Questioning

[Ellie's P.O.V]

Both Anton and I looked at Kirk simultaneously. His words... seemed to remind us of something. Something we had overlooked for a long time.

There was no one in the pack...

It was normal for a pack to establish its own army, usually by selecting exceptional wolves from within the pack, training and nurturing them. However, if there were no wolves or very few of them, they might have to come up with an alternative plan.

So, the people behind all this might actually be from a very small pack, so small that they couldn't even select enough members to form an army?

"That's a reasonable guess," I nodded with sudden realization.

Anton agreed, "But we can initially rule out the packs in our city. We received news in the past two days that wolves from packs of all sizes in our city have also experienced wolf disappearances."

That meant it was people from outside the city, making the investigation much more challenging.
