2023-07-11 22:45:55THE HOWARD'S HOUSEHOLD
Lilian 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."It looks so pretty." Sue complimented her."Let's eat dinner" her aunt announced."I hope you guys don't mind that I came over for dinner again?" Sue asked looking apologetic."Of course not dear, any friend of Lilian is welcome here. We actually enjoy your company dear" Lilian's aunt told her."Thanks a lot for your hospitality" Sue said happily as she sat down.In this manner, they laughed and ate dinner happily.NEW LANTERNS PACKRosa turned to look at Ricciardo and Constanza."Hey guys." she said."Hey Rosa." they replied, a deadpan expression on their face."Alessandro, my mum made dinner, do you want to come over? Constanza and Ricciardo, you are also invited." she asked."I have somewhere to be, I am so sorry." Ricciardo rejected the invitation"Same here." Constanza added."Bestie...." Rosa pleaded, giving him her best puppy dog eyes."I have somewhere to be." Alessandro told her."Pleaseeeeee....." she begged."Fine but I will just stay for a little while." he acquiesced."I knew he would agree" Constanza whispered."He is her good little puppy." Ricciardo whispered back.Due to the sensitive hearing of werewolves, Rosa and Alessandro could hear their little whispered exchange.He glared at them and they quickly kept quiet."As a matter of fact, I think Ricciardo and Constanza can spare a little time as well.""What!" Ricciardo exclaimed."Yes, or do you have a problem with the words of your Alpha?" he asked them."No Alpha" they answered in resignation."Lead the way." Alessandro told Rosa."Yes! Mother is going to be so excited." Rosa said as she happily led the way to her house while they followed behind.Rosa's parents were excited to see the Romano siblings at their dinner table.Her mother quickly set the table for dinner. They sat down and started to eat."So Alpha, how is business?" Rosa's father asked him."It's okay. How is your company doing?" Alessandro asked in return."A bit slow but we are managing it and making it work." Alessandro replied."Alpha, I don't want you to get angry about what the Elder council said. As you know they are old. And old people can be a bit insensitive." Rosa's mother said in a soft tone."I am quite aware of that and I am not angry at all. The elder council is right, none of us are mated or have a child. Should anything happen to us, the pack will be in jeopardy." Alessandro replied her.Related chapters

''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

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

"Pleased to meet you, Mr Romano." Lilian said politely."Enough with the formalities, just call me Ricciardo." Ricciardo told her."I don't think that would be proper." Lilian replied."Awwn, you are just as cute as Con said.""You may go miss Howard." Alessandro told Lilian."Yes sir." Lilian replied and left."You are so damn polite brother." Ricciardo told his brother."It's called maintaining boundaries and being professional.""hmmm, funny how you don't maintain those boundaries with Rosa." Ricciardo remarked as he sat down."Seriously, what is your problem with Rosa?" Alessandro asked."Nothing, forget about it." Ricciardo replied.Lilian knocked on the door and entered. She dropped the cold water on the table."I am really sorry sir about the mix-up." she apologized again."Its okay. I need you to print out the Winston files from the files office. I will be needing it in a business meeting later.""Yes sir." Lilian replied and left the office."What's that about?" Ricciardo aske

Although being fired had been her plan, hearing it said out loud by Alessandro made Lilian feel strange. Especially when he looked so angry. Lilian wanted to plead for her job but when she pictured her family, she couldn't."Thank you sir for giving me this opportunity, I am really sorry things went this way, I will drop all my work things at the table. What about the clothes? How do I return them?" she asked Alessandro."Don't bother about the clothes." he told her."Thank you once again sir" Lilian told him.Ricciardo entered the office. "Good news! I was able to score us a new meeting with the Winston team. Lilian schedule it in his planner, it's next week Monday." he told Lilian."There will be no need for that, miss Howard is no longer my secretary." Alessandro informed him."Huh? Why?" he asked confused."I will be taking my leave now." Lilian said and left the brothers alone in the office."Alessandro, what the hell?" Ricciardo asked

"Greetings children, take your seats." the leader of the elder council replied.The siblings sat down obediently."You said you wanted to see us about an urgent matter?" Alessandro asked them."Yes, it's about the matter we told you at the last pack meeting." the elder replied."What matter?" Alessandro asked."The matter of you siblings mating.""Okay, so what about it?" Ricciardo asked."As you know, we have wanted to build connections with other packs for a while now. Especially those packs in the country side." the elder replied."Okay?" Constanza asked impatiently, she couldn't wait for the meeting to be over, she had better things to do than to sit down listening to some old people."Patience my dear! One of the way such connections are made is through marriage. We are pleased to inform all that we have found a match for Constanza here." the elder revealed."A match?" Constanza asked."Yes, there is an Alpha who doesn't have a mate. The werewolf council over there is interested

Alessandro unlocked his office door and went in. He went straight to the mini bar and poured himself a drink. He gulped it down immediately, the fiery taste of the alcohol burning his throat.His mind replayed what had happened earlier in the pack house. He yelled and threw the glass at the wall. The glass shattered immediately.'What had he done? How could he let himself be so angry? They were his siblings, they were his family, not pack members he could use the Alpha command on.He knew they wouldn't forgive him for this and to be honest, neither could he forgive himself. He didn't know what to do.He went to his drawers and brought out the picture again."What do I do Jennie? How do I solve this?" he asked, he got no response, he stood up and poured himself another glass of alcohol.He spent his night in the office drinking and working before going home in the wee hours of the morning.Some days after........Lilian was at home watching cartoons with Lavender when her phone rang, s

Alessandro was relieved when he saw that Ricciardo had left. He looked at the screen in front of him to be sure that he had left.A CCTV camera was in front of his door so he always knew who was at the door.He continued doing his work, he didn't have the energy to deal with Ricciardo today.He got a call from the receptionist that the Winston team were here, he stood up from his desk so he could head to the meeting room.He came out of the office and to his surprise, Ricciardo was seated on the secretary's chair waiting for him."You are still here." he said tiredly."Yes I am still here" Ricciardo said as he stood up."I am not in the mood for your trouble." Alessandro said as he headed to the meeting room."I am not here for trouble" Ricciardo said as he followed him. "So what are you here for then? I am not changing my mind about my order.""I know and I not here to talk about that.""So why are you here?" Alessandro asked impatiently.Ricciardo drew him into a side room by the m

Alessandro sneered at him as he knelt down."So you are capable of begging? Who would have thought?" he asked the team leader."I am sorry for being so arrogant." he apologized."is that the only thing you are sorry for?" Alessandro asked."What do you mean?" he asked in confusion."What about when you framed my secretary up for something she didn't do?" Alessandro asked him.The team leader's face paled when Alessandro said this. "How did you know about this?" he asked. ''You are surprised? I thought the vact that my secretary was probably a slut who warmd my bed was supposed to be public knowledge." Alessandro further questioned. "How... How do you know all thus?" the team leader questioned in a stuuter. "maybe your team isn't as leak proof as you thought." Alessandro told him. The team leader turned around to look at his team suspiciously. "Which of you did this?" he asked.The team tried to persuade him that none of them said anything but he couldn't be persuaded."just wait

"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
