Chapter 295 Natalie’s Parents Get A Shock

Natalie’s POV

“I know,” he said, placing a kiss on my cheek

That little gesture made Nyx purr like a dog in heat.

My fingers stayed intertwined with his as we walked side by side through the quiet darkness, and every few seconds, my chest tightened all over again from the things he had just confessed to me.

Baron rarely talked about himself.

Rarely talked about pain.

Most people only saw the terrifying side of him.

The ruthless Alpha of the Blackridge Pack.

But beneath all of that…

He had still been a little boy once.

A lonely child trapped inside a cruel family.

A son who watched his mother suffer.

A wolf who grew up learning that survival mattered more than softness.

And now that same terrifying man was standing beside me willingly offering up everything he had built just to stay near me.

The thought hit my chest so hard it physically hurt.

I looked up at him slowly.

The moonlight caught the sharp structure of his face, illuminating the scar near his jaw and the gold burning inside his eyes.

He looked calm now, but I could still feel the raw vulnerability lingering underneath his scent after every ining he’d admitted earlier.

Baron wanted a home.

My heart clenched painfully.

Without thinking, I lifted my free hand and gently brushed my fingers over the rough skin across his knuckles.

“Baron…” I said quietly, my voice softer than before. “You really need to think carefully about this.”

He glanced down at me immediately.

I continued before he could interrupt.

“Marrying into another family isn’t something simple for an Alpha like you. Once the High Council hears about this, they’ll never stop talking. They’ll say you surrendered your authority. They’ll say Blackridge submitted itself to the Stone Pack.

exhated slowly

“You know how territorial elders are They’ll look for any excuse to challenge your status.”

Baron listened to the entire thing without the slightest trace of concern crossing his face.

Then suddenly…

He laughed.

”

The sound vibrated through the cold air as his thumb rubbed slowly against my knuckles.

“Alright, sweetheart,” he murmured, “If thinking about it makes your wolf calmer, then when we get back to the lodge, I sit down with your brother and discuss living arrangements properly.”

I stared at him.

Blinking once.

Then twice.

My brother?

Flynn?

I genuinely lost the ability to respond for a second.

The image alone nearly gave me a headache.

Flynn would rather set the entire lodge on fire than peacefully discuss “living arrangements” with Baron.

Apparently taking my silence as agreement, Baron’s expression brightened instantly.

Which was a terrible sign.

Before I could stop him, he pulled his phone from his coat pocket with his free hand and unlocked it.

“Baron,” I started carefully.

Too late.

He had already dialed someone.

The line connected after a brief digital hiss, and Anthony’s exhausted voice answered from the other side.

“Alpha?”

Baron didn’t waste a second.

“Listen carefully,” he ordered immediately.

“Starting tonight, I want every active data cell scrubbing my public identity from the regional registries.

Silence.

Then Anthony spoke again carefully.

“…Excuse me?”

“I said erase it,” Baron repeated flatly. “The holdings… The route ownership. The northern registries. Everything”

I physically stopped walking.

Baron kept going like this was perfectly normal behavior.

“From this point forward,” he continued calmly, “the public records should reflect that I’m simply the abandoned son of the Gunn family who married into the Stone Pack without a single coin to his name.”

I turned to stare at him fully now.

He sounded serious.

Completely serious.

On the other side of the line, Anthony sounded like his soul was leaving his body.

“Alpha Baron,” he said through gritted teeth, “do you understand how insane that sentence sounds?”

Baron ignored him.

“You have until market opening.”

Anthony let out a long suffering breath that genuinely sounded painful.

“I have spent fourteen straight hours fixing territorial reports from your northern sectors,” he snapped. “And now you’re asking me

to erase your own empire because you want to become a live–in husband?”

Baron’s face remained perfectly calm.

“Yes.”

“You are literally one of the richest Alphas in the northern territories.”

“Not anymore.”

“You control half the trade routes in Murica.”

“Delete that too.”

Anthony sounded one second away from throwing himself off a cliff.

“This is ridiculous.”

“Secure the records,” Baron replied coldly.

Then he hung up.

Just like that.

No hesitation.

He slid the phone back into his pocket before looking down at me with an expression so smug I almost laughed from disbelief.

“All done,” he said proudly. “Your husband is officially penniless now.”

I stopped walking entirely.

The gravel crunched softly beneath my shoes as I stared at him in complete silence.

He actually did it.

Or at least started the process.

Baron looked incredibly pleased with himself too, which somehow made everything worse.

After several long seconds, I rubbed my forehead slowly.

“You can’t just casually decide to marry into the Stone family overnight,” I said finally. “You haven’t even asked my parents if they’ll agree.”

Baron looked genuinely confused.

“Then I’ll ask them now.”

My eyes widened.

“Baron-”

Too late again.

He already had the phone back out.

I nearly grabbed his wrist.

“Wait.”

But he had already dialed the Stone family’s private line.

Of course he had.

The call connected almost immediately.

My father answered through the speaker system.

“Alpha Baron.”

The second my dad’s voice filled the line, the atmosphere shifted instantly.

Even through a phone call, my father’s presence carried terrifying weight.

“Is something wrong?” he asked sharply. “Did something happen to Natalie?”

Beside me, Baron straightened slightly but didn’t lose his confidence.

Chapter 293 Investigate Me

Natalie’s voice stayed soft.

“You stood by while Sharon tortured.me,” Natalie said quietry. “You watched me get blamed for things I didn’t do. You watched them throw me away when the bloodline results came out.”

Quincy opened her mouth instantly.

“Natalie, it wasn’t like that-”

“It was exactly like that.”

Her voice sharpened slightly.

And somehow that tiny change carried more pressure than shouting ever could.

F

“You only came looking for me again after discovering my connection to the Stone bloodline,” Natalie continued. “So stop pretending this is about love.”

The older woman looked genuinely shaken now.

Because once the truth is spoken aloud, it becomes difficult to bury again.

Quincy’s eyes reddened.

“We were desperate,” she admitted shakily. “The Summers family is collapsing. Jordan has been trying to stabilize things for months. The Nightfang alliance failed. Other packs are pulling away. We… we needed help.”

There it was.

Finally.

The real reason.

Natalie laughed softly.

“So now I matter.”

Quincy’s silence answered for her.

My expression darkened slightly as I watched the old woman stand there trembling in the dirt.

Quincy suddenly looked toward me again.

Her fear returned immediately.

“You,” she whispered accusingly. “You’re the reason she changed.”

I finally laughed then.

“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”

Quincy flinched.

“You filled her head with northern brutality,” she snapped. “You turned her against us!”

+physically closed my eyes.

On the other side of the line, silence exploded.

Then my father spoke again.

Very slowly.

“…What did you just call me?”

Baron remained fearless.

“Dad.”

Another silence.

I could practically hear Flynn’s future screaming from several territories away.

My mother, however, sounded suspiciously delighted.

“Oh,” Ruby breathed softly.

Traitor.

Baron continued smoothly like he wasn’t causing absolute destruction inside my parents‘ household.

“Natalie and I already completed the registration process,” he explained. “So technically we’re family now.”

Waylon sounded one second away from developing high blood pressure.

“I am aware of the registration,” he said stiffly.

Baron nodded

Moonlight reflected in his eyes as he inhaled slowly.

Dead silence.

Absolute dead silence.

Even the wind seemed to stop moving.

Then my father finally spoke.

“What?”

Baron remained terrifyingly sincere.

“I want to become a live–in son–in–law.”

I nearly choked.

On the other side of the line, something crashed violently.

Probably my father’s patience.

Ruby sounded equally stunned now.

“You mean…” she started carefully.

“I mean permanently,” Baron clarified immediately. “I want my registry attached to the Stone family den. Publicly.”

My father inhaled sharply.

“Do you understand what you’re saying?”

“Yes.”

“You’re the sovereign Alpha of Blackridge.”

“Yes.”

“You control northern territory forces.”

“Yes.”

“And you want to abandon all of that to move into my daughter’s household?”

Baron’s answer came without hesitation.

“Yes.”

The certainty in his voice hit me harder than I expected.

Baron turned toward me slightly as he continued speaking into the phone.

“I don’t care about titles,” he said quietly. “I don’t care about inheritance. I don’t care what the High Council says ”

My chest tightened.

just want a place beside Natalie.”

Silence followed again.

Longer this time.

Then finally…

My mother sniffled.

Actually sniffled.

“Waylon,” she whispered emotionally from the other side, “he’s sweet.”

My father sounded horrified.

“He is trying to surrender an entire northern empire.”

“He loves her.”

“He’s insane.”

Baron looked deeply pleased by this exchange.

Meanwhile I wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole.

Ruby’s voice softened again.

“Baron,” she said gently, “are you truly certain about this?”

“Yes.”

“You wouldn’t regret it later?“”

“Never.”

My father muttered something under his breath that sounded deeply exhausted.

Then finally, after a very long silence, he asked the question I knew had been bothering him from the beginning.

“Why?”

Baron didn’t answer immediately.

Instead, his thumb brushed slowly over the back of my hand.

Then he spoke quietly.

“Because Natalie is the first place that ever felt like home.”

The words hit so hard my breathing stopped for a second.

The line went silent again.

Even my father didn’t interrupt this time.

Baron’s voice lowered further.

“I spent my whole life fighting for territory,” he admitted. “But none of it mattered once I found her.”

My throat tightened painfully.

Beside me, the terrifying King of the North looked completely calm while confessing something that vulnerable to my parents under the moonlight.

And somehow…

That frightened me more than any war ever could,

Because Baron meant every single word.

Chapter 294 The Name

It was calculated.

“That’s not even the worst part, whispered.

Jordan immediately went quiet.

“What do you mean?”

I turned toward the dark road outside the sedan window, my mind replaying the image of the Alpha standing beside Natalie.

“That man…” I said slowly. “I remember him now.”

Jordan cursed softly under his breath.

“Who is he?”

“He’s the same Alpha from the Accord meeting.” My grip tightened around the phone. “The one who stepped in when Natalie embarrassed Sharon publicly.”

I remembered it clearly now.

At the time I dismissed him as some hired northern mercenary. Just another rogue muscle–handler Natalie used temporarily after leaving the family.

But now?

Now that theory sounded ridiculous.

The Stone Pack’s people deferred to him naturally.

That wasn’t the treatment given to a random Alpha.

Jordan’s breathing became heavier through the speaker.

“You think he’s hiding something.”

“I know he is.”

My eyes narrowed.

I swallowed hard. “Jordan… we can’t afford to underestimate him.”

A long silence followed.

Then Jordan finally spoke again.

“I’ll arrange a deep investigation tonight.”

“Yes,” I said immediately. “Use every remaining connection we have.”

If Natalie truly attached herself to some unknown northern sovereign while the Summers family remained blind to his identity

Then we were already standing on the edge of disaster.

Chapter 294 The Name

Because one thing was becoming horrifyingly clear to me now.

That Alpha wasn’t relying on Natalie’s power.

He was simply allowing her to protect him.

And somehow…

That was far more terrifying.

The cold breeze rolled through the valley as Natalie and I continued walking down the quiet road together.

Her fingers remained tightly threaded through mine.

Raze was practically smug–drunk inside my head after the scene Natalie caused back there.

My wolf kept replaying the image of her standing in front of Quincy with those cold golden eyes while threatening to erase the Summers family for insulting me.

It was deeply satisfying.

Dangerously satisfying.

A king spent his entire life protecting others.

But having someone protect you back?

That hit differently.

I pulled my phone from inside my coat and glanced at the screen,

The warmth in my chest cooled instantly.

Natalie noticed.

Of course she noticed.

She slowed her pace beside me, her brows drawing together slightly.

“What happened?” she asked softly.

I stared at the data report for another second before letting out a low chuckle.

“Well,” I drawled lazily, “looks like the Summers family finally grew a brain.”

Natalie’s gaze sharpened immediately.

“They’re investigating you?”

“My clever mate.” I smirked.

Her expression turned thoughtful.

The northern network alert was simple.

Unauthorized probes had just attempted to cross–reference Blackridge archives through Southern channels

Sloppy and stupidly desperate.

Exactly what I expected from Jordan after getting cornered financially.

I tilted the phone slightly toward myself again, scanning the details while speaking casually.

“They connected me to the Accord meeting incident.” I slipped the terminal back into ray pocket. “Now they’re trying to figure out what kind of monster you dragged home.”

A soft breath escaped her.

Then surprisingly…

She laughed.

“Their timing is impressive,” she murmured dryly. “It only took them this long to realize you aren’t a random thug.”

“Careful,” I said. “You’re hurting my feelings. I worked very hard on that image.”

Her eyes flicked toward me.

“You threatened Quincy with murder three separate times.”

“I threatened her politely.”

Natalie shook her head slowly like she was genuinely exhausted by me.

Cute.

I moved closer until my shoulder brushed hers.

“You know,” I murmured thoughtfully, “I suddenly think being the Stone family’s penniless live–in son–in–law sounds like a fantastic life arrangement.”

She stopped walking immediately.

Completely.

I nearly laughed at the expression on her face.

“Natalie?”

Her golden eyes blinked slowly.

“Baron…”

“Hm?”

“You are aware you’re the Alpha King of Blackridge, correct?”

teould practically picture my father sitting inside his study right now with security reports spread across his desk while my mother hovered nearby trying not to panic

Sure enough, my mother’s worried voice appeared next.

“Is Natalie hurt?” Ruby asked immediately. “Did her channels destabilize again?”
