“I do. The scars healed when I finished growing. In the broad spectrum, they are all selfish assholes.”
“Have they come for you recently?”
“About five years ago, right before I took on Achilles and Dante. They left the city on foot, or one of theirs came to get them from the Stronghold. Their magic was returned to nature.” She smirked. “After I ripped it out of them.”
“I see. Well, Lady Keres, we have an understanding. She is my respected and honoured granddaughter, and my family will treat her as such.”
Keres clapped her hands. “Excellent. Well, then. We will get along just fine.”
She pressed her hands together and drew them apart. “Here. A gift for you and your mates.”
She held the small glowing bottle between her fingertips. “This is an omega heat with no pregnancy.”
“Really?”
“Sure. Passion, heat, adoration for your mates. Need to be filled right fucking now. It is all there. Don’t drink it. It is a perfume.” She grinned.
Keres held it out to the elder omega.
Lady Fen smiled and took it. “Thank you.” She opened the vial and shuddered at the scent, quickly stoppering it. “That was potent.”
“That was before I came into my power. I kept them and bottled them up so I could do what I needed to do. Though, if anyone asks you, that is the only one I have.” She winked.
Fen looked around. “It is shocking that my family hasn’t come to meet you yet.”
“Oh, they are being diverted. I didn’t think we needed an audience. Anyway, enjoy the new granddaughter and enjoy the little great-granddaughter omegas that will be here in eight and a half weeks.”
“Oh, my. We need to have a baby shower.” Lady Fen looked around. “Can you let my family in? We need to make plans.”
Keres laughed and got to her feet, gliding away. Achilles held out his hand where he was chatting with other alphas, and she smiled at his new associates. The hand her mate wrapped around her waist was idly stroking her skin.
She leaned her head on his shoulder, and Dante wandered over to kiss her shoulder.
One of the men asked, “So, you are Persephone’s big sister?”
“Little sister. She’s a few minutes older than I am. Our family has a long line of fraternal twins.” She smiled.
“These are Mateo’s cousins. That is Owen’s brother. Thanatos’s relatives and Armand’s.”
She nodded. “Hello. So, all members of the union are represented here. That’s good.”
One of the men identified as one of Mateo’s cousin said, “So, Lady, are you looking for a third?”
“Ah, no, sweetness. These two are enough for me.”
Dante’s wicked chuckle made her smile.
One of Owen’s relatives smiled. “Ah. You are in love.”
Keres looked to Achilles and then to Dante. “I think you are right.”
Both of her mates stared at her in surprise, and then she was squished between them.
Achilles murmured, “You announced it here?”
She sighed. “I thought I might be leaning toward it, but if you two were gone, I would be devastated and untethered. In my grief, I would tear a hole in the world. That’s love, right? I can’t think of my world without you in it.” She turned her head toward Dante, and he leaned against her.
Achilles said softly, “That is love. Love has a thousand facets, and I look forward to experiencing them all with you.”
