Baron’s POV

I watched my men resume the interrogation with efficiency, their movements fueled by the sudden realization that my good mood was gone.

My gaze turned icy as it landed on the man in the chair.

Jace.

He was a coward, a bottom–feeder who thought he could snatch my pups and sell them to the highest bidder.

His sunglasses were gone now, revealing eyes wide with a terror that made his scent sour and sharp.

“Feels good to know my secret, doesn’t it?” I stepped into his personal space, my shadow swallowing him whole.

The pressure of my aura made his heart skip beats – I could hear it, a frantic, irregular thump–thump against his ribs.

“Too bad – you won’t get the chance to report back to your boss.”

Jace struggled, a muffled, gurgling sound escaping his throat, but my warrior’s hand was clamped over his mouth and nose like a vice.

He couldn’t get a single word out.

I wanted him to feel the suffocating weight of his mistake.

“Keep him conscious,” I ordered coldly. “If he passes out before he gives me Terry’s location, wake him back up.”

One of my men hesitated. “And the Nightfang Matriarch?”

My expression didn’t shift.

“Let her go.”

Jensen’s POV

1 was staring at the chat logs I had sent Natalie, waiting for a response that hadn’t come, when the door burst open.

My butler stood there, his face the color of ash, his hands trembling so violently he could barely hold his phone.

“Mr. Jensen… The matriarch has been taken.”

The words didn’t make sense.

I stood up, the chair screeching against the floor.

“What did you just say? How could my mother suddenly disappear? She’s surrounded by pack security!”

The butler stammered, his scent spiked with the sharp musk of failure.

“I don’t know either but the Luna said she was going to the restroom after her meeting and never came back. I went to look but

couldn’t find her. We only stepped out for coffee at the Café, and then she vanished into thin air. Alpha Jensen, should we… we call the enforcers?”

I felt a cold dread settle in my gut

When people of our class ran into trouble, our first instinct wasn’t the enforcers; it was the question of saving face.

A kidnapped Matriarch was a sign of a weak pack

My brow furrowed tightly.

I thought of the enemies I’d made, the rival pack, the disgruntled pack elders.

“Has my mother offended anyone lately? Any territorial disputes?”

should

“No.” The butler shook his head quickly, then hesitated, his eyes darting to the floor. “But… she did meet with Natalie Stone this morning.”

“What did you say?”

My expression darkened.

“Who told my mother to go find Natalie? I told her to stay out of it!”

The butler’s hands shook as he spoke, his voice dropping to a whisper. “The Luna said the woman who attacked her at the hospital claimed to have been sent by Natalie. Worried for the child Sharon carries, she invited Natalie out for coffee to… settle matters. But Natalie… she wasn’t the same as before. She even kicked the Luna! Alpha, you should’ve seen it. Her knee was left black and blue. Natalie always seemed so refined, so submissive, but who would’ve thought she’d turn out to be so coarse and vicious?”

“Shut up!”

I roared the words, the sound vibrating through the glass walls of the office.

“Who the heck are you to say Natalie has no manners? And when my mother went to see her, why didn’t you call me immediately?”

My face was etched with a fury I couldn’t contain.

Natalie?

Vicious?

Coarse? The girl I knew wouldn’t hurt a fly, let alone an elder.

The butler cowered.

“She told me not to. She wanted to handle it as a family matter. But Natalie really did kick her. There are witnesses.”

“Natalie wouldn’t strike someone for no reason; her manners are impeccable,” I snapped, though a small, nagging part of me remembered the coldness in her eyes at the hospital.

She was different

“Did my mother say something? Did she do something to provoke her? Tell me word for word or you’ll regret ever entering my service.”

2:59 pm Pppp.

The butler no longer dared say anything bad about Natalie.

He recounted the meeting exactly as he had heard it from the waitstaff and the guards – how my mother had thrown coffee, how she had insulted Natalie’s birthright, and how Natalie had stood her ground like a Queen

My face darkened further.

A bitter realization began to bloom in my chest.

“My mother believed whatever Sharon said? She even threw coffee at Natalie? Has she lost her mind? She used to like Natalie! She used to treat her well!”
