~ ZEV ~
Zev watched Sasha disappear deeper into the village to find Nick, and almost ran after her. Almost ran past her. Almost shifted into his wolf and began to hunt. But he knew he couldn't. Not only was he likely to kill Nick if he confronted him, but he wouldn't be able to trust the answers he got.
No. He needed a different plan.
First, he went to find Lhars and Skhal, who'd apparently come out this way on patrol that morning. Kyelle had told him that Lhars was going to grab a few things from her house for her, and Skhal was sticking around the village because he wanted to know how Sasha and Zev's meeting had gone with the Creatures.
It didn't take long for Zev to find Lhars—who seemed very preoccupied, but not angry. And they followed Skhal's trail to the trough, though Nick's was there too, so Zev sent Lhars in to get him, just in case.
