Zale returned with Sabian, but there was another extra person, who came with the two of them, it was Nala.
When she heard Lou called for Sabian, she insisted to come and despite Zale sharp refusal to not take her with them, the woman didn't want to listen at all and came along anyway.
Knowing the situation and they were in the critical time, Zale let that woman came too.
Zephyr asked him why he took Sabian and Nala with him to the area they found Aliana and the other, but Zale only explained Lou needed them and Ethan said not to let the other to come without his permission.
Zephyr said nothing, but he watched as the young shifter shifted into his beast, so did Nala, while Sabian followed the two of them. He was deep in thought. He had his own speculation, but he didn't have proof for that.
"Master… what are you doing here?" Sabian asked, panting. He was too old for going down here and it took him forever to be able to reach this spot alive.
