329 Really Happening

~ SASHA ~

When they'd pulled into the parking lot, Sasha recognized the bathroom building Nick had stopped at on their way out, and her heart just about broke open with hope and thrill.

They really were going to the gateway.

She couldn't shake the feeling that she couldn't trust any of this. But the first step was done.

Now she stood outside the bus, on that gravel parking lot where Nick's car had been parked when they came out, about to take the twenty minute walk up to the gateway cave.

At her order before they opened the bus doors, the little alphas were gathering their small groups first on the vehicle, then down on the ground outside, making sure everyone had their bag, and a partner.

Sasha, unable to move without shaking, forced herself to stand to the side and watch. Let the alphas organize their groups.
