Chapter 24: 24) Sleeping!

Authors pov

Vincent went outside and slowly closed the door behind him. He saw that the protectors and Lucifer

were arguing outside, in the living room.

"What's happening here?..."

All of them turned towards Vincent.

"We are here to take her back. We were wrong, you guys can't take care of her..."

Leo's angry voice boomed in the hall.

"What do you mean we can't take care of her..."

Vincent raised his eyebrows challenging them.

He looked at Lucifer who was standing there glaring at them with an angry face.

"Care to explain why she was crying..."

A furious Silas came forward with threatening steps but Luca held him back.

"She was crying because Lucifer scolded her and he didn't do anything wrong... She was literally

playing with a snake which was ready to attack her..."

Vincent argued.

"I am sure you three would have done the same. Afterall you three are her lovely brothers..."

"A snake?..."

Luca whispered and looked at his brothers who were looking back at him with knowing expressions.

"Yes a snake..." Vincent sighed but he didn't missed the look on their faces.

"And how did you guys know that she was crying?..."

"We know, we are the protectors afterall..."

Silas mocked.

"Silas..."

Luca warned him not to initiate a fight.

"Anyway we should take her home now. And I request you mister Lucifer to check your garden properly

before assigning her work..."

"That we will do but she is not going anywhere..."

Vincent interrupted.

"That was not the deal... She will stay with us..."

Leo argued.

"We don't trust you people..."

"Neither do we. She is our mate, she will stay with us..."

He declared.

"No way..."

Leo growled and within the blink of an eye he was in front of their bedroom. He didn't knew that it was

their bedroom he just followed her scent but the brothers noticed that he was too fast. Faster than a

vampire.

Everyone followed him and he opened the door and entered. The protectors mouth almost touched the

floor when they saw the scene in front of them while the hybrids smiled.

Nicolai had leaned back on the sofa, his arms were securely wrapped around serenity while she was

on his lap with her face nuzzled in his neck and her tiny hands on his chest. They were sleeping

soundly. It looked like a kitten is sleeping on a big wolf, they were looking cute.

"Is she sleeping?..."

Silas whispered in shock. Serenity haven't been able to sleep the whole year and Nicolai succeeded in

making her fall asleep just within seconds.

By their reactions Vincent was quick to understand that she might had some sleeping problems.

"Yes she is, now do you understand how much she need us. We might not have a lot of knowledge

about her but we can protect her and help her..."

Vincent stated keeping his voice low as he didn't wanted to wake them up.

"Now if you all would stop interfering we could really bring her powers back. That's what you all want

don't you?..."

His words surely shocked them but they didn't show it.

They walked outside leaving Nicolai and serenity in their la la land. They discussed about the situation

rationally specially Luca and Vincent because others were not so in the mood to discuss the matter

peacefully.

Nicolai woke up due to slight movements on his chest. He opened his eyes and saw serenity clinging

on him like a baby koala. He chuckled looking at her sleeping form, she was in a deep slumber. He

tightened his grip on her possessively and pecked her parted lips.

Lucifer and Vincent entered the room. Nicolai looked at them and grinned.

"Bastard..." Lucifer cursed looking at his devilish grin, he was teasing them afterall their lovely mate

was trusting Nicolai more. The way she hugged Nicolai when Lucifer scolded her showed that she is

more comfortable with him maybe because of his cheerful and friendly nature towards her.

'She needs to wake up... Her brothers want to talk to her...'

Vincent mind linked him.

'Tell them to wait, she is sleeping...' Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Nicolai shrugged it off.

'It's important...'

Vincent glared at him and Nicolai rolled his eyes.

"Kitten..."

He gently shook her. Serenity's face turned into disapproval and she snuggled more into his neck

wrapping her hands around his neck. Nicolai's cock hardened in his pants when her bottom rubbed on

it. A low growl left his mouth.

He slowly started nibbling on her neck and slowly placed wet kisses on her shoulder.

When serenity felt tingles and wetness on her shoulder she opened her eyes, she was still half asleep.

She looked at Nicolai who was feasting on her neck. She wiggled in his lap to stop him.

"Okay, okay stop moving. You weren't waking up so I used this way." He smirked and she looked at him

with a frown. Her eyes were slightly red indicating that she didn't get to complete her sleep. She

yawned and again placed her face on his shoulder lazily, enjoying his delicious scent.

Nicolai's heart fluttered at her actions. He always wondered how it would feel to have a mate, but now

when he is experiencing it in real it's like heaven for him.

"Love... your brothers are here they want to talk to you about something..."

Vincent sat beside them, she was still on nicolai's lap which Nicolai was enjoying so much. She raised

her head from his shoulder and looked at Vincent with her tired red eyes.

"Come on wake up now..."

Vincent kissed her cheek which made her blush.

She stood up and her eyes met lucifer's grey one. Her blush vanished and her expression turned into a

slightly scared and sulky one while Lucifer kept his face cold and emotionless.

She washed her face and came out of the restroom to meet her brothers, they were sitting on the sofa

while the hybrids were nowhere to be seen. Luca smiled looking at her and she smiled back.

"How was your 1st day here, princess..."

"Good..."

She didn't complaint about whatever happened. She knew that she was at fault too, she was being too

careless and Lucifer was right to scold her like that.

"We have to tell you something..."

Luca confessed and she sat down beside him while leo was standing near the window with a sulking

face and Silas was somewhat like him too.

"We have to take care of some work back in our hometown, we shifted here suddenly so we still need

to take care of some important work..."

She was listening to Luca carefully.

"How are they treating you. Are they treating you good..."

She nodded yes.

"We can't take you there, it's not good for your health so we have decided that you will stay here with

them until we finish our task there. We trust them, they will take good care of you like us princess..."

Her expressions changed.

"Did they agreed to keep me here... I don't want to become a burden..."

She asked.

"No they are perfectly fine with it, actually they are happy to do it. They are our friends so you won't be

a burden on them don't worry..."

Luca assured and she nodded hesitatingly.

"Just a matter of few days... We will come back soon..."

She looked at Silas and leo, they were still sulking not ready to leave her with the hybrids but as Luca

is the leader they can't defy his order.

"They are just upset... They don't want you to stay away from them..."

Luca answered reading her face.

Luca gave them a stern look and they sighed defeated.

"Yes... He is right we will miss you princess..."

Silas confessed. She smiled cheekily and hugged him. Silas stilled in his place, the person who was

hugging him was his master. No doubt they are her protectors and she treats them like her own life but

the hug was too much, she had never showed love towards them in this manner. Silas's white skin

turned into crimson red. The girl he admires and idealize was hugging him. He reluctantly hugged her

back and the blush didn't leave his face.

She pulled back from the hug and hugged leo catching him off-guard as well. Luca chuckled at their

reaction as these big strong men were looking cute while blushing. She hugged Luca too but his

expressions didn't change much, still Silas and leo noticed the shyness in his eyes.

"Take care okay... And if anything happens just call me..."

Luca patted her head and she nodded.

The protectors left the mansion and silas's face was still red and flushed.

"I never thought that master will hug us... I mean she is the kindest and loveliest girl I have ever seen

but still it's like my dream came true..."

"Yes, Me too but will you stop fangirling..."

Leo chuckled.

Luca shook his head while starting their jeep.

"Shut up boys... We are like kids to her, don't forget who we are..."

They nodded in agreement.
