"She's a target, you idiot."
"And locking her inside is your brilliant solution?"
"It's about keeping her alive!"
Cole laughed without humor. "Then find a way to protect her without making her feel like she's back in a f*****g prison. She's been through enough, Jace. She doesn't need another man deciding what she can and cannot do."
Jace stepped toward him. "You think this is a game? Damien has men outside, and Victor has already threatened her. If something happens to her on the way to school, are you going to take responsibility?"
"Yes."
The answer came without hesitation.
Jace stared at him.
