Giovanni helped Rosa up. They both looked at each other. The tension in the air was very thick."are you okay?" he asked her."yes, I am.""Ok, I will be on my way." he told her and turned to leave."Gio." she called him back."Yes?" he turned back."Are you doing fine?" she asked him."I am." he answered."We don't talk these days anymore, are you okay? I miss you." she told him.He looked at her and laughed, his laughter was bitter and had a tinge of mockery in it.He walked closer to her and bent down to whisper in her ear."you don't get to fucking do that, you don't get to miss me or care about me. You ruined us and what we had for a man who would never see you as a mate.""Gio." she said in a shaky voice, he glared at her and left.Rosa's eyes were teary, she took a deep breath and took composure of herself.________________________________Alessandro looked at Lilian where she sat across from him working. She was beautiful, her red hair glowed and made her look fierce but he mi
Lilian shivered in fear as she looked at the kidnappers. They had taken her phone away and she had no means of contacting anyone.If it was the werewolf council, she hoped that her aunt and uncle would take Lavender and go very far away.A man walked in and Lily looked up to see who it was. She recognized this man, he had been at the company that day when the Winston team had come and the documents had been swapped. Wait a minute! Could she have been kidnapped because of Alessandro?The man walked closer to her and tilted her face up to look at him."Recognize me?" he asked.Lilian didn't reply him, "You are being stubborn aren't you, that boss of yours thinks he is so powerful. I can see he cares about you, you must be more than his bed warmer, aren't you?" he asked her.Lilian scoffed, she being Alessandro's bed warmer was hilarious. As for the caring part, that was even more hilarious. Alessandro was a good boss and cared for all his employees but that was all. If they had really w
Constanza chuckled, "Well you are right about that. I don't know how I am going to survive without the internet for three months. How do you do it?" she asked him."Well you can't miss something you have never used." Jax told her."You have never?""No, most packs around have no use for the internet. We live a simple life. I used to consider putting in internet and electricity because of my mate but she uh left before I could.""Your mate? What happened to her?" Constanza asked.Jax kept quiet and didn't answer her."Jax?" she called him when he didn't answer her."I am sorry Constanza but I am not yet ready to talk about it.""Its okay, I understand. My elder brother lost his mate too and it was horrible. My brother is the Alpha of our pack and he has always been this strong person I could rely on but when he lost her, he was devastated. He still is.""I am sorry to hear that.""It's okay. All I am trying to say is that it will be okay eventually.""Thanks." Jax said sincerely."You
Alessandro walked towards them like a predator stalking its prey."You, you! How did you find me?" Winston junior stammered in fear."I was going to let you and your family go. You could even do business in another city and I wouldn't even care. But, you decided to kidnap one of my people so I have decided to destroy you." Alessandro replied.Winston junior looked at his team. "What are you waiting for? Shoot them down." he ordered.The dazed team took control of their senses and raised their guns. However before they could shoot, the team rushed them and beat them up. Winston Junior tried to escape but Alessandro caught him and knocked him out.Alessandro walked to Lilian and untied her."They didn't hurt you right?""No, he was waiting for his father.""What a coward!" Alessandro said in disgust as he looked down at him."How did you know I was missing, did he tell you?" Lilian asked.Alessandro chuckled as he helped her up. "Your friend Sue came to tell me"Lilian smiled, "Thank go
Alessandro sat in his car, he had already told Giovanni to drive home. He clenched the steering wheel in anger, he couldn't believe how careless he had been. He should have known that the Winston's would seek revenge yet he had overlooked it.What if he hadn't found her in time. What if those bastards had hurt her.He would make them pay, he didn't mind wiping the full family out of business.He drove back to his home. The elite were waiting for him."Where is he?" he asked them."He is in one of the rooms." one of them answered."Good, now we wait for his father to call." Alessandro said.____________CREEKWOOD PACKRicciardo was in the kitchen making another late night meal. This was an habit of his, his siblings absolutely hated. They claimed it was unhealthy but he needed to have a meal in the middle of the night."Hungry?" he heard someone ask. He looked up to see Jax standing in the doorway."Working late again?" he asked in return."I asked you a question first." Jax said as he
The next morning......Winston Senior sat in his office. He brought out his phone, he was going to reach out to Alessandro and tell him that he was with his dumb secretary. Alessandro would try to negotiate with him and then he would teach him a lesson.He chuckled evilly as he dialed his number. Alessandro picked up almost immediately."Good morning Mr Romano." he said smugly."Yes, how may I help you." Alessandro asked impatiently."Has your little secretary turned up for work today?""Yes, she has. She is in her office right now. Why do you ask?" Alessandro asked him in return."Oh, nothing! I was just curious.""I understand you are practically jobless but others like us have other jobs to do. Don't talk to me about insignificant matters." Alessandro said and hung up the phone.Winston Senior looked at his phone in shock. What the hell was going on? Didn't Winston kidnap Alessandro's secretary yesterday? He dialed his son's phone number yet it wasn't reachable. What was going on,
Alessandro chuckled as he looked at his phone. Winston Senior had been calling him nonstop for hours now. He refused to pick up the call."Aren't you going to pick up the call?" Lilian asked him. He looked up at her and smiled."Why? I am quite enjoying this."Lilian looked at him in surprise. "I have never seen this side of you before.""Don't you like it?" he asked in a flirty undertone.Lilian gulped at the way he was looking at her. Alessandro was a very attractive man and when he was looking at her in this way and manner, it only made her weak.She shook her head free of such thoughts and averted her gaze from him."So are you going to keep ignoring his calls?" she asked him."Nope. I will just stretch out the anticipation." he replied."What if he comes after you?" Lilian asked."He won't. I am literally holding the life of his son in my hands. But just to be safe, Giovanni will take you home and I will assign guards to look after your home.""Thanks.""You shouldn't need to tha
CREEKWOOD PACK Jax looked at Alessandro who sat by his side holding his hand.He didn't know why he had opened up to him but he was happy that he had done so."Jasper, I am sorry that you had to go through all that." Ricciardo told him."I deserved it. I was so dense and dumb and cruel to Ava. Do you know I denounced her from the pack and made her a slave just to please my mate?"Ricciardo said nothing in response, he just kept holding on to Jax's hand."she begged me to believe her but I was blinded by the love I had for my mate. At least she found her true mate at the end. And do you know the funniest part?" Jax asked him.Ricciardo shook his head in response."Her mate was mate's elder brother who was known to be protective of his sister and ruthless. She was so scared that he would hurt her yet he treated her with so much love. And I, her best friend was the one who hurt her the most." Jax couldn't hold his tears in anymore and he burst into tears.Ricciardo took him into his arm
"Good, If you fully agree, then let's head over to his palace" the leader told Feyre.The council, along with Feyre and the others with the help of the witches, went to the king's palace.The king was surprised to see them, especially the council."What brings the council here? Is there a problem?" he asked the council. Then he looked at Feyre."What did you do now?" he asked."I think you should be asking yourself that question" she replied."And what do you mean by that statement? Is that how you address your father now?" he asked her furiously."You are no father of mine" she told him."We are here to take you into custody and put you on trial for the allegations leveled against you by your daughter" the leader of the council."What allegations? This brat is just lying because she wants to be queen" the king replied as he glared furiously at Feyre."The allegations are; consorting with a demon, locking a child up and abusing him, going against the natural order of the world by brin
"OK, I will be nice to her" Ricciardo agreed with Jax.Jax drew him closer and kissed him."That's my lovely mate" he said fondly.Ricciardo smirked and unbuttoned his shirt."Well, your lovely mate would like to show you just how lovely he is" he whispered to Jax."Really, huh? Then show me." Jax whispered back.Ricciardo pushed him gently to the bed and climbed on him.And he spent the night showing Jax just how lovely he was.THE NEXT MORNINGLily was brushing her hair in front of the mirror. Constanza had already gone down for breakfast after failing to convince Lily to join her.There was a knock on the door, Lily thought it was probably Jax."Come in" she said.She was shocked to see Ricciardo coming in with a tray."Good morning" he told her."Good morning" she said in a confused voice."I brought you breakfast" he told her."Thanks, I apologise for inconveniencing you" she replied while looking down and fidgeting with her fingers."Oh, it's okay. You didn't inconvenience me. J
"That old monster" Dustin seethed."he will definitely pay for everything he did" Ava assured Killian."he will, can you say this in the trial incase they need you to testify against him?" Dustin asked Killian."I can" Killian replied.Ava squeezed his hand affectionately. "Don't worry, we will be there to support you" she assured him.Dustin stood up. "I have an idea""what is it?" Ava asked."Killian, have you shifted since the unbinding?" Dustin asked his son."No" Killian answered."Then I know what we can do, we will go out, shift and run around the yards. Ava can chase us with our vampire skills""You are a vampire?" Killian asked Ava, Reni must have left this part of the story out."Yes, I got the vampire side from mom. You got the werewolf side from dad" she replied.Killian fidgeted with his fingers. "What if I am still the wolf of shadows?" he asked."Then you are the wolf of shadows. It's not a big deal, we still love you regardless" Dustin told his as he ruffled his hair a
"I am afraid that's true Lily, maybe you need to face your past. I think you should talk to Dean and Trina, really explain yourself to them. Apologize sincerely" Constanza advised Lily."Thanks Lily" Lily appreciated Constanza for her advice."You are welcome. I really can't wait for everything to be over. So I and Killian can figure out what we want to do with our lives" Constanza said wistfully.Lily patted her hand sympathetically. "Don't worry, everything will be okay soon. If there is one thing I am sure about Ava. It's that she is completely determined" she comforted Constanza.SALVATOREAva, Killian and Dustin were together in one of the rooms."Can you tell us about our mother?" Killian asked Dustin.Dustin smiled as he thought about Freya."Of course. Her name was Freya, she was very beautiful. She wasn't kind or warm at all. She was even more vicious than Feyre" Dustin chuckled fondly as he thought of the past."Why then did you fall for her? Even when you had a mate?" Ava a
Lily thought about what they said. 'They were right, she needed to get used to staying at Creekwood. How would she be comfortable with leaving her son in Creekwood if she didn't feel safe there."Fine, I will go with Constanza to Creekwood". She told Ryder."that's a good idea because we will all be busy securing the pack and you will be much more safer in Creekwood. The king wouldn't look for you guys there." Ryder told her.And so it was settled, Lily and Constanza would go to Creekwood.Evena, Dreya, Ava, Dustin, Killian and Dante went to Salvatore.SALVATOREQueen Feyre was in her throne room when they appeared."Oh! The whole gang is here." she said when she saw them."Your highness" Evena and Dreya said with a slight bow.Feyre stood up from her throne and walked to Killian. She cradled his face in her hands. "I am so sorry, my dear child, I had no idea that you were suffering under my father or that you survived. I would have rescued you long ago, if I had known. Please find it
After the burial, they all went to Fireblood pack.Ava was happy that they were back, she hugged Killian for a long time, both siblings relaxed in each other's arms, feeling fulfilled.Then they sat down in the living room to discuss the way forward. "so you mean to tell me that the demons were just setting a trap so they could come back to this world?" Ava asked."Yes, that's what happened, he would have taken over Killian's body and tried to release the banishment" Dreya replied."The vampires of the past must have banished them for a reason" Ryder said thoughtfully."It might have been because of their power. Azazel wasn't even using his full strength and we couldn't stop him, what if he was at his full strength. Can you imagine, such powerful creatures roaming about. They would be gods" Dreya told Ryder."And Azazel called himself a god" Killian reminded Dreya."How then did Reni manage to send him back?" Ava asked."Reni did a blood sacrifice, he exchanged his life for Killian's.
THE KINGDOM OF HADES (THE DEMON KINGDOM)Reni opened his eyes, he was in a raging bed of fire. The strange thing was he didn't feel hot."where am I? Is this heaven?" he asked aloud.He heard someone laughing, he looked up to see Azazel sitting close to him on a throne made of fire."Welcome to hell" Azazel said.STARLIGHT COVENKillian was in bed with Constanza, the both of them were snuggled up under his blanket."I can't believe Reni is dead, and he died just to save me" Killian said."He must have really cared for you" Constanza said, still in shock about Reni's death."This is all my grandfather's fault, if he hadn't done that deal, Reni wouldn't be dead now" Killian said furious."But then you wouldn't be alive" Constanza reminded him."And he is so dumb that he didn't realize that he was playing into a well laid trap by the demons""Killian, I have a confession to make." Constanza said tentatively."What is it?" he asked her."When we were in Fireblood, I told Ava about you. I
He looked at Azazel, determination shone in his eyes.Azazel smirked, "What are you going to do little witch?"Reni looked him dead in the eyes and he said, "Old gods, I offer myself as a blood sacrifice, send Azazel back to hell and free Killian of his clutches."Azazel dropped Dreya and looked at Reni in horror. "What have you done? How do you know about that?" he asked."Like you said, I am brilliant. I read a lot, that's how I know." Reni replied."No.... This isn't how it should end, I was supposed to win." Azazel said. A great wind started which took Azazel away and the fog and shadows cleared. The cell holding Killian disappeared and he was free. Reni dropped to his knees, blood pouring out of his eyes, nose, mouth and pores in his skin. Dreya and Killian rushed to him."Reni, what did you do?" Killian asked."I saved you, you are free" Reni struggled to say through the blood in his mouth."We need to go back and help you." Dreya told Reni."It's too late, you can't do anythi
"Or you actually planned it all and the king fell into a well laid trap" Reni told him."Oh, you are right. I see why you are brilliant, you see a lot of things that aren't there. I planned it all, I made sure the king had only daughters, made him not to have a male son, killed his daughter and grandson during childbirth.""Did you really do all that?" Dreya asked sceptical."No, I might be a god but I am not that powerful. Everything that happened, that led us here happened because of greed and selfish desires.""What do you mean?" Reni asked."The king wanted a male when he had two wonderful daughters. Dustin had an affair with Freya when he had a beautiful mate. The king should have let Killian die but no he wanted to change fate. I had nothing to do with all this, I simply took advantage of it" Azazel said with a shrug."Why were the demons banished anyway, the vampires must have had a good reason." Dreya asked.Azazel became furious, "They were jealous of us, of our power and th
