Fiore

In Nandini's Bedroom

Nandini was lying on her bed with eyes closed. Manik has dropped her till Fiore's border gate and she just got out of the jeep and walked inside Fiore without speaking a word. She was weak but still she didn't want him near her, not at least when she is in a dilemma..She reached her mansion and locked herself up in her bedroom..

Nandini's POV

HE MARKED ME..HE FREAKING MARKED ME HIS..This shouldn't have happened though I felt ecstatic. I pushed him away. He never touched me with my consent yet I wanted his touch. I craved to be with him. I knew it was mate's pull. But something in me was building up. Some kind of strong and pure emotion which I scared the most of. I was always scared thinking that what if I fail to push my mate away from me. But here not just pushing, I am craving for him and he made it easy by marking me as HIS. Its simply great. How am I supposed to stay away from him, now. This mark just proves that I belong to him and the feeling that feel for him is just increasing my worry. All I want is him to be safe, but what if I myself am the reason for him to get hurt..please protect him, father..

End of Nandini's POV

She caressed the mark given by him on the left part of her neck. It was red in color and it was huge and glowing. This shows that how much her mate craves for her. When the tattoo glows. it means her mate wants her, only her. It's a sign of LOVE..

Tartaros

In Manik's Bedroom

Manik was sitting with a smile on his face. This smile was reserved only for his loved ones, his family. But today, someone else brought this smile on his face..

Manik's POV

I want her. I want Nandini Grey Carlisle in my life. I don't know what do we call this emotion. I have heard a lot about Lust but I never felt it. When I felt some kind emotions in me for Nandini, I thought it was attraction or lust. So, I thought to back off. I thought maybe after having her for once, I will forget her but at the same time I would become a pervert then. No, my mother never taught me to become a pervert so I started ignoring her but then she never left my mind. If I see some other guy staring at her, I feel like digging his grave. If it was just lust or attraction I wouldn't feel this anger in me, I wouldn't feel possessive for her, I wouldn't feel hurt if I see her in pain, I wouldn't care for her thinking if she might be in pain. This made me realize that I have something for her, something strong. Some kind of feeling. I don't know what it is, but its surely something deep. Having her for once will just increase my crave and this feeling for her and I am totally loving it. Cabir is the most caring mate one could ask for; Dhruv is one of the sweet one, he literally becomes a baby in front of Naina while Maddy is the most possessive and naughty mate, he romances with Soha even in front of Dad and Mom..I have asked them the reason of this change in them but they said only one sentence " Cause we are in Love and you would understand it only when you fall in Love " ..I rolled my eyes at them when they said it but now I can feel all those changes in me too..okay, not a baby but sometimes I act different with her, like I have never been in such a way. Why do I act different with her..If the answer is LOVE the I call it Love..( his smile turned into shock )..Love..? DO I ..?God, Do I love her, my mate, Nandini..?I need to know the answer..How will I know if I love her..?

End of Manik's POV

He sat there lost in deep thoughts..

At night

Weasleys were having their dinner when suddenly they heard growls of their soldiers which meant DANGER..

They looked at each other and got up and went outside..

Raj: What is it..?

Raj asked to the soldier who bowed down first and replied..

Soldier: Chief, we could smell vampires around..

Sahas ( sternly ): Vampires..?

Manik ( pissed ): Looks like they are on hunting..

Cabir ( angry ): We need to go behind them, they might be hunting for our Lil Goddess..

Others nodded and went inside to inform the ladies..

Anaisha ( worried ): What's wrong..?

Dhruv: Vampires are on hunt..

The girls stood shocked with panic stricken face..

Naina: What..? Again..?

Maddy ( furious ): Yes, they might be in search of our Lil Goddess..

The girls got worried for Nandini..

Manik ( frustrated ): I don't get it..Where could our Lil Goddess be..? Why can't God trust us enough..?

Naina ( sighed ): adelfós..Please don't say like that. God won't like it..

Manik ( angry ): I am not insulting God or his decision, Naina..But, doesn't he trust us enough to handover Lil Goddess's responsibility to us..

Soha ( sighed ): adelfós, maybe he has got his own reason, it doesn't mean he doesn't trust us..

Maddy ( sighed ): Soha, His daughter could be only 23, so someone should protect her. And, we demons are the most strongest along God's servants..

Manik ( nodded ): Exactly, Angels are weaker compared to us. Werewolves from the good are also not that strong so then we could protect her better than hiding herself from this world..

The girls just sighed in disbelief. Demons and their self obsession, they thought..

Anaisha ( murmured ): He has already given his daughter to him, but adelfós can never notice it..

She made weird faces and her words were heard by rest of the 3 girls who glared at her while she just smiled sheepishly..

Arya ( frowned ): Did you say something, Anaisha..

Anaisha ( covered herself ): Ahh, I was just saying, we need to find the vampires first..

Nyonika ( nodded ); She is right, we don't know where our Lil Goddess could be but we shouldn't allow the dark creatures to reach her..

Soon, the Demons were in the dark forest in search of Vampires..

In Fiore

The Angels got alert with Vampires' scent..

Manpreet ( angry ): They are in search of Chocolate, again..

Jai ( smirked ): They should be disappointed, again..

Rishi ( smirked ): We will make sure of it..

Rajat ( tensed ): Guys, don't let her know about it..or else she would be coming with us..

Rithvik ( nodded ): Correct, she badly wants to get hold of a vampire to vent her frustration of last 6 years of her pain but she is forgetting that its dangerous for her. Strauss is really adamant in it..

Manpreet: Well, Mirajane is no less and the one who is handling both of them, Nandini Grey Carlisle knows when to start and when to stop, so blocking her won't be that easy..

Soon, the Carlisle were in the dark forest, except Nandita, Gautam, Asha and Tanu since it would create doubts in Nandini's mind..

In the Dark forest

The Demons and Angels were in the forest and they could smell each other..

Manik ( smirked ): Guys, even Angels have reached..

Soon, they came face to face. They smirked at each other..

Cabir: Look, who's here..

Manpreet ( smirked ): Carlisle, we are know like that..

Arya ( sarcastically ): We just forgot it..

Rajat ( sarcastic ): Drink some blood, maybe it might help you to remember..

Abhi ( furious ): You..

Manik who was searching for Nandini among the Carlisle got out of the trance due to Abhi's growl..

Vayhesh/Sahas: Enough..

Vayhesh ( sternly ): We are not here to fight..

Sahas ( stern face ): We are here to protect the Lil Goddess..

They nodded at their respective Former Chiefs and started to search for them. Soon, the vampires themselves came in front of them but there was another specie too..

The Demon's eyes have turned Red while Angels' eyes were of dark green by now..

Vampire 1 ( cockily ): Well well well..here we meet again, Weasleys and Carlisle..

Rishi ( scowled ): You can never stop these hunts, won't you, Jack..?

Jack ( smirked ): Not until we finish your Lil Goddess..

Manik ( furious ): And, we won't allow you to do it..

Vampire 2 ( smirked ): You think so..? Even you don't have any idea about her, right Mr. Weasley..?

Manik looked angry..

The other specie: Oh come one, why are you behind in protecting her, you are just wasting your time..Even I am a woman..Join your hand with mine..

She walked seductively towards Manik and traced her finger on his jawline for which he just pushed her hard and she fell on Jack..

Manik ( spitted fire ): You witch, stay away, Clear..I.HAVE.A.MATE..

Others looked at him in shock seeing him accepting that he already has someone in his life..The Vampires glared at him while Clear was just a shameless witch..

Clear ( amused ): Oh, you too have a mate..Where is she then..? I don't mind either..As I told you, if you join your hand with us then Dark lord will protect you from the Good God..He will be gifting you with treasures and pleasures..

She said it eyeing the boys, both Weasley and Carlisle in return they scowled at her..

Vampire 2 ( pitiful voice ): Maybe, they will understand it one day..

Clear ( smirked ): Of course, they will, Lee..

Lee ( casually ): Its better to leave your Lil Goddess. We have much pleasurable things than you guys have got. Clear is an example..

She smiled seductively and walked towards the guys without shame but each of them pushed her. When she reached Manik, he glared at her with so much power in his eyes that she just got flinched with the power..

Manik: Don't..I told you, I have a mate..and No one is allowed to touch me..Only she holds the right to touch me..!!

Demons and Angels were shocked again while the younger Demons were smirking..

Abhi ( smirked ): Now, you better listen miss whoever you are..We aren't interested in any shitty people like you so just zip it and we are ready to make it clear that we will be protecting our Lil Goddess, anyhow..

Jack ( glared ): We will see it. Mr. Weasley..

Manpreet ( smirked ): Cool enough, you better see how we are gonna protect her..Now, listen one more thing..The Dark Forest is under the Demons and Angels so creatures like you have no entrance, one more time we see you in this place, we wouldn't mind to snap your heads and your head will be sent to your kind.

Rajat: If you are going to tell that we can't then let me tell you its possible, because Lil Goddess is still alive and she can kill you as its said, a vampire could be killed by a God or Goddess..

The Vampires glared at them and disappeared in thin air while others parted their ways..

Raj, Nyonika and Sahas returned to Tartaros while youngsters decided to stay in the forest to protect the Lil Goddess from dark world..

3 more hours are left for sunrise and the girls got tired. Sensing it the demons decided to rest somewhere, but where..

Manik: We won't get a place to rest..

Navya: Actually, we will..

Maddy ( frowned ): Where..?

Soha: FIORE..

Cabir ( sarcastically ): Soha, I thought you were intelligent but you proved wrong..Let me tell you, Demons aren't supposed to enter Fiore without permission..

Arya ( equally sarcastic ): And neither we will ask nor they are gonna permit..

Naina: We aren't gonna ask but we are going to be permitted..

Dhruv: What does it mean, Naina..

Anaisha ( grinned ): We have sneaked into Fiore with Nandini's permission. Since, she is the Lady Chief we didn't have problem in getting inside..Just stick with us, we could take you there..

Manik was smiling from inside but didn't show it..

Abhi: I must say, you guys are smart..

" We know "

The boys shook their heads in disbelief but then agreed with the girls and Anaisha cast a spell and soon they were in a room..

Arya ( frowned ): How can you be so sure its Nandini's room..?

Navya: We are..

Maddy ( frowned ): You said, you've never been to her mansion then how do you know..?

Soha ( sighed ): Turn around, you will know how we are so sure..

The boys frowned but then turned to see a big portrait on the wall behind the bed..

This made them understand it was Nandini's bedroom. They turned to Manik who was just staring at her portrait with a stupid grin on his face..They smirked and shook him..

Cabir: Haven't you had enough ogling at her pic..

Manik looked embarrassed but glared at him..Soon they saw Nandini entering the room, she din't notice them yet..Manik widened his eyes..

Manik ( thought): What the hell..what is she wearing..?

He saw his brothers staring at him with a sheepish smile and palmed their eyes and mouthed.." I am not gonna look at your mate "..Manik glared and just charged towards Nandini and pinned her on the wall which actually shocked her..She was about to shout but then this touch was similar, so she looked up with widened eyes..

Nandini: Manik...

While, Manik was scowling at her..she was just shocked..First, he has come to Fiore and then he is in her bedroom and lastly, he is scowling at her for which she doesn't even know the reason..

Manik ( growled ): Turn...

She frowned at him but saw him turning back and looking at her, she too turned back and saw her friends and Demon boys who have turned around in the next moment..

Nandini ( widened her eyes ): What the heck are you guys doing here..?

Manik ( shouted ): What the hell are you wearing..?

She flinched with his tone but then maintained a straight face..She was still mad at him for marking her..

Nandini ( gritted her teeth ): Its none of your business..

Manik ( furious ): It is my business, damn it..It is..Because, you are my mate..

Nandini ( angry ): Oh really..? Does it mean that you could rule over me..?

Manik ( pissed ): Nandini..

Nandini ( furious ): What the hell are you doing here..?

Manik ( angry ): Why the hell are you wearing this..?

Nandini was seriously pissed..

Nandini: Why can't I wear it..? What's wrong..? And who the hell are you to question over my attire..?

Manik ( grabbed her waist ): I don't want any other male to see my mate in any attire which will reveal what is mine to see..And, who am I for you..Look at yourself and you would find yourself belonging to me..

He pointed at the mark which was given by him on her neck, which really increased her anger..

Nandini: Dare you forget Mr. Weasley, you marked me without my consent..

"WHAT"..others shouted...which brought Manik and Nandini out of their own fight..

Anaisha: He marked you..?

Navya saw her neck and freaked out..

Navya: Holy shit..Her neck..

The girls looked at her neck while the boys still didn't look at Nandini, fearing Manik..

Girls ( excited): oh my god..Really..?

The girls jumped on Nandini and hugged her while she was seriously shocked and pissed..

" Nandini "

They heard a voice and they widened their eyes..Nandini ran and closed the bedroom door and she cast a spell in her heart, around the room so that the voice don't go outside..

Nandini ( pissed ): Will you guys tell me why are you here..?

Dhruv ( still didn't look at her ): Um..can we look at you guys now..?

Nandini ( frowned ): Why are you looking here and there..actually, all 5 of you..

Manik ( glared ): Cause, you aren't covering yourself..

Nandini ( glared ): Are you serious..? I am wearing a dress on my body..

Anaisha ( disbelievingly ): adelfós, she isn't standing naked..

Mnaik ( growled ): And, she wouldn't stand like that in front of anyone..

Navya: This is her style adelfós when she is at home and when she is with us..

Soha: Exactly, and she isn't out..she is in front of you and your brothers..

Manik ( glared ): Brothers..!! That isn't acceptable..

Nandini ( shouted ): Can you guys stop..my brother just called my name..he would be here any moment..will you tell me why are you here..

Abhi: Um, Vampires are on hunt so we were just guarding the dark forest to protect Lil Goddess but then the girls got tired so we came here to take rest..hope we aren't bothering you..

Nandini ( shocked ): Vampires..? Why didn't my brothers tell anything about it, then..!!

" Nandini "

Nandini ( panicked ): Its Mann..hide yourself..come one..hurry up..

Aniasha: But where..

Nandini: Anywhere..just cast a spell and hide your scent..he is extra good in identifying scents..

Soon the demons hid themselves but Manik just stood with carefree attitude..

Nandini: Manik, hide yourself..

Manik: Manik Weasley isn't scared of anyone..

Nandini ( hit her head ): Why..? Why me..? What did I do..?

" Nandini "

Nandini: Manik, please hide somewhere..

She pleaded for the first time which astonished him..

Manik ( sighed ): Fine..

He too hid himself while Nandini opened the door to see Manpreet looking at her suspiciously. She placed a stupid grin on her face..He walked inside while she was just biting her lip to lie in front of him..

Manpreet: What took you so long to open the door..?

Nandini: Uh..I..I was putting on my clothes..

Manpreet looked at her with widened eyes..

Manpreet: Is Manik here..?

She widened her eyes and so the Demons..

Cabir: Did he get to know..?

Nandini: Wh..what..? Man..manik..why would he be here..?

Manpreet ( teased ): You just said that you were putting on your clothes..Usually, girls say it when they just had s** with their mate and your mate is Manik..so just a doubt..But, why are you stammering..Don't tell me you were really making out with him..

Nandini stood there with wide opened mouth while Manik could only stare at Manpreet in astonishment..Seriously, which brother could ask a sister about her make out..? The demon girls were giggling..

Arya ( dumbfound ): Seriously..? Did he really ask her about make out..

Maddy: That too with Manik..?

They turned to Manik who has turned red by now and they were just chuckling..

Nandini ( shouted ): Manpreet, out of my room..now..

She was badly embarrassed as she could find Manik smirking at her..The demons were hidden only in Manpreet's gaze..

Manpreet ( chuckled ): Fine..I am going..but let me tell you..don't move out of the room..

Nandini ( glared ): Yeah, the vampires are outside..

Manpreet ( nodded ): yeah they are..wait..what..how did you know..?

Nandini ( angry ): I told you to tell me about them..

Manpreet ( showed his teeth ): No way..you better be in the room Miss Carlisle..

"Manpreet is right"

She saw all her brothers entering the bedroom..

Rithvik: You won't step out of the room..

Jai: Now, don't try to protest..you know we love you..

Rajat: We don't want you in trouble..so please..?

She melted in their pleads and nodded for which they grinned at her..

Rishi went and closed her balcony's door..

Nandini: Rishi..why are you closing the door..? You know, I can't sleep without fresh air..

Rishi ( baby face ): Please baby, we don't want the Vampires inside..even the demons are outside..

Manik ( smirked ): Demons are already inside your sister's bedroom and from now on wards I will make it sure that you won't call her baby, she is mine..all mine..

Nandini ( huffed ): Fine..

they smiled..Rajat kissed her forehead..

Rajat: Sleep tight if you get to..

Jai ( kissed her forehead ): We are going to be with you..

Rithivk ( kissed her forehead ): If you can't sleep then just come to me, lame jokes are for free..

Manpreet and Rishi kissed her cheeks..

Manpreet: And I would be ready to make cake with you..

Rishi: And I would be ready to irritate you along with my daughter..

Nandini giggled and kissed their cheeks back and they moved out of her room while someone was not liking all these things, of course her mate, Manik Wealsey..

Nandini: You guys can come out..

The demons came out..

Nandini: Okay, since you guys are here to rest..I will get you some beds..

Cabir ( still didn't look at her ): okay..but we can't sleep in one bedroom..its yours and someone will really kill us..

He eyed Manik while he glared at him..She sighed and moved to her closet..

Manik: Where did she go..

Soon, she came out..

Nandini: Is it fine..

She looked at Manik and raised her eyebrow, he smiled at her which unknowingly brought a smile on her lips too..

Nandini: Okay then, come with me..And yeah, I won't let you sleep in my bedroom too..I am quiet possessive when it comes to my bedroom..

She moved forward and the rest followed her..

Arya ( frowned ): Where are you taking us..?

Nandini: Patience, little brother..

She said it in a flow and didn't realize it but others did realize and it seriously brought a smile on Manik and Arya..

She touched a wall where only her photos were present but soon the demons' faces were turned to shocked ones..

To be continued..
