Fated to the Alpha–And His Triplet Brothers Chapter 232: Vanish

*~Leon’s POV~*

was rigid, standing strong in my opinion and refusing to let her go. But she was tough—stubborn as hell.

"Leon, let go!" she snapped, struggling against my grip.

"No."

She slapped my hands off. "If you don’t let go, I swear I’ll do sothing I’ll regret!"

"And what will you do?" I challenged.

"Please, don’t make do sothing I’ll regret. Just let go. It’s none of your business."

"And don’t you have your wife to attend to?"

"Well, thanks to you, my honeymoon has been canceled. I can’t see my wife right now."

"Oh, so now you’re back here with because your wife isn’t available? You rember Aurora all of a sudden? You hypocrite."

"Call whatever you want," I growled, "but you’re not going into that room."

She glanced toward the door—the one that led to where Darius was. "I’m done talking to you."

She turned her back, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"Versa," she hissed.

My body imdiately hit the wall. It was as if I’d been pinned there by invisible chains—hung like a damn portrait. She stretched out her hand, and fury flared through .

"I told you to leave alone!"

She clenched her fist, and my blood felt like it was boiling. My stomach churned violently before she slamd to the floor. Pain shot through my back, my head pounding. I couldn’t move.

She started walking toward the room. I tried to push myself up, but my limbs felt heavy—my head like a thousand bricks crashing down.

"Aurora, don’t!" I gasped.

She looked back once, then locked the door behind her.

Damn it. Damn it.

I started crawling toward the door. It felt like it took forever before my hand finally reached it. The mont my palm touched the wood, I shivered. The air was freezing—unnaturally cold.

I wasn’t even inside, yet I could feel the temperature drop.

What the hell was happening?

"Aurora!" I shouted, banging on the door. But there was no response—no sound at all.

Then a wolf passed by. "Hey! Go get the Alpha! Get him here now!" I barked.

The wolf nodded and ran off.

I managed to stand, dizziness blurring my vision. The mont I opened the door, shock hit like a slap in the face.

Both Aurora and Darius were gone.

I blinked. She had gone in there... where was she now?

Where had he taken her?

I knew it. I knew sothing was off. I’d been telling her, but she was too damn stubborn to listen.

Now she was gone.

"Caspian!" I yelled. "Caspian!"

Caspian and so wolves rushed in few minutes later.

"What’s going on?" Caspian demanded.

"Aurora, she’s gone! The man she was training with...the damn wizard he’s taken her!"

"What are you saying, Leon?"

"I told you not to let him in! I told you that guy was suspicious. But no—you’re all too trusting, too blind to see the truth! Now she’s gone!"

"Calm down, Leon," Caspian said, but I couldn’t. My head throbbed, my chest burned with anger.

Only if they’d listened to .

He slapped , hard. Blood filled my mouth, but I barely felt it.

"Calm down and tell what happened."

"I’ve told you! The man Aurora brought here is a damn demon. And he’s taken her!"

Then Alice, Aurora’s sister, rushed in.

"What? Where’s my sister?"

"Where have you been?" I snarled, my vision swimming. "Where the hell have you been while your sister was in trouble? She disappears, and suddenly you show up?!"

"I wasn’t in New Orleans," she stamred. "I just got back. Where is Aurora?"

"She entered the room," I said bitterly. "And then she disappeared. Apparently, she found so wizard she wanted to train with. And that wizard is the sa white-haired demon she’s been talking about. He’s taken her."

Alice froze. "What? Since when do you believe those white-haired demons were even real?"

"Since I saw it with my own eyes," I shot back. "His hair changed—from black to white—and his eyes turned blue. He was touching Aurora. Acting all calm, all innocent. I knew it. He was suspicious from the start. I told her. She just wouldn’t listen."

"She’s damn too stubborn... only if she’d listened to , she wouldn’t have ended up like this. Damn it."

"So you’re telling my sister is gone? So damn wizard took her?"

"At least raise your hands in the air and listen to clearly!" I shouted.

"What?" Caspian snapped. "He made you run? Okay, so you tried to stop her—but then what? What is all of this, Leon? Aren’t you tired of causing drama everywhere you go? What is your obsession with Aurora, really? You’re married, aren’t you?"

"Obsession?" I repeated, my voice sharp. "Obsession? This damn girl is missing because you refused to let her play her role as Alpha!"

"Careful with your words, Leon."

"No—you be careful with your decisions!" I roared. "You allowed her to bring a stranger in, and you let that stranger into the High House. The sa demon she warned us about!"

"How is this on ?" Caspian shot back. "Did you take her seriously when she talked about demons? No! You mocked her too! You made everything she said sound like nonsense—and now suddenly, you’re claiming he’s a demon who took her? Pick a side, Leon."

I stood there, chest heaving, my head pounding, blood roaring in my ears. "We need to find her," I muttered, gripping Caspian’s shoulder. "Now."

Just then, Hazel rushed in. "Where is Aurora? Please tell her it is Heather’s dinner ti... she needs to eat."

"Hazel, it’s not the right ti—" I started.

But she interrupted, panicked. "Where is she?!"

Caspian looked at her, his expression grim. "Aurora is gone," he said quietly.

"Gone?" Hazel’s voice cracked. "But she didn’t tell she was leaving. And heather is not in her room either. She must be with Aurora!"

"The demons have taken Aurora," I said, and Hazel’s eyes widened, her face going pale.

"What? The demons?"

"Rember the man I warned you about? The one she said she wanted to train with?"

"Yes," she whispered.

"He’s taken her. He’s a demon. I saw his hair turn white with my own eyes. He’s one of the demons she said she’d seen—and now, God knows what he’ll do to her. Maybe the sa thing he did to that mad woman earlier today."

"Wait, wait," Hazel said, voice trembling. "Didn’t Aurora say she heard those demons ntioning my baby’s na? Hida’s na?"

"Yes," I said, my stomach twisting. "Maybe they have her now too."

Hazel’s face turned ghostly pale as my words sank in.

"Wait—are you saying that my daughter is gone?" she whispered.

"Gone," I said, my voice breaking. "Gone, gone, gone. Alpha Hazel, she’s gone—and I tried to warn you."

My voice bled raw pain. Hazel shook her head violently. "This is impossible. Aurora can’t just vanish—she’s strong! They can’t take my daughter!"

"We need to find her," Caspian said, his tone hard.

Hazel’s hands trembled. "We need to find my daughter," she cried out. "Now!"

Find out where? We have absolutely no idea where she is right now!" I ran my hands through my hair, tugging at it in frustration.

That was when Sophia walked in.

"Love? What’s happening? I heard you screaming all the way from my room—what’s going on here?"

She reached for , but I slapped her hand away. "Aurora is gone," I said, gripping her fingers before she could speak again.

"Aurora?" Her eyes widened. "What—she’s gone?"

She didn’t seem panicked. If anything, she looked almost... relieved.

"She’s finally gone," she whispered under her breath.

"Happy?" I snapped. "Nobody knows where she is, damn it!"

Hazel and Caspian had already rushed off—God knows where. Nobody has a clue where that damn demon took her. And apparently, he took Heather along with them."

Sophia’s expression darkened. "This is bad."

"No," I said, my voice cracking. "This is worse."

I slamd my fist against the wall. "We need to find Aurora right now. But where? Where the hell could he have taken her? Damn it! I should’ve been smarter. I should’ve been stronger. Just one single hit from her—and I was down. I could’ve stopped her. Damn it, I’m useless."

Sophia stayed silent. The weight of my words filled the room.

But then it hit . Aurora isn’t that weak. She wouldn’t just vanish like that. Not without a sign.

"She must’ve left a hint," I murmured, rushing toward the room she’d disappeared in.

The mont I stepped inside, the air turned icy. Only the Goddess knows what she went through before he took her. It wasn’t even a full minute. A minute. What kind of insane power could take her that fast?

My stomach twisted as my mind tried to wrap around it. Too fast...

Then my bare foot brushed against sothing on the ground. I froze, looking down.

Strands of white hair.

Aurora must have ripped it off him when he took her.

"This is it," I whispered. "Alice and the other witches... they can trace him with this."

I clutched the strands tightly, hope flickering for the first ti since she vanished.

"Maybe—just maybe—we can use this to find her."
