Rise Of A Shattered Luna (Natalie) by Kave Derry novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261 The Northern Alliance

Flynn’s POV

“Baron.”

Natalie’s voice cut cleanly through the lobby.

I watched her turn away from me, her posture relaxing completely as she looked at the mart walking toward us.

1, however, couldn’t help but let a low growl ripple deep within my chest,

My inner wolf pricked his ears, our instincts immediately flaring with a deeply ingrained wariness,

Until today, the rumors from the borders had painted a dark, terrifying picture of the man who had claimed my sister.

In the high–altitude sanctuaries of the North, the elders whispered about him as the ruthless King of the North.

To a traditional pack lineage like the Stones, a ruler who walked in the dark was a liability.

His status meant that Natalie would constantly face danger at his side, targeted by every shifting faction that wanted to bleed his empire.

But today, standing in the heart of this building, the reality hit me like a physical blow.

With that kind of overwhelming status, I had to admit, if only to myself, that he was indeed worthy of my sister.

And as he closed the final distance between us, his gaze locking onto Natalie with a burning possessiveness that completely ignored my presence, it became undeniably clear that Baron cherished her deeply.

I looked at her steady hands, her proud bearing, and the brilliant spark in her eyes, and a wave of bitter gratitude washed over me.

Without this man, when the Summers family threw her to the flames, she wouldn’t be who she was now.

He had kept her soul alive in the dark.

I swallowed my lingering misgivings, forcing the tension out of my shoulders as stepped back, giving them room.

The pack politics could wait; right now, I was just a brother who had an assignment to finish.

“You two talk,” I said quietly, my voice a rough rumble that drew Baron’s sharp glance toward me.

“I’ve already asked Chris to take the ancestral records and the silver amulets I brought for the children back to your estate. My trackers are waiting at the perimeter… I need to head to the no territory zoneimmediately to secure those villagers before someone finishes the job.”

“We’ll come with you,” Natalie said suddenly.

I blinked, my eyes snapping back to her face in utter surprise.

Baron, too, stopped mid–motion, his brow arching slightly.

He looked down at her, his hand resting instinctively against the small of her back.

Work’s finished already?” he asked, his tone laced with a quiet amusement that showed how well he understood her creative rhythms.

“I thought you were locked in until the winter moon for the Keeper comeback line”

“No inspiration right now,” she admitted with a helpless sigh, offering him a light, helpless shrug that carried a touch of her old stubbornness.

“The lines are stagnant, and Nyx is restless… Pushing the ink right now will only ruin the parchment. It’s the perfect time for us to take a pack trip down to the countryside.”

I watched her expression closely.

I knew what she was really doing.

She wasn’t just looking for inspiration; she wanted to see the people who had held her birth records.

Baron, however, didn’t object to her sudden whim.

He simply looked at her for a long second, reading the unspoken determination in her scent, before nodding his head in agreement.

“Fine,” he said evenly.

“If the Scribe needs a run, we go. I’ll have Yvonne watch the kids at the main estate.”

“Bring Yvonne with us,” Natalie countered immediately, her voice rising with a sharp, decisive edge.

“If those villagers were targeted because of a twenty–year–old secret, then it concerns her too. If she is truly who we think she is, she deserves to hear about her past firsthand from the people who were there, rather than receiving a redacted report from our trackers.”

I raised my brows, a sudden, intense spark of interest lighting up my wolf’s instincts.

Yvonne.

The name had been circulating through our family’s internal comms for weeks.

If that female enforcer was really Uncle Xenon’s lost daughter then I wanted to see her for myself.
