Chapter 445: Ready... Set...

~ ZEV ~

They left him standing there, staring, in front of that awful shack. If it had been anyone but Nick, Zev would have felt bad. But instead he wished they could have hurt him more.

They turned back towards the trail, holding hands, Zev's heart thrumming too quickly, but not hard. Sasha didn't mention him shifting, or them rushing back, so he walked on with her while she obviously processed everything that had happened. Everything they were about to do.

"How long do you think it will take for him to realize we're serious?" she asked several minutes later when they were down the trail, walking with purpose, but not fast.
