2024-10-29 19:42:56The next morning, Lilian got ready and headed to work like she usually did.
She got to the office, changed into her cleaning attire and went to her assigned section."Hey Lilian." Sue greeted as soon as she saw her."Hey Sue, how was your night?" she answered."Wonderful, thanks to the wonderful dinner I ate last night. I slept like a baby." Sue replied."That's good to know." Lilian said with a smile."So how did you sleep?" Sue asked."Okay." Lilian lied. She couldn't tell Sue that she had tossed and turned in her bed throughout the night wondering if her boss had noticed she was a werewolf."Did you dream of Mr Romano?" Sue asked teasingly."No! Why would I dream of him?" Lilian asked."Because you just met him yesterday and he is so handsome and dreamy" Sue said."Don't tell me you have dreamt of him before?" Lilian asked."Yes, I have. In my dreams, he is the perfect prince charming. Handsome and a bit rogueish as well..........." Sue trailed on as she kept gushing over Alessandro.As Sue kept on talking, Lilian sighted their supervisor approaching them. She started signaling Sue to keep quiet but Sue remained oblivious to her signals and kept talking.The supervisor cleared his throat as he stepped in front of them. Sue turned around and her face went pale with fear when she realized that her supervisor was behind her."I do hope for your own good, that you face your work with the same passion you dream of Mr Romano.""Yes sir." Sue answered timidly, feeling very embarrassed."Good morning Sir." Lilian greeted."Good morning miss Howard. Please pack up your things and come with me" he told her."Why?" she asked in confusion."The boss, Mr Romano has instructed that you should be transferred to his department to work as his secretary."Sue gasped in shock at the news but Lilian kept her composure."But why? I didn't request for a transfer.""Mr Romano will answer any questions you have. Please come with me now." the Supervisor said.Lilian looked at Sue who gave her a smile of encouragement."Don't be worried Lilian, it's just a job upgrade. I am sure the pay and working conditions would be better." Sue told her.Lilian reached out and hugged her tightly."Wait for me, so we can get home together, okay?" she told Sue."Of course Lilian."Lilian packed up her things and followed the supervisor to Alessandro's office.For the first time, she rode the elevator to the top floor. Previously she had no business going up there, she wasn't among the cleaners who worked there.Now, she was expected to work there and be a secretary to Alessandro. She made up her mind to refuse the job offer even she saw him.They got to the top floor and the elevator stopped. Lilian and the supervisor stepped out and headed to his office.The supervisor knocked on the door and the door was opened. Lilian and the supervisor entered inside.Alessandro was seated at his desk looking through some documents. Lilian looked around confused, she wondered who had opened the door since Alessandro was clearly seated."The door is automated." Alessandro spoke up."Huh?" Lilian asked."You were wondering how the door opened right?" Alessandro asked."Yes, I was. How did you know sir?""Most people get that reaction when they come into my office for the first time." he replied."Here she is sir." the supervisor said.Alessandro looked at him, as if he just noticed that he was there."Good, you may go." he told him, the supervisor bowed and left the office."Sit down, miss Howard." Alessandro gestured to the chair in front of him."Thank you sir." she replied and sat down."Well i am sure you have been informed about your new position, am I correct?""Yes sir.""Good........." he paused and looked at her appearance."My driver will drive you to my stylist, she will take you shopping." he continued."I am afraid, I would have to reject your offer sir." Lilian told him."Why?" he asked."I don't think I would be suitable for such a job.""Why?""I am just a lowly cleaner, a secretary would need to accompany you to meetings and be smart and knowledgeable.""And you think you aren't any of those things?""Yes sir, I would like to return to my former position.""Well Miss Howard, I watched your interview video, you were smart and articulate, that's why I offered you this position. Besides, I offered you this job because of your honesty you showed yesterday. I need someone honest for this job. And I also feel the need to look out for you.""Look out for me?" Lilian repeated incomprehensibly."Yes, us werewolves need to look out for each other."Lilian stared at him as alarm bells went off in her head. He knew that she was a werewolf?Related chapters

"Werewolf?" she asked."Yes, you are a werewolf. I noticed your scent, it seems like you recently left your pack." Alessandro told her.Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Lilian cursed inwardly. It seemed like he was a very perceptive werewolf as well.She quickly thought of what to say to make him less suspicious."Eh yes, I used to be in a pack." she told him, hoping that he wouldn't question her further."So why did you leave?""I would like to keep that matter private, if you don't mind sir.""Its okay, I understand. I just hope you didn't do anything illegal."Lilian's heart beat even faster when he said this."No, I didn't. I didn't do anything illegal." she lied."Okay, I believe you. About the job, you have to accept it. I wouldn't trust any other person to be my secretary.""What about your former secretary? Wouldn't he/she feel offended that I took their job""I sacked my previous secretary three days ago. She tried to sell information about me to the paparazzi.""Oh!""So do you see why I n

When they got to the mall, the first thing Constanza did was lead Lilian to the hair salon."Connie! My favorite girl!" the stylist said with a welcoming style as she hugged her."Hey Vera, how are you?" Constanza asked as she hugged her back."I am okay, you?""I am fine, who is this?" Vera asked as she looked at Lilian who stood quietly by the side."This is my new friend Lilian, she is Alessandro's new secretary and he wants her to be styled." Constanza explained."New secretary? How long did the previous one last?" Vera asked."Two weeks, I think. But I know Lilian here is going to last more than that." Constanza replied.Vera looked at Lilian with a smile. "Hey sweetie, welcome to my salon. I will make sure you leave my salon even more beautiful than you came in.""Thanks." Lilian replied.Vera led Lilian to a chair in front of the mirror to sit down."So what do you have in mind?" she asked Constanza."Well her hair is already short, so I was thinking of a little trim and some c
THE VILLAINESS REDEMPTION Rosa and Lilian
"Who is she?" Lilian asked as she looked in the direction that Rosa had went."She is Alessandro's childhood best friend. She has always been narcissistic. You have to be careful with her, she is obsessed with him." Constanza warned."Obsessed?" Lilian asked."Yes obsessed, all the females in Alessandro's life including his past secretaries have all being victims of her." Constanza replied."I will be careful." Lilian assured her. Inwardly she smiled to herself, She was the queen of plotting, if this Rosa girl wanted to plot against her, she would have to teach her a lesson.They finished lunch and Lilian and Constanza went back to her office while Vera went back to her salon.They got to her office and Lilian changed into one of the outfits they had bought and did some light makeup."There you look so beautiful." Constanza gushed over her."Thanks for all your help." Lilian said."You are welcome, let's get together for lunch some time, okay?""Okay, I look forward to that."Lilian b

Lilian was furiously pouring the juice from the little minibar in the kitchen.She hadn't been this furious in a while, Constanza was right, Rosa was a very annoying person.She itched to pour the juice all over her smug face."Calm down Lily, you have done worse to others, haven't you?" she whispered to herself. She put the glass of juice on a little tray and went back to the office to give it to Rosa. She knocked on the door lightly and it swung open. She walked to the table and put the juice in front of Rosa. "Enjoy." she told her. "Thanks." Rosa said with a wide smile. She picked the glass up and took a sip of the juice. "Not quite the right temperature but I will manage it. I am sure you would get it next time." she told Lilian. "Thanks for understanding." Lilian replied. "You may leave." Alessandro told her. "Thank you sir." Lilian said and turned around to leave. Alessandro looked at Rosa who was still sipping her juice leisurely. "Hurry up and finish it, you need to

"That is Giovanni, Mr Romano's driver. And he told his stylist to take me shopping to get new clothes that would befit my new position as his assistant. Also we stopped by a salon and I decided to dye my hair to make sure no one recognizes me from my past. Have I answered all your questions?" Lilian answered all their questions at a go. "Your new position?" her aunt asked."Yes, as a result of my honesty yesterday, I was promoted from being a cleaner to being Mr Romano's secretary." Lilian replied."Wow, that's good news. Congratulations sweetheart." her uncle congratulated her."Don't you think such a position would be too exposing?" her aunt questioned."Exposing?" her uncle asked."Yes, in case two of you forgot, we are on the run from the werewolf council, what if this position brings Lilian exposure and then we are found?" her aunt asked."Oh! I didn't think of that." her uncle said.Her aunt sighed and looked at Lilian."Can you resign sweetie? I know you love your job but we c
THE VILLAINESS REDEMPTION Dinner
THE HOWARD'S HOUSEHOLDLilian was playing with Lavender when she heard a knock on her room door."Sue is here and dinner will soon be ready." her aunt informed her from outside the room."I am coming" she replied."Okay dear."Lilian smiled at her son. "Let's go see Sue." she cooed to him, Little Lavender giggled in response.She opened the door and went downstairs carrying him in her arms. Sue was downstairs helping her aunt set the table."Lilian! I missed you all day. Work wasn't the same without you." Sue said as soon as she saw Lilian.Lilian handed Lavender over to her uncle."I missed you too." she told Sue as she approached her for a hug. The both of them hugged each other."The other girls were green with envy when I told them that not only did you meet Mr Romano, you are also his secretary. By the way, what did you do to your hair?" Sue asked."Mr Romano sent me shopping so I could get work appropriate clothes and along the way I decided to dye my hair." Lilian explained."I

''But Alessandro, the elder council need to understand that you suffered a great loss and that you are still recovering from it" rosatoldalessandro. "I know are feeling worried for me but you have to understand that I am an alpha and I have responsibilities. It is also the duty of the elder council to remind me of these responsibilities." Alessandro told Rosa. ''in case the alpha needs me to recommend someone for him or the beta, I would be happy to help out" Rosa's mother suggested."I am quite okay ma'am but should I need your help I would be sure to let you know." Alessandro assured her."If you make me stay at this dinner for one more minute, I will explode in anger and I assure you that you don't want to see me angry." Rosa spoke to Alessandro through the mind link (a connection through which members of the same pack could communicate through the mind.)"I am really sorry but I and my siblings must be on our way. We have urgent matters to attend to." Alessandro told Rosa's pa
THE VILLAINESS REDEMPTION sabotage
Lilian entered the office and thought hard about what her aunt and uncle had said.If she really did things that angered Alessandro, would he fire her and let her be?Although she didn't want to do this, she also didn't want to put her family in danger. Her uncle and aunt had given up everything, their home, friends and businesses just to protect her. If sabotaging her job would keep them safe, she would have to do it. She went to the mini kitchen and prepared his coffee. Alessandro had told her he preferred his coffee warm with lots of milk and no sugar.Lilian made the coffee steaming hot, put lots of sugar and little milk.She then put it on his table and went to sit at her desk.Some few minutes later, Alessandro entered the office."Good morning Mr Romano." Lilian stood up and greeted him."Good morning Miss Howard. Is my coffee ready?" he asked."Yes sir, it's on your table." she answered."Good."Lilian watched him go inside, she bit her lip guiltily as she thought about what

"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.

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
