Authors pov

The hybrids send one of their maid with them and told her to get serenity's every belonging in the castle. Yes all, not like they are going to let her go now.

The maid was stunned looking by the Protectors behaviour. They were treating her with so much respect like a total gentlemen. She wasn't used to that. She instantly got a crush on them which they could read on her face. Luca cleared his throat and she looked away blushing.

"Leonardo will escort you back miss... Please go with him..."

He said and she nodded with a shy smile.

Serenity saw Nicolai and Vincent talking something in foreign language which she didn't understand at all. They were sitting on the sofa and she was getting bored. She has not seen Lucifer since this afternoon after she talked to her brothers. She got up but a strong hand gripped her wrist.

"Where?..."

Vincent asked.

"Let her go brother, she must be bored..."

Nicolai said.

"Go kitten but be careful and don't get lost..."

She smiled at Nicolai and went outside.

"You are being too soft with her Nico..."

Vincent gave him a stern look.

"Yeah because you and Lucifer are being too rude. You can't use the same way to approach her like we did with everyone. First we have to make her comfortable with us..."

"You will spoil her... She needs to listen to us, we can't let her go all bratty on us... We need her submission..."

Vincent argued.

Nicolai rolled his eyes.

"Oh come on... She is so innocent, she can't be a brat even if she wants to be..."

"She haven't got her powers back. She has lost her memories... For now she is no less than a 5 year old child Nicolai, she can be moulded now based on how we treat her and you are just spoiling her..."

"I am not spoiling her, I know where to draw the line. And I don't regret using soft ways with her, because of this she is more comfortable with me than the two of you. She is our mate and we have to treat her good..."

Vincent sighed.

"I know and I think like that too but I am just saying that don't spoil her. Do it but in your limits..."

The brothers kept arguing while serenity was roaming in the hallway, looking at big paintings hanging on the shiny walls. Every inch of the castle screamed royalty and prestige.

Suddenly a chocolate scent grabbed her attention and her eyes found Lucifer standing near the window. It was open letting the moonlight enter the castle. His hair was dancing with the cold breeze, they were on top floor of the mansion so it was quite windy.

Lucifer's hand were hidden in his pockets while his attention was outside the window looking on their kingdom. His face was cold and emotionless but she noticed the hint of sadness in his eyes anyway. He was looking somewhat sad.

She didn't understand why she was so good in reading the triplets face but it was good considering it gave her the confidence to be with them.

Lucifer jerked back from his trance when a small hand tapped on his shoulder. He turned around and found her standing there nervously.

His eyebrows furrowed for a second in confusion but he was quick to hide it. He didn't expect her to approach him. Afterall he scared her before and he was regretting loosing his temper like that. He should have been a bit gentle while scolding her but whom was he kidding. He was already far more  gentle with her as per his nature.

"Thank you..."

He was stunned after reading her gestures.

"For saving me in the garden... I should have thanked you before but..."

She trailed off.

"You should have been careful..."

His rough voice still startled her.

"I know... I am sorry, I don't know what happened... I didn't realised, it was so fast..."

He stared at her hands as they swung in the air.

Her expressions was guilty because she thought Nicolai and he had an argument because of her childish behaviour.

Lucifer's hand found it's way on her cheek and drew a lazy circles there while she was enjoying the little sparks it was erupting in her body.

"You are so innocent..."

He didn't realised when those words left his mouth.

She just looked at the handsome creature in front of her. Lucifer switched there position, now she was leaning against the wall and his large frame was trapping her against it.
