~ ZEV ~
To his right, Sasha was becoming agitated. "No, we can't wait. You don't understand. Once Nick returns there might be no time left. The humans will likely learn that Zev was on his device, and once they come through, they'll own the Gateway. We can't afford to give them any time, any at all. You are to pack your people—focus on clothing, tools, and food rations for three days. No more. The place we're going has plenty of resources. But it may take us some time to find a place to settle and hunt."
She caught eyes with Zev and he nodded, encouraging her. But she only looked away, her jaw flexing.
Where the hell was Lhars!?
Jhon had gone to pack and perhaps rest for an hour when they reached the City. But Skhal stayed nearby, helping organize people and watching over Zev and Sasha.
Yhet, too, seemed agitated, staying close and not giving ground even when the Alphas entered his space.
