*~ Hazel's POV~*
Finally, Mom and Dad were still upstairs, doing whatever romance they were doing. The door opened and Mother came out first, descending the stairs with a calm expression while we peeked behind her. But Father wasn't behind her.
"Where is Marcus?" I asked.
"He's upstairs," she said softly, carefully taking Heather from my arms as if nothing had happened.
We all turned to Klaus. He nodded and went upstairs to check on Marcus.
"So… how is it?" Alice asked suddenly, leaving me completely clueless.
"What do you mean?" I frowned.
"You just talked with Marcus."
"Yes," I said. "We caught up."
"Hazel, I think he's ready now," Lilith said firmly. "We should take him to where the vampires are so he can control them. We don't have much time left."
Aurora supported her. "We can't delay."
I shook my head. "No. We're not going today. He just transformed. He needs to rest."
