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.
