@vesperagravemire maybe Noah should run away and tell his dad, they both try to leave to NY Daimion catches them and trys to win Noah back without kidnapping him. It'll give Noah some autonmy in the relationship which I'd think make him more receptive to Denmain. Just cuz he's older doesn't mean he's right. And I'd love to see Noah rub that in his face before he folds. The situation would cause Noah's dad to become more watchful, since they can't really leave, and the pack grows on them. This is an opportunity to foster a better parent child bond.
