Chapter 151-160

Chapter 151
Eyes stinging with lack of sleep, but body humming with anticipation, Zev stalked through the village, Dunken at his shoulder, glaring at every male they passed as if he might challenge Zev on the spot.

“I really don’t think it’s going to be a problem,” he said to his friend with a smile.

“No harm in being prepared,” Dunken said. “Sasha-dan gives them too many reasons to consider her, so let’s balance it out.”

Zev shook his head, but didn’t interfere when Dunken raised a lip at one of the Tigers, sitting at the foot of the tree in the center of the village. The tiger snarled, but didn’t get to his feet.

Zev ignored him. As Alpha, he could ignore most of them if he chose, though it wasn’t his way. But he would do everything he could to avoid conflict today of all days. If someone wanted to show off, or challenge, or bait him, let them do it when he and Sasha were safely mated and back from their solitude.

The solitude…

Every time he thought of all that time alone with Sasha, the freedom to do whatever they chose, whenever they chose, his entire chest squeezed. Then his ribs would ache and he’d be reminded the other reasons why he wanted to avoid all possible conflict today.
