A howl went out through the forest, originating from the king's lungs, calling for Zilas to approach him. Given the multitude of responsibilities and distractions rendered unto the beast, he had not had the time available as he wished to spend with the pitiful boy. There were goals within his head in regards to Zilas, a certain place to which he wanted to get the silver lad. To strengthen him, to build up his confidence, to turn in him into the most loyal and effective of soldiers. Given the many parasites that had sought to drain Zilas of his potential and ability, however, it was clear that it would take special attention to reach this end.
Gent was willing to put in such abundant effort, however. Given the plans laid out concerning Kova's future in the pack, and what it all would mean for the present king, he wanted to be certain that when he handed over his palace, he would not be leaving it empty pawed. The others would be given their choice when the day came, but it was determined already within the leviathan's head that Zilas would be coming with him regardless. It was already viewed within the man's head that he owned the other wolf, just as he did @Raela, @Danica and the children, and with that belonging to him came an extra level of care.
He would speak with Zilas about what he planned, and hopefully the silver boy would continue to cooperate.
