Now those wolves want Astrid dead but killing her has become a lot harder.
In hopes of gaining leverage, they kidnapped Sammy this morning while he was playing in his room and left that note.
Fortunately, we intercepted the kidnappers before they could leave the pack territory with Sammy. Evelyn still believes he's been taken, and so do the kidnappers' bosses but Sammy is safe. We've locked the kidnappers in the dungeons at Red River, where they're unable to mind-link. We'll keep them there until you return and the Werewolf Council is functional again."
I ran my hands through my hair, trying to process what my father had just told me.
What the hell?
Evelyn was behind all this? Or at least part of it? How? Why?
"How did… how did you figure it out?"
"It was all right in front of you, son, but you were too blinded to see it. Evelyn knew the wolves who attacked the pack were after Astrid. She either knew because someone told her… or because—"
"she was the one who let them in."
