CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Jace took his time walking around the house, noting all the video cameras added to the outside in the form of overhead lights. They had used the existing wiring to power them while replacing the fixtures. No one was gaining access to his property without every second of his or her presence being recorded offsite. Unfortunately, it still didn’t provide the security he needed to keep Shae safe while staying under his roof. Security was a matter of layers and denying the perpetrator the opportunities he needed to access the target.

Jace should be grateful to Mitch for talking Shae into residing at his house for the duration of her stay, but he didn’t like the barrier she’d put up between them. Of course, the roads they had traveled on over the years had taken different routes. That didn’t mean their friendship had faded or that they should ignore the simmering attraction that indicated something more.

“That was a very nice homecoming you and your family gave Mitch today.” Shae was sitting out in the open on the top step of his porch, as if she’d been waiting for him to finish his walk around the perimeter. She wasn’t doing so just to piss him off. It was clear she wasn’t finished going over the rules she’d established in her head. “I’m sorry that I had to be dragged along to something that was meant for family members.”

Jace didn’t bother to point out that there were other non-family members in attendance to greet Mitch at the house. Brynn was like family and Reese had joined the ranks when she decided to take on Noah as her lesser half, but they still didn’t carry the Kendall surname.

“Everyone there was family in every way that counts.” Jace wasn’t going to sit there and listen to her pick apart relationships and the differences between them. He maintained his distance by standing a few feet in front of the porch steps. “Have you spoken to your parents? Do they understand what happened yesterday? Or are you keeping them in the dark?”

Jace hadn’t seen Shae use her cell phone last night or today. He understood about protecting family, but the reverse was also true. It was inherent that a mother and father shield their children from the atrocities of this world.

“I didn’t want them to worry, so I’ve kept it to myself for now.” Shae held up her hand when he would have given his opinion on her poor choice. “I’ll call them in the morning when enough time has passed to reassure them that nothing else has happened. Them thinking I’m in danger would only either have them asking me to return to Lansing or them making the trip down here. They don’t need to be in Blyth Lake right now. They shouldn’t have to visit the same place their youngest daughter died.”

Jace wouldn’t argue with her on that point. Neither would he disagree with her assumption Emma had been killed in this town. The
