Willson and the others carefully carried Lucas to his cottage and laid him on his bed. They had considered taking him to their house, but the healer, William, assured them that Lucas would wake up soon, so there was no need to worry.
Nathan, meanwhile, was taken home. As he regained consciousness, he found Sally holding his hand tightly.
"Sally," Nathan said weakly, smiling softly at her.
Sally looked at him with mixed emotions. "Why did you fight with Lucas, Nathan? I can't bear to see you in pain." she said, kissing his hands.
Nathan knew how much she loved him. He had made her feel so connected to him. Smiling, he signaled for her to come closer. When she leaned in, he cupped her cheeks. "Sally, back then, almost all the males in the Silver Wolf tribe wanted to be with you," he said, rubbing her chin and looking deeply into her eyes, his gaze full of raw love and desire that made her heartbeat quicken.
