He carries me down the hallway and lowers me to my feet outside my bedroom door. He waits in the hall as I walk inside to grab what I need. I arch a brow when I notice he hasn’t moved. “Are you going to wait out there?”

He nods. “Not leaving your side, Chérie.”

Warmth fills my chest. I nod and move to my closet to grab a few things for the night. I will feel better if we come back during the day. Less places to hide when there are less shadows.

Chapter Ten

As we pull up to the common house, a horn sounds, and three figures rush out the door. I groan as I watch Lewi park my car in the driveway, Oli and me pulling in behind him. “You called the others? I told you guys not to bother them.”

Oli shrugs. “You must have missed the text in the team chat.”

I shake my head but pull out my phone. I forgot I had silenced the notifications for the team group chat. Now, I only get notifications for the chat with my guys. It’s hard to follow twenty guys chirping back and forth. Danni and I were both added to the team chat to ‘keep an eye’ on the boys. I’m pretty sure Danni silenced her notifications too.

There are several unread texts in the chat. I usually open them just to get the notification number back down to zero. Huffing out a sigh, I open it and see the text Vicy had sent.

Vicy

911! Get to the house ASAP!

RayRay

Why are you putting this in the team chat?

Vicy

Roe Roe is in trouble!

DocDanni

Shit, she okay?

Vicy

Not sure yet. I’ll keep you updated. But I need our boys outside now to go get her. I just want to make sure everyone knows what’s going on.

DocDanni

Keep me updated! I’ll make your life hell otherwise Vic!

Vicy

Roger that!

I exit the team chat and find several missed messages in my guys’ group chat along with one from Danni. I check the group chat first since that is just me and the boys, and it’s blown up with messages.

Perri

How’s our girl? Need an update. On the way to the house now.

Vicy

What did you say to the Mrs?

Perri

I told her there was an emergency at the common house that I needed to check on. You know Karen loves you guys, but she also knows how much trouble you cause.
