Owen said, “She knows you from foundation events.”
“No, I was doing body scans for tank driving and clip scenes. And helicopter flying. The military thought it would be better to have us in on the same days to minimize disruption.” She grinned. “So, we disrupted each other.”
He smiled. “So, how did you get so tall?”
“When they removed the restraints that kept me in an omega shape, the magic took over and remade me. I was sensitive about being small and vulnerable, so now I am not.”
Armand asked, “Why are you telling us this? It is helpful, but why?”
“You will see me frequently in the next few years, and I will be the aunt to her babies. I am going to be hovering around her life now that she knows me again. I have missed my sissy.” She smiled.
Mateo looked at Owen before looking back at her and said, “Where do you live?”
“Here and there.” She shrugged. “I take odd jobs, so I usually find a place to stay near my workplace.”
Owen smiled. “We have lots of space.”
“Good for you.”
He blinked. “Do you want to stay with us?”
“Show me where I can put a nest for Persephone, and then, you can ask me again.”
He smiled. “Bring your coffee. Mateo?”
Mateo rose to his feet, and Keres brought her coffee as they walked through the enormous house.
Mateo said, “You are protective of her.”
“I know what she needs and doesn’t have.”
Owen looked at her. “How tall are you?”
“Six four.”
“Wow. Mateo is only four inches taller.”
“It makes it urgent to find a good seamstress.”
The sound of soft mewing approaching them made her smile. “They are all here.”
Owen murmured, “You know about them?”
She crouched as Cera and Cedric, Rigor, and Princess all came running to her. “I would hope so. My mate found them all and brought them to her.”
“Mate? You have a mate?” Mateo was shocked.
“He was assigned to me at the Stronghold, but we actually made a good match, and then he came in while my abuser was beating the hell out of me, and being inside out was not a good look for him. Achilles is one of theothersof the Stronghold. Tons of power, but he scares the others.”
Owen blinked. “Achilles is the name of the cat at the shelter.”
“It is a safe form for him to be in, and he has been watching over her for me.” She smiled. “He also likes tummy rubs.”
Mateo looked at her in surprise and then said, “You two are not bound yet.”
“No. I had to wait for Persephone to be nice and snug with her own protectors, and despite her personal confidence, she will need protectors. She’s amazing with any firearms though.”
They got to a door, and Mateo said, “I think this would be a good nest for her.”
