Fifteen

The car tires crunched under the gravel as we made our way down the drive to the Wolf Blood estate. A few men waited out front. They had blood smeared all over their clothes.

Blood seemed to be something they wore like a badge of honor. I guess that’s why they were called Pack Wolf Blood. They enjoyed getting the blood of other wolves on them.

My stomach turned. How could anyone turn on their pack and come here willingly? There was something very wrong with these people. I prayed Luna punished them in the afterlife.

Sawyer slowed the car as we approached the house. “Lincoln, take Sloane and show her the waterfall we like. She hasn’t shifted since arriving. It would be good for her to get out.”

Lincoln looked at Sawyer, then at the men who were grinning from ear to ear. “Yeah. Why don’t you meet us back there?”

Sawyer grunted and stopped the car hard enough to make us all rock forward. “Don’t wait for me. I don’t know how long I’ll be.”

The weight in my chest pressed against me like one of those men was digging his heel into my chest. I drew in a deep breath, but it didn’t help.

The apprehension wasn’t mine. It was Sawyer’s.

It hit me like a ton of bricks. These men were waiting for him so they could help him carry out the torture of the rogues.

No wonder he didn’t want me here. This day was going from one bad thing to another. It couldn’t possibly get worse. I hoped.

Lincoln got out of the car and opened my door. He didn’t give me a chance to get out before he grasped my arm and hauled me out, barely giving me enough time to unbuckle. “Come on.”

I let him drag me down the drive toward the back of the house, but I chanced one last look at Sawyer over my shoulder.

The men were slapping him on the back and pulling him toward one of the outbuildings on the far side.

He looked up and caught my eye for a moment. His brows dropped into a frown, and he shook his head and turned, moving in the direction of the building.

My stomach plummeted and knotted.

Lincoln pulled me harder toward the woods. “Come on. We can run it out. Most of the pack will be wanting to watch the interrogation. We’ll have the woods to ourselves.”

“They watch?” My words came out in a choked whisper.

Lincoln gave me a sympathetic look. “Yeah. Some of them really enjoy it. It’s best if we are as far away from here as we can be. It can get pretty gruesome.”

“And Sawyer… He’s going to…” I couldn’t finish. Emotion clogged my throat.

Lincoln didn’t stop walking. If anything, we were moving faster now. “Sawyer does what he has to. It’s important that he stays in our father’s favor. He, unfortunately, has a part to play. If our dad ever suspected him of defiance, I don’t know what he’d do.”

I froze. “He’d kill him.”

My body went leaden.
