Chapter Nine

Scott stared down at his phone, willing it to ding to let him know he had a reply text, or, even better, willing it to ring with an incoming call from Caroline. But his phone remained silent, just as it had for the last several hours. He had been debating at what point he should be truly worried, and he was starting to feel like that point was now. He felt a slow rage starting to burn within him as he thought of the possibilities of how the security guard might have caused trouble for Caroline even though Scott had left.

Scott was starting to feel stupid. Why had he thought it was a good idea to leave her? He’d only wanted to help. In his eagerness to do whatever he could to help Caroline’s business, he’d thought that leaving would be the best way to do that. He’d assumed that the security guard would leave Caroline alone once he was gone.

But what if Scott had assumed wrong? Why hadn’t he considered the possibility that the security guard might continue to harass Caroline after he left?

Scott tried to tell himself that he was overreacting. As far as he knew, no one from Pine Springs had ever gone as far as harassing someone for merely hanging out with a person from Bear Mountain. But this security guard seemed bent on doing so. Scott shouldn’t have been that surprised, since it was a rare occurrence for someone from Pine Springs to hang out with someone from Bear Mountain. In fact, the more Scott thought about it, the more he realized that no one from Pine Springs ever had actually wanted to hang out with someone from Bear Mountain. Joel’s lifemate Anna was the closest case, he assumed. But she hadn’t really spent time in Pine Springs with Joel. They’d always been on Bear Mountain, away from the judgmental eyes of people in Pine Springs. Caroline was smack dab in the middle of Pine Springs and all its judgment. And now, Scott couldn’t bear the thought that she was suffering because of him.

Unable to hold back his worries any longer, Scott got into his truck and started racing toward Pine Springs. He couldn’t drive fast enough. All he could do was kick himself over and over for leaving Caroline behind. In trying to do the right thing for her, he had put her in harm’s way.

He sped toward the shopping center, ignoring the honking of the other drivers on the road who were angered by his crazy driving. He didn’t care if he made the whole town angry. He wasn’t slowing down, not now. Not when he’d realized that his lifemate might be in danger. Scott pulled into a parking spot way too fast, hitting the curb but not caring. Right now, all he could care about was making sure that Caroline was okay—and tearing to pieces anyone who might have harmed her.

He sprinted away from his truck and into the building, laser focused on finding Caroline and protecting her.
