“And I will work with anything over a thousand.” Dante kissed her neck. “You are our little warrior. That is never going to change.”
The world around her was tuned out as she wove her fingers through Dante’s and held onto Achilles. It was so nice to be home.

Persephone and her pack walked into the back where the party was being held, and she saw Keres between her mates talking and speaking softly with a bunch of surprised alphas looking on.
She sighed. “They look so pretty together.”
Owen grinned. “Like a cookie.”
She snorted, and they walked to meet the elders of each family.
Than said, “Lady Fen is known for being difficult, but if she steps out of line, I will step in.”
Persephone smiled. “Thank you.”
She held his hand, and when they sat with Lady Fen, the older woman ordered a pot of tea and smiled as she served it. Than was stunned. “Thank you, Grandma.”
Lady Fen’s smile didn’t falter. “The last few years have brought some truths to me. The world is changing, and I must change with it. This new crop of grandchildren and great-grandchildren is going to be something to behold. So many omegas.”
Persephone chuckled. “You have been talking to Keres.”
“We may have met, omega to omega.”
“Yes, I am certain you did. Did she threaten to pull your omega-ness out through your nose?” Persephone raised her brows.
“Not exactly, but that was the general idea.”
Persephone sighed. “Would you like me to go and kick her ass? I will do it.”
Fen’s eyes got wide. “No. Absolutely not. She offered a gift as a token of her sincerity.”
Than blinked. “What kind of gift? Persephone got about half a million in jewellery and statuary.”
“Something that is priceless and not something I am comfortable discussing with my grandson.”
Persephone blinked and hoped that it didn’t need batteries.
Music had started, and Keres and her guys had taken to the dance floor. Persephone started laughing when all the cats ran up to Achilles and tried to climb into his arms. Keres and the guys each picked up a cat, and the purr was extremely obvious.
Persephone got up, walked over to her sister, and grinned. “If you want some cats, we just got a new batch at the shelter.”
Keres grinned. “I will keep an eye out as soon as I get back to work. Dante has arranged for me to work from home, so I don’t need to cram myself into my usual appearance. My ears are so happy.”
Persephone smiled and asked, “What did you tell Lady Fen?”
“Nothing. Just wanted her to know she should be very honoured to join our small family.” She smiled benignly.
“Uh-huh. No threats?”
“Nope. Just a demonstration of my promise to keep the city and those inside it safe.” Keres scratched Princess under her chin. “Oh, and I gifted her the essence of one of my heats.”
“Keres!”
“Oh, don’t get your knickers in a twist. I have been bottling those suckers since before the accident.” Keres grinned. “It was just a little one.”
Achilles asked, “You gave away a heat?”
