ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS!

Edwin and the team returned to Wrights' mansion at the time of lunch. Ruth noticed how tense they all looked as if something had horribly gone wrong.

Thea was concerned although, she faked obliviousness in front of Ruth. The way they all had stiff shoulders and lines of worry on their faces made her anxious. She caught Rees's eyes as soon as they returned, and that one look in his eyes told her that the situation had turned only more serious.

After the lunch, Alpha Wright asked Lester if they had found any clue regarding the kidnapping. Edwin had already warned everyone to not say a word to others before they were sure of the shreds of evidence.

And Lester did exactly the same. He did not like lying to his father. He knew how much pressure was on his father, both political and emotional. People were pointing fingers at his old age and capability because he could not protect a little cub of his pack.
