However it turns out that he is slowly poisoning Alric as he wants to be the next leader and he is chased away by the pack. With her father well again thanks to Segolia's Dr Whitewood Jana decides to return to Newcastle but not everybody opts to go with her.

Following adverse publicity the Wolfbloods are rounded up by Segolia's national leader Victoria to have their lupine qualities removed as Protocol 5, with Matei discovering who caused the fire in which his parents died. Imara helps them escape but Jana opts to remain as a hostage, However, thanks to Dr Whitewood, the plan to remove her wolf qualities is foiled.
