. Only a thousand voices atonce.A thousand voices?Sky s knees let go, and he sat cross-legged on the ground.He blinked up at Tor. I m not sure I can do this, Tor.Tor gazed down at him, and for a moment, Sky thought Tor would shout at him,but the big were just exhaled, came over, and crouched down in front of him. Boy, I know this is& a lot to deal with.But when it s time, I need you there withme.I need you to guide my wolf, to keep me from killing, to be sure I make the rightmoves.We re a team, and I meant that. He reached out, pulled off the headscarf of theburka, and stroked Sky s cheek. I have no intention of losing, not this fight, and notyou.Sky put his hand over Tor s larger hand and closed his eyes. I love you, Tor. He d wanted to say it for a long time, and now it just slippedout.Tor stared at him.Then he leaned in and kissed Sky, so soft and gentle Sky s heartnearly broke.When Tor pulled away, he cocked his head at Sky. What were you and Marrack arguing about, boy? No lies.Tell me the truth.Now his gaze turned hard, and Sky knew Tor wouldn t let it go.Sky clamped his lips together, as if that would keep Tor from pulling it from him.120 Lynn Lorenz Sky. Tor s warning rumbled in his chest.Just that one word turned Sky s insidesto jelly and his body boneless.He shook his head.If he told Tor about the bargain, Tor would hate him fortricking him into fighting again.And if Tor hated him, he might as well take hisfreedom and leave.Tor waited, his blue gaze never leaving Sky s, never breaking, until Sky had toanswer.He owed Tor that much. Marrack offered me my freedom if I could get you fighting again. There, he dsaid it, told of his betrayal.He clenched his hands, and his nails scraped across thecement floor of the cage.Tor froze.Slowly, his brows drew together as his irises darkened.Sky had neverseen such a look of& rage, but he didn t shy away.He d take whatever Tor dished out.It had to hurt less than what his heart felt now. It s all been a lie. Tor stood, turned, and walked to the cage door.Sky threw himself forward, reaching for Tor. No! Not a lie.I love you! But in thebeginning, before I ever met you, it was true.I agreed.I wanted my freedom. And now? Tor asked, hurt pooling in his eyes. I love you.I told Marrack the deal was off.I wanted to stay with you.Still Tor didn t move.Sky let his hand drop. I didn t want you either, in the beginning.I wanted to die. Tor shook his head. But damn you, boy, you made me want you, made me want to live again.To fightagain. He ran his hand over his face, then let it drop. I did? Sky s eyes filled with tears.Tor had cared and now? One month ago, I wanted to die.Now, all I want is you by my side in the cageand in my bed. You do? Sky dared to smile just a little.Tor still hadn t said he loved Sky, but itdidn t matter, did it? As long as he had Tor, he d take what he could from the man.WereWolf Fight League: Tor 121 I did.This changes everything. Tor shook his head. No! Please, it can t change everything, Sky crawled toward Tor on his handsand knees. I love you, Tor. How can I trust you? Tor s eyes narrowed at him, but Sky could still see the hurtin them Ask Marrack! He ll tell you. Sky clutched at anything in hopes of changing Tor smind.Tor worked his jaw, then turned away from Sky again. I want to believe you,Sky. Then do! It s not that easy. Tor slammed his fist into his hand. I expected it fromMarrack, but I trusted you.I claimed you.Your allegiance is to me, your mate. It is, Tor.I am your mate. Sky held out his hand for the big man to take. I myours.Your boy.It s all I ever want to be.You have to believe me.Tor ran his hands through his hair, tugging at it. I m no one to be played, Sky. I know.Now.But this foolish slave boy wanted his freedom.How was Isupposed to know I d fall in love with you? How was I to know I could be this happy?That being with you, being your mate, would be more important to me than myfreedom? Sky took a shuddering breath and gave up holding back his tears. Howwould I know I d rather die than be without you? He wiped the dampness from hisface with the heels of his hands.He d done just about all he could think of to reach thebig werewolf, but it didn t seem to be working.He was going to lose Tor, and thethought of it tore open his heart.There had to be something he could say&Sky sat on his heels and lowered his head, placing his hands in his lap.122 Lynn Lorenz But if you don t want me anymore, I accept that, he said. After the fight, I ll tellMarrack to take me away from you, to sell me or keep me for himself and find yousomeone else.Someone you can trust.Someone worthy of being your mate.Tor growled. Sell you? Yes. Sky could see Tor didn t like that idea.Good. Or I can service Marrack. Heglanced up at Tor from under his lashes. Marrack? Fucking you? Over my dead body!
