Theon and Erik stepped in front of Nyx, shielding her. “No.”

The sight of two men and a pregnant woman seemed to surprise the property staff, but they didn’t ask any questions. After taking their temperatures, they handed them supplies such as vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk, seasonings, flour, and cooking oil.
