advantage of endless resources at his disposal. He was someone that you didn’t want to come up against, but it was a little late for that now.
    “He’s preaching about getting rid of the ‘Lycan abomination’, for good. From what I can see, his number one priority right now is getting as many people on his side as he can. And, unfortunately, he’s doing a pretty stand-up job of it.” Finn sighs and Sofie can imagine him taking off his glasses, rubbing a hand over his face and replacing them again. “People are scared. They’ve just seen proof that something they never thought existed is out there running around. Luke is using that fear to his advantage. It’s textbook psychology, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t work.”
    “He was always good at that, using fear to get what he wants.” Sofie remembers Luke cornering her in his limo, threatening her, blackmailing her, throwing a spotlight onto her fears. “Any good news for me, Finn? I could really do with some.” She looks out of the window, watching as various members of the pack take turns to split wood with an axe. The weather is warm, balmy even, there’s no need for a fire, but that’s not why they’re so focused on their labour. It’s a way of using their bodies, using the energy and anger and fear that’s filling them up. It’s something to focus on outside of the fact that their world will never be the same again.
    “Well I think I’ve figured out how to get on to the secret level of ‘Call of Duty’!” Finn relays this information in the same vein as someone might confess to having solved world peace.
    “Well, at least you’re using your time effectively!” Sofie shakes her head. She can’t help but laugh. Her friend was a constant, in an ever-changing world; she knew that she could always rely on Finn just being Finn. “I was talking more about the little project you were working on of finding ways to discredit Luke? To land his ass in jail, that’s the only place I want to see him.”
    Luke is a man with seemingly endless means and a thirst for power that rivals the harshest of dictators that this world has seen. How do you fight someone who has everything and is prepared to throw all of it against you? Sofie and Finn had decided that the only way to get to him was to hit him where it hurts – to take it away his resources, to take away his power.
    “Like I said, Braun, this isn’t painting by numbers. I’m working on gathering the evidence together we’ll need to take him down, but I need more time. It’s not a quick fix.” Finn manages to sound apologetic and affronted that Sofie is hurrying him at the same time.
    “Finn, I bow to your technical genius, but this isn’t the time for you to be a diva. Luke has been planning this whole thing from the start. Don’t you think it’s the least bit curious that one of the places he’s sent us to just happens to be the one place in he country where werewolves have been living in peace and quiet for hundreds of years? And he just happens to have a weapon that he can use against them that no one has ever seen before? It’s all a little too convenient for it to be a coincidence, isn’t it?” Sofie lets the thoughts pour out of her mouth. She realizes she’s babbling but that doesn’t make her any less certain that she’s right in what she’s saying. “He knew about them before we did, before any of this started and he’s engineered this whole thing. But why? What does it get him?” The question is more rhetorical but the way that Finn clears his throat makes her wonder if she’s the only one that’s missing a piece of the puzzle. “What, Finn? Tell me.”
    There’s no avoiding her questions when she gets that tone in her voice and Finn knows it. “I guess this would be a bad time to tell you that according to Luke’s schedule for the day, that any two year old could hack -,”
    “Finn!” Sofie’s voice is a warning.
    “Okay, okay! Well, it looks like he
