(Isla) Halvon turned his attention back to the document he'd brought. I wanted to ask how he'd learned about the questions so quickly, but doing that would tell him we'd noticed the timing. Caius seemed to have the same thought. He finally took the seat across from Halvon. "When did this wolf disappear?" Caius asked. He picked up the document but didn't open it. "And when were you informed?" His question sounded ordinary. "Three days ago." Halvon rested his hands on the table. "I received word yesterday morning and began looking into it." He watched Caius. That explained why he'd had time to reach Wraithbone. It also meant whatever was happening had started before Elena came here. Her arrival might not have caused Halvon's visit after all. I wasn't sure whether that made me feel better
