~ ZEV ~
Zev's entire body went cold. Colder than Xar's smile as the old tiger's eyes slid away to focus on something behind Zev. As if Zev wasn't even there.
No.
NO.
Shunning meant the Chimera wouldn't even see him. Would ignore anything he said.
"You can't—" he snarled. But Xar's eyes were sharp and his smile smug as he turned away, turned that smile from Zev to address the crowd that was barking, roaring, calling—some in protest, others in excitement. The cacophony of the clans made Zev want to cover his ears. He had to focus!
Scanning the faces of those who were present, it was clear Lhars had made some friends since Zev had been gone. Even the wolves seemed to be split in their responses to this news, some applauding, others protesting with teeth bared. Despite Zev's previous power and respect, some of his own clan would call for his removal?
Shit.
