CHAPTER TWELVE

Samson

The first time I’d yelled for Ari to run, it had all been fun and games. This time, I meant it like I’d never meant anything before. My omega was in serious danger, and I’d be damned if I’d let anything happen to him.

It was my own damned fault, though. I’d let Ari’s excitement at the idea of being free from his engagement and released from a life that would have been daily torture to him cloud my better judgement. I’d wanted him to be free from those people and that life, too. Nothing would have made me happier than to whisk Ari away from Clyve and his father, from his own family, on top of that, and to keep him safe beside me in our own little bubble for the rest of our lives.

I knew better. Life wasn’t that easy, particularly when you were connected to people like the Ingrahams.

“This way,” I hissed to Ari, pulling him to one side, where the trees looked a bit thicker. It would be harder for the ATVs that I could hear getting closer and closer behind us to navigate through that patch of forest. If we stood even half a chance of getting away from armed men on vehicles that could travel faster and farther than we ever could on foot, it would be by outsmarting them, not outrunning them.

I could feel Ari’s fear pulsing through our bond as I pulled him toward a thicket of bushes. I hated that fear, hated the way it made me feel like I was letting my omega down by leading him into danger. I knew better than that.

We should have headed straight for the house, straight for a phone and a way to contact the authorities in Barrington to let them know what was going on. I was just so used to being the point man for cases like this, so used to being the first one in, the one everyone looked to for orders and instructions. I’d spearheaded missions to entrap drug dealers and foil situations exactly like the one we’d stumbled across so many times that my instinct was to take action, not to walk away.

We weren’t walking away. I told myself that in no uncertain terms. We were regrouping and seeking back-up from the people who were trained to deal with these situations.

My alpha disagreed. Mine. Protect. Shelter. Defeat anyone who threatens him.

I practically had to shush my deep instincts where Ari was concerned so that my years of training could take precedent.

“Ow!” Ari cried out as he stumbled, spilling nearly flat on his face as something tripped him

I was able to catch him before he hit the ground. A root stuck up a few feet back that he’d probably slammed into in his ill-fitting, new shoes. I felt a twinge of pain in my own foot, not to mention a blast of annoyance and shame.

“It’s not your fault,” I whispered, cradling Ari in my arms a little as I pulled him up to set him on his feet again.
