Chapter 67 A Groan

• Evan left me in the room with two Deltas guarding me. No matter how I insisted that he take me with him, he refused. Why! I could settle this in one go. If I got close enough to any of the Glilies and the Josephs, I would be able to get to the bottom of this. The truth was in their heads, and while I hated to use my power deliberately against anyone, if invading their privacy meant being able to keep others safe, I was more than willing.
• "Let me help!" I shouted, but it was no use. The door slammed shut behind Evan, and I was left alone in the room, at least for the time being. He had promised he would come get me and let me help once he determined things were safe, but even this report just now couldn't be trusted, he had said. If someone really had betrayed the pack and evidence had come to the surface at last, there was no telling who else might be involved. Until he personally settled things and restrained everyone involved in the situation, I was to remain locked in the room and to let no one in until he came and gave me the signal that it was safe.
• It made sense. After all, I could always approach the Glilies and the Josephs later when there was no longer any danger and the fighting was over. But even so, to be helpless like this, it made me want to punch the walls and dig my way out. Why was Evan always the one protecting me? Why couldn't I be the one charging out ahead, protecting him?
