397 Death Knell

If you like music while you read, try "Land of Confusion – Epic Trailer Version" by Hidden Citizen. It's what I was listening to while writing these chapters!

~ SASHA ~

Even in his wolf, Sasha could feel the tension in Zev. His shoulders were a solid block of marble under her hands, and his gait was stilted. 

Zev, are you okay? she thought to him, but he shook his head so hard his ears flapped.

Just give me a minute. We aren't going far.

His voice sounded dead in her head and it made her nerves spike, but true to his word he didn't run far. Just a couple minutes later he veered off the trail, pushing through bushes and between trees, until the trees opened to reveal a dip in the land and a creek, about six feet across.

The water gurgled and danced quietly, and the wind rustled the leaves of the trees overhead, but there was no other sound.
