If you like music while you read, try "Anyone" by Corvyx. It's what I listened to while writing and sets the perfect tone for Zev's heart here!

~ ZEV ~
It was midnight and Sasha was falling apart. Something had shifted during the course of the day. Zev's heart slammed against his ribs in panic—his mate was falling apart, and his baby… his son… something was wrong.
"Let me take him," Zev said quietly, reaching for the tiny bundle. Their son whose cry was growing weaker. He was exhausted, only sleeping twenty minutes at a time, and feeding less and less.
Sasha's eyes had gone hollow and she was barely talking. Zev had sent Skhal to get Jayah hours earlier, but there was no news. Nothing. Skhal was out of the range of the mindlink. And who knew if he'd even be able to bring her back? What if he was caught trying to find her? They didn't know who he was to Jayah. They might kill him on sight.
