Chapter 126: Chapter 126: An Unexplainable Connection

The triplets exchanged uncomfortable glances at my question about Leo. The tension in the room thickened instantly.

“What happened to him?” I pressed, ignoring the pain as I tried to sit up straighter. “Is he okay?”

Lucas stepped forward, his face serious. “He’s alive, Hazel.”

“Then where is he?” My heart raced. Despite everything, I couldn’t shake my concern for Leo.

The brothers shared another look, communicating silently in that way only they could. Finally, Liam broke the heavy silence.

“Leo is currently being held in the cells,” he said gently, his warm eyes filled with caution.

My jaw dropped. “The cells? Why?”

Levi snorted, crossing his arms. “Why? Because he’s the one who caused this whole mess in the first place!”

“Levi,” Lucas warned, shooting his brother a stern look.

“What? It’s true!” Levi threw his hands up. “He confessed everything while we had him locked up! He practically started the Vox Solis with Esther. He kidnapped you because he wanted to make you his mate!”

My breath got caught in my throat. “He... confessed all that?”

That was surprising. I thought it would had taken a lot more convincing to get Leo to confess.

“Hazel, you have a twin sister,” Lucas gently revealed. “Leo was her chosen mate.”

I nodded. “Yes,” I said. “I know that. He eventually told me.”
