Behind us, the heavy timber doors groaned shut, sealing us out.

My heart was still hammering against my ribs, from a mixture of anger and dawning horror.

I looked at the gravel beneath my boots, then back at the lodge where my sister was currently being held by a man who had shattered a porcelain teacup with his bare hands just because we mentioned the word taking her home.

“Dad, what did Mr. Baron mean by that?” I asked, my voice tight and vibrating with a growl that I couldn’t quite suppress. “That look he gave us… it wasn’t just a warning. Why is he acting as if we’re the intruders, as if we had no right to our own blood.”

My father didn’t answer immediately.

He walked toward the sedan, stopping by the passenger door, his hand resting on the cold metal, and looked up at the moon

“Don’t worry about what Baron meant, Flynn,” he said, his voice dropping low. “He won’t harm Natalie, his wolf seems to have bonded with her. What we need to look into is the history of that couple from back then, and the truth behind Uncle Xenon’s death.”

I looked at my father’s eyes in the dim light of the car’s interior; they were cold and tired.

I hesitated, my hand gripping the door handle so hard the leather creaked. The thoughts I’d been trying to bury since we read the DNA report were bubbling to the surface.

“Can’t you

see?” Dad continued, staring out the windshield at the winding mountain road. “Baron’s meaning back there was obvious… if the threat to Natalie isn’t fully identified and eliminated, he won’t let her go back to a family that ‘lost‘ her once. Not until he’s sure the monsters in our shadows are dead. On that point… Baron treats your sister quite well.”

As he spoke of Baron, a flicker of genuine admiration passed through my father’s eyes.

I said nothing, deeply shaken.

I had always viewed Baron as a dangerous variable who happened to find a valuable asset in Natalie.

But hearing my father acknowledge Baron’s devotion changed the weight of everything.

Baron wasn’t holding her hostage… he was holding the line.

And yet…

That didn’t mean I trusted him.

A man who could crush porcelain in his bare hands over a single word was not someone you handed your sister to without question.

Protection and possession walked a very thin line.

And I wasn’t sure which side Baron stood on.

Not yet.

Dad looked at me, seeing my internal struggle, and he let out a long, heavy sigh that seemed to drain some of the tension from his body.

“I was too narrow–minded before, Flynn,” he murmured, reaching out to place a hand on my shoulder.

His grip was firm, grounding me. “I “I

“When your sister comes home… and she will come home, you’ll need to bear more responsibility than I ever prepared you for,” Dad said, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that shook me to my core.

family. Your mother has been a ghost for twenty years because of this lie, and Natalie has been a victim. That ends now. We are the shield.”

“I understand, Dad,” I said, the words a solemn vow.

The anger in my gut didn’t go away, but it transformed into something colder.

I shifted the car into gear, looked once more at the suite in the rearview mirror, at the room where my sister was sleeping under the protection of a devil.

Wait for us, Natalie.

This time… whoever put you through this won’t get a second chance to breathe.

The engine hummed to life beneath my hands, but for a moment… I didn’t move.

I would have loved to let loose and let my wolf free after the tension but we couldn’t shift.

Not here.

Crossing another pack’s land in wolf form without permission was a declaration of war… and

I wasn’t about to start one on the pack that has my sister.

So we drove.

My eyes stayed fixed on the rearview mirror.

A strange pressure settled in my chest.

“She didn’t even recognize us,” I said quietly, more to myself than to my father.

The words tasted bitter.
