I have to say, since we have no idea what amount of time that Volume 4 covered overall and how much time was between each of the events or how far apart from each other on the timeline the various different storylines are, it's entirely possible that things went like this:


 * Salem: "Hazel, go meet with Sienna and ensure he'll be as loyal to us as Adam is." What we don't know is that Hazel had previously been told what to do if Sienna decides not to be loyal.


 * Hazel meets with Sienna, and Sienna doesn't want to play along.


 * Hazel executes the "In case of Sienna refusing to be loyal" order and contacts Adam.


 * Adam's role is now to stage a coup and take over the White Fang so that Salem will have a willing and loyal pawn leading the White Fang. Adam begins making these plans.


 * Ilia ends up with files about this plan on her Scroll. Adam receives word from the Albains that Blake is in Menagerie, so he sends Ilia to spy on her.


 * Ilia goes to Menagerie and spies on Blake, who throws Sun's Scroll into the trees. The Scroll hits Ilia, who makes a sound, thus alerting Blake and Sun to her presence, and we know what happens next.
