Nicolai heard the screaming noises from outside, serenity was fast asleep after he fed her. He was quite relieved that she was trusting him and proud that amongst the three he was her favourite.

He walked outside in the living room and saw the person he hates the most in this world, his grandmother Elizabeth. She was glaring at his brothers and they were growling at her, lucifer was ready to kill her. "I knew that you three will do nothing but put shame on our family..."

She accused.

"You are no one to say that... Get out of my house."

Vincent growled.

"Careful boy, don't forget who I am... And I will go but not before meeting your mate. You three want a fucking filthy human as your mate, what the fuck is wrong with you..."

Her voice boomed in the hall.

"Shh... Don't fucking shout with your irritating voice, our mate is sleeping your screeching voice will wake her up..."

Nicolai said sarcastically.

"And last time I checked you are not our father to ask us about anything."

"Robert himself will throw her out..."

She scoffed.

"We will deal with that, it's none of your fucking business. Stay away from our mate..."

Vincent stepped forward threateningly.

"Our mate?..."

She scoffed.

"Do you even know the meaning of that word. You three are monsters, you love no one but yourselves. I heard what happened this morning, looks like you don't need enemies you yourself will hurt her afterall how much can that weak human take of you three's anger. Let's see how long she will stay with you all. I am sure you will kill her and if you don't then I will..."

She winked and Vincent grabbed her throat but Elizabeth used her powers and within seconds she was out of his hold.

"You three can't win against me. Don't fucking try me..."

She said arrogantly, looking at them disgusted and turned on her heels.

Serenity was sitting in the mansion's garden, looking at those beautiful swans.

"Do you know an interesting thing about swan...'

She heard Vincent's voice and turned towards him, he was sitting beside her and she didn't even knew.

"Don't worry I am not here to hurt you..."

He sounded guilty.

"Do you know when swan loses it's mate, he dies along with it's partner too due to heartbreak.."

She looked at him, the thing was interesting but disturbing.

"They can't live without their mate and so do we..."

He stated while she kept looking at him.

"I am sorry serenity... I know I was wrong but..."

He sighed.

"I don't know how to explain myself, I never did this. It's just I don't want to loose you, we want you to give yourself to us, trust us. I know I have hurt you and I am sorry... Please don't hate me, I need you..." He pleaded. She didn't said anything, just listened.

"You must be thinking that we are monsters..."

His eyes watered and she got alert.

'Why do they get affected by the word monster...'

"We are not monsters serenity..."

His voice broke as he remembered Elizabeth's words.

Serenity couldn't take it anymore, her heart broke along with him. She engulfed him in a hug and he clutched on her like a child.

"I am sorry for whatever happened my love... Please forgive me..."

He said still hugging her.

***

Nicolai saw serenity and Vincent playing in the garden. He didn't understand what they were doing but they seemed happy, he relaxed knowing that Vincent must have sort things out with her. It was so surprising to see Vincent laughing like that. Whatever happened this morning, it startled them. They now know that Elizabeth will hurt her, serenity is not a human but without her Powers she can't survive in this supernatural world, the trio has to protect her.

Nicolai walked towards them and they told him what they were doing.

"Not fair kitten, I want flower too..."

Nicolai pouted.

Serenity plucked another rose and handed to Nicolai just like she did with Vincent.

"Thank you... Do you wanna collect more flowers?..."

He asked and she nodded.

"Okay go..."

When she got busy, Nicolai looked at Vincent.

"So finally___"

Nicolai stopped talking when he felt a burning sensation in his hand, he looked at the Rose which he was holding and his eyes furrowed. The bloomed rose was now dead and it slowly catched fire. The same thing happened with Vincent and they quickly threw the burning flowers.

"What the fuck?..."

They looked at serenity who was still plucking the flowers with her bare hands.

"Kitten... Give that to me and please go inside, I have to talk something important with Vincent..."

She nodded giving bunch of flowers to Nicolai and ran inside.

They saw her disappearing and looked at the flowers she plucked. The flowers slowly lost their souls, started burning and turned into ashes. They turned towards the plant from which she had plucked the flowers and the same happened with the plants.

"What the fuck is this ?..."

Vincent asked in disbelief.

"How can she burn things down with just her touch... Who is she?..."

"Is that why her brother made her wear gloves everytime..."

Nicolai looked at Vincent.

"Yes they knew... That's why they did..."

"Does it work on people too. What if she scratches someone..."

Vincent asked.

"She scratched me... Nothing happened..."

They turned towards the third voice, lucifer.

"Because her powers won't work on us, we are mates..."

Vincent rolled his eyes.

"And what the hell are you doing here..."

Nicolai gritted.

"Don't you know brother our lucifer likes to stalk our mate... But don't have the guts to apologise to her..."

Vincent scoffed. Lucifer ignored them and walked outside.

Nicolai dusted his hands which was filled with ashes and walked inside along with Vincent.

Serenity was sitting in the living room with kaya when she saw the triplets coming. Lucifer stepped forward to talk with her but she got scared, her hands quickly reached for Nicolai and she clutched on him refusing to look at Lucifer.

'This is why I told you, be gentle with her...'

Nicolai mind linked and his brothers looked away in guilt. Lucifer let her be and walked away.

"It's okay kitten, he won't hurt you again..."

Nicolai assured her and kaya's mouth almost touched the floor listening nicolai's voice, so gentle and loving. She never knew that a man like him can talk like this too.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
