My arms tightened around Cooper, his small body warm and peaceful against me, completely unaware of the growing tension around us. Every nerve in my body was on high alert as my eyes darted around the dimly lit parking lot, searching for any more signs of danger.

"Titus..." His name slipped from my lips before I even realized it, my voice barely above a whisper. It wasn't my own life [ feared for it was my children. I couldn't let anything happen to them.

Titus stepped in front of me, his stance protective, his arm still stretched out as a barrier between us and the unknown. threat. "Just stay behind me," he said, his voice low and steady. "I will protect all of you, no matter what the cost"

A shiver ran down my spine.

Those words sounded like a promise. A vow. But something about them unsettled me. As if he already knew that whatever was about to happen wouldn't end well.

A deep, sinking feeling settled in my stomach.

Then, without looking at me, he gave an order that made my blood run cold.

"Get the keys from my pocket, Sage."

I blinked. "What?" My voice wavered as I turned to him in confusion. "I don't know how to drive!"

"Put it in drive and step on the gas," he instructed, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"As if it's that simple!" I snapped, panic creeping into my voice.

"You don't have much of a choice, Sage." He finally turned to look at me, his eyes sharp and unwavering. "You have to. If you want to get out of here alive, if you want them to get out of here alive-" he gestured toward the kids, his expression grim, "-then you're going to have to do exactly what I say."

He was serious. Deadly serious.

I swallowed hard, my pulse pounding in my ears.

My fingers trembled as I reached into Titus' pocket, my pulse racing. The cool metal of the car keys met my fingertips, and I yanked them out, gripping them tightly in my palm.

"Good," Titus murmured. His eyes never left the darkness ahead of us, his body tense like a coiled spring, ready to strike. "Now, listen carefully. Get in the driver's seat, start the engine, and be ready to move the moment I tell you to."

I swallowed hard, nodding even though my entire body was screaming at me to panic. I wasn't ready for this. I wasn't ready for any of this.

But I didn't have a choice.

I pressed the car key, and the car immediately made a sound, signaling that it was already unlocked.

Still looking over my shoulder as I moved swiftly to the passenger's side. My hands fumbled with the handle before I finally yanked the door open and slid Cooper into the seat. Titus did the same and put Harper beside Cooper in the back seat.

Once they're settled, I immediately slid into the driver's seat. I put on the seatbelt and started the engine.

Titus leaned down, his face just inches from mine through the open door. "The brake is on the left, and the gas is on the

right. Remember that. Sage," he said through the window. "Keep the kids safe. No matter what happens

The way he said it, the weight behind his words, sent a bolt of dread through me.

"What do you mean? Why don't you get inside? Let's go, Titus!" My voice was barely above a whisper, but he was already stepping away

"Titus-"

"Lock the doors, Sage," he ordered firmly, his back to me now. "And don't stop driving."

Panic surged through me, a sharp wave of fear that made my stomach twist painfully.

No. No, no, no.

My fingers clenched around the steering wheel. My heart hammered against my ribs.

"No!" My voice came out harsher than I intended, raw with desperation. "I'm not leaving you here! Get inside, Titus!"

He didn't turn around.

"If I come with you, they won't stop following us," he said, his voice eerily calm despite the chaos brewing around us. "It will only put all of you in danger."

My grip on the wheel tightened. "And you think staying behind will stop them? You think I can just drive away and pretend you're not-

"Yes," he cut me off, finally turning his head just enough for me to see the side of his face. His jaw was clenched, his eyes burning with determination. "Because if you're not here, I can handle them without worrying about you and the kids." My breath hitched.

Damn him..

Damn his stupid, reckless, self-sacrificing ways.

Titus took a step forward, his back still shielding us from the approaching figures. The shadows loomed closer, creeping into the dim glow of the streetlights, their presence thick with malice.

"Titus," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the roaring in my ears.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair before glancing back at me, just for a second. "Trust me, Sage," he said softly. "I'll find you."

I swallowed against the lump in my throat.

My fingers tightened around the steering wheel, knuckles turning white as I prepared to take off. My heart pounded so hard I could hear the blood rushing in my ears.
