Chapter 22: 22) Exactly where she belongs!

Authors pov

Serenity packed her bagpack and head downstairs where her brothers were sitting.

"You ready princess..."

Luca asked when he saw her. He took in her clothing and hummed in satisfaction like a typical big

brother. She was wearing black jeans and a simple pink top, nothing fancy at all.

She nodded positively on his question.

"Good and you remember what I said right?... Wear your gloves and no matter what don't take them

off. You understand..."

He again reminded her and she nodded. It was still a big puzzle to her on why her brothers always tell

her to wear gloves while doing anything, she had her doubts but everytime she shrugged it off thinking

maybe they are being overprotective.

A car honked from outside and grabbed their attention. Silas walked her outside.

"It's Vincent..."

Silas declared and she looked at him shocked on how he managed to tell who it is through the tinted Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

windows of the expensive car.

Vincent saw her and came out of his car. He gave her her a sweet smile and took her bag and placed it

in the backseat.

She waved goodbye to Silas and Vincent helped her to sit in the passenger seat.

Vincent's happy expression turned into sour when he heard a voice in his mind.

'A scratch on her and I will slice your throat open. I am not considerate as my brothers...'

It was silas. Vincent's eye met his green one.

Silas was glaring at him and Vincent mimicked his actions, there eyes glowed threateningly at each

other.

'I should have sliced your throat open when you took our mate away from us...'

Vincent closed the car door with a thud and was too confused.

How did Silas manage to mind link him, no one else was able to do that or is suppose to do that except

his brothers and now their mate.

He shook his thoughts aside and looked at his cute mate, he smiled looking at her as his car roared to

life.

"So you excited love..."

He chuckled.

"Super excited..."

She grinned. It was her first individual task and she was eager to explore this opportunity.

"Good..."

Vincent smirked.

He was driving the car and she was occasionally glancing at him, she tried to look out and distract

herself telling her that it's wrong to check out someone but it was out of her control.

The man beside her was in a black shirt with rolled up sleeves, his coat resting in the back seat. His

veiny arms, neatly trimmed and styled hair and deliciously toxic scent was playing with her mind.

While she was debating herself about what is wrong and right, Vincent was enjoying her stares on him.

The feeling of getting stared or checked out by her mate was kind of naughty for him and reliable too as

it was proof that he has an effect on her.

A sound of finger snapping dragged serenity out of her trance.

"We are here love, we can play the staring match later, I won't mind..."

Her face turned crimson red on realisation that he caught her gawking at him. She embarrassingly

turned around to open her side of the door but Vincent grabbed her arm and jerked her towards him.

As soon as she heard his sexy husky whisper her insides started melting.

"Don't be embarrassed love, I like your beautiful eyes on me. Just next time be a bit careful as I am a

very impatient man specially when I have someone beautiful like you in front of me."

His lips were dangerously close to hers. He placed a light kiss on the corner of her lips and she closed

her eyes as she felt tingling sensation in her stomach like thousands of butterflies dancing there.

"Let's go, shall we..."

He chuckled at her reaction and she looked away shyly.

He opened the door for her like a gentleman and she stepped out. Her mouth dropped looking at the

castle in front of her. She was so busy staring at Vincent that she didn't realise they are now in the

middle of a forest.

The castle was ridiculously big and not to mention very dangerous to stay as the chances of wild

animals attack were high but it was beautiful and mind-blowing.

"Come..."

Vincent held his hand without hesitation and started walking. She looked at him flabbergasted but he

didn't bother to explain it.

A mini waterfall beside the mansion grabbed her attention with some swans playing in the pond in

which the waterfall disappeared. She was confused if it is real or artificial because it was incredible.

"It's original..."

Vincent confirmed as he saw her expressions.

Her eyes widened at his declaration.

"And the swans are nicolai's pets. He is kind of a bird lover..."

He continued.

"It's beautiful..."

She confessed still looking at her surroundings, it felt like she is in heaven. But only if she knew that

they are devils who are staying in a heaven like palace.

"Took you long enough brother..."

Nicolai's voice came out calm but Vincent didn't missed the hint of annoyance in it which made him

smirk.

Nicolai rolled his eyes and looked at serenity.

His lips turned into smile, without wasting any time he hugged her and kissed her cheeks making her

mouth drop open.

"What? that's how friends greet each other kitten... Get used to this..."

He teased and chuckled at her red face.

'Why are these brothers so different...'

She touched her cheek were she was still feeling the effect of his kiss.

Her eyes automatically started to search for the third one, Lucifer was nowhere to be seen.

Surprisingly it disappointed her, she wasn't supposed to feel like that for an absence of a man to whom

she hardly knows.

A weird sense of relief rushed through her body when she saw Lucifer appearing from one of the door.

He smirked looking at her, she was standing between his brothers exactly where she belongs.

"Glad you came beautiful..."

Lucifer placed a kiss on her knuckles making her squirm under his intense gaze.

"Let's go I'll show you the garden..."

He said and lead everyone.

Serenity was looking at them confused, she was thinking that the garden she saw outside is the one

she had to take care of but in contrast the brothers were leading her inside the mansion. They crossed

god knows how many doors and hallways, by now she had forgotten the way to go back. The castle

was like a maze.

She didn't even realised that Nicolai is now holding her hand. The beauty of the castle was alluring to

her.

Lucifer showed her his secret garden and her jaw nearly touched the floor, she had never seen a

beauty like that. Well 'never' means in last one year of her memory.

"It's beautiful..."

Lucifer chuckled placing a finger under chin he teasingly closed her mouth.

"Don't open your mouth like this baby..."

He was leaned down to her level and she gulped nervously on his dark whisper.

'Baby?'

She looked beside her but they were alone, Nicolai and Vincent were nowhere to be seen now.

The brothers had left them alone, every brother needs to have a fair share of time with their mate.

Lucifer instructed her on which part she has to work and serenity was too excited. She quickly wore her

gloves and started working while Lucifer was admiring her, he wasn't a talker like Nicolai neither does

he have any idea on how to initiate a conversation with a girl. Till now he had only fucked girls and

that's it nothing more than fuck.

He got a call and went outside, while serenity was doing her work. So lost in her task that she didn't

realised that a snake was clinged on the nearby creeper. It was so close to her face, that when the

black snake made a hissing sound her head snapped in that direction making her aware of her

circumstances.
