I blinked my eyes back open. “It’s hard to believe this isn’t real. You both feel so…”
I trailed off as I felt Sawyer’s member already hardening behind me.
Sawyer pressed against me. “It’s real, Sloane. We might be miles apart physically, but right now, we are all right here.”
I let my eyes flutter closed and sighed. This was perfect, and I just wanted to take a moment to remember it. It could be a while before the three of us were together like this again.
Once Lincoln was free, Alpha Dane would be out for blood. Sawyer might not get a chance to rest. Not to mention, there was the horrible possibility that he might get caught.
No. No. I wasn’t going to think like that.
Sawyer kissed my shoulder. “It’s going to be okay.”
Before I could say anything to either of them, a blaring alarm ripped through the room, jolting me out of our shared dream and back to the reality of my bedroom. Only the shrill siren didn’t stop once I was awake.
My heart seized. Oh god. What now?

Sloane
I shot up, shoving the covers off me. The alarm screamed, and I could hear yelling from outside.
This couldn’t be happening. Sawyer and Lincoln would have told me if Alpha Dane was coming. Unless they didn’t know.
And if they didn’t know, it meant Sawyer was out of the loop and his dad suspected him.
Oh no. What if he was in danger too?
I rolled out of bed, darted across the room, and threw my door open. The house was in chaos. People were running around. Girls were crying in their doorways.
It wasn’t like last time. I didn’t see my mom, but I did see Willa down the hall. She was standing in her doorway, her face as white as a ghost.
I jogged down the hall to her and pulled her into a hug.
Willa fell against me, hiding her face in my shoulder. She clung to me like I was her lifeline. “Jacob is on patrol tonight. He isn’t talking to me. What’s happening?”
I licked my lips as my mind reeled, trying to come up with an answer I didn’t have.
I looked up and down the hall for any sign of my mom. My pulse raced, and I was afraid my heart might beat out of my chest. What was going on?
Someone had tripped the alarm. Maybe more reinforcements had arrived.
My mom came racing up the stairs, one hand clutching the banister and the other waving at us. When she reached the top, she put a hand on her chest and drew in a few deep breaths.
She glanced up and down the hallway before clearing her throat. “It’s okay. Try to go back to bed if you can. The situation has been contained.”
The girls murmured to themselves and then filed back into their bedrooms, closing the doors behind them.
My mom assured a few more people before hurrying toward Willa and me.
Willa let go of me and grasped my mom’s arms. “Is Jacob okay?”
My mom gave her a small smile and patted her cheek. “He’s fine. No one was injured.” She turned to me, the smile slipping from her face. “We found three wolves spying on us. We aren’t sure if they saw us mobilizing. Your father wants to leave within the hour while we might still have the element of surprise.”
I wrapped my arms around my middle and nodded. My stomach felt empty, hollow.
Willa whirled around, her eyes wide. “Sloane, please stay.”
