A smirk played on Samantha's mouth at Isla's reaction.
"Samantha," Evelyn gasped in horror, her face holding the betrayal only a mother could feel at the sight of her child making a terrible, deadly decision.
Samantha ignored her mother.
She had obviously chosen a side and was going to stick with it.
Theophilus squawked and squirmed in Samantha's grasp, drawing Isla attention back.
How had they even gotten ahold of him?
Isla's gaze swept over the crowd of wolves three times in search of Victoria, but the Alpha female was missing.
"Where is Victoria?" Isla demanded, racking for a way to get Theophilus away from them.
Samantha paled slightly, something finally breaking through her calm facade, and she glanced at one of the soldiers standing around the huddled wolves.
Isla followed her gaze, to a knight with an eye-patch.
