Icarus Rose [TRANSLATION]

Chapter Thirty Three

On Friday night, all the partners were gathered in the party room of the house, they were all quietly waiting for the announcements that the three crowns of Icarus Rose had to make, since that was the reason for that meeting, in which the only ones to attend were Icarus Rose's associates and their family, in meetings of this type it was forbidden to take minors because sometimes they touched on very sensitive topics.

Louis had promised the morning after the argument to talk a little more with Shawn, Zayn and Liam were working hard on improving the security of the house and at night enjoying their time alone, the alpha loved it when Zayn lay with him, especially when he had one of his shirts on, revealing his beautiful tummy that was already beginning to show, and talking to the twins about how happy everyone in the house was and that they were looking forward to them, sometimes he liked to tell them about how much he loved all three of them, and despite the fact that Zayn had already told him that they couldn't hear him yet, he didn't dare break the illusion with which he leaned into his belly to talk to their puppies and give them little kisses. Shawn and Niall had had time to go out a couple of times, getting to know each other a bit more and gaining confidence, Shawn could already make fun of Niall every time he stumbled and Niall already allowed himself to hold the omega's hand every time he was going to guide him somewhere, and one day before the party, Niall gave him a beautiful gold-plated engagement ring, with a small white stone adorning it, as he had explained, so they wouldn't ask so many questions that the omega would probably be very uncomfortable answering, and Shawn appreciated it.

Then the three crowns came out, taking their partners by the arm and showing themselves very proud, they knew the power they had and none of them hesitated to show it, Harry and Louis in matching suits, the omega in a cream-coloured suit and a green and grey cover-on on top, and the alpha in a suit of the same colour, but with stripes on the jacket and a tie of the same green as Harry's cover-on, while Zayn wore a pale pink suit with the jacket open, a small bulge could be seen on his belly, which he proudly showed, Liam held his hand wearing a completely black suit, Shawn wore a navy blue suit with green lapels and the shirt open, exposing his entire chest, but no one dared to look much for Horan stood beside him, imposing in the navy velvet suit, Shawn had accused him of spying on him because of that.

"Are you spying on me or why do you wear clothes the same colour as mine? Go change, they're going to think we're clingy, like Harry and Louis, they wear matching everything. Ugh, you know what? We're already late, forget it." They held hands and began their way to the event room.

And there they all were, under the watchful gaze of the guests, their eyes drifting from the mark on Harry's neck to Niall's hand on Shawn's waist, not quite knowing what to say.

"Welcome once again to our home, dear partners," Zayn called out for better hearing, with a smile, "as you know, we have some big announcements from the three main crowns of Icarus Rose, and I'm pleased to announce the first one." He unconsciously put one hand to his stomach and with the other squeezed Liam's hand. Mr. Payne and I are expecting not one, but two puppies, which we hope will be born healthy."

A horde of applause filled the hall, some even shouting congratulations, even though they knew it was simply because Icarus Rose already had an heir secured.

"The second big news is that Mr. Styles is officially my omega, and I hope he gets the respect he deserves as such." Louis announced with a proud smile, hugging Harry a little closer to him, Harry smiled shyly and waved at the presents by hand.

"And as a last bit of news, I'm pleased to announce my engagement to Shawn Mendes, son of our new partner Michael Mendes, Swallow's boss." Niall took Shawn's hand and raised it with a small smile, as they had agreed that no one else should know that it was a planned engagement, Shawn also smiled, imagining that he was doing it out of love and not for business.
