“No.”
“Keep us in the loop. And we’ll let you know if anything changes.”
They waited until the door closed behind him. Nick hooked his arm around Sawyer’s neck and dragged him outside. “Don’t get all moody on me again. Where are all of your bodyguards?”
Sawyer rolled his eyes. “I’m not moody.”
Nick snorted.
Sawyer sighed. “Fine. I’m a little moody. Cut me a break already, would you?”
It was Nick’s turn to roll his eyes. Sawyer couldn’t really blame him. Like Nick would ever actually cut Sawyer a break. Loch appeared as soon as they stepped outside the clinic doors with Nick’s mate, Jedrek, by his side. Eduard followed, typing furiously into his phone. Draco and Saeward came around the corner of the house with Henry and his younger brother Ollie between them. Andvari stood by the gate with Solomon, the new alpha of the hellhounds.
All of his mates with him. Sawyer breathed and relaxed a little.
“Come on. Jedrek will do his portal thing for us, and then he can portal you home from there. Man, I gotta tell you, I like this whole travel by portal thing. Cool, right? And, I hate to point out the obvious little brother, but none ofyourmates can do that.”
Sawyer laughed and tickled Nick’s ribs. His brother yelped and finally released Sawyer from his hold. “What have I told you about that?”
Sawyer grinned and darted toward Draco. His mate rolled his eyes as Sawyer ducked behind him, hiding from his brother’s wrath.
“You are ticklish?” Jedrek asked.
“No!” Nick glared at Sawyer, and Sawyer couldn’t help but grin.
“He is,” Sawyer said. “And if you really want—”
“Sawyer,” Nick growled.
“What? You’ve called me a brat about a dozen times. I figured I should at least act like one.”
“Fine,” Nick groused. “No more brat and no more talk of—” Nick wiggled his fingers in an imitation of tickling.
“Deal.”
Sawyer came out from behind Draco, and his mate pulled him into his arms. He rested his back against Draco’s wide chest and leaned into his touch.
“We’re going to go over to Nick’s for a few and check things out, okay?”
“Okay,” Draco said. “I’m curious.”
“Me, too.”
“I’m sure their wards are strong enough,” Draco said quietly. “Not unlike here. Maybe Henry can…”
“Oh, that’s a good idea. I wonder if Zaire will let him?”
“Doesn’t hurt to ask. Maybe Andvari and Loch can take a look around, too.”
Sawyer looked up at Draco and smiled. “I love you, you know that?”
“I do. But why?”
“Because you’re looking out for my brother and his pack. And I love that.”
Draco shrugged, but to Sawyer his actions spoke so much louder than his words. “Gotta keep the kids safe,” Draco grumbled.
“I know. Did you know that Eduard gave my brother a credit card?”
