*~Leon's POV~*
Earlier that day…
I stood in the room with Christian. Everything was falling apart.
Hazel, Cayden, Caspian—everyone had lost it. Cyrius was on his way back from France after hearing that Aurora and Heather had been taken, but he wasn't here yet.
Then the high house door burst open.
Cyrius stormed inside, his coat whipping behind him like a shadow. Hazel immediately ran to him, collapsing into his arms and burying her face in his chest and he hugged her back.
"She's gone!" she cried. "Heather is gone! Aurora is gone!"
Cyrius jaw tightened. "How did this happen?" He turned toward his brothers, his voice shaking with fury. The others just stood there, arms folded, faces blank, confusion etched into every line.
"Apparently…" Hazel's voice cracked. "After Aurora found a wizard..Darius— she trusted him so much… she said she wanted to train him. And now he's taken her—and my baby! .. Leon tried to stop him but he failed."
