Erika slowly tip-toes towards her daughter's room like a ninja but a yelp that escapes from her mouth ends her dream to be one when all of a sudden Gio opens the door and steps out startling her.

"What are you doing?" Gio asks her in amusement once he closes the door lightly and turns to face her.

"Is she dead?" Erika asks ignoring his question.

Gio just shakes his head and wraps his arm around her shoulder pulling her along with him as he walks towards the kitchen.

"She is perfectly fine, just like all the other times she has fallen asleep, nothing alarming" he replies once they enter the kitchen.

"Ah well, guess I don't have to wear a black dress now" she hums jumping on the counter ignoring Gio's glare her way.

"You are a mother Erika; it will be nice to see you being nice to her every once in a while" Gio sighs as he washes his hands.

"It's not my job to be nice to her, someone has to be evil in her life else it's no fun" Erika grins wickedly.

"Is that so? But I think I did heard someone getting emotional and talking things out with her daughter" Gio teases her looking behind his shoulder towards her.

"I knew it, see that's why I don't want to go all mushy and soft," Erika grumbles while he laughs her way.

"Relax; it was my mother who told me you two made up. I have not exactly got around to, sit and talk with Engel" he defends his mate.

"How can you when she keeps falling asleep on you, poor you I bet your death will be before her and the reason will be blue balls...

You and I, we both have the worst luck in mates I tell you. I can understand how hard it must be for you to hold back, I mean I am a girl and I could not hold back with my mate...

I wish I could help you with this one, you should do something already Gio before she permanently becomes a sleeping beauty, if you wait on Enzo or Eric to find a cure, forget it...

I wonder where the fuck is Eric anyway, son of the awesome Erika has been out of contact for so long, I do not even remember the last time I heard his voice...

I wonder how he looks now that he is all grown up, damn this is so sad now that I think of it both of my kids I do not even know how they grew up, just as my mom did not know how I grew up...

I am the worst mother in the whole world and it feels awesome" Erika grins at the last statement making Gio roll his eyes.

"You are one of a kind" he chuckles as he wipes his hands.

"Of course, being a loving, caring mother sounds so overrated, I hate kids cannot even curse in front of them" she shrugs her shoulder swinging her legs in the process.

"But from what I remember and heard you were good at looking after me when I was a baby"

"Ah then the answer must be you, I gave all of my love and dedication towards you as you are and will always be my first child" she smiles sweetly.

"Damn woman, don't get all emotional on me" Gio scolds her playfully before wrapping his arms around her for a hug.

"Don't worry; you are also the reason why I hate kids and got the trauma from looking after you that's why I didn't get to be a part of my children's childhood" Erika points out making him laugh.

"You always have to ruin the moment and blame others for everything right?" he asks her shaking his head.

"Of course as we all know I can do no wrong"

"Yes, yes. Well, can you look after Engel while I am gone?" he requests of her.

"What will I get in return?" she asks curiously.

"She is your daughter"

"Yes, but you are not"

"I swear, sometimes...fine what do you want?" he sighs giving in, as he knows she will leave Engel all alone if he did not agree to her demands.

"Well, I need you to find someone for me, her name is Adriana and she is a virgin just like me"

"Wait...wait...how the hell are you a virgin?" Gio asks her gobsmacked.

"Well, I only had sex with one guy"

"Yes, we all know who that guy is and that also means you are no longer a virgin for god's sake you have two grown up kids" Gio shouts outrageously

"So, in my head I am still a virgin because I only had sex with one guy" she shouts in return and Gio gives up on her as he knows there is no use in fighting with her.

She will believe what she has to and everyone else has to believe what she believes in else there will be a different kind of war.

"Okay, fine...whatever, so this girl can you tell me more about her?" Gio sighs as he asks her about Adriana.

"I just know her name is Adriana and she is a virgin with capital everything and she is blonde" Erika informs him.

"It will really be hard to find a girl with only that much description, do you at least know her surname?" he asks remembering the little information she gave him.

"Why would I ask her surname it's not like I was going to ask her hand in marriage or anything, you are a vampire with connections why is it so hard to find a girl...jeez" Erika sighs heavily before jumping from the counter.

"Take my advice, just mate her already and enjoy whatever times you both have together also turn her into a vampire like you, her chances of being a werewolf are none...

Now, that I think about it, may be it will make her all her sleepiness go, I mean when I was injured and could not wake up Enzo bite me and turned me into a werewolf, so chances are that it can cure her too" Erika advices him as she speaks her suggestion out loud.

"Eri" Gio whispers as he thinks about it.

"What?"

"May be you are right, damn why did not we think about it before, may be it will work if I turn her...

I mean my blood may work as an antidote for her, damn Eri you are a fucking genius" Gio laughs as he holds her shoulder shaking her a while before he hugs her.

"I am...of course I am a genius" Erika grins proudly as she hugs him back.

"I will go talk with Enzo about it as, gosh this is great if this work then everything will be great," he laughs happily, as he goes to walk out of the kitchen.

"Awesome, I knew there was some talent within me; damn if this works shall I open my own bureau in the werewolf department to give people advice...

Of course, I should, oh Eric will be so jealous when he finds that I was the one who found the cure if it works" Erika keeps talking to herself.

"Poor Eric, first he lost his mate and now he will loose with you as well" Gio cannot help but comment with a chuckle.

"Wait...what?" Erika shouts as soon as she hears it and Gio curses realizing his mistake.

*******

"Eric lost his mate, Eric as in my son Eric lost his freaking mate?" Erika shouts distraught as she goes to stand in front of Gio not letting him pass through her.

"Eri, I was not supposed to say it"

"Start spilling Gio" Erika warns him but he refuses.

"Okay, fine as the mother of your mate I forbid both of you to meet or even mate" she threatens him and just like that he gives in.

"Remember Ariel, it seems she is Eric's mate I don't know the whole deal but she even went to live with him for few weeks but now she is back...

It seems that she does not..."

"Stop...I think I have heard enough. So, Ariel as in red-haired Scarlet's, red haired daughter Ariel right, who is my son Eric's mate?" she asks him clearly and he nods.

"Ahhh....oh my god Gio, do you know what today is?" Erika asks as she shouts all of a sudden in excitement.

"No" Gio replies a bit skeptical now.

"It's a day you all get a new council leader; I am a fucking council leader, awesome. Woohoo....I am going to rule this fucking world and crush Dante...

Boys" Erika celebrates before she yells for both the twin as she leaves the house with Gio standing in the kitchen doorway scared not knowing what he just did.

*******

"What is this meeting for?" Sam asks as he stares ahead of him towards the men in the room for answers.

"We will know once Dante arrives" Rom answers as he checks on his wristwatch.

Reese looks at her sister sitting next to her quietly; she nudges Nicole a bit asking her what she was thinking but before she could answer, Dante enters the room.

"Sorry for the wait" he sighs as he takes the head seat before starting the meeting.

Everyone stares at him shocked as he has never said sorry for being late for anything to them so whatever it was this was not a good news.

"Everything alright" Reese is the one to ask first.

"No, everything is a mess; actually I just got thrown out of my house by my own mate when I told her we have twin sons.

"You have twin sons?" Sam gapes at him.

"Yes and it seems he has been creating some messes going around acting like Devilin while I do not have any clue where Devilin was...

Anyway, let's start this shit" Dante sighs deeply before he goes to open his mouth but stops when all of a sudden the door to the room opens with a bang.

Every one of the members in the room gape at the view in front of them, Rom wipes his eyes and blinks few times not believing what he saw.

"What...what's the meaning of all this?" Ryan asks too stunned as everyone else in the room.

"Hello beloved council members, I hope you did not forget about me" Erika speaks before she laughs loudly.

*******

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?" Dante bellows, as he cannot believe what he was seeing.

Erika in all her glory actually arrived inside the room sitting in a freaking throne while the Antonio's twins were carrying that throne on their shoulder wearing an Egyptian dress, which looked like a skirt.

Erika nips on the grape she had on her lap as she laughs evilly staring at everyone's shocked face, she claps her hands and the boys slowly put her throne down.

"What did you think just because you did not speak anything about my son being Ariel's mate that I would not find out about it?

Ha! Fellow shit looking males of the council and literally the witches in here I am from here on the leader of the council, bow down to the queen," she laughs once again.

"I don't think so"

Dante scoffs as he walks to where she was but stops as Erika claps her hands and the boys stand in front of Dante stopping him.

"Do you have any clue that you are disrupting a very secluded council meeting and that if I say you will all be executed?" Dante asks the boys before his eyes lands on Erika who was happily eating the grapes.

"Listen, Mr. Dante I know this seems totally outrageous to you, I mean fuck this, even we four know this is ridiculous but that woman sitting on the throne is our aunt...

Even if you have the power to execute us that is not as scary as what she can do to us if we did not do as she asks us...

So, please let her think she is leading the whole thing okay" Archer talks to Dante as politely as he can.

"And if I don't" Dante asks the boys staring straight in his eyes.

"Then we will have no choice but to make you do it" Archer states as all of the playfulness leaves him as well as his other brothers.

"Do you have any clue, who am I?" Dante asks.

"Yes, my fucking bitch because you lost the bet, if you don't remember the bet we had a few decades ago in which you clearly stated that if my son Eric happens to be Ariel's mate then you will hand me down your position as the council leader...

And now I came to claim it, so bow down to me" Erika interrupts as she sits on the chair side ways and swings her legs happily.

"Seriously, Erika it's not time for you to play around in here, you two can do this later. Things are messy in here right now," Rom tries to interfere and stop them before they hurt anyone.

"No, no way am I doing this later and things are messy because you all are messed up wait till I claim my position and then things will be different" Erika whines as she folds her arms and pouts.

"Enzo is on his way" Ryan speaks as he puts his phone away.

"You....you are fired" Erika shouts pointing a finger at Ryan who just smirks her way.

"Fuck you all, this is so fucking unfair, Dante you said it" Erika fakes cries.

"Your tears do nothing to me and anyway you should check things properly, it's my son who is Ariel's mate actually"

"Devilin that Devil shit"

"No, my second son Devon"

"You have two sons?"

"Yes and it seems whatever that Eric and Ariel felt for each other was only an infatuation I am sure will go away so it's me that won the bet not you...

Now, take your clowns and yourself away from my sight" Dante grins while Erika fumes.

"No way, Ariel said that my son was her mate first, so that means I won," she argues.

"But in real it's my son who is her real mate"

"Who cares, the thing is she said my son was her mate, is it my fault if the girl keeps changing her mate...

I still win the bet as it was clear between us that whoever she claims as her mate first wins and everyone knows it is my son she said is her mate" Erika fights back not giving in.

"Piglet" Enzo voice makes her slump on her throne still pouting while everyone in the room visibly relaxes.

"I am not stepping a foot out of here until they all bow down to me" Erika pouts just as Enzo stands in front of her.

*******

Enzo shakes his head as he looks at the throne in the room as well as his nephews dressed up he does not know whether to laugh, strangle his mate or kiss the fuck out of her.

"Babe, no one is allowed to be inside this building, I don't even want to know how you even got in but we need to leave"

"But I won the bet, Ariel said my son was her mate first long before he produce a new son out of nowhere just like that...

I am not leaving till I am the new leader of the council," she argues with him avoiding any eye contact with her mate.

"You do know how ridiculous it all sounds? Now, come on let us go back home and talk this out and let them all deal with whatever they were doing before you disturbed them" Enzo tries to talk her out of it but she just shakes her head no.

"But...no, I am not moving if it means killing everyone in here then so be it" she finalizes with determination.

"Oh right like we will just let you kill us" Dante scoffs impatiently.

"Dante, Dante, Dante don't just scoff as if you know everything, do you see my boys in here...

I know they all look pretty but when shit hits the fan they are my most deadly weapons so if I were you I would trade well" Erika states serious all of a sudden which suddenly brings a chill to everyone of the men in the room.

"Is that a threat I hear" Dante asks equally serious.

"Direct one" Erika agrees as she stares right in his eyes.

"Challenge accepted" Dante agrees as he was more than ready to rip someone off with all the stress he was in.

"Dante, Piglet, both of you need to calm down. Piglet, we are going home" Enzo tries to interferes.

"Sorry, Uncle seems like tiger just gave her words no going back" Aldrich grins as he stretches his muscles.

"No one is fighting in here, get the fuck down, boys and go home right now," Enzo orders, but they all just grin already wanting to fight.

"Enzo, do you still want a few more kids?" Erika innocently asks him as she tugs on his shirtsleeves.

"Well, I won't mind but its okay if we don't but why are you asking..." Enzo does not get to complete it as a groan escapes from his mouth and he slowly drops on the floor.

"Sorry" Erika apologizes for hitting him where it hurts the most.

Enzo's eyes rolls back as he clutches his nuts and try to breathe properly.

"Show time" Erika shouts before the boys all go into their attack mode.

*******

Rom is the first one to react as soon as the boys advance he throws Ace away and he slams into the wall.

Alec is the next one who targets Ryan they both slam into at each other at once and start to throw the blows. Ryan grins as he punches Alec in the face before he digs in his talons on the boy's arm.

Aldrich stands in front of the witches and grins as his brother fights with Dante.

"Hello, Ladies I think it will be better if you stay out of this one" he suggests and both the Ladies back down not because they could not handle the boys but because they are smart enough not to get involved in their stupid play.

While everyone is engaged in the fight Sam along with the witches stay out of it.

"I am going to put you in the pit of hell so deep that you will..."

"Can we just cut the dialogue crap and already start hitting each other?" Archer sighs bored.

"You little shit" Dante curses as he goes to attack on Archer who easily dodges all of Dante's punches.

Dante grins as he enjoys the game before he pulls out a ball of fire and throws it right on Archer chest, which he easily dusts off.

"Woohoo, go, go, go my power rangers" Erika cheers on jumping on her throne.

"Power rangers" Reese asks looking around.

"Yes, power rangers...boys" Aldrich calls and the four of them stop and start doing the power ranger steps.

"Here come the Power Rangers

Here come the Power Rangers

Here come the Power Rangers

All right lets go, it is time to turn it on

Set the record straight, we're going to come in to right the wrong

Fight evil, Ranger powers standing strong

We got it going on

Mystic Force"

They all sing along to the song as everyone stands stupidly and stares horrified.

"What the fuck is going here?" Rom asks stunned.

"Is this even real?" Ryan whispers as they boys sing and do some hands movement while Erika claps her hands and cheers on them.

"You got to be shitting me" Enzo curses as he slowly stands.

*******

"Fuck this shit" Dante curses before he grabs Archer's neck and throws the boy in one of his portals before going to do it with others, as he was already sick of them.

"I think you missed it," Archer grins as he comes back opening his own portal stunning them once again.

"Who are they?" Reese asks in awe.

"We are the Antonio's the very first ones to share a direct bloodline with the royals themselves" Aldrich answers proudly.

"I will be glad to finish it" Dante replies as he flies full force towards Archer and both of them go crashing out of the wall.

Taking the advantage of their distraction Ryan pulls out a punch towards Ace, Ace chuckles as he takes hold of Ryan's hand and twisting it back while he holds Ryan's neck and goes to pulls his head off but Rom pounces on the boy.

Rom slams Ace into the wall vigorously slamming his head on the wall before the boy looses his consciousness.

Seeing it Alec tries to go to his brother's aid but stops when Ryan kicks him in his guts and he goes tumbling down.

Alec growls as he gets up from the floor and runs towards Ryan they both crash into each other and holds each other's throat, with a growl Alec tries to loosen the grip of Ryan but fails.

Aldrich reaches for his brother attacking Ryan from behind before he knocks Rom down with the back of his elbow.

While the four of them tries to win over each other Dante and Archer comes crashing through the next wall leaving a big hole.

Enzo checks on the unconscious Ace before he goes to pull Alec off Rom back before he bites Rom's neck.
