Once they reached her house, he rushed to open her door and carry her inside. He grabbed her sweatpants and a sweatshirt before setting them in front of her. "I'll...step out so you can change." He said softly, wariness in his eyes. He steped out of the room while she changed and came back when she was done, holding her to his ches once he sat on her bed

...

"I've got you. You're safe." He whispered gently to her, holding her close and rubbing her back. "I've got you, baby, I've got you" He said, the nickname slipping out. He waited anxiously for her reaction, regretting it

...

"I've got you." He repeated over and over protectively. "This will never happen to you again. I promise you. I will find who did this and they will not live another week. I promise." He said softly, almost a protective growl in her ear. "I'll always protect you" He added after amkment, kissing her head gently and holding her close.

...

"Who?" He asked, suddenly furious and ec=vident in the way he clutched her closer, more protectively. "Lorelei, they will not be alive by the end off tomorrow. Tell me one name who did this to you. I will kill them tonight. Anyone." He growled quickly, his cheek to her temple. He held her in his lap, unable to let her go even for a second. "Do you need anything? Food? Water? Would you like me to stay here tonight?" He offered, his voice low and careful

...

Kai nodded, kissing her cheek. "I'm so sorry. I'll always protect you. Next time, I'm coming with you." He promised gently, squeezing her close for a moment
