Authors pov

Serenity didn't wait for a second, she freed herself from lucifer's hold and ran downstairs towards Robert like her life is depended on it.

Serenity threw herself onto Robert and he was quick to catch her and engulf her in a hug. Robert's bonecrushing hug didn't bother her instead she tightened her hold around him.

Her eyes were full of tears and she didn't mind to stop them. Robert's eyes were leaking with blood tears as he cried on her shoulder.

The hybrids stood there dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why their father and their mate was hugging eachother like long lost lovers. It was the first time they saw tears of their father.

They were not ready to pull away from each other but after few minutes they did. Robert pampered her whole face with kisses except her lips.

The hybrids blood filled with jealously and their wolves growled in anticipation which grabbed their attention.

Robert ignored them and never took his eyes off her.

"Where have you been?... I searched for you the whole world sera... How could you just vanish like that, you know how much I needed you here with me. One thousand years, how could you?..."

So the special person because of whom their father left for search last year was none other than their mate.

Serenity wiped his blood tears and cupped his face.

"I love you Robert..."

She smiled at him sadly.

"I hate you... I hate you for leaving me alone... For betraying me, for making me search for you like a madman..." He complained as he hugged her again.

"I never left you... I never betrayed you Robert..."

Her voice broke and they heard thunder roaring from outside.

"Don't cry... We don't want to face a storm now... Do we?..."

Robert chuckled.

"Will someone explain what the fuck is happening here..."

Lucifer asked as they came downstairs and looked at serenity and Roberts reunion.

Serenity's mouth hung open as she finally realised.

Her eyes snapped towards the Robert.

"They are your son?..."

She stated more like question.

Robert looked at her confused.

"Yes... They are..."

She looked at him in disbelief.

"How... You are a vampire..."

"It's a long story sera..."

Robert sighed.

"But why are you so shocked and lucifer..."

He turned towards him.

"Why were you manhandling her..."

He scolded Lucifer.

"Fath___"

"Don't tell me you three fucked up something... Dimitri told me that you are in trouble and that's why I had to come here like this. And let me tell you if Dimitri means trouble by serenity then God save you. What did you do to her... Do you have any idea who she is..."

Robert said madly at them.

"Robert..."

Serenity called out his name.

"No... Sera I am so sorry if they have done something... I apologise for them, you are not going to hurt them are you... They are my children..."

Robert said desperately and Serenity noticed how much he loves his children.

"Dad..."

Nicolai called him.

"Shut up you stupid boy..."

Robert glared at him which made the protectors laugh but they shut up when Nicolai glared at them.

"Dad... She is our mate..."

Vincent declared.

Robert froze in his place.

"Come again..."

"She is our mate..."

He repeated.

Robert's expressions turned into horror.

"What the fuck is this Serenity..."

He asked in disbelief.

"Where is he?.... Where is Ar____"

"Robert..."

She shook her head pleading him not to say anything.

Robert grabbed her hand.

"We need to talk... Now..."

"Dad..."

Nicolai stepped forward.

"You three stay out and let us talk..."

Robert made him shut up and dragged Serenity towards his room.

The hybrids looked at them as they went to room to have their conversation.

"Great..."

Nicolai ran his fingers in his hair.

"How do they know each other."

"Fuck that... do you realise that she is older than our father... Even our grandmother..."

Vincent cursed.

"So what... She is 19 years old and we are 28..."

Lucifer shrugged.

"Immortal years doesn't count..."

"She said she love him..."

Nicolai sulked.

"They are friends..."

Luca looked at them disgustingly.

****

"I am so sorry... I wasn't there for you..."

Robert said guilty when serenity finished telling her story.

"It's not your fault Robert you had your things to take care of..."

She smiled sadly.

"Now... Will you tell me how you got three sons... Hybrids?..."

Robert told her everything whatever happened back then.

"Call me selfish but I am happy that they got you as their mate... Lucky bastards..."

Robert chuckled.

"No... You shouldn't be too happy Robert. You know__"

She looked disappointed.

"I know... But... They are powerful unlike your___ whatever..."

He trailed off.

"They can stand beside you and protect you and this time it's not the other way around. They can be the men you deserve. I know my sons..."

"We are not good for each other... We are like___  like east and west. I am sorry Robert but they are nothing like you, they are evil..."

She sighed.

"They are not... This world made them evil... I thought you were good in reading others..."

He said sadly.

"I am sorry... I can't read them. My powers are not working on them..."

"That's something new..."

He said amused and somewhat looked like a proud father.

Robert told her how their mother treated them in their childhood.

"You know, I was the one who should be heartless, a cold blooded vampire but guess I had more humanity left in me than those who claimed that they are more like humans. When I saw my kids in that cage my heart broke, they were so tiny and cute. The part of me which I always wanted but couldn't have due to the curse my own mother put on me... They gave me reason to live my life again, they gave me meaning. I became the father of not one but three boys. I did rescued them but I couldn't manage to save them, they turned into evils just to hide their vulnerability from the world so no one could abuse them again and they saw it working. Seeing fear among the people makes them feel stronger and confident and as a selfish father I supported that..."

He looked at Serenity whose tears were flowing freely and it didn't go unnoticed by Robert that it has also started raining outside.

"When I saw them turning like that, I thought of coming to you so may be you could erase their memories and give them new life but I couldn't find you... They had a horrible childhood Sera that no child deserves... Their innocence were snatched away from them the day they came in this world."

Robert felt the bed shaking as he saw anger in her eyes. He knew that Serenity cares and Robert know that Serenity would have turned everything into ashes of she would have seen anyone hurting triplets.

"Don't destroy my room..."

Which brought her back from her trance.

She cleared her throat. "Sorry..."

"They need you sera... Please..."

"He will hurt them... You know the history Robert..."

"I know you can handle it... We are together now. I am with you, they are with you..."

He pleaded.

"And what about trust... MATE... This word doesn't hold that meaning in my life anymore and you yourself have experienced it by Catherine..."

Robert could understand how she is feeling right now.

"They were looking for their mate since they learnt the meaning of that word, sera... Everyone told them that maybe they don't have mate, maybe hybrids don't get mate but they never lost hope. They believed that you existed, their mate exists... Can you imagine how they must have been feeling after knowing that their mate doesn't want them after all this waiting. They might not show it but it did hurt them..."

"Robert__"

"No... Listen to me please. Just give them a chance, let them prove themselves. I promise if something happened again I myself will seperate you from them..."

Robert squeezed her warm hands in his cold one.

"You are behaving like a typical father... Never knew that king Robert has this side too..."

She smiled at him.

"Yeah fatherhood has changed me... It makes you more responsible..."

He agreed.

"So... What's your answer ?..."

He asked and Serenity could easily read Robert's mind. He was greedy to give his sons the most powerful woman in the world.

Robert knows how much power she has and how much love she can give to them. The love his sons always deserved. Robert was ready to do anything to change serenity's decision.
