MY FATHER’S GAZE SCANNED over the crowd. “Mrs. Wyman, perhaps we should discuss this with the accused in private.”

At least the bastard was smart enough to read the room correctly.

The pinched-faced woman glared at him and then looked at me. “And what of the charges of jealousy, Mr. Young?”

I laughed and traded a heated look with my father before meeting her gaze. “I protected my partner. If doing what we’re taught at this academy is considered jealousy, then that’s truly fucked up. I would have reacted just as violently had I walked in on those assholes abusing any of the women in this room, including you.” I pointed my finger at her. “My mother taught me right from wrong and ingrained in me a strong sense of swift justice. I act when I witness evil, ma’am.”

My father’s gaze swept over me as if he saw me for the first time. As if he had just witnessed me level every alpha in the region on the mat. I shocked him with my conviction.

Too bad he didn’t think it was real. Granted, Sarah was my true mate and seeing what they were trying to do drove my wolf over the brink of reason, but it had nothing to do with jealousy. It had everything to do with rage. Rage regarding the audacity of those assholes to think they had a right to touch Sarah without her consent.

When my father’s chest swelled with pride, I narrowed my eyes at him. He wasn’t the one who taught me how to respond to evil. All the credit on that went to my mother.

“You have not answered my question. Are you condemning my pack?” I asked again. I wasn’t backing down, not with our lives in the crosshairs.

Johnson stepped next to me, followed by the rest of my hometown pack. Then the rest of the student body pressed forward, forming a solid line around us, and we severely outnumbered the board.

Sarah slid her chair back and stood up as well, adding to our display of unity.

Mrs. Wyman glanced around at her peers, getting consistent head shakes as she met each member’s gaze. She faced forward and folded her hands in front of her as she scanned all of us. She finally looked at me.

“No, Mr. Young. We are not going to condemn your pack today. But we will be watching you and Miss Stone. If there is any more trouble, you two will be facing harsher punishments than just a few nights in lockup.”

“Thank you, ma’am. Now if you would excuse us, we need to go clean up.”

I turned without waiting for any response. The crowd parted, and we marched out of the cafeteria, and separated at the outer doors. Sarah headed back toward her room, and I to mine.

Johnson caught up with me just as I stepped into the room.

“Thanks for the heads-up.” I closed the door behind me.

“No problem. From what I gathered, they were aiming to have Sarah killed. It made no fucking sense to me, and you needed to know.
