Something was wrong, and within a few hours of being overdue with returning to the castle, everyone knew it too. Aro paced as he awaited his tracker, drumming his fingers together while Caius all but glared around the room, Marcus remaining stoic but seemingly concerned as he too wondered where the male twin and their newest addition had vanished off too.
They didn't have to wait long.
The great golden doors opened, the tracker and colossal giant striding inside the great hall, cloaks billowing out behind them. Aro moved forward and seized his hand, eyes narrowed as he read the Greek trackers thoughts. "A group of ten," he commented as he read through them. "They infiltrated our city during Afton and Chelsea's changing of patrol shifts. Five went after Alec and Olivia, the others making sure they weren't bothered."
Milky red orbs moved to meet Demetri's. "And he cannot track them." He finished with a raised brow. Caius shot up out of his throne. "What do you mean he cannot track them!" He exploded in a rage and Aro waved a hand, silencing him. "Through no fault of his own, brother." He called calmly, although anger laced every aspect of his voice. "I believe they have a shield with them, like dear, sweet Renata. If they are being shielded, we will have to ask our allies around the world to find them, to out their ears to the ground, to listen for the whispers and the rumours. I want them found, no matter the cost."
Caius nodded, his expression cruel as he thought about just how they'd obliterate these fools, those who'd dared to attack their prized guards.
