Blackfeather Woods The Fool and the Queen

As Akela saw the dark wolf, he was thrown back , momentarily seeing Catori in front of him. She had not been as affected by her pregnancy as Meldresi right now, the wolf could see her fatigue, and her struggle, but did not comment on it. Wolves like her were proud creatures. He was not going to bother her for long, better let her go back to her resting nest.  The wolf sat down.  "A while. " he spoke and licked his lips.  He was remembering meeting Burke and oddly staying with him to get through the harsh winter months. They had become close in a long harsh winter. Not wanting to give away everything just yet, he remained vague about the precise dates.  "We helped each other through a rough winter. " he explained.  " Quite ironically, I'm the one who told him about you and the Brotherhood. We were looking for you...he found your first, lucky bastard " Akela smiled softly.

The wolf looked back at Meldresi, to be able to see her with his good eye. "I do admit that I wish to know the truth from the stories and myths surrounding you and your ways. "
