“So, you think they were just waiting for her in neutral territory just waiting for us to get comfortable to attack?” I asked, my stomach sinking with the thought. I hated that I had left her even though I knew she had fallen asleep a while ago, and there was nothing more I could do for her.
“I think it’s possible,” Ethan shrugged. “But I also think it’s just as possible that you have a spy in your pack.”
I had to fight the urge to fight Ethan at his words and was glad that I hadn’t allowed myself to enter his cell today.
“I do not have a spy.” I ground out. “My pack is loyal.”
Ethan raised his arms in surrender, but his next words told me that he didn’t really believe me. “I think most are, yes. But I think its folly to think that every single person in this pack is. I mean, Grace is new. Grace is Lycan or even wolfless to some. They don’t really know her. You’ve been a heart throb for ages. Even I as a rogue have heard stories of girls fawning over you. I’m sure somebody out there could have a big enough motive to want Grace gone. And whoever it was could have easily tipped off Kinsley or Adrian, telling them that you weren’t going into the city with Grace. They could have followed them out of the pack themselves. Followed at a distance, saw the prime opportunity, and told Adrian and Kinsley where Grace could be found. I don’t suppose it would have been
terribly hard on any account.”
I contemplated his words. They made a lot of sense. My pack didn’t really know Grace. They had always welcomed every new bride though… Hadn’t they? They had never seemed to care who they were before, but maybe I had been too blind in my disinterest to notice. Maybe there was more going on in my pack than I realized. I was going to need Leon to check surveillance of the border today and give me a list of every person who had
come in and out and when.
“Next to no one knew that she was going to the city.” I tried to argue even though I was
hesitating a little.
“Then the person you’re looking for might be even closer than you think.” Ethan answered easily, giving me a look that made me think maybe he knew something.

But the only people who knew were Leon, Sawyer and Arlo… But again it had been Arlo’s suggestion… Arlo was the only one who was hurt and who they threatened to take. But Arlo’s story had matched Grace’s so perfectly.
“I have already confirmed those that knew of the outings loyalty, but thank you for your suggestions,” I said vehemently. I was not going to go around doubting those I trusted
most.
“I meant no harm,” Ethan sighed. “I just want what’s best for my sister… If you let me out, I can help you keep her safe.”
“I’m sorry, but no. Not until I know Kinsley and Adrian’s true intentions. You’re safer here, and so is Grace.”
Ethan sighed but seemed to accept my answer at least for now. I turned to leave when he
called me back.
“What?” I asked in irritation.
“I don’t know if it’s relevant, but legends say that there is more than one way to create a Lycan… They say you don’t necessarily have to be born one… And I worry that maybe the legends are true…”

He seems to have forgotten that he recently kicked his brother Caleb out and allowed his crazy ex back into the pack, a woman who basically said she would kill Grace. Also, why did Kinsley…
