The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Desire to meet her again

The room was quiet after Maximus left. The three brothers sat in heavy silence, none of them speaking, each lost in his own thoughts. The air felt heavy, pressing down on them, until at last Kael lifted his head.

"What do you mean you don’t know where he is? Has he not answered the mind link?"

Luca’s face turned grim, his voice sharp but low. "He has shut us out completely."

Aeron’s eyes darkened as he gave the answer his brother dreaded to hear.
