these guys dead…I don’t
think
you’re going to have a problem anymore, but I want to be sure. You need to be far away from me.”
    Like hell she did. “I’m not running away from anything. Especially not my home. When I was seventeen, my brother and I packed up and ran away from our problems. I’m not doing that ever again. There will always be problems or violence. Leaving is not the answer.”
    He swallowed hard, his gaze haunted. “This time it is. You can’t be associated with me anymore. It will only bring you pain and suffering.”
    “What the hell are you trying to say? Spit it out, Liam.” She had a feeling she knew what he meant, but she wanted to hear it.
    His expression completely shut down. “There can’t be an ‘us’ anymore. I’m sorry, December.” She might not be able to read his face, but he actually sounded like he was sorry. All pitiful and pathetic and it just pissed her off even more.
    “You are a coward.” She bit out each word. “You pursued me like there was no tomorrow and now that I’ve finally given you what you want—given us a chance—you think pushing me away makes sense?”
    “It’s the only way to keep you safe.”
    “Bullshit. It’s the only way you can lock up whatever feelings you have for me and cling to some noble idea that you’re protecting me. But you’re only trying to protect yourself.”
    When he didn’t respond, she wanted to scream. He simply stood there, his face impassive, as if he’d already made the decision and she had absolutely no say whatsoever in it.
    “So you’re not even trying to deny it?” she demanded.
    “This has nothing to do with me. I want to protect
you
.”
    She gritted her teeth, fighting back the surging, bubbling anger coursing through her. Was he really going to do this? Kick her out of his life? “I can’t believe you seriously believe the crap that’s coming out of your mouth.”
    He said nothing.
    Which only infuriated her even more. “Don’t think you can come crawling back to me when you finally pull your head out of your ass!” Giving Liam one last lethal stare, she turned on her heel and stalked from the room. She’d be staying in the guesthouse tonight—technically this morning—but she doubted she’d get any sleep. Not when she was so wired. Despite the exhaustion overwhelming her and the lingering fear she had for Kat even though her mind knew her friend was safe, she felt ready for a fight. But if Liam wouldn’t fight back, she couldn’t make him. The only thing she knew for sure was that this conversation wasn’t over. Not by a long shot. After he stewed on his asinine decision for a day or two, she’d confront him again and see how ready he was to shove her out of his life.

Chapter 20
    Three days later
    D ecember steered into her driveway and automatically glanced in the rearview mirror. She’d been overly cautious of her surroundings lately. Sure enough, one of Liam’s packmates had followed her home as Connor promised.
    After talking to the police, Kat had insisted on leaving the ranch. She’d quit her job at the ski lodge and she didn’t want to be anywhere near Jayce or anyone really, and even though Connor and Liam had fought her decision, Connor had eventually relented as long as Kat accepted protection from the pack. December didn’t exactly like being home considering there were still possible APL threats out there, but right now her friend needed this and Kat didn’t want to be at the ranch. If it would help Kat heal, December could deal with it, though. Considering there were pack members constantly watching the house and she had a new top-of-the-line security system courtesy of Liam, she wasn’t losing much sleep atnight over safety issues. Well, she was, but that was because of a certain pigheaded shifter who thought he could make decisions about their life because it suited him.
    For all of Liam’s crap about keeping his distance and staying out of her life, he sure had a dumb way of following through. She knew she’d seen him outside her place last night with a team of guys watching her and Kat. While she might appreciate that, she felt as if he’d ripped her heart out, then stomped it into tiny pieces. He wouldn’t even return her calls. As if what they’d shared together meant so little to him. It might not be true, but it was what it felt like each time he ignored her.
    Even though thoughts of him consumed her day, she had other things to worry about. Kat
