~ SASHA ~
Sasha had a rough night. And it only got rougher.
Zan had woken every hour or two, fussy and wailing, but rarely wanting to feed. At first Sasha thought he'd just picked up on the tension between her and Zev. But when he woke for the third time and didn't eat she started to worry.
At that point Zev was asleep, sprawled in the furs, his back bare, head turned and one hand reached across towards her.
Sasha's heart squeezed. He'd stayed out late talking to the wolf emissaries sent by the Anima.
She'd tried to wait up for him, to be awake to talk to him when he got to the cave. She wanted to try to soothe his pride about her orders around Tarkyn and taking control there. But she was exhausted. When Zan slept, she couldn't keep her eyes open.
