He closed the distance between us and cupped my face, rubbing his thumb under my eye. “You’ve been crying. What’s wrong?”

My bottom lip trembled, and tears pricked my eyes again. “It’s Lincoln. He had a seizure, and his fever spiked.”

I fell into his arms, and he wrapped me in his warm embrace. I inhaled his earthy pine scent as I buried my nose in the crook of his neck.

“He’s stable for now, but my mom doesn’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing yet. I’m afraid we have to wait it out.”

Sawyer held me close, knocking the towel loose, and chuckled. “Sorry.”

I yanked the towel off and tossed it at the hamper. A few rivulets of water dribbled down my back. “It’s okay.”

Sawyer cupped the back of my head. “Lincoln is strong. We have to believe that he’s going to be okay.”

I nodded and closed my eyes. Just being in Sawyer’s strong, safe grip helped relieve the tension between my shoulder blades. “I know. It’s so scary. You didn’t see him.”

Sawyer rubbed his hand up and down my back. “I’m so sorry I couldn’t be here for you. It was my dad.”

Sawyer pulled back and put both his hands on my cheeks so I had to look up at him. “Sloane, about fifty more men came to our pack tonight. They came of their own volition just because they heard about what my dad was doing. I don’t know how many more others like them there are.”

I frowned as I stared at Sawyer’s horrified expression. “They came willingly? Without coercion?”

Sawyer briefly closed his eyes and nodded. “They called my dad up when they were on their way. I’m not even sure where they’re from. I just know that he asked me to go greet them. I’d have been here sooner if I could have. I felt your distress and your fear and worry. I wanted to come.”

I put my hands on his shoulders and leaned my forehead against his. “You have to keep yourself safe, Sawyer. I know why you couldn’t come. My mom and dad were here.”

Sawyer’s shoulders sagged. “I feel like I let you down.”

I tilted forward and captured his lips, pressing a soft, chaste kiss to them. “You’re not letting us down. You’re protecting us the best way you can. We all have our parts to play, and now we need to see them through.”

Sawyer cleared his throat and took a step back. “I just wish this was all over now.”

I wrapped myself in a hug, hoping it would help the chill now that I wasn’t touching him. “Me too. I don’t think it’s going to be over for a while yet.”

That was the thing that scared me the most. This war was just beginning. The packs here stood to lose everything, and we could never back down. Alpha Dane would never negotiate.

The only option we had was to fight. I wasn’t going to give up. Alpha Dane was a monster, and he needed to be stopped.

Sawyer scrubbed a hand over his face, and his eyes glazed over as he once again took in my naked state.

Heat pulled low in my belly, and I shifted on my feet. Sawyer’s nostrils flared, and he sucked in a deep breath before he closed the distance between us.

His lips crushed against mine, and his hands went to my hips and then lifted me on top of the counter.

I fumbled with his jeans, flicking the fly open and then shoving them down.

Sawyer pulled away from me, making our lips pop. He yanked his shirt off and kicked his jeans and boxers off before he caught my mouth again.

I reached between us, grasping his cock and pumping it lightly before guiding him toward my entrance. He pushed in with one hard thrust, making us both moan.

I locked my legs around his back, pulling him deeper as I arched my hips. He thrust against me hard and fast. Our bodies slapped together, the sound growing louder with each thrust.

He reached between us, going for my nipple. He rolled it into a tight bud, using his thumb and forefinger, tweaking it every couple of seconds.

Our mouths melted together, our tongues clashing with each other. I trailed my arms up and down his back. His skin was smooth and the heat of it against me was driving me crazy. I needed more of him.

His other arm went to my butt, and he pulled me a little closer, tilting me so he was hitting me at an entirely new angle.

Sawyer pumped into me faster, grunting louder with each one. I was already teetering on the edge, so close to an orgasm, and I could tell he was too by the taut muscles in his back as I ran my fingers up and down it.
