"There has to be more," Claire thought out loud. "How would you all have done it?" I mused. "What do you mean Ghostrider?" Ryder asked. "The attack, if it was you in Thomas' place, then how?" Growls and snarls encompassed the room while mouth's dropped. Claire looked at me like I ate a can of damn worms while Liam cocked his head and raised his brow. I rolled my eyes. "I'm not asking you to do it, I'm asking you to take think outside the box here, how? How would you pull something like that off?" Ethan kissed my shoulder before pulling me a little closer to him. "Outside help, there's no way Thomas did it alone. He could not have gotten those rogues over the border without outside help. Other Alphas had to know, unless they were like us and had a case of rogues without a trail. "But either way, they either know and were involved or they had similar cases." "Jaxon," Lander said over the link. "Jaxon had issues like ours, he wanted to discuss it and he supports both of you. He hasn't been an alpha long, he took over for his dad like eight years ago I think? "However his dad may have left something behind that could help, or maybe Jaxon remembers something from back then. Who knows, but I can set up a meeting." "What happened to his father?" I asked. "He killed him in the challenge," Levi said with wary eyes. "He was a sour man, selfish. "It wasn't anything Jaxon wanted to do, but from what Caden told me, it needed to be done. They're much better off with Jaxon as the alpha now. Good riddance too, that piece of shit was one poor excuse for a wolf and a thorn in my paw." Ethan nodded a little as his fingers began to play with my hair. "I would also need men. A lot of them. I remember that day, the bodies. They had plenty of rogues to spare." "But brother, rogues are broken wolves. How the hell did they get so many? I mean, they would have to break hundreds of people," Evan said which made me shudder. "Where would you even store that many?" Andrea asked. "Let's say they are able to create that many for a second, where do you keep them?" "The mountains?" Ryder adds. "High up there's caves and places that are not pack land, no man's land." "Ya but then how do you get them down from the mountains? They are sick man, like about the die. Those wolves can't make it down them let alone live up there. Even the healthier ones, it's too harsh up there," Jake added. "Andrea's mother had a cousin in the north. She still has some family there. It's a longshot, but I can reach out to them. They are sketchy as hell, but maybe we'll get lucky," Billy said. "I would need inside help," Lyanna said. "If it were me, I would need help on the inside to pull something like that off. There's no way that there were not some patrols or warriors not in on it. That many rogues across the borders? No, not buying that no one knew. Someone knew something." Lander beamed and looked over at Claire then mouthed, 'that's our daughter' proudly. Claire rolled her eyes while Levi shot his brother an annoyed glare. "Lyanna is right," Billy said. "I'll comb through my records. Start crosschecking. Lyanna, you mind a little paperwork? Probably need your help too Ethan and Char." Ethan sighed then nodded. "Bring it over and we'll start going through it. Pull everything you think could relevant; patrol logs, family records, lists of warriors and their duties, etc. Go back at least three or four months, we need to be thorough here." "I can definitely help Billy," Lyanna added. Levi nodded. "That's a good idea Lyanna, we need to comb through all our warriors in both packs." "David, think you could go see your best friend Billy soon?" Lander asked. David nodded. "I think my best friend Billy may need to see me real soon," he said with a coy smile. "Best friend Billy, you ok with that?" "God, what are you going to make me a damn friendship bracelet and braid my damn hair?" Billy grumbled. Everyone laughed while Billy listed off a string of curses before Lander gave David a sympathetic shrug. "See if you can't help him question some of the pack members. I want more on ours, maybe you and Billy can tag team," Lander said. "Actually," Levi mused. "You two are thinking about training together again right?" "Ya, we were going to start in a few weeks. Just waiting on Ethan to get the damn paperwork done," David teased. Ethan grumbled a little and shook his head. "Asshole." David chuckled before tipping his glass to Ethan. Levi took a sip of his whiskey and nodded. "Ethan get it done. David, you and Billy grill those damn warriors, especially the old ones. Crack them, I want to know everything they know."
