Rowan hid Evan in the bushes away from the scene of the incident and went back to look for Bella, only to see her being taken away.

Stopping himself from jumping to his feet, he turned back to Evan.

There was never an exception to what Rowan had witnessed. Evan always collapsed when he drew more than a certain amount of power.
