Chapter 295: Saw You Coming

~ SASHA ~ 

"What does she say?" a voice cried from nearer the cave mouth.

All eyes turned from Vayl to Sasha, who stood in the spotlight, stunned. "I… I don't know what you're talking about."

"We aren't ignorant to the human schemes," Vayl said tightly. "They farm us like cattle. But their efforts have slowed greatly in the past few months. So… do they plan to slaughter us? Or do you bring hope, Sasha?"

"Hope? I mean, yes, I bring hope, but I'm by no means certain—"

"Are you carrying Zev's pup?" someone else called.

"I… I don't think so. Not yet."

A murmur rippled through the gathered females and Sasha shook her head. "I'm sorry, I'm missing something. You said something about a… a prophecy? And blood? I don't understand—"

Vayl's eyes narrowed and she looked over her shoulder at the females that had stayed close when they were out in front of Nick and who all remained just behind her now. The women nodded.
