If you like music while you read, try "Shouldn't be a Good in Goodbye" by Jason Walker. It's what I listened to while writing this chapter and the next!

~ ZEV ~
Zev was in the middle of snarling at Jhon, who'd found Sasha's trail and was leading a handful of wolves on the trail when Lhars' sending came through and every wolf within reach shuddered.
Sasha's eyes, her voice, resonant with conviction and the Alpha's authority.
Stand down.
She was going to the human world for a good purpose.
Zev was to lead only after she'd walked the gateway.
Zev screamed "NO!" as he felt Jhon and the others slide to a halt, snarling, licking their lips, their heads dropping.
Lhars. Fucking Lhars coaching her—it had be to. The images had the texture and color of a moment sent—he'd been a witness and showing them what he saw. But Sasha hadn't shown that kind of control before. She hadn't had that… power.
