Serenity was about to leave but as soon as she reached the door, it got slammed shut. She gasped when Vincent grabbed her arm and turned her around to face him.
She hissed when he grabbed her sore arm too roughly. Vincent doesn’t know that she is weak and his powerful grip is gentle for him but not for her.
He looked at her eyes when they glowed with his touch. His heart hurt when he saw his mate after so long. Serenity looked at him with straight face but she was in pain too.
Vincent looked at her till his eyes satisfy. He gently touched her hair and leaned forward to drown in her divine scent.
Serenity closed her eyes when his nose touched her neck and sent waves of sparks in her body. Her mind was becoming foggy with his alluring scent.
“What are you doing here?”
He asked and her eyes snapped open.
Lucifer and Nicolai was standing there with crossed arms letting Vincent question her.
Serenity gently pushed his hands away and turned around to leave without replying him.
Vincent frowned and clenched his jaw. He grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the door.
He dragged her in the middle of the room and made her face all three of them.
“You have to answer us, serenity… What the fuck are you doing here?”
He growled.
Serenity kept her face calm, she wasn’t going to answer their questions. She doesn’t own them anything.
“Aren’t you the most powerful in this campus, then why the fuck are you living like a servent?”
Vincent questioned madly.
“Why are you not ruling this world? Isn’t that what you wanted?”
They were growing impatient as she refused to open her mouth.
Nicolai grabbed her hand and saw it.
“You are not healing, why?”
He questioned impatiently.
Serenity jerked her hand back from his hold and he clenched his jaw.
“If there is something, then please tell us… We have right to know”
Lucifer said and she internally scoffed. When it was to listen, they didn’t and now, after hundred years they are here to listen. Which right he is talking about.
“What are you trying to prove by doing all this?…”
Nicolai questioned.
“Serenity we need answers… What’s happening to you and what happened that day?”
Vincent questioned.
“Can you open your fucking mouth”
She clenched her jaw and glared at him.
“No i don’t want to open my fucking mouth”
She snapped at them. Her sweet voice didn’t sound sweet anymore.
“I don’t think there is anything to question and answer now, when you have already decided that i am guilty hundred years ago… I am living my life the way I want and you three have no right to question me”
She glared at Lucifer.
“I don’t want to prove anything to anyone… I don’t care what you three think about me”
She looked at Nicolai.
“What’s happening in my life is my problem, you are no one to question me because we are not mates anymore… Remember?”
She said as they refused to take her as their mates.
Vincent clenched his jaw.
“As a King, I order you to answer our questions”
He demanded.
She scoffed on his face.
“Sorry to disappoint you, your majesty but I am exiled from your mighty kingdom… You are not my king anymore, and this place is out of your territory… So I don’t own you anything…”
She said bravely on his face.
“Only one question, serenity… Did you really killed our daughter?”
Lucifer asked.
Serenity looked at him disappointed. They have already punished her for this. for hundred years she is suffering from unbearable pain. Now she is close to death so what’s the use of digging into the past. She has no desire to prove herself innocent, neither she wants to earn their trust back. If she told them that she didn’t kill Angel, that she is dying by becoming human again then they will definitely try to save her and she doesn’t want that. It might heal her body but can’t heal her soul and broken trust. The way they have insulted her love is hard to forgive and forget. She is tired of her life now, she wants this to end.
“Yes I killed her”
She said looking straight into his eyes.
“I killed her because I was jealous of her, I wanted her powers. I wanted to rule the world… I never seen her as my daughter… Is this enough?… And i don’t think i should answer you about my personal life. Why am I here? What am I doing? What’s my motive?…”
She gritted.
“If you think i am here to watch you suffer and how mighty kings are broken inside then may be you are right… I want to see you suffer, that’s why I came here… What are you going to do about it?… Hate me? abuse me? Or kill me?”
She challenged.
“Do anything you want because I am not afraid of you”
Hybrids stood there stunned but for some reason they couldn’t believe in her empty words. Her lips were venomous but they can clearly see the pain in her beautiful eyes.
Then why they couldn’t see this same pain hundred years ago, where they really blinded by Grief and anger or there was something else behind it.
Vincent smiled bitterly.
“If you wanted to see us like this then i think you would have come here like a queen not servent”
He said and serenity gulped.
Suddenly they heard a knock on the door and principal entered.
“Good morning your majesty… I hope i haven’t disturbed you…”
He said with sincere voice.
“I came to ask your well-being…”
Serenity sighed in relief when he interrupted their conversation.
“I’ll take your permission now, your majesty.”
She said and walked out after greeting the principal.
“I am sure that you must be comfortable now that finally Sera has finally decided to take care of this work.”
He said happily.
“She is a very good girl, I am sure she won’t give you any chance to complain”
Hybrids looked at him with raised eyebrows.
“Good girl you said?”
Nicolai asked.
“I would love to hear more about that lovely lady… She is indeed a good in her work.”
They wants to know about her recent life.
“Of course… I think she deserves these praising. She is very hardworking, she came here five years ago and became a volunteer… Since then she is working day and night without taking rest…”
He praised.
“I have never been so impressed by any volunteer… I am sure you have noticed too, that she has different aura which is very safe to be around… She has been very sweet towards her coworkers, she helps everyone…”
“Five years you say?”
Vincent asked. He knew that she is lying.
“Yes, five years…”
He replied.
“Was she alone? I mean no three brothers or any family?”
Lucifer asked wondering where is the luca, Silas and Leonardo.
“No, no… No one… She was alone… But she was stronger back then. I don’t know what’s happening to her but Sera is not well…”
He said and their eyes snapped towards him.
“What do mean by not well?”
Lucifer asked scared.
“Not well means… She was stronger when she came here. She is a witch but she had impressive power, I have never seen her asleep or tired but now a days she gets tired very quickly… I asked her about her health but she didn’t tell anything. I even offered her help, may be I could heal her but she refused saying that no one can heal her… Infact she was leaving yesterday but i refused to let her go… I am worried for that pure soul.”
He told them and Brothers looked at each other confused and scared.
