Belongs to us novel Chapter 22

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 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.
