There’s also even more possibilites that unravels the event problem. N as a lost wolf. N as somehow already privy to the Illuminati information, which is true, and who suspects Apprentice to be against them, or even possibly knows Apprentice to not be the wolf who does not have a 100% wolf allignment.
There are so many possibilities that make the event clear shaky as hell, and killing a dying wolf is no better.
