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 afford to annoy the council. Just have a little patience.""Fine, I will. So do you want to eat dinner with I and Trina?""I am not really hungry" he told Dean."But Alpha..." Dean started to protest."Dean, you should be going. Trina is waiting for you." Jax said and walked away.Dean looked at him as he walked away and sighed in defeat before going to meet his mate Trina for dinner.THE CITY OF NEW LANTERNS"I can't wait for tonight." Sue, Lilian's friend and her co worker said as they finished up that day."Why, what's happening?" Lilian asked."We are getting paid today and I can't wait to go out for dinner and give myself a treat.""Oh! We are getting paid today?" it had completely skipped Lilian's mind that she would be getting her first payment today."Yes we are, you have to join me for dinner today, I am sure Lavender can wait a little longer." Sue said with a pout because Lilian was fond of refusing her offers to hang out."Yes, I will go out with you. But we have to go home first so I can feed him. Deal?""deal." Sue replied happily.They finished their work and were about to head home when their phones dinged with the notification of the payment alert of their salaries.Sue checked her phone and did a happy dance. Lilian on the other hand checked her phone and frowned in confusion.Sue looked at her and stopped dancing."Why are you frowning? What is the matter?" she asked Lily."My salary is 13,000$ right?" she asked Sue."Yes, that is my salary too." Sue replied.Lilan showed her, the alert she had gotten and Sue gasped in shock."You received 1,300,000?" she asked."Yes and I don't know why""What do you want to do?""I will be heading to HR. This could take a while, do you want to wait for me?" Lilian asked."is that even a question, of course I will wait for you." Sue told her. The two of them headed to the HR together.When they got there, Sue waited outside in the corridor while Lilian headed inside.She entered the office and saw her supervisor talking to someone."Uhm, excuse me sir." she said politely.They both turned around to look at her and Lilian almost gasped in shock at how handsome the man her supervisor was talking to looked.He looked like he had walked out from one of those cheesy romance novels she used to read as a teenager. She wondered who he was, since her supervisor addressed him with respect."Yes, how may I help you?" her supervisor asked impatiently."I just received my payment alert some minutes ago and I noticed there was a mistake." Lilian reported."Why? What was the mistake." the supervisor asked."My salary is 13,000$ and i got 1,300,000 instead" she said.Lilan gave him the phone to see for himself."What the hell? Who made such a mistake." her supervisor said in shock."May I?" the handsome stranger asked the supervisor as he gestured to the phone."Here you go sir." the supervisor gave him the phone.He looked at the phone and glanced at Lilian."What is your name?" he asked."Lilian Howard.""Why did you make a complaint? Anyone else would have run away with the money." he asked."Well, I am not like that and I think it would be dishonest to run away with the money. Besides, I am pretty sure the company has enough resources to track me down in such a situation.""That's true." the supervisor said."Well let's head to the accounting department." the stranger said."Excuse me sir, but who are you?" Lilian couldn't help but ask seeing how he was taking charge of the matter."Miss Howard, he is the CEO of this company" the supervisor told her."Huh?""Miss Howard, I am Alessandro Romano." the stranger introduced himself.Lilian looked at him amazed. She had often being told about the good looks of the CEO, he and his twin brother Ricciardo ran the company.Lilian had been busy with Lavender and her work and she couldn't be bothered to investigate the matter further so she had no idea how he really looked like.Now as she looked at him, she could see that the rumors were really true and he was handsome as everyone said."I am pleased to meet you sir." Lilian answered."Let's head over to the accounting department." the supervisor said.They got to the accounting department and the staff in charge of the payment was shocked to discover his mistake and kept apologizing to Alessandro and thanking Lilian.The matter was resolved, Lilian paid back the extra money and was free to go.As she was about to go, Alessandro stopped her."Miss Howard, thanks again for this.""I simply did what was best sir." she replied."Have a pleasant evening.""You too sir."Lilian left the room after this."What department does she work with?" Alessandro asked the supervisor."The cleaning department sir.""Have her transferred to me tomorrow." he ordered and walked off.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
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
