@Nelson Mandela Well, they were actively looking for the MC in that approximate area so it wasn't like they were combing the planet for him.  If the MC was smart, he wouldn't have stuck to the relatively same geographic area and would have instead kept his retreat home somewhere extremely inaccessible where it only worked to live if the user had the ability to teleport and also where he could easily see people coming for him.  Since he can obviously move his house wherever he wanted to, he should have had it built in one location and migrated to another.

The MC also had dozens of hideouts and bunkers he could have fled to if needed.  I mean, even if he planned to reinforce his current hideout, he should have left his family somewhere more secure and undiscovered while he did that.  At least be a little sensible and give it a month where you observe if people come for you.

I can't wait for the inevitable moon base that the MC is obviously going to build.

@Prinzinc MC cannot teleport an entire house at once (and teleporting it in sections would be sure to have issues), so it was always necessary that there be people where he built it. What would have been smarter, however, would have been to have the werewolves build it by teleporting them to the remote location in question. These are marginal improvements, however. There's always a trail. They weren't combing the planet because they had already narrowed it down, but recall that they combed the planet to find those clues that narrowed it down and would have continued to do so if they hadn't been able to triangulate him so neatly. Mages are incredibly powerful and can influence mundande governments. Harnessing satellite imagery and government surveillance and tracking techniques (that are quite frightening when focused on a single target) would have surely found him. Staying mobile would be the only way, and even that has its downsides (pick one wrong site, for example, and unexpected local supernaturals might spot him). Not to mention, staying mobile is very stressful for a family, so he was going to have to settle down at some point. I do agree an observation period would have been prudent, given he expected the attack.
