“Yes, miss,” Chris said immediately, his voice sharp and respectful through the speaker. “The vanguard will begin intercepting the port routes tonight.”

Then the call ended.

Click.

Quincy froze instantly.

Actually froze.

Her hand was still halfway lifted in the air when reality finally settled into her bones.

The silk shawl hanging around her shoulders trembled violently against the night breeze and for the first time since she arrived, genuine fear spread across her face..

If Flynn’s people moved tonight, the Summers family would suffer catastrophic losses before sunrise.

The old woman looked from Natalie’s phone to Natalie’s face, then finally toward me standing behind her.

And somehow that seemed to terrify her even more.

“Natalie…” she whispered shakily. “Natalie, please, you have to listen to your mother.”

Mother.

Interesting word.

Especially coming from a woman who only remembered it whenever profit was involved.

Quincy took another unsteady step forward, gripping her cane tighter.

“I’m only trying to protect you,” she insisted desperately. “You’ve already suffered once because you trusted the wrong man. I don’t want history repeating itself again.”

Natalie didn’t move.

Quincy pointed toward me suddenly.

“That man behind you is dangerous!” she snapped. “Can’t you see that?! He’s some rogue Alpha from the North with nothing attached to his name except fear and violence!”

Raze immediately bared his teeth inside me.

But Quincy kept going anyway.

“He has no respectable standing in the Southern territories. No refined background. No civilized reputation. People only know him because they’re afraid of him!”

My lips almost curved.

Interesting.

She wasn’t entirely wrong.

Fear did follow me.

Violence too.

Quincy’s voice became more frantic.

“Natalie, you’re too blinded to see clearly right now. He’s manipulating you exactly the same way Jensen did!”

Natalie finally moved then.

Only half a step.

But the shift in her aura was immediate.

“If you say one more bad thing about my man,” Natalie said quietly, “I will personally destroy your pack defenses before sunrise”

Silence slammed down afterward.

And suddenly every ounce of rage inside me disappeared.

Gone.

Just like that.

Raze stopped growling entirely.

Then my wolf did something far more embarrassing.

The bastard practically purred.

A smug kind of satisfaction spread through me so quickly I almost laughed out loud right there on the road.

Because honestly?

Maybe being protected by my mate wasn’t such a terrible experience after all.

I had spent most of my life ruling through bloodshed and intimidation.

People lowered their heads when i entered rooms.

But this?

Standing behind Natalie while she threatened an entire bloodline for insulting me?

That hit differently.

Raze was practically rolling around in satisfaction inside my chest.

The corners of my mouth twitched upward before: could stop them.

Who cared if lesser Alphas called it shameless?

Who cared if southern wolves whispered that the King of Blackridge was being defended by firs mate?

All I knew was this woman was standing in front of me, ready to destroy anyone who touched my name.

And I liked it far too much.

Quincy finally seemed to realize how serious Natalie truly was.

Her expression shifted slowly from panic into disbelief.
