Authors pov

"Dad... How was she back then..." Nicolai asked curiously.

"Friendly, bubbly... Someone who could make you forget all your grief..."

Robert smiled at old memories.

"She doesn't look like that anymore..." "Vincent sighed.

Robert nodded in agreement.

"Time changed everything my son... And people around her used her for their benefits which has changed her... Specially the people who were supposed to be her Everything..."

"Where is Arthur... Why didn't she meet him by now. The way luca described him he seemed to be very important for her..."

Lucifer sneered. He was already planning how to kill Arthur painfully.

Robert laughed at his expressions.

"I think Luca has not told you the whole story..."

The hybrids frowned at that.

"Serenity had created her pets because she couldn't become a mother..."

Robert declared and it broke the hybrids heart.

"Sad... I know. The venom inside her body didn't let a life survive in her womb. So she created them instead of giving birth to them. Luca, Silas and Leo were her small pups when I saw them for the first time and Serenity was treating them like their mother, actually better than any mother I have seen in my life. As they grew up they became powerful and stronger like Serenity as she was the source of their power. So her pets took the responsibility of protecting the people she loved and cared and that's how they became protectors. Serenity never created them with the motive of protecting someone, it just sort of happened with time..."

"Fucking liars..."

Nicolai growled.

"You three have to accept them... They are dear to her... And they know it which is why they behave like brats in front of you and sometimes others, only she can control them..."

Robert placed the glass and stood up.

"Okay... That's all I know..."

Nicolai stood up too.

"Where are you going?..."

Vincent asked him.

"To see where she is?... I am sure she won't be giving two fucks about us after how lucifer talked to her..."

"Proud of you my boy... Go for it..." Robert said overdramatically.

"You shouldn't have said those things to her... It was very degrading..." Vincent said to Lucifer.

"Why didn't you stop me then..." Lucifer spat annoyingly and left the room.

Nicolai jumped out as a big grey wolf and ran in the forest following her scent.

The air was fresh and chilly because of the rain caused by serenity. His paws stamped in the soil as he competed with the wind.

He stopped when he saw her, she was running deep inside forest cutting through the air. Faster than every supernatural he has seen till now. He could only see her blurry image but her scent was strong. He followed her but struggled to cope up as she long jumped from one tree to another.

Her hair was floating in the air due to her wind like speed.

Serenity landed on the peak and jumped down in the river. The grey wolf stopped on the edge and saw her disappearing under the water.

Nicolai howled at her and she came out to look at him.

His eyes glowed as he did not like the way she jumped without care, her eyes glowed back.

'I will be back... Don't follow me Nicolai...'

She mind linked him and again went deep into the water.

Nicolai turned around and went on a random hunting spree in the forest until he saw The protectors. They were playing with a rabbit and to his surprise the rabbit was playing with them too. It was weird to see tigers being this friendly with a rabbit. They saw each other but ignored as the grey wolf acted like he didn't saw them, giving attitude to each other.

Serenity roamed the forest the way she wanted and the way she desired. Swimming in the deep river, jumping on the high trees, racing with the wind. After being caged for decades she was finally free.

It was still dark night when she returned the mansion. She wasn't planning to but she promised Robert that she will give the triplets a chance.

She entered the bedroom through window.

"Is that how girls from your era used to behave..."

She saw a silhouette on the sofa in the dark room.

"Roaming carelessly in the dangerous forest and coming home like a savage..."

She looked at herself, she was wet from head to toe. Her shoes were covered in mud. Her hair looked like a sparrow's nest.

She saw Lucifer walking towards her from the sofa.

"Tell me... Is this how a responsible lady like you behave..."

He whispered.

Serenity ignored him as she turned towards the bathroom. Lucifer grabbed her arm and jerked her. "Don't you fucking dare to ignore me when I am talking to you..."

He yelled on her face and she flinched back.

Her back collided with a hard chest and Nicolai's masculine scent engulfed her. She subconsciously held Nicolai getting away from lucifer. Nicolai smirked as he wrapped his arms around her. 'believe it or not kitten, you trust me...'

Serenity unwrapped his arms and got away.

"I don't own you any explanation..."

Lucifer went closer to her blocking her between the wall and him.

"Yes you do... You were wondering around carelessly while your enemies are looking for an opportunity to hurt you and we... Your mates don't even know who wants to hurt you..."

She stared at him as he yelled at her madly.

"Are you scolding me because you were worried?..."

She whispered.

No one has ever showed this kind of concern to her.

Lucifer pulled away from her, he looked at her up and down for the last time and left.

Serenity looked at Nicolai who was literally eye raping her, she cleared her throat and went to the washroom.

She cleaned herself and when she saw her night clothes she scrunched her nose.

"Why do people wear these types of clothes in this century."

She inspected her skimpy night gown which the brothers added to her closet.

"Wierd people, wierd clothes..."

She huffed. She kept that nighty back in it's place and found something which is actually worth wearing. A white t-shirt and sweatpants.

"Okay... This will do..."

She walked outside just to see Nicolai lying on the bed shirtless. She halted in her place as her eyes found his six pack abs and tonned body. Serenity couldn't take her eyes off that Greek god who was actually her mate.

"Like what you see kitten..."

Nicolai chuckled in victory.

Serenity averted her eyes embarrassed and walked towards the sofa and sat on it. Nicolai sat up and looked at her.

"Aren't you going to sleep?..."

She shook her negatively without even looking at him.

Serenity opened the magzine which was placed beside the sofa just to pass some time. She felt the sofa dip behind her and rough hands snaking around her waist. She froze at the touch. "What are you doing Nicolai..."

Nicolai slowly dragged her closer to his chest and placed her head back on his chest. He didn't like her stiff back against his torso.

"I don't like it when you give me silent treatment kitten... I love your voice, please talk to me..."

She was the first girl in front of whom Nicolai was pleading like that and he was the first man making her feel something different. Something good in all this bad situation.

"I am sorry... I am so sorry for what I did. I was angry, sad and disappointed. I wasn't thinking straight. I had no idea that it could hurt you. I promise you I will never touch any woman from now on... Please forgive me kitten..."

"It's okay... Let's not talk about it..."

Her body slightly relaxed and he leaned his back on the side of sofa, they weren't facing each other but they could feel their heavy breathing.

"Why do you call me kitten?..."

She asked softly, fiddling with her fingers.

Nicolai smiled slightly. She was initiating the conversation.

"Because when I saw you for the first time you were like a kitten. Scared because you ruined Lucifer's clothes and too cute that I could eat you whole..."

"Why do you always come to me first... You could behave like Vincent and Lucifer but you don't..."

She asked hesitatingly.

"Because even though we are triplets we are different. Lucifer has locked himself in the darkness. Vincent don't like to came out in the light and show his true self to people. And I have accepted both... I have both sides but for you I will always be the good guy..."

His words brought smile on her face, she couldn't help the flutter in her heart.

"You look beautiful when you smile kitten. I love your dimples..."

He whispered near her ear and drew lazy circles on her arm.

"I have answered your questions now it's your turn..."

She shifted uncomfortably on his body but he didn't loosened his hold. "Don't worry I won't bring up a topic which will hurt you... You can stay quiet if you don't want to answer..."

She nodded.

"Okay... What do you want to know..."

Nicolai exhaled deeply which she felt on her back. She couldn't believe that she was turned on just by the little intimacy they were having.

Nicolai could smell her arousal and it was making him hard too but he wanted to know her past and it was the perfect time. He didn't wanted to miss the opportunity so he controlled himself.

"Who where you back then?..."

He finally asked.

"HUMAN!..."

She answered and his eyes snapped towards her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
