Songbird of Death

chapter 16

As Sakura finished off her dance. She finally looked towards the door. Seeing her uncle Aro and three men she couldn't recognise. Walking towards them Sakura managed to look Tom in the eye.

Sakura felt the world stop. Her heart beat increasing. Tears in her eyes So Sakura did what she does best......she ran.

"What happened? What's wrong, what's upset her?
Rapid fire questioning came from Lucius.

"I honestly don't know, come let's go find her. I'm almost certain she will be be with her father."
Aro explained.

Walking towards Marcus's office. They heard the sobbing of their mate and it broke their hearts just as they were about to knock. They heard Sakura speaking to her father.

"They won't want me after what uncle Vernon did, I'm damaged goods, I'm tainted who wants that?" Sakura asked while still crying.

"Listen darling, if they don't want you after something that was never ever your fault, then they are just a coward's. You are brilliant, smart, loving, loyal, a wonderful mother. If they can't see you for who you are, did you know that you saved my life?"

"No, how did I"

"I never thought I could open up and love someone else. I was at my limit I was going to ask your uncles to rip me apart and throw me into a fire, however,  you came along and the barriers I put up to protect my own heart, then you came to me and asked me a question. The walls fell and I instantly loved you. My darling daughter."

"I'm sorry daddy, I wish I could have met auntie didyme."

Sakura moved into her father's lap to whisper in his ear.

"You saved me daddy, I love you."

"I love you to darling" Marcus said as Sakura fell asleep.

A sudden knock on the door  broke Marcus out of his reverie.

"Yes? Come in."

The three men looked at their mate. With tears running down their faces.

"Is she OK?" Lucius asked in the silent tension

"No, didn't you get it while standing at my door. So you heard everything. She thinks you three are going to be rejecting her, she's scared."

"That will never happen we love her already."

Settling Sakura on the sofa the six of them went to Aro's office to give Sakura a chance to rest and calm.

"It would probably be best if she only meets one of you for the moment so she doesn't freak out." Marcus commented.

"It was my eyes she met, the bond is already there I'm feeling uncomfortable already being away from her." Tom spoke with a sigh.

"Then it should be you sweetheart. We know you'll take it easy on her."

A knock on the door was heard.

"Masters?"

"Yes Felix."

"Sakura and Briar are currently in the kitchen baking."

"Thank you Felix"

Giving a kiss to his other 2 mates Tom walked with Felix towards the kitchen.

"I can tell your nervous, she is too."

"I just don't want to upset her we have searched so long for her. I'm frightened I'll screw it up and she'll reject us."

Unknown to Tom their conversation was heard through the camera feed and Sakura realized she wanted to talk to them. No more running.

Hearing laughter in the kitchen Felix and Tom stopped at the door watching Sakura and Briar throwing flour at each other.

"I'll leave you to it." Felix whispered and was gone.

Steeling himself Tom entered the kitchen.

Sakura finally noticed him.

"Hi"

"Hello Darling"

Sakura cautiously approached Tom.

"Sweet merlin your beautiful"

Sakura blushed.

"Your not so bad yourself."

"Mama? Who's this?"

"My names Tom sweetie, and I'm one if your mama's mates."

"Your gonna be one of my daddy's?"

"If your mama wants us, yes."

"Briar why don't you go find Alec take a handful of flour with you." Sakura winked at her daughter wh giggled.

"Yes mama"

After Briar had left the kitchen Sakura turned to Tom.

"What did you mean if I want you?"

"Exactly that, we would never pressure you or rush you into anything, Lord death showed us your life and your father showed us some videos I think they're called? We love you." Tom babbled

The next moment Sakura's mouth was on Tom's  kissing him. Slowly and tentatively. Before resting her forehead on his.

"I love you too"
