Icarus Rose [TRANSLATION]

Chapter Twent Three

The corridors of the house were empty for the first time in a while. The chocolate-eyed alpha walked to the backdoor to join all the guards who were waiting impatiently near the stables.

It was Monday morning and the cold of December was beginning to hit the last weeks of November, the snow threatened to fall any day but that was not going to prevent the training that Liam had planned throughout the week from taking longer.

"Good morning everyone," he greeted the guards as he approached without looking up from his notebook, "as you may already know..." He looked up and met the gaze of an omega with curly hair. "Harry... What are you doing here? Where is Louis?"

He looked around, looking for the alpha who seemed nowhere near them. Harry rolled his eyes and sighed.

"I don't need Louis for everything, besides, it's mandatory training for all security." He said with a firm voice. Liam laughed and walked over to him, putting his arm around the omega's shoulders and leaning close to his ear.

"But I'm not going to fire you, Harry." He whispered with a smile and walked away from him under the watchful eyes of the other alphas. "So I was telling you that I've been planning this training because of the events that have happened."

Liam began to walk in front of each alpha, analysing them with a threatening gaze. They all kept their eyes fixed straight ahead and their backs rigid. Liam had always been feared by the employees of the house, although he was a good man, he tried to show another side of him in the eyes of others so that they would understand that he was in a higher position and they should respect him, in addition to the obvious fact that he was the boss's alpha, although nobody knew it.

"Let's start with a simple warm-up. I want you to run ten laps around the garden, follow the path to the forest and continue." He ordered and they all started running.

Harry started to hear a few chuckles as Liam walked away from him, trying to ignore them and keep up with the pace he had set when he started running, but it got harder as Bristol and his entourage of moron alpha moved closer to him.

"Really? Mr. Payne is also in your nets?" Bristol crooned before whistling, Harry rolled his eyes and quickened his pace.

"Come on Styles. Are you so ashamed of being their bitch?" Shouted another alpha and the others began to laugh out loud. Harry's eyes began to fill with tears, he had begun to have memories of the many insults he had heard while he was kidnapped by the other mafia. However, he preferred not to say anything and continued with his training.

"I can almost hear what you're going to do to Mr. Tomlinson to stay in the house. Do you also sleep with Mr. Horan? Mr. Malik? That's probably why he keeps you stuck in his office. You are Icarus Rose's little slut."

He wiped the tears that threatened to fall down his cheeks, already making it difficult for him to see, Liam realised that something was wrong and began to subtly approach. But Harry stumbled and fell to his knees, right in front of Bristol and company, who soon began to laugh at the omega.

"Hey! What are you looking at? You're supposed to be warming up, not chatting or laughing at each other. MOVE ON!" Liam yelled, and they instantly quickened their pace, leaving Harry on the ground and with tears in his eyes. Liam held out his hand to help him up. "Everything okay, Harry?"

"Yes, everything is in order. I didn't notice that there was such a big stone in front of me." He answered, trying to hide the desire to cry. He took Liam's help and got up. "Thank you."

He smiled and walked away, now jogging and looking better at the road. The alpha frowned and preferred to follow them closely, because he knew perfectly well that something was not right, and of course he found that the other alphas were making noises and unpleasant comments towards Harry, who was trying to evade them. He knew that he had to do something, and he had to make sure that those alphas knew their place.
