On Monday morning the bags were packed and the bodyguards loaded them into the trunk of the car while Harry and Louis had breakfast with Jane. They assured her that they would be back as soon as they could, and that she should only call if she wanted to visit them and a car would pick her up.

"See you later, Jane." Said Louis, leaving a kiss on the omega's cheek and hugging her.

"See you, dear, thanks for coming to visit me," she gave him a smile and the alpha returned it. Harry walked towards her mother and wrapped her in a loving hug, "my little Harry, please take care of yourself and don't do anything that puts your life at risk."

"Of course not mom, we're all going to be fine now." He kissed her mother and separated from her. "See you later, call me if you need anything and I'll come as fast as I can."

They both got into the car and the curly man couldn't help but shed a tear for his mother, now that Stella was going to be working in the house's laboratories, his mother would be alone all the time and that broke his heart, although he couldn't help but feel poisonous memory of his father and the way he had abandoned her to continue in a stupid mafia.

Almost four hours later the car stopped in front of Icarus Rose's house and the couple got out with somewhat numb legs. It had taken half an hour longer than normal due to all the traffic, but they were happy to return home, finally. Upon entering they were greeted by Barbara's arms, who accompanied Harry to his room to help him unpack their suitcases, which were actually full of the things that the omega had bought at the market.

Meanwhile, Louis went to Zayn's office to finally return to work properly, there were no more festivities or inconveniences that prevented them from returning to normal, however, as he walked he ran into those brown eyes, Zayn looked annoyed and judging from the expressions of the guards in the hallway the alpha knew there was trouble.

"Until you return, there are too many things to do and you two leave as if nothing happened." His voice was rough, something not very common in the omega.

"I missed you too, bro." Zayn let out a tired sigh and walked over to the alpha for a hug.

"Sorry, there's just too much to do and this weekend was a roller coaster of emotions." He explained once they separated and Louis placed his hand on the omega's shoulder to give him a gentle, comforting squeeze.

"What happened? We haven't heard from you, you could have told us to come back and help you with the job."

"It's not that, it's just that..." A small smile appeared on his face and he placed his hand on his abdomen. The alpha watched his movements carefully and looked into his eyes again. "We're going to have twins." Louis and reached out to hug him effusively.

"I can not believe it!" He exclaimed happily. "What good news, Zayn, I'm very happy for you, I can't wait for them to be born."

"Thank you, but that's the only good news I have for you," his serious face reappeared, "we have to do a lot of things, well, you have to do a lot of things. First of all, I need you to review the amount of merchandise that we will send to America and have Niall start the procedures for the flight. I also need you to calculate the estimated profits and the monetary value of what we will send." The alpha closed his eyes and sighed.

"Anything else?"

"Yes, I also need you to calculate the amount of money that we will send to Mr. Mendes every..." The omega fell silent when he observed that Shawn had appeared, the alpha looked back and the omega noticed that they were looking at him. "Mendes, exploring the Mansion?" He asked with a more cheerful tone and Shawn walked over to them.

"Yeah, I'm just trying to make a mental map so I don't get lost every time I want to go to the bathroom." The three of them laughed.

"You should tell Harry to take you to see the horses, you can even go for a ride" Zayn turned to the side for a guard, and before Shawn could speak again he did. "Hey!, you! Come here." He ordered and the alpha walked up to them. "Call Mr. Styles, and tell him to accompany Mr. Mendes, to see the horses, and tell him that they can also ride the horses if they want to."

"Right away." The alpha walked quickly to the stairs and disappeared from the place. Louis looked at Zayn in confusion, while Shawn didn't know if it was good to deny the omega something because he had been part of a deal and he didn't know how things worked in that house yet.

"You and you," he called to two other guards, "accompany Mr. Mendes and Styles to the ride, also the other useless who went up to call him," the alphas nodded and walked until they were behind Shawn, "after that ask Harry to give you a small tour of the house, and make sure that a guard is always with you."

"I don't think it's necessary..." The alpha started but a look from Zayn silenced him.

☺☻☺☻

Three knocks on the wood made the omega stop what he was doing and answer the door.

"Mr. Malik asked me to tell you to please accompany Mr. Mendes for a ride." He announced and Harry's brow furrowed, he looked at Barbara for answers but she just shrugged, not knowing what was happening.

"Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can, thank you." The guard nodded and turned around to wait for the omega who closed the door and sighed. "I guess we'll continue with this later."

"Oh honey, I'll finish unpacking your things, don't worry." Barbara assured, but the omega shook his head.

"You don't work for us anymore, it's not necessary for you to do it, plus I don't have a problem with doing it later, I'll even tell Louis to do it himself." Having said that, he took his phone and left his room accompanied by that alpha .

They went down the stairs and found the three men who were still standing in the same place.

"So we're going for a ride?" He said once he was next to his alpha.

"Just you two, Louis has a lot of work to do and I'll be busy with Liam throwing a party that Niall insisted on having." Zayn spoke.

"Party? What are we celebrating?" He asked, and Zayn smiled.

"They're having twins." the alpha said, and Harry's eyes sparkled.

"Twins?" He hugged Zayn and kissed his cheek. "I can't believe it, what good news, I bought some beautiful sweaters, I'll give them to you later, I'm sure they'll look beautiful in them, I can't wait for them to be born!" He spoke quickly due to the happiness that flooded his chest and Zayn thanked him. Both curly omegas left the place in the direction of the stables and left Louis and Zayn alone again.

"What was all that about, Zayn? Don't think I didn't notice what you did." He said with annoyance in his voice.

"We can't take any chances, Lou, we don't really know the Mendes yet, and just because Niall is courting Shawn doesn't mean we have to give him away our trust."

"But they gave us a son as a sign of his loyalty, you can't go around distrusting everyone, say less getting rid of them." The atmosphere had become tense and both were using a low tone of voice to avoid being heard .

"And trust everyone? Hey, what could go wrong with that? Because the last time I remember giving someone the benefit of the doubt, Harry was kidnapped, and I'm not going to let our information leak out into the world that easily, from now on our business is between us." His words were rough and annoyed, Louis kept his jaw set as he looked the omega in the eye.

"And what about Harry? Is he also not trustworthy?" The blue-eyed alpha questioned, and the omega let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Harry gave his loyalty to us and to our mafia the day he bled on that ring, and he showed it again when he was kidnapped, he could have traded his freedom for information, but he didn't, and he did it again the day he put your stupid ring on his finger and let you bite him." He said with a little bit of anger showing in his voice. "They're two completely different scenarios, so don't compare Harry to a complete stranger, and until I see a bleeding ring on Shawn's finger I won't trust him." They looked at each other. They stared for a few seconds, neither said anything but it was more than clear that they were both upset. "Now, if you don't mind nor have something to say or complain about my decisions like you always do, I'd love for you to get off that useless alpha ass of yours and get to work. I don't have all day."

Saying that, the omega stormed out of the room, bumping into Louis' shoulder with his arm, and just like he said, he went back to work.

☺☻☺☻

Shawn and Harry went out to the stables accompanied by three security guards, a bit of an exaggeration if they asked the green-eyed, after everything that happened to him he wasn't going to complain much, but he would certainly ask Louis what all that was about.

"So, Shawn," Harry began to speak, the omega looked at him attentively as two of the guards brought out two horses, "How old are you? I didn't get a chance to ask you, but your father told me that you're still in college."

"I'm twenty years old." He replied with a smile, Harry's eyes widening in surprise.

"I thought you were younger, I'm twenty-one, twenty-two in February." Shawn nodded and they got on the horses.

"I thought you were older, have you finished college yet?" Shawn asked as they slowly made their way around the house.

"Here the educational system is different from that of America, so I'm done, I have a law degree, ironic, right?" The green-eyed man mocked himself, and they both laughed. " And what are you studying?"

"Several things, actually, I'm studying communication at the university, and apart from that I'm doing a degree in languages online." He announced with a proud smile. "I feel that these are careers that can be used for business, my father always hoped that I would take over when he retired or... you know, but now with this I don't know if the plan will be the same." His smile faded a bit and Harry looked at him compassionately.

"I'm sure it will be like that, I don't think he expects you to just be Mr. Horan and stay by his side like a pretty omega, much less Niall, I know he can be a bit silly sometimes, but I assure you that he will respect any decision you make," replied Harry with a small smile, "besides, I don't think they are dumb enough to waste all the knowledge you're accumulating in college, I think you're very smart, Shawn."

"Thank you, Harry. I can call you Harry, right?" The green-eyed omega nodded.

"Only if I can call you Shawn." Both omegas laughed and continued riding for a while.

"You have a beautiful house," Shawn said, looking ahead, where the forest was, "when I was little I always bedded my father to buy a castle, I can't imagine what it felt like to grow up here. It must have been amazing"

"Me neither." Harry sighed, getting off the horse. "Want to explore around a bit? And maybe I can even have tea served for us, here in the gardens. Oh, has Niall told you about the party yet? We can go shopping later, if you want." Harry proposed quite animatedly, Shawn was beginning to feel quite comfortable with the curly haired.

"If you want me to accompany you, of course." He accepted with a small smile.

They started walking around the house, Harry told him where everything was and they talked about everything and nothing at the same time, that was the beginning of a great friendship. When they went through most of the house, they decided that it was best to have dinner in the garden, since the others were quite busy with work, they served them some fruit with yoghurt and some tea at the garden table, in front of the field of roses. .

"And how do you feel about all this? If it's not too intrusive to ask." Harry muttered as he raised the edge of the cup to his lips. Shawn sighed before speaking.

"I'm fine, actually I always knew that I was probably going to end up marrying some powerful alpha, and I'm glad it's Niall and not some other millionaire old man who would only bite me and have me as an ornament in his house." He replied, pretending that It was a joke, but Harry definitely wasn't amused.

"What do you mean you always knew?" Harry asked. "Did your father already have plans to marry you?"

"No, no," Shawn answered immediately, "but one thing he always spoke to me about was that sometimes you had to make certain sacrifices for the business, and I always kept that in mind, but I never had an example as clear as when the Mr. Malik revealed that all this time he had to hide his true nature because they were not going to take him seriously if he didn't.

"But regardless of all that, how do you feel about marrying Niall? Are you comfortable?"

"Well... Niall is cute," a slight blush appeared on Shawn's cheeks, who tried to hide it by drinking some of his tea, "it's fine, he makes me feel comfortable. I'm glad it's him, we've already talked a bit and I have some confidence in him. If I have to... give him puppies one day, well, what better than the little ones having good genes, right?"

"Shawn, it's not your obligation to sleep with him, or for him to bite you, I even bet that if you want to say no at some point, everyone will respect your decision." Harry assured, taking Shawn's hand.

"It is of the utmost importance that the bloodline of the people in power be maintained, it is not as easy as deciding if we want to have puppies or not, at least not in this lifestyle, there will be enough of a problem the day I take Niall's last name and my father's mafia is no longer Mendes, but Horan," Shawn explained, with his head down, "even Niall told me that it was not necessary for me to tie us together, but if I want to be taken seriously being already matched, he has to bite me, otherwise everyone is going to ask why a bite doesn't join us."

"And what do people care about? Shawn, you're not obligated to do anything, and if you decide to end it, I assure you that I and even Zayn are going to be the first to support you." Harry reassured and the younger man nodded with a small smile.

"Thanks Harry. But let's change the subject, why don't you tell me about Louis? The rumours about you are very strong, but I'd rather hear the story from you than from some stupid mobster who doesn't know what he's talking about."

And with that invitation to talk about his alpha, Harry began to tell him his entire story with Louis, from that beautiful coincidence of his childhood to that point, he answered Shawn's doubts, and he could notice that special shine in Harry's eyes when he talked about what he had with Louis, and he had no doubt that they had built something beautiful. When they struck eleven at night they decided that the best thing was to go back inside the house, since Harry already felt Louis insist through the bond that he missed him, the green-eyed boy accompanied the minor to his room, and happy with the new friendship he had created that night, he entered his room, where a blue-eyed alpha was already waiting for him.

"Are you okay, honey? How was your day?" The alpha asked, leaning in to give Harry a kiss.

"Well, Shawn is very nice, I hope he manages to adjust well in the house," Harry answered as he hid in his alpha's neck, "but why so much security and hurry with me escorting him around the house?"

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about." They both sat on their bed and Louis took Harry's hands, gave him a little kiss where he had the ring and looked into his eyes. "Zayn doesn't trust him very much, and I've been thinking about it and he's right, so much has happened and we have to be a little tougher about who we put our trust in."

"But he's going to marry Niall," Harry pointed out with a frown, "eventually he's going to bleed on his ring and from what he told me, he's going to let himself be bitten by him, isn't that enough?"

"Darling, we have been with them for no time, and Mendes practically gave us his son, what if it's some kind of plan? We can't trust him if he doesn't have the ring on his finger."

"That's stupid," Harry snorted, pulling out of Louis's grasp, "I've been talking to him all afternoon, Louis, and you know what I saw? A kid, a very scared kid, because now he's going to be living in a house full with a bunch of strangers, he hasn't even had much of a chance to get to know Niall, and they're already engaged. If instead of talking behind his back you just talked to him and got to know him better, I assure you that you would not distrust him so much."

"Harry," Louis sighed, trying to touch the omega again, but he moved away, "you can't so easily place your trust in someone just because you like them."

"Get to know him, please, and then you'll judge him, you can't consider him a traitor, terrorist or murderer if you haven't started a conversation with him." Harry stated.

"Harry, please, I don't want to argue over this. It's not that important." Louis murmured in a weary tone.

"Good, because neither do I." He took Louis's pyjamas and handed them over. "You're going to sleep somewhere else, I don't want to sleep with you today."

"But Harry..."

"But nothing, run before I kick you out." The omega opened the door and signalled to the alpha to go out, which he did, with his head down.

Harry slammed the door shut and walked to the bathroom for a quick shower. He was too tired, first the car ride, then the ride, and now his argument with Louis. He looked in the mirror for a few minutes, and when he came out and looked at the mark on his neck, he had never argued with his alpha like that and he felt bad about it, but he wasn't going to allow everyone to make false accusations about Shawn if he was one of the only people in that house who was trustworthy.

He put on his pyjamas and lay on the soft sheets of the cold bed, his omega yelled at him that he needed the warmth of his alpha and he could feel the sadness that Louis was sending him through the bond, but he I had to ignore it. Finally he fell into a deep sleep, he felt like his body was just beginning to relax when his thoughts filled his mind, a terrifying scene made him wake up, he had dreamed that he lost Louis, it was the first time he had slept alone since the kidnapping and he did not consider the consequences that could bring him.

When the curly-haired man returned home, he decided to hide every memory of what happened in a locked trunk, he would not allow himself to live in fear and feel threatened by what had happened to him, on the contrary, he made a promise to himself that h e wouldn't let anyone go through the same this as he did, but for that he needed to start getting more involved in mafia affairs, to have a position as an employee again and not just as the boss's omega... and for that he needed Louis.

He looked at the clock on the nightstand and it said three in the morning, he sat on the edge of his bed and stretched out his arms to finally stand up. Regret was the emotion that he felt as if it were his own, loneliness was what had disturbed his dream, and his alpha feeling all that was what made him walk through the dark corridors of the house under the gaze of guards with flashlights on. her hands. Finally he stopped in front of the door of the blue-eyed office, he didn't hit the wood because he knew that the alpha was awake, his blue eyes looked at him with confusion but there was a spark of happiness in them.

"Don't say anything and come with me, I'm still upset but I can't let you not sleep all night because you have to work as soon as the sun rises," he said hoarsely and leaned against the door frame. The alpha was looking at him from the chair in his office, where he had spent the last four hours trying to sleep without being able to, "come on, let's go to sleep." He stretched out his hand indicating the alpha to take it, Louis stood up and he walked up to him to take his hand and start walking to their room.

He couldn't lie, he was embarrassed by the position he was in, but he would try to talk to Shawn to get to know him better if that's what Harry wanted, but not right now because he still had too many things to do that he was afraid he didn't even have time to hang out with his omega like they had been doing. They entered the room and lay down on each side of the bed, the omega turned around to turn his back on him and Louis did the same, he wouldn't hug him knowing full well that his omega was upset with him, and even though it hurt, he had to leave him be. so as not to cause any more trouble, but Harry's arms encircled his waist and he felt his breath on his neck.

"I'm sorry," he said softly, taking Harry's hand in his, "I think I got carried away with the argument I had with Zayn and didn't fully analyse the situation, but I promise I'll talk to Shawn and try to figure it out. But, please try to understand it, although I would also like you to understand the position of the mafia in all this." Harry said nothing. "When you arrived Zayn was already exaggerating with security, there was a guard at every corner and that led us to lose control of the people who listened to our issues, then we lost you and that made us analyse things from another position," his words were calm but he spoke with nostalgia when remembering everything that had happened, "that's why now Liam works so much with security, because when the main crown of a mafia of our sice is worried, we all are, and I murdered the main crown of another really big mafia for you, and that caused us problems that we didn't need, and now we had to make a deal with the Mendes so that the stayed out of our way of expanding the business, even though we make it look like we want him as a partner, and he offered us his son as proof of his loyalty. Every single thing of these past months has made Zayn lose his trust in strangers. Try to understand that, please."

The explanation that the alpha was giving Harry made him see both sides of the situation, in a certain way they were entitled to distrust Shawn, but he had nothing to do with the deal and with his father's decisions .

"But we'll discuss this later, now you should sleep." He kissed the torso of Harry's hand and intertwined his fingers with his. "I love you, have a good sleep."

"Sleep well."
