Authors pov
She cleared her throat.
"But I accidentally killed her..."
"And all her powers transferred into you..."
Nicolai completed her sentence.
She sighed.
"Yes... I got her powers which I never wanted. I became immortal and the most powerful witch in the world who was a human in the beginning. Carlos escaped as he understood that he can't fight now. I had his and Victoria's powers which was very dangerous for him. "
"Tragic... But cool you got all the powers..."
"It wasn't cool..."
She shook her head.
"I couldn't managed both the powers. It felt like there was a battle going on inside me and that caused me alot of physical pain. I wasn't strong or capable enough to handle it. My body got overburdened by it..." Nicolai turned her and now she was lying on his chest as he kissed her forehead and wrapped his hands around her.
"I can't say I understand how you felt but I can understand the pain you suffered..."
She could tell that Nicolai was thinking about his terrible childhood which she didn't wanted him to think.
She placed her hand on his hand and smiled at him.
"I survived... My father was there with me..."
She didn't said mother, it would have scratched his wounds.
Nicolai smiled back.
"Aren't father's the most important person in our life... I have a great father, he gave us a new life when everyone abandoned us... What did yours do to save you?..."
Serenity admired how much respect Nicolai has for Robert.
"I couldn't control my emotions. My sister started loathing me saying I did it on purpose and that I am selfish. I killed Victoria so I could have her powers and at the some moment I started thinking like that too. She was manipulating me which was very dangerous because it was affecting my surroundings. My sister and father had a very bad argument in which he slapped her..."
"Wise decision... I must say your father was a smart man..."
Nicolai chuckled. She gave him a stern look. "Sorry please continue..."
"After that she left us, our family and father didn't bother to stop her. My mother was a mess, our family was falling apart and it was affecting me emotionally which was directly affecting my surroundings... I was afraid that I will loose myself in this and become like Victoria or Carlos. I didn't wanted to become like them, they were evil. Father understood my misery and then he trained me on how to control my emotions, I made them as a centre of my power so I could save the human part of mine. 'One part of you is human Serenity, never forget that you are someone whose identity is beyond these powers...' were my father's exact words... Decades went in blur and I witnessed my parents getting old and leave this earth. They could have easily followed the path of my grandmother and achieved immortality but they didn't. They believed in the cycle of birth and death... It wasn't easy to stay alone after that..."
"Glad you made it..."
Nicolai stroked her back as she relaxed on his chest.
"Your father seemed a nice man, I am sure he must have been very proud of you... What about your sister, didn't she come back..."
He asked but she didn't replied. Nicolai looked at her and she was already asleep. He smiled looking at her sleeping form and pecked her lips.
"I guess... It's enough for today..."
He slowly lifted her up and placed her on the bed. He slide down beside her and pulled her closer. He wished that lucifer and Vincent could be here but lucifer was not in a stable mind after his and serenity's argument. Vincent was taking care of some business which they ignored in the last few days.
Serenity snuggled closer to his warm body. Nicolai covered themselves with blanket and fell into a deep sleep with her in his arms.
In the morning Vincent came into the room and saw Lucifer staring at something, he followed the direction of his eyes and saw Serenity in Nicolai's arms. Vincent tapped lucifer's shoulder and sighed. "Bastard knows how to make his way..."
Lucifer's eyes filled with sadness. "How does he always manage to do that... And she doesn't even want to see my face..."
"Lucifer it's not like that... Maybe it's our fault, look at Nicolai, his way to handle her is far more different than us. Father is right we should change our ways with her..."
Lucifer just nodded with sad eyes.
Nicolai heard the whispers and woke up lazily. He saw his brothers glaring at him and he grinned mocking them more. 'Take it rude asses...'
With nicolai's movements Serenity woke up too. Nicolai smiled at her and she smiled back. Her eyes darted towards the other two brothers and she saw hurt in their eyes which pierced her heart too. She didn't knew how to handle three men at the same time and how to treat them specially a man like lucifer who himself don't know what he wants.
She cleared her throat awkwardly and hurriedly walked towards the washroom.
His brothers glared at Nicolai and he raised his hands in surrender.
"I swear I wanted you two here... I didn't thought it will work but it did..."
"You fucker... Don't forget we share her..."
Vincent threw a pillow at him and he ducked it.
"Yeah but I found out her past... She told me, not everything but plenty of it..."
His words made the brothers stop.
"Bark..."
Lucifer ordered. Nicolai told them everything while serenity was getting ready for the day.
"So it's her cousin Carlos who attacked her that day..."
Vincent asked.
"Yess..."
Nicolai nodded.
Serenity walked out and saw the brothers already ready in their suits. She stared at their handsome forms and the brothers smirked. She was wearing a long floral dress which covered most of her skin. "Let's go... You must be hungry..."
Nicolai said.
"Uhh... Actually you go ahead. I'll join you soon..."
She said with a nervous smile. She looked out of the window and gulped on her saliva.
Lucifer placed his hands in his pocket and cleared his throat to grab her attention.
"You can find snakes in my garden... No need to go in the forest now..."
She looked at him with shock, did he read her mind.
"O_okay thank you..."
She tucked her hair behind her ear and walked out from the room.
"How did you know what she wanted..."
Nicolai asked.
"Isn't it obvious Nicolai... She did the same thing yesterday in the forest..." Lucifer said annoyingly.
Nicolai narrowed his eyes.
"How did you know... I was the one following her not you..."
"You were not the only one..."
Vincent gave him a mocking smile and lucifer smirked.
"Bastards you were following us too... Not fair man, you got to tell me..." Nicolai yelled as his brothers ignored him and walked towards the dining hall. "Good morning dad..."
They wished Robert in unison and completely ignored the protectors getting the same reaction from them.
"You and breakfast?..." Vincent asked.
"Well I am just here to welcome her... Afterall she is family now..."
Robert chuckled.
"Are you guys talking about me..."
They heard a feminine voice and the triplets clenched their jaw while Robert shifted uncomfortably in his seat. The protectors frowned looking at her.
Eliana smirked as she walked towards the table..
"Hello robert... Nice to meet you again..."
She kissed his cheek and he forcefully smiled at her.
"Who are these handsome men..."
she looked at the protectors while they just glared at her.
"What the hell are you doing here Eliana... Don't you have some self respect..."
Nicolai sneered.
"Well I am here to see your mate... I heard quite impressive things about her. And Robert__"
She turned towards him while Robert just stared at her.
"I hope you haven't forgotten your promise... You promised me the title of Queen and I won't let you break that just because they found their mate..."
Robert stood up from his chair anxiously.
"We will talk about this later Eliana... For now just go from here, trust me you won't like what will happen next..."
He tried to warn her while the triplets were anxious too thinking how Serenity will take it. She will get more mad after learning that Eliana was suppose to be their fiance.
"What's the rush... Robert. Let's see what the hybrids got. The mate they have waited for so long. Hard to believe that she is more powerful than me... Come on, no one is powerful than me. Eliana said arrogantly.
They heard the clicking of heels on the marble floor and Robert closed his eyes as he saw Serenity standing there.
Eliana slowly turned around with her mischievous smile and looked at Serenity who was standing there with a smirk which looked far more evil and cunning than Eliana.
Eliana's eyes widened and all the colours from her face drained looking at her.
"Serenity?..."
Her voice got stuck in her throat.
The hybrids got alert, how did Eliana know Serenity.
Serenity's smirk widened at her reaction.
"Hello sister..."☐☐☐☐☐☐
