~ ZEV ~
After what Nick had said to Sasha about the females getting weaker, she and Kyelle spent the next three days helping the females grieve the lost sister—and urging them to step out and face their fears. To begin to live. To get out of the hall and start interacting with the males. And while the females weren't going to integrate fully with the males in the City yet, they were already beginning to see some progress.
Zev was grateful for the boost of encouragement it gave Sasha, who was still struggling with knowing they'd lost a baby.
Zev hated feeling so helpless, so uncertain, but he just held her and together they tried to look forward, to a new life uninterrupted by the humans.
They both prayed that their hopes for the new life in the safe land weren't foolish.
