The strange response that he had gotten from Cassie intrigued him as Wolfe flew toward the town they had chosen to bring into compliance first. According to the information that they had, there were still slaves being kept there in the most deplorable of conditions, and the reports indicated that they had immediately attacked the last four potential protectors who approached them.
The fact that they hadn't attacked the witches was an unexpected result, and they had all been prepared to deal with a certain level of violence.
But for some reason that hadn't happened, and they weren't sharing it through the mind link.
Wolfe flew over the town, looking for signs of a struggle, but everything looked peaceful, and while he was fairly certain that he still saw slaves, they were dressed more like servants, and didn't look starved or beaten. At least, not the ones he saw in public.
