Chapter 12 - Sam

The minute the door closed, I ran over to Stella.

“Are you all right?” I asked. Inside, I was seething, my wolf enraged. He wanted that fucker to pay for what he’d done. He’d tried to take Stella. If Jameson hadn’t stopped me in time, I doubted I would have been able to stop.

My hands went to Stella’s shoulders. I needed to touch her, to know that she was still here. I glanced down at her, my eyes locking on her wrist, where red fingerprints were already blooming. The anger resurged as I took in the sight, and my wolf bristled. That asshole had hurt Stella. He had tried to kidnap her, and he’d nearly succeeded. If I had been a second or two later, he would’ve pulled her against him and been able to use her as a hostage to ensure his safe escape.

The thought made my heart race and my wolf snarled, begging to be released so he could hunt down the other shifter and tear him to shreds.

“I’m fine,” she said, giving me a shaky smile. Her entire body was trembling.

“I’m going to kill him,” I said. I stood, fully intending to go after him. My wolf was almost entirely in control of my emotions now. The thought of nearly losing Stella again was maddening, and I wanted to teach that asshole a lesson.

He would never put a hand on Stella again.

Luke grabbed my shoulder before I could reach the door.

“Easy there,” Luke said. “I know you’re pissed, but this isn’t the time.”

“When is the time, then?” I hissed. “When he goes after her again?”

“We gave him a truce under a pack treaty,” Jameson reminded me.

“He broke that treaty when he tried to kidnap Stella,” I snarled. But I knew it was a hollow threat. Attacking Farrow would be a death sentence right now. It was our word against theirs.

“We’ll find a way to make him pay,” Jameson promised. “But we would risk an all-out war over this, with the only evidence being that we saw him nearly take someone.”

I didn’t want to listen. I just wanted to protect Stella at all costs. But that sense of obedience and putting others before myself was still there. And I knew my alpha was right.

Still, it was a close call. I probably would have said fuck it and left, anyway, but then Stella spoke, driving everything else out of my head.

“I’m all right, Sam,” she said, getting to her feet. She gave me a self-deprecatory smile. “Please don’t start a war over a hurt wrist.”

You’re worth starting a war for, I thought, but all I could get out was, “I’m sorry I let him grab you.”

“It’s not your fault,” she said. “Really, I think that was probably his plan the whole time. And it probably would have worked if he hadn’t tried it in a room filled with ex spec-ops shifters.”

I growled. My emotions were spiraling. But through it all, I couldn’t help but admire just how well Stella was handling it all.
