Chương 90: Poison

~ ZEV ~

Zev crept through the trees, barely breathing. He'd heard Xar call the males to order a minute earlier, but he'd been so distracted thinking of Sasha, he hadn't paid attention to what was happening and was still creeping a wide berth around the village to his hiding place. The humans might search when this was done. He didn't want to leave any trail they could follow.

He walked slowly, silently, knowing the humans were unlikely to be paying enough attention to hear any of his movement over the crowd. But there was no harm in taking extra care.

He passed within fifty feet of the fox hole and caught a whiff of Sasha in there with Dunken. His heartrate eased a little then. His friend had done as he'd asked. He was relieved.
