Armand said softly, “I have seen you together. You are linked. There is no getting around that.”
She smiled. “We are. And the little girls that will end up sprinting through this house will be linked.”
Owen said. “Little girls? Will they be omegas?”
“Probably.”
Mateo said softly, “You can see them.”
“Yeah. It is one of the things that woke up. I can see a lot of things.”
“Are they like you?”
“Not at the start. Both have black hair. One golden skin, one slightly darker.” She smiled.
Armand asked, “Does she know?”
“No.”
Owen was grinning and working his phone. The smile stumbled. “Keres Eris Rainer?”
“Oh, shit. You paid attention.” She grimaced. “I really wanted just to say it once.”
Mateo took the phone from his omega, and his eyes flicked as he read the article. “This was you?”
“Yes. The scarring healed after two years.”
He shuddered. “You were a child.”
“And because of the actions of that particular warrior, they legally lost access to me. The girls taken from their families are supposed to be educated, not abused. They certainly are not to get pregnant before they are sixteen, and the beatings were not excusable.”
Armand grabbed the phone and read the article. “How did you get away?”
“He beat me until I miscarried, and then my matched mate sent me here. I staggered and bled to a trauma centre, and when the Elite tried to reclaim me, they were refused.”
Mateo asked, “By whom?”
“By me. They took a child and created a wounded warrior with access to all the power of the Elite.” She smiled. “I sent them all home and shared my pain with them. It was disconcerting on their white trousers, and they didn’t like feeling a miscarriage. I gave it to every one of them, and after twenty, they stopped coming for me.”
Owen asked, “Where did the barcode go?”
“Oh, I removed that. She isn’t going to a distant parlour or salon anymore, so it isn’t needed.” She smiled. “That parlour doesn’t exist anymore.”
Mateo blinked. “It burned down. Three restricted omegas were found when they evacuated.”
“Yes. Each had made over ten million for the parlour, and they were completely insane. Therapy and a single good alpha helped two of them, but one lost her life.”
Owen blinked at her. “You found out where she was going.”
“I did. I can reach through time a little when necessary. The moment I had my life, I tried to help her through hers.” She finished her coffee and transported more from the carafe into her cup.
Mateo asked, “Why did you stay apart?”
“Elite wanted my genes if not my body. She’s my twin, so I changed her last name and made sure that she was involved with ladies who would protect her. She stayed in their orbit and survived.” She looked at the three. “Now, I want her to thrive.”
Armand watched as she sipped at her new coffee. “Why is it up to you?”
“Because I kept her from rampaging and seeking me out. That little gal can be terrifying.” She smiled.
