Icarus Rose [TRANSLATION]

Chapter Sixty

Four hours earlier.

Blows from tiny hands were what woke Liam and Zayn, their little pups were already more than awake and ready to start the day. Zayn went straight to his office, as he still had some pending before breakfast, but not before, of course, kissing his alpha.

"Good morning, Malik here, is everything in order at the entrance?" Liam began to check in with the guards at the entrance like every morning, his voice was still a little hoarse because he hadn't quite woken up yet, but a cry turned his attention to his son. "Why are you crying, my beautiful prince?" He said changing his tone of voice to a friendlier one and walked up to take his baby in his arms.

He put the walkie-talkie down on the small dresser and completely forgot that he hadn't received a response from the guards at the front gate.

Answer that he would never actually have because the only ones who had witnessed that message had been the crows that flew in circles over the house, being the messengers of death and witnesses of the corpses that lay at the entrance of the mansion.

Three hours before.

Alphas and omegas had started their day first thing in the morning, donning their signature matching black suits. Breakfast had already been served at the dining room table and the family was sitting in silence, feeling the same tension that everyone had perceived the day before, even Barbara, who in the most tense moments was able to lighten the atmosphere, was silent that morning.

Little River's crying broke the gloomy atmosphere of the family moment, discomfort from lying in the little bassinet that Jane had given them when she was born was what had caused that crying; Harry stood up and went over to his daughter to pick her up and calm her down, since if she kept crying the twins would second her.

"I'm going to take the twins to the playroom," Liam said suddenly, getting up from the table and placing the napkin that was resting on his lap to the side of the plate where he was eating. He approached the chairs of his sons and lifted them up, finally before leaving he looked at the green-eyed omega "Will you come with me, Harry??"

Said nodded and took River's bottle from the side of Louis's plate and placed a soft kiss on the top of his head before leaving the dining room following Liam in silence.

The others continued eating for a few more minutes, Zayn checking his phone from time to time and Niall playing with one of his rings under the table. Hardly anyone touched their food, and they all exchanged brief glances from time to time.

"Omega, we have to go, we're late for the ultrasound" Niall announced as he left his napkin on his plate and stood up, Shawn nodded and they both left, but not before thanking the omega who was standing next to the door leading to the kitchen in case they needed anything.

The dining room fell silent again, only with the sound of plates being removed and cutlery crashing against the fine porcelain of the house's dishes, all of which only made the omega's hair stand on end.

"Guys, I'll go shopping, I won't be long." The omega announced and withdrew, even though it wasn't her job anymore, she liked doing it.

Zayn quietly got up from the table, leaving his napkin on his plate and retreated to his office while he stared at his phone screen, and minutes later Louis did the same.

The beginning of the end.
