Edward POV

"As I've told you already, I track magical imprints. I cannot sense neither Saron nor the rest of them anywhere," Saira repeated for what seemed to be the thousandth time to an infuriated Zion.

"How could you let this happen? You're her FATHER!" Zion snarled, stepping menacingly in my direction.

"Incase it slipped your mind, we were outnumbered and held by magic by the most powerful supernaturals to exist."

"There has to be something we can do. It's been three days," Star persisted, sheer determination in her eyes.

"Why can't you find the cabin again?" Tom asked, rubbing his temples in frustration.

"I only get images. Saron is connected to the Earth so she was able to take us there. Without her, I wouldn't have been able to get there on my own unless someone else was able to recognize the area. We have no such person. There are probably millions of cabins scattered across the globe that looked like the one we were held in. Finding it would be nearly impossible. The best thing we can do is wait for her to break free and return to us," Saira explained.

"I should've never let her go," Zion growled, punching a nearby wall with such force his fist blew straight through.

"It's best if you all return to Wings. We have some things we need to discuss with your Headmaster."

"What things?" Joel asked, curiously.

"Things that don't concern children. Out," Saira ordered.

"If you think I'm going to listen to a word you say after you kidnapped my mate and left her stranded with-"

"Zion," Jeremy said carefully, placing a hand tentatively on his shoulder. From his wide eyes and quivering bottom lip, I could tell he was afraid if he came on too strong he'd be the next punching bag Zion decided to release his rage upon.

Having had enough, I stepped forward looking Zion square in the eye before saying, "You're my daughters mate so I understand your anger. But I'm not the enemy here. Every second you waste on pointless tantrums, Liam could be nearer and if we don't find another witch soon we are all doomed."

Reluctantly, he stepped back before walking away, not taking his eyes off of me for one second before he stepped out. The others quickly followed him, leaving me and Saira alone in the room at last.

"Are we clear?"

Focusing my hearing until I could hear the receding footsteps get far enough to no longer be able to listen in to our conversation, I pulled her deeper into the room before nodding.

"Esat? She's safe?"

"For now. But we need to get Saron before it's too late. It's already been too long."

"Then what're we waiting for?"

Grabbing her hand, I whisked her away until we landed at the door of Snow's office. I quickly opened the door, allowing Saira to enter before I shut the door behind me.

"Took you long enough."

"Her mate wouldn't leave us be," Saira replied, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"Shall we?" I asked, turning to both Saira and Snow who nodded in agreement.

Taking a deep breath, Snow walked towards us shakily before firmly gripping on each of our wrists.

"Are you sure you'll be able to do this?"

"Of course I can. What do you take me for, an amateur?"
