FIREBLOOD PACK
"Ryder, we sent her away and cut off all contact for her safety, we can't contact her, we are still being watched by the council. The best thing we can do for her now is to trust in your aunt and your uncle and have trust in her too." Ava told Ryder comfortingly as she stroked his hair."Ava, do you think I failed my family?" Ryder asked her."Of course not, why would you think such a thing?""Well I was the reason my younger brother ran away from home as a teenager and now my pregnant younger sister is away from home and I don't know where she is and how she is.""Ryder, you did the best you could do and I am sure Lavender and Lily know that." Ava replied him.Ryder smiled, Ava always knew how to reassure him anytime he felt this way."Thanks for always knowing the right things to say. I love you so much Ava.""I love you too Ryder." she stood up and pulled him up as well."Let's go eat lunch." she told him, he nodded and allowed himself to be pulled away by her.THREE MONTHS LATERTHE CITY OF NEW LANTERNS"Lilian, I don't really feel right about this." Aunt Becca (formerly Rebecca) told her.Lilian (formerly Lily) who was getting dressed paused and looked at her."Come on Aunt, we need money to survive. This job is perfect and I am lucky to have been able to get it." Lily replied."But we have a lot of money, you don't need to work." her aunt protested."I know but remember we have to fit in. People would get suspicious about our source of income if none of us are working. And when they get suspicious they start digging into our life and you don't want that, do you?" Lilian asked her."I don't." her aunt said resignedly.Lilian smiled and kissed on her cheek."I will be fine aunt, don't worry about me." she told her."You have to be careful dear, if you should meet any werewolf, do you remember what to say?" her aunt asked."Tell them I am an orphan being raised by my human relatives and I am not affiliated to any pack." Lilian replied."Good girl. Be careful.""I will, take care of yourself and Lavender." Lilian said as she glanced in the direction of the cot where her little angel was currently sleeping."I will take care of him, you don't have to worry about that.""Ok, bye uncle. Take care of yourself" Lilian told her uncle."I will love, have a nice day."Lilian went to the cot and bent down to kiss her baby's forehead."Bye, my angel. Mummy will be back soon." she told him.She waved them goodbye and left the house.Her Aunt kept looking at the door with a worried expression on her face."Why so worried? She will be fine." her husband told her."I can't help but worry Daniel, I don't want anything to happen to her. If it were up to me, she wouldn't leave the house at all.""And that's exactly why she decided to work, she is tired of being cooped up in the house.""But what if harm befalls her?" Becca still worried.Daniel stood up and walked over to her, he took her hands in his."She will be fine, we went far away from anyone who could recognize her. She will be okay. Now stop being a worry wart and come watch TV with me." he pulled her to the sofa to sit with him.ROMANO CONSORTIUMLilian looked up at the majestic company, she had seen an advertisement for the post of a cleaner and she had applied and gotten the job.In the past, she would never have considered being a cleaner, but times had changed now. Now, she wasn't a stuck up spoiled princess.Although, she knew that her aunt had enough money to keep them comfortable for the rest of their lives, she still wanted to work.She needed something to occupy her and stop her from thinking so much.Lilian took a deep breath and entered the building.She headed to HR where she was given her uniform and equipment for cleaning.A supervisor showed her where she would be cleaning.And so she started her new job. If anyone from her past were to see her now, they would be shocked to see Lily, the pampered sister of Alpha Ryder of Fireblood pack and the pampered wife of Alpha Jax of Creekwood pack doing such a menial job.The work was hard and strenuous to Lilian but she soon got used to it. After a long day at work, the smile of little Lavender was able to dispel her tiredness and make her feel better.With time, she adjusted to her new life and even started to make friends at work.Lilian was satisfied with her new life and hoped things continued smoothly for her. But she has no idea that her peaceful life she had carved out for herself and her little family was about to be disrupted.CREEKWOOD PACKWhile Lilian was enjoying her peaceful life in the city of New Lanterns, Alpha Jax wasn't enjoying his in Creekwood pack.While he was working so hard to get his pack running, the werewolf council wasn't making it easy for him at all.They kept showing up to 'check on him' as they liked to term it. Whenever they came, it was to intimidate and insult him knowing fully well that he would be unable to retort.Dean hated the council and would have given them a piece of his mind a long time ago if not for Jax who had ordered him to exercise restraint.Now as he glanced at them today, it took all of his self control not to snap, because he knew that they were waiting for that so they could pin something against him."Now, Alpha Jax before we leave, we need to know your plans for the future." one of the members told him."Plans?" Jax echoed."Yes, plans. When are you getting a new mate?""What!" Jax exclaimed in shock.CREEKWOOD PACK"Why are you shocked? The pack needs a Luna and you also need a mate or are you planning to remain single forever?" one of the members asked Jax."No, no of course not." Jax replied."Well you don't need to worry, we will get you one.""I... I don't think that is necessary. I am capable of getting a mate on my own." Jax replied."Really? Are you going to get another homicidal mate again?"Dean was furious and Jax had to hold his arm to restrain him."Don't bother yourself Jax, just continue being a good Alpha. We will get you a good supportive Luna.""Thank you for your help." Jax managed to say."You are welcome." the member replied with a condescending smile on his face.The werewolf council members left whispering and laughing mockingly among themselves."I hate them so much." Dean said angrily."I hate them too." Jax said."So why are you still tolerating them? let's give them a piece of our mind.""Dean, our pack is still weak, we don't have any allies. We can't af
Lilian walked outside the company with Sue."I am so sorry Sue, we might have to postpone dinner tonight, it's already late." Lilian told Sue with an apologetic tone."It's okay Lilian, we can do dinner tomorrow." Sue said."Or do you want to have dinner at my place with my family?" Lilian offered."Really? Would your parents be okay with that""Of course they would be, they have been wanting to meet you for a while.""Okay, let's go then."Lilian stopped a cab and she and Sue entered inside and headed to her home.When she got home, she immediately went to carry Lavender who giggled upon seeing her."Hey my little boy, I missed you so much." she cooed to him."Awwn, he is much cuter in real life." Sue said as she played with him."Hey Lilian, how was work?" Aunty Rebecca asked."Work went okay, by the way, this is Sue, I told you guys about her." Lilian made the introductions."Pleased to meet you dear, Lillian here has told us all about you. Thanks for looking after her at work.""T
The 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 Ale
"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
"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
