have you been able to take a daughter from this city?”

They frowned, and the one on the left said, “No.”

“Good. It is a defense that I bought with my blood and that of my murdered child. My bond keeps them safe, and as I start to make a family, my children will carry on that legacy.”

She extended her hand, and the leader of the three gripped her fingers, jolting as her power swirled around him. She smiled at the shock in his gaze. “All of those women could have been a version of this, but they were stopped. Development halted. We were always meant to be omegas, but with that comes certain powers. The Stronghold is not a fan of women in charge. Too much creative control isn’t good for the council. The others have aged through that insecurity and are now excellent mate material.”

Achilles smiled. “Thank you, golden star. You are ideal for us as well.”

She chuckled and released the hand of the man in front of her. “Ah, I believe that is Lady Fen. She and I are going to have a chat.”

Achilles smiled and said, “I am going to find a snack. Dante?”

“I think I see one of the guys from the office. I wonder if he is going to recognize me?” Dante smiled. “Call us if you need us.”

She smiled and walked over to Lady Fen. The small woman’s eyes got wide as Keres approached.

A chair was nearby, and the woman in it evacuated and gestured for Keres to take it. Keres smiled. “Thank you.”

Fen stared. “You are...”

“An Elite omega? Yes.” She smiled. “Persephone’s twin sister? Also, yes.” She smirked. “I am also a snappy dancer.”

“You are so tall?”

“Of course. I wasn’t evolved for an average alpha. I am made for other things.” She smiled. “Now, I have heard that you have not been particularly charitable to my sister. Lady Fen, that stops now. She is carrying and has just finished her first proper heat. I would be displeased if I heard she was not getting along with her primary’s family.”

Lady Fen’s golden skin darkened, and she looked down. “Persephone is an admirable woman.”

“Omega. She’s a proper fucking omega. Just for the record. She’s not an enhanced beta. She was an omega when we fled, when we were taken, and when she was returned. She was an omega when our parents died, and she was left alone. She needs family, Fen. I am back in her circle for the first time in a decade, but she needs an elder female to turn to. It can’t be Owen all the time.”

Fen smiled and then frowned. “Who is there for you?”

“My mates. They got me out of hell, and we have been together for four years. Oh. Persephone will need four of everything and a ton of diapers. She’s having quads.”

Fen blinked. “Really?”

“One for each mate, including Owen.” She smiled. “My family has a lot of multiples. It’s genetic.”

“Do you have children?”
