Liam's POV
"Two masked assassins," I repeated, my voice low and dark like approaching thunder.
The warmth that had filled the bedroom just moments ago vanished, replaced by a cold, deadly rage. I looked down at Scarlett, whose sea-blue eyes were wide with sudden shock, and then at my brothers.
"Stay here with her," I told Leo and Leonard, my fingers tightening into fists. "I will go and check this myself."
They both nodded, their faces turning completely serious. Leo moved closer to Scarlett, wrapping a protective arm around her shoulders, while Leonard kept a firm hold on her hand. They knew as well as I did that whoever sent these killers was trying to tear our new world apart before it could even begin.
I followed the Head Warrior out of the bedroom and marched straight down to the dark dungeon beneath the mansion.
