Bab 96: Controlled

He'd been fine when his friend was covering all the things he already knew—that the males had been off fighting, demonstrating dominance, and working through the hierarchy on the night the females were taken.

But he hadn't known that the Team must have brought through dozens of people, because hundreds of females and offspring were removed from Thana in only seven hours.

He hadn't known that the males still didn't understand how the females had been removed—so many of them, so quickly—because they knew their females would have fought the weaker, smaller humans.
