It is odd, not coming across Covet's scent when I do border patrol. I don't know what became of him and though it's no secret that I didn't like him, I also don't want him to go up and missing without a trace. He's still supposed to be our prisoner, after all. I recall hearing my lovely Vega's voice calling out to him to talk and yet there was no answer. You can stand me up all you want for a trial I would think he would have wanted but to stand up my mate and queen? That's a no-no. So I do not hold any pleasant feelings for the male but he needs to show himself and explain why he's no longer making a presence in my borders. That's all I'm saying. As for Hyrule, I knew he was inside his den as I walked by, probably goofing off or making picture out of the dirt on his ceiling or something. No telling with him. I do expect him to go far in life and I hope to give him a rank soon for his help but he has yet to report to me so I have to give him the same fairness as everyone else, right?

He's still considered young though so at least he's got plenty of time. I recall the stories of the other wolves who dared to make enemies of the angels and most of them seem to have short life spans so maybe Covet's disappearance is not a coincidence. Maybe he pissed off the wrong angel, or Heyel struck him with a bolt of lightening or something. I knew Hyrule would know how to track me so I don't go slow in my trek to the tree on the edges of Diveen. I like it's location, just shady enough to block out the heat of the sun and yet it lets in little shafts of sunlight to highlight the beauty of my coat. Hyrule nods his head to me in greeting as he approaches and I return it with a small twitch of my lips, watching him cross his legs. Such an odd habit but I've been noticing it more lately. I wonder where he picked that up from.

I am sure I'll have to find Guardian to report my findings but knowing him, he'll be lurking somewhere close by to hear anyway. At least he's one eavesdropper I don't mind listening. I don't make him wait before I start speaking. I'm not one to beat around the bush. I guess I didn't get all the flowery words from Heyel's side of the family but at least I got the looks and brains. I can tell by his smug look that he does indeed know something about Zeus and I know he's going to tell me, whether I have to drag it out of him or not. At his question, my tail flicks, the only hint that I wasn't expecting to have to be specific. My eyes grow impatient as he lists off things I have already been told. He does give a little bit of important information by saying he's older but that's something I could have guessed from the moment I see this Zeus fellow.

A scowl forms on my lips when he actually finds time to scold me about border patrol. I happen to think I'm great at my part of the job so maybe he should be scolding Guardian or Solara or one of those wolves, someone who's supposed to be doing border patrol. I do listen carefully, my ears pricked, as he says that Zeus has a vendetta against angels for doing something to his family. Of course he can't be talking about my generation so it must be something from the past. Gotta love how wolves keep choosing to attack us for things our ancestors did. I snort. "Yes, fortunate. I knew that Covet and he were meeting on the borders. Maybe I was using Covet as bait, ever think of that? Don't underestimate me, cousin. I knew you would trail him. Aren't you lucky I'm a kind enough alpha to leave bread crumbs for my followers to come across. Makes your job a tad bit easier, eh? You're welcome for that."

I allow time for it all to sink in so that maybe he wouldn't wear that grin so...grinnily. See? I can outsmart a Heyel look-alike too. I did after all get plenty of practice with the great Angel King himself. I learned well how to loop my words around to make me seem like the cunning one even if some of the words are just hot air. Oh, but I make them sound bad ass, I know. "I guess I mostly wanted to know where he is at this present time but I'm guessing since you were snoozing in your den that you don't know that." I leave that last barb with a teasing look in my eyes even as he offers up more words, but this time my eyes widen in shock and my tail flicks behind me in genuine surprise. Guardian...a father? I shake my head, recovering quickly, clearing my throat. "Sufficient enough to get the plans in order, I suppose. Amir wants to help catch him because he wants to take him alive. We need to make it as low risk as possible for the wolves involved so that he can get his answers and then...well, we take Zeus out of the picture."
