So the werewolves arent mindless killing machines but more like a "sleeper agents" which gets triggered by orders? Tunc wouldn't want to kill Niixas father but if hes ordered to do it he needs to do it?

These werewolves were created by Sisari and are bound to her power and most importantly her will. As a result all the werewolves produced from her special strain of lycanthropy must obey her and submit to her will as shown by their yellow eyes (same as Sisari's). Which as shown before Sisari is using Lore as a willing meat suit and delegating her power to her while using her as a puppet.

Now the fun part of this is that none of the werewolves have ever been mindless killers. Since they are all fully aware of what they are doing but are effectively drunk on primal power and altered instincts warping their minds even when not transformed. As an extra fun part its been shown that they largely maintain their memories when not transformed complete with a good helping of lasting mind alteration and a helping of addiction to the primal power.

As for Tunc he is normally able to resist the addictive mind altering power with the help of his own and Callie's magic suppressing it. But in this case due to being in proximity of Sisari's, its impossible for him to resist. Which the fact that Callie is also infected and naturally unable to help him or even herself doubling down on that.

Somebody else who noticed the momentary yellow gleam.

You mean like on page 56? Yea that does tend to give us a clue that Lorelie is either possess or that this is not Lorelei. Then again, Nixia father seems to be under the impression that she does not have a choice in acting that way if she is to survive this. So even though we have been led to believe that Lorelie was impervious to possession she might still be possessed if she willingly permits it to happen, having no other choice for reasons we are still not aware of. And since it seems that they are traveling off word Sisary can only survive if she is inside a real living body like when she did possess Nixia way back when. Hum, what can go wrong to have Sisary plans fall appart?... Then again, why would she bring all of them off world where she is more at risk than on thier homeworld?

poor tunc

There it is. That's the moment - the precise point where the Batman Gambit becomes truly apparent... once you start asking the *right* questions.

I gotta say, Tunc's really mastered the puppy eyes

Still wonder if that is really Lorelei. Sound more like she is posses by Sisary or it's not Lorelei at all and impersonalization by Sisary. Then again like on page 37, Nixia father might be the only one who can clearly see what’s happening. Let just say that he had more than enough practice at seeing and dealing with foul play. He seems to be under the impression that Lorelei is dealing the only card in her possession and that she does not have a choice in acting that way if she is to survive this.

You forget - there would be *two* of them in Lore now.

?? Two of them? Ok, I don't remember reading that...

Think about it.

Well, I know about the Lorelie in the black tapestry, but that is a somewhat different story. Here, I just don't remember reading anything that would support that. Either I miss something which is likely in view of the extent of this story, or it's something else.
The only thing I can come up with is that it's either Sisary in disguise, Lorelie being possessed which is unlikely, or she is coerced in doing so for unknown reasons.
I guess I'll have to wait and see like everyone else.

A recap then, of what's been established previously in the comic:

Sisari has been seen or glimpsed most often as the white lady, or eyes watching, or controlling another character, or in semi-corporeal 'damaged' form when something goes awry. When she inhabits or influences somebody else, it's always another Draekon person.

Endy's inner spirit is Fahrook. After Sisari, we saw him first, but Endy was unconscious at the time and still needed some heavy convincing later from:

Gruff / Taisherou. When Gruff was revealed as a 'dragon' it was a wham moment, but really we should have seen it coming. Only Gruff could have reached out offworld to get supplies for the tavern, which he handwaved away when we first saw him with 'magic'. Why he happens to be as bent as a nine-bob note is it's probably an act, but he was left in a servile form - a dog - by Sisari, with full awareness of who he actually is, and Sisari watching him constantly whenever she's been able. When he's been an antagonist, it's out of desperation.

Niixa's inner spirit is Aisha, the most well-hidden of the Draekons; so much so that when Sisari possessed Niixa for a time she didn't even detect Aisha's presence. Aisha still hasn't been revealed. Astute readers were able to figure it out though from subtle visual clues dotted here and there in earlier chapters.

Thus by a process of elimination, Lorelei is housing Leilani, appropriately the most devious one. Lore's totem is sapient and can speak; this is probably Leilani herself reaching out. None of this has ever been stated, but strongly hinted at reading between the lines. Among other things Leilani was the one Sisari 'got to first'.

The last time Sisari's 'unshakeable' power was undone, it was from Leilani appearing to act neutral but secretly manipulating Fahrook's emotional strengths and weaknesses and his loyalties so that he would have a 'evolution' moment and learn the ultimate truth. With Leilani and Sisari both inside the same 'host' now, I'm convinced something similar is happening again. Sisari is calling the shots, but Leilani is mentally pushing just hard enough so that the right people can be made to do what she'd expect them to, while at the same time letting out enough rope for Sisari to ultimately hang herself with.
