ZINA
Zelkov told her a lot. From how Zina's name and his was from her mother due to a Pack tradition. It was called the tradition of the beginning and end.
Apparently, children of the pack were named alphabetically but with an interesting twist. Instead of A, B, C, D… and so on, it went; A, Z, B, Y, C, X… and so on.
Hence, her mother an only child of the previous Alpha was named Ameneris a name that started with A, so she and Zelkov had been named names that started with Z.
Zina wondered if her mother's captors thought they were doing her a favour by ensuring that she was named as she wanted. Or perhaps, they were just playing a crude joke on the poor woman whose child was probably ripped away from her arms.
Zelkov confessed that he had only known her mother for hours as the day he had been brought back to the Pack was the day the pack was executed, but the way he spoke of her mom, one would think he had known the woman all her life.
