Between the Gala, her forced hold over Dorian, and the illusive attitude of her Alpha, it was safe to say that Edie was incredibly curious about the faerie woman that lived in the Western district. She knew little of the woman, merely knowing that she was a faerie queen, was the girlfriend of the Nightshade Alpha, and was quite the pretty face. That Frost was interested in her at all was interesting, the Were woman assured that Frost could do much better than that. Of course, her mind had gone towards that Frost was attempting to sleep with the woman - why else would he bother? - she had yet to consider that there might be more, or that his intentions were anything less than pure. She knew Frost's more... devious ways... and yet she rarely assumed he used them. Frost had been nothing but kind to her, after all.

Still, since Frost seemed decided not to share the full story with his Beta, there was simply nothing more reasonable to do than to find out herself. So, since Kato was always disappearing in the mornings, she'd had little to do with her early mornings than stake out the apartment that she knew the faerie queen lived in. It was a dingy little thing compared to the luxury of the home she lived in with the rest of her pack. Of course, what could be expected given that this stupid queen seemed to want to live in the Western districts. There was nothing good there. Nothing but run down warehouses and beat up ships. A disgusting place. The fox tended to prefer the upper parts of town. Places she could get the clothing she enjoyed and pamper herself. This faerie queen, it seemed, had nothing in common with the young fox other than a fleeting desire to get Frost's attention. Edie would have to see to the end of that.

The woman had taken to a fire escape across the street, watching the apartment for hours upon end. She wasn't sure what she was looking for. A glimpse of the woman? She'd seen her once at the Gala, though she'd been preoccupied with her hatred of Nadya to really care one way or another. Now, she was sure she would discover exactly what it was that was going on. But really, all she'd discovered was that the building she lived in was decidedly quiet. The fox was very near giving up on her mission when she saw the door open, and out stepped the woman and Dorian. She was carrying those ridiculous, environmentally friendly grocery bags. She was a happy thing, smiling brightly as she spoke to Dorian in an almost human manner. From the distance, Edie couldn't quite make out what was being said.

Edie waited until they were out of sight before she moved quickly, hopping off the fire escape and darting across the street. It was too easy to navigate up to the queen's apartment, and even easier for the Were girl to use the bobby pin in her hair to pop the lock open and allow the door to swing open. If she were a kinder soul, the woman would have insisted that this queen get better security. But no, she was clearly an idiotic thing. Edie far too willing to see if she could get any information for her Alpha - or better yet, about her Alpha. The apartment was a decidedly grander thing than she'd expected. It was modern, the metal staircase one that Edie eyed warily until she was certain it was not the silver she expected. But no, she was the Alpha's girlfriend, right? Surely she wouldn't have anything too harmful here.

She was only several steps in when she bumped into the side table. The girl turned smoothly, catching the wobbling picture frame that seemed determined to fall off of it. A glimpse at the photo inside had Edie rolling her eyes. There, the blonde fae queen seemed far too excited to hang on the male in the photo, though to his credit, he didn't seem to smile. He looked happy, though. Almost like the pictures she took with Frost - not that he knew about those, of course. The faerie seemed delighted to be with her chosen boyfriend, and for a moment the Were girl merely stood staring at the picture, wondering what the hell Frost was doing here.
