[Ellie's P.O.V]
Seeing Brian, I had a rough idea of why the Forsaken had appeared, especially considering Panse's current condition, which seemed to indicate his strength.
My worst fear had come true. Leah had ultimately made her choice between the family and Mason. She had given all the information about the Forsaken to Mason, and Panse was the result of several days of Jacob people's silence.
"Despicable?" Brian coldly chuckled, repeating the word, "No, I've just recruited more partners. I merely wanted to inform you that with your group, you cannot stop the impending change for humanity."
He said these words as if each one was forced out from between his teeth, rigid and devoid of any warmth. There was a sharpness in Brian's gaze as he looked at us. My heart skipped a beat at his words.
What did he mean by his last sentence? Did he already know our true identity? I quickly dismissed the thought, but my gaze instinctively shifted towards Panse.
