He snorted and carried her to the nursery. He settled her on the narrow bed. Eliana put Pen in her cot and pulled a sheet over her chubby legs.
Amelia was lying with her eyes closed and panting heavily. Eliana stroked her forehead. “You good?”
Amelia opened her eyes, and they were solid black. “Coping. You have a baby monitor?”
“I do.”
“Keep it handy. If I start swallowing my own tongue, I will gargle at you.”
“Is the baby okay in here?”
“Yup. This one isn’t getting out.” Amelia smiled, which was distressing with her black eyes. “It’s nice and crunchy.”
“Okay. Enjoy.” Eliana smiled. “Now, close your eyes. You are going to haunt my dreams.”
Amelia laughed softly, and to Elly’s surprise, Keoki murmured, “Good rest.”
Eliana looked at him in surprise, and then they left Amelia to digest the curse she had eaten.
“Thank you for helping,” she said to Keoki.
“You are welcome. Why is Henry’s link with me fizzing and swirling with joy? He is never joyful. He is snide at the best of times.”
She indicated that she was heading down the hall. “Ah, that would be Amelia. She will tell you what she pulled out of him, but she needs to break it down first.”
“What?”
“He was afflicted with dark energy. If I believed in that kind of thing, I would call it a curse, but then I can fly in water, so what do I know?”
Keoki rumbled, “What else can you tell me about it?”
“Talk to Henry about how he’s feeling. Take him for a walk among betas and see if he turns into a psycho bitch again. You run your own tests, and I will wait for Amelia.”
“It is time for lunch. Will you join us?”
“Uh, yeah, I guess it’s time. I am on Penina time.” She made sure the baby monitor was on, and the deep and even breathing made her smile. “Sure. Lunch.”
He nodded. “I want to ask you a little about your relationship with my brother.”
“Wait until I get a salad or sandwich in front of me, so I have something to stab.”
They walked into the dining room, where an excited Henry was shocking the others. She took a spot several seats away from the others. Being that close to that many alphas wasn’t a great idea.
Kane came in and blinked. “Right.”
Eliana smiled. “Sorry. I forgot to warn you.”
“You good with a salad?”
“I am. Oh, the babies are out, and both are healthy. So is Ven.”
Kane grinned.
She held up her phone. “Just got the final head count. Still, only two babies. Ven is healing rapidly, as she does.”
Kane nodded.
Keoki spoke from the other side of the table. “Do you heal rapidly as well?”
