When he finally left, Eileen looked at Maple. What are you thinking, my little charge?
Maple said, "It was an excellent strategy." The strongest Lycan clan might have been destroyed from the inside, and we would have had more time to transform more witches into mages.
Eileen said that they could have easily eliminated Maxwell and the heir after consolidating their power within the clan. Now what?"
"Just a little bit of a delay.
The loss of Carl would weaken them and create a power vacuum, and Maxwell would eliminate Carl Baker for us," Maple said.
Eileen cocked an eyebrow at his protege and said, "You forget one thing, Maple." What are our chances of seizing Pretoria if Ms. Mac is still pregnant with their child?
It's possible that we won't need Ms. Mac after all to protect Carl's successor.
