The bed creaked as Sawyer rested his head next to mine. “You probably wouldn’t. Your father seemed like a decent man that would’ve accepted them into the pack regardless of their shifting abilities. Not all alphas are like that. They get turned away more often than even I realized.”

I peeked up at him as the horror of it washed over me. We craved the pack. It was our lifeblood. “That’s awful.”

He propped his head up on his elbow. “I know. That’s why they’re so desperate to be part of the pack now.”

I licked my lips and shook my head. “Is your dad actually going to follow through?”

Lincoln huffed out a laugh as he plopped down on the other side of me. “Definitely not. He’s always viewed our uncle as an invalid. Beneath us. And treated him like it, too.”

I rolled my tongue between my teeth. I lived under a shell. “I didn’t know this was a thing.” My heart sank. “It’s probably too late to offer them to come here, where they will actually be treated as an equal.”

How had no one ever told me about these guys? What kind of alpha was I? This was something I should’ve known. If I got the chance, I would rectify this. No wolf would be packless.

Sawyer put his hand on my belly, splaying his hands across it. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think of it. I would have told you if I had.”

“I know.” I put my hand over top his and sighed. “What’s done is done now. Will your father require them to accept him as alpha?”

Lincoln snorted. “Definitely. It’s what he does.” Lincoln skimmed his hand up and down my arm. “I’m surprised he’s let the men in the compounds who haven’t accepted him continue to live.”

Sawyer made a noise in the back of his throat. “Same. He has a plan for them. I’m just not sure what yet.”

That was concerning. And whatever this plan was it couldn’t be good for anyone.

Lincoln tucked his fingers under my chin, pulling gently so I had to turn to look at him. “Are you sure we shouldn’t change our timeline? We could send more people out tonight.”

We’d still have the element of surprise and fewer men to contend with when we got there. But moving that many people at once without being detected? The first team hadn’t checked in yet. For all I knew, their cover could be blown.

I pursed my lips as the weight of the world pinned my shoulders to the mattress. “No. I think we will stay the course. We can’t rush things now. The wolfsbane needs to be ready, and so do our people.”

I hope this wasn’t a decision I would come back to regret.

Sawyer rested his head next to mine as he fiddled with the drawstring of my pants. “You’re right we shouldn’t rush in. It’d be bad and just cause more chaos.”

I arched my back. I was glad he was agreeing with me, but it wasn’t helping me relax at all. My back and neck ached. The muscles pinching every time I turned my head.

Lincoln kissed my cheek. “She seems tense, Sawyer. Maybe we can help her unwind a little.”

Heat charged through me, and I whimpered. That hadn’t crossed my mind until now. A few minutes of sexy time with my men was probably just what I needed to take my mind off everything.

A smile tugged at the corners of my lips. “What exactly did you have in mind?” My voice came out husky.

Both men pushed up, so that they were hovering over me.

It was Sawyer who spoke. “What do you think?” He glanced at Lincoln. “Should we take her at the same time again?”

Lincoln dipped his head down and nipped my lips. “I do love the taste of her. What do you think, sweetheart? Do you want to take both our cocks at the same time, or did you like having one of us in your mouth?”

I shivered and forgot how to breathe for a second. How was I supposed to decide that? Anytime I was with them it was heaven on earth.

Sawyer‘s fingers tiptoed up my belly to my chest, and he gave my breast a gentle squeeze through my tank top.

I sucked in a deep breath as white burst behind my eyes. I was already so turned on; it didn’t matter what they did to me at this point.

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. I tried again. “Whatever you guys want.” They would take care of me. They always did.

Sawyer pecked my lips this time. He chuckled against them, his warm breath whispering over my face. “Our choice. Are you sure you can handle that, sweetheart?”

Luna did I love when they talked dirty to me like this. I wasn’t capable of forming an actual sentence, so I mumbled out an, “Mmmmhmmm.”
