Dante was still cuddling her, and she kept her arms around his neck until the doorbell chimed again. She started scrambling to get down, and Dante started laughing. “No. My arms to his. You know the rules.”
She grimaced. “You and your knowledge of the rules.”
“I am a very good lawyer.” He smiled but still held her against him. “And excellent at wrangling our little omega.”
Armand blinked. “Omega?”
Persephone sighed. “We are twins, Armand.”
“Shit. It works that way?”
“Yeah. Twins are twins. Even non-identical twins, though we did look much more similar when we were kids.”
Keres smiled. “With different-coloured hair and eyes. But physique was the same until we turned ten.”
A voice reminiscent of gravel tumbling down a hill said, “I like your physique now.”
She looked at Achilles, and he was wearing his human-ish form. “Uh, Achilles, you know my sister, Persephone, and these are her mates, Armand, Owen, Mateo, and her primary, Thanatos.”
Achilles was a brick wall of an alpha, and he walked around shaking hands before bowing to Persephone. “Glad to finally speak with you, little sister.”
Keres smiled at her sister’s shock. “He actually just projected himself into a likely cat that was injured. It accepted him, and he asked it to do what he wanted.”
Achilles smiled. “But I like the look on your face when you thought I could crunch down into the cat. He’s living the same life, rescuing other cats and kittens now. I do not need to remain with him. Now I have time for other things.”
Keres sighed. “Right, smartass. Sign the contract so I can do the transfer.”
“Yes, my dearest star.”
The other alphas stared in shock as Achilles blew her a kiss and went to the document on the table.
Keres watched her mate sign, Dante walked over, and Achilles stretched out his arms to take her, his fingers wiggling like an eager child’s. Keres sighed and went over to him. Dante smelled like warm autumn, but Achilles smelled like icy silver at the stroke of midnight.
Achilles smiled and sighed. “That’s better.”
“Lean over so I can sign the contract, and then put me down so I can do the transfer.”
He gave her a dark look but moved for her until she could sign. Dante took the contract and notarized it with a small stamp.
Persephone blinked. “How is this done?”
Keres kicked, but Achilles walked close to her sister and set her down, keeping hold of her by her hair. She glanced at him, but he shook his head.
Keres smiled. “Take a deep breath. Let it out. I am going to find the specs and then move them.” She placed a hand below her sister’s navel and closed her eyes, seeking the energy of the little specs. Two bright items were glowing in front of her, and magic flared out to catch them. Keres quickly put her hand over her own belly and completed the transfer into the womb she had been silently preparing for a few hours to catch them.
“Done. You have two. I have two, and all are you.” Her body twinged, and she winced. “And the little gals have locked in.”
Keres felt Dante and Achilles focusing on her and pressing against her. She was picked up again, and she and Achilles cuddled. She pressed her nose against his shirt. “You have been working.”
“I have. There is a block of creamy marble with your name on it, my golden star.” He kissed the top of her head.
Her pack was swarming Persephone.
Achilles murmured, “How close was it?”
She whispered, “It was very close. Minutes. Seems that my sister and I share that aspect. It’s going to be a wild nine weeks.”
“I am once again looking very much forward to weeks seven through nine. I have upped my foot-rub game.”
