ZANDER'S POVThe door to my quarters was closed. I was so nervousabout seeing Hazel.She tried to talk to me the morning after I wokeup from the sleeping gas, but I ignored her. If it wasn't for her and Timothywe all would be dead. She told Timothy that her intuition was telling her thatsomething was wrong, so he used his wolf hearing and listened in on the chaosinside.
