“And yet, she defied him for centuries.She held him at bay, kept him from his children, while she waited for the souls of the ones she loved to occur again.Her sister’s name is Amiraith, but they call her Ira.”Tekumi smiled.“She’s adorable and very smart.I don’t know how Vaayu will feel about the earth-born djinn, but we will know about it fairly soon.”
Hector blinked.“Why?”
“Because our kind can’t keep secrets, and the djinn are control freaks.”
Drift grinned.“And one of them is ours.Or will be when we figure out a pack agreement.Who knows a lawyer?”
Hector smiled.“My cousin is a paralegal and notary.Good enough?”
“When can they be here?”Tekumi smiled.
“Let me ask her.She spends the evenings working for one of those game companies, and her day job is at a law office.”Hector got his phone and sat typing for a moment.
When the phone chimed, Hector grinned.“She says she’s five minutes away.Wake her up and put some pants on.”
Drift paused.“How did she know that Acina was asleep?”
Hector shrugged.“She just knows stuff.”
Tekumi grinned.“This will be interesting.”
Hector smiled and said, “This is my cousin, Helen.”
Helen sat with her notepad, smiling.“Good evening, lady and gentlemen.Let’s begin with legal names and then the details of the pack and provisions for your omega, or in this case, your omega and your delta, as well as legal inheritances.”
The guys blinked.Ax sipped at her tea and said, “I will go first.”
The next ninety minutes were declarations of assets and distribution plans in case of children.
Helen made her notes then opened her laptop and began to type with astonishing speed.“Cuz, can I use your printer?”
“Sure.”
The printer whirred a second later, and the documents were ready.“If you want to look them over and make changes, I can come by tomorrow after I finish work.”
Hector smiled.“That would be great.I don’t want Acina signing anything without sleep.”
“Give me a call when it’s safe and everyone is dressed, or you can call the practice and get Ark or Marshall or Dante in for finer points.”
Tekumi blinked.“You work for them?”
“With them.There is a distinction.”She finished packing up.“Get some pens and scribble.If you send me the changes, I can bring you letterheaded documentation.Get you all sorted before the end of the week.”
Ax looked at her and smiled sleepily.“Thank you for coming so late.”
“Hector knows I am up.”
Ax got up and came around to give her a hug.“I am just trying out the hugging thing.”
Helen paused and then opened her arms for the hug.The moment they made contact, Ax froze.“You...”
“Have issues.Yes.”
“How long?”
“Left?Six weeks.Maybe.I have a few things to do before then.”
Hector was alarmed.“What?What’s wrong, Helen?”
