A damn witch!

*~Hazel's POV~*

Earlier that day….

"There is a way," Cayden whispered in my ear.

My face lit up instantly. "What? What do you mean?"

"Don't worry," he said, his voice low and serious. "I have a plan. O'Brien is with Dahlia. I can feel it. He's working with her, and that's why he wants us to send you away. But I've come up with something. It might not work it's risky—but at this point, I'm willing to take any chance."

My heart pounded. "Why do you think he's working with Dahlia?"

"There's no way he would have had access to the witch's herbs unless it was for Aurora," Cayden said. "And even then… something's not right. So I cracked my head trying to figure it out."

"So what's the plan?" I asked. "I can't leave, Cayden. I won't."
