Adrian picked up the first report. "Rogues?"
"We don't know."
Adrian scanned the report, dropped it, and picked up another, then another.
Several unfamiliar wolves had been spotted close to the northern border. Another group had been seen near a pack farther west.
But nothing had happened yet. There had been no attacks or confrontations.
They had simply appeared and disappeared.
Adrian picked up the first report again to compare it with the second, searching for patterns that might connect the incidents.
"They could be scouts," he muttered as he studied both reports closely.
"That was my thought," Maurice acknowledged.
"And the third?"
Maurice handed it over. Adrian read it, and his expression slowly hardened.
"Vampire scent?"
Maurice nodded. As he had studied the report since it came in during the early hours of the morning, he had considered the same possibility.
"Near wolf territory?" Adrian asked, completely baffled.
"Yes."
"That doesn't make sense."
"I know."
