Capítulo 99: Bonded

~ ZEV ~

His shaking was worrying Sasha, so he changed the subject from the breeding—they agreed that until the humans were gone and they could get more information about what had occurred today, there was no point speculating further. But Zev could see that Dunken was shaken by the idea of what was happening to the females—and what else it might entail that Zev didn't even know.

It took a good hour for Zev to stop shaking after going back into that memory of the breeding arena and the females. But having Sasha so warm and close, the fox hole filled with her scent, her head resting on his shoulder and arms hugging his… it was everything he'd yearned for for so long that it helped his heart ease.

A couple hours after the humans began their search, the three of them were quiet, and Sasha began to doze, her temple resting against his upper arm.
