5. Mate!

Author's POV

The triplets drove towards the place in their limo. All of them were sitting quite but for unknown reasons their hearts were restless. The cool and cloudy weather outside was peaceful but their minds were total contrast to that. 

Nicolai pulled out his cigarette to overcome the unknown feeling.

"Is it just me or you two are feeling the same..."

He asked impatiently shifting in his seat.

Vincent opened the two buttons of his shirt and took a deep breath.

"It feels like something is going to happen. My heartbeat is increasing..."

The unknown feeling was so intense that it didn't go unnoticed by Lucifer too. He was feeling the same like his brothers. He loosened up his tie and rested back in his seat.

"I just hope whatever is going to happen turns out good..."

Nicolai sighed.

The trio didn't realised that it was the mate bond and it was already so strong that they got the feeling from miles away. It was new for them, the feeling of a mate was new and unrecognisable.

Finally the car came to it's halt and the three of them came out. They stood there and looked at the abandoned castle. Everything was dusty and broken. The half collapsed wall was now home of various parasites and birds. Surrounded by big old trees and the land was covered by dry leaves. The place looked like a haunted house.

"This place is giving me the creeps..."

Nicolai took one last drag from his cigarette and threw it on the ground, crushing it with his leather shoe.

They walked inside followed by Dimitri. The workers hired by them were already working there. Cleaning the place and demolishing the remaining structure.

The manager came towards them and greeted them. They nodded in approvement without bothering to greet him back.

"Everything is going well sir, the land will be fully cleaned by the end of this week. But there is one problem..."

"What happened?..."

Nicolai asked.

"We have found a statue here and we tried to move that but it's not even moving an inch. I think we need machineries to do that..."

The manager lead the trio towards the statue. Each and every corner of that place was dry like desert. Even the big trees were on the verge of dying but this corner was unbelievably green, filled with green leaves and beautiful flowers like a whole other place which was hard to believe as it was just one corner of that palace. It was astounding that something like this could happen, it looked like something is keeping it green and alive or maybe someone.

Some workers were still cleaning the statue since it was covered in algae. Almost unrecognisable, they were trying to make out whose statue it is.

As soon as the triplets entered the place their senses filled with a divine scent, a smell of nature mixed with fresh honey. It smelled like thousands of flowers. Vincent didn't hear what the manager was saying, all his senses got filled by that divine scent.

He quickly looked at his brothers and they were kind of in the same situation. Lucifer's eyes were closed like he was devouring the scent.

Their Wolf's growled in unison.

"Mate..."

Three of them looked at each other.

"Find her..."

Lucifer growled.

The brothers started looking around them but they saw no woman there. Vincent and Nicolai were already running and looking around the broken castle impatiently.

Lucifer concentrated all his senses to their mate's scent. They checked the whole castel inside, outside everywhere but they found nothing. But the scent was driving them crazy, it felt like it was attracting them like a magnet but in every direction.

Finally Nicolai saw one female worker outside, Lucifer and Vincent quickly joined him. The girl's back was facing them, their hearts were beating like crazy. Vincent hurriedly walked towards her, he placed his hand on her shoulder and turned her around. She gasped due to the sudden jerk and looked at him frightened.

Vincent dropped his hand back and looked at his brothers. He shook his head and their eyes filled with disappointment. She was not their mate.

Nicolai growled loudly in frustration, so loudly that the workers flinched at their places.

"The scent was stronger inside, she should be there..."

Vincent said and ran inside. Dimitri was looking at his kings with wide eyes. He had never seen them this much impatient. They were searching for their mate like crazy persons.

"Where is she?..."

Lucifer growled.

They ran back to the place where they found her scent for the first time.

All the workers resumed doing there respective works seeing them. When they again reached that corner the scent got stronger.

"She is here, she has to be here..."

Vincent grabbed his hair frustratingly. He was dying to see his mate, for whom they have patiently waited for centuries. 

He took in his surroundings but everyone was working and no female was there. Half of the men were breaking the wall and few were cleaning the statue. They almost cleaned it and it was recognizable now.

The triplets were impatiently roaming there eyes on their surroundings. The scent was incredibly strong but the person was nowhere to be seen.

"Is this some kind of fucking joke..."

Nicolai growled angrily. His eyes were glowing and his fangs came out.

Dimitri quickly ordered everyone to vacant the place as he was sure that his kings will definitely hurt someone.

"Nico calm down..."

Vincent warned him, many humans were present there and he didn't wanted him to disclose their true identity.

"I want mate. I want my mate... Now..."

Nicolai yelled and punched the wall beside the statue, it didn't took long for the wall to fully break down and mix with dust as if it was never there.

"Nicolai..."

Vincent warned but whom was he kidding, he himself wanted to do that.

Nicolai's breathing quickened, he stepped back from the statue and for the first time looked at it carefully.

His eyes widened in shock, he got closer to it and sniffed the statue.

His brothers were looking at him like he has gone crazy. Lucifer was on the edge of loosing his control and shift.

Nicolai looked at the statue with horrified expression.

He touched the statue gently, almost like he will touch it and it will break.

"Mate..."

"Are you fucking out of your mind, what the hell are you saying Nicolai..."

Lucifer growled.

Vincent reluctantly walked towards the statue and touched it just like Nicolai. A wave of spark rushed through his body, waking up all his senses. His pupils automatically widened with recognition. 

"What the fuck..."
