~ SASHA ~
Before she had any chance to react, or even scream, Sasha hit the floor with a bang, her tailbone shuddering with pain. But she was pinned, the weight of the massive wolf ensuring she couldn't move. A guttural snarl and snapping teeth became all she could see and hear.
She'd barely sucked in a breath, her brain screaming, waiting for the pierce of teeth on skin, when Nick bellowed, "She might be carrying his pups!"
The wolf, standing over her, paws on her shoulders, teeth just an inch from her face, froze. But her growl continued to putter through the room, her lips peeled back from her teeth, and the hair on the back of her neck and shoulders standing inches off the rest of her body.
Sasha found herself frozen in that pure blue gaze, so reminiscent of Zev's, and despite the fear jangling through her, she could see the pain and fear in those eyes. Compassion swelled her chest.
