Ruby’s POV

I stepped down onto the private tarmac, my cloak shifting against the wind as it caught the floodlight glow of the landing strip.

The moment my boots touched the concrete, my tracking senses expanded outward instinctively, scanning the perimeter, reading movement, reading scent trails, reading safety.

But none of it mattered because my wolf had already locked onto a single truth.

Natalie was here.

Close… Alive and within reach.

My daughter.

My brilliant Scribe.

My lost child.

And now she was no longer out of reach.

She was in the same city… In the same territory… Breathing the same air.

Behind the dark silhouette of the SUV parked near the edge of the tarmac stood the male responsible for shifting her entire fate

into motion.

Baron.

Even before he spoke, I could feel his presence anchoring the space.

He wasn’t alone.

Waylon stepped down beside me, his heavy alpha aura stabilizing the field around us like a protective wall.

Yet even he seemed momentarily less rigid than usual, as if the reality of finally retrieving our daughter had softened something buried inside him.

And then Baron moved forward.

He emerged from the shadow of the vehicle with calm ease.

“Dad. Mom.”

His voice was low, warm, and deeply respectful as he inclined his head in a formal bow.

“You must be exhausted after the journey. Please, get into the heated cabin first. Natalie is already back at the villa. She finished her design work and is waiting for you there.”

Before any of our security staff could even move forward, Baron had already taken the luggage from the transportbay.

His hands closed around the cases with effortless strength, lifting them as though they weighed nothing at all

11:48 am Ppp.

The scars across his knuckles caught the light briefly before disappearing into motion as he loaded them into the rear compartment.

I watched him closely.

Not as a stranger but as something more complicated.

A son–in–law.

A man who had stepped into our bloodline without hesitation, without fear, without.ego.

And the more I observed him, the more something in my instincts settled.

He did not bow because he was weak, he bowed because he chose to.

That distinction mattered.

“Baron,” I said gently, stepping closer and gesturing toward the luggage. “Leave those to the staff… You don’t need to handle everything yourself.”

He let out a quiet, almost amused breath, shaking his head as he secured the last case.

“It’s fine, Mom.”

9. 9.

His tone remained steady. “I already left Chris and his vanguard at the villa to secure Natalie’s perimeter. Flynn took the twins out for supplies so the house would be quiet for your arrival.”

He closed the compartment and turned back toward us.

“In the old registry customs,” he added lightly, “a son–in–law is considered half a son. That means I still carry duties to the family

hearth.”

Something in my chest softened at that… not because of the words alone.

But because he believed them and acted on them without hesitation.

Waylon gave a short, satisfied nod beside me, his expression easing as he assessed Baron properly for the first time since arrival. The tension in his posture lowered slightly.

“Let him handle it,” Waylon said gruffly. “A few bags won’t break him.”

I shot him a warning glance, Baron only smiled.

As if being accepted in this way was enough.

The Pride of the Nomad

Inside the vehicle’s glow, I studied him more carefully.

He was no ordinary subordinate male trying to climb into privilege, he already had status.

The Blackridge name carried weight across territories.

The financial networks under the packs were not small scale influence structures. He could command industues if he wished

And yet here he was.

Opening doors… carrying luggage, speaking to us with genuine respect rather than performance.

That balance was rare.

Waylon seemed to recognize it too.

I felt the exact moment his internal guard fully relaxed.

He placed a hand on my shoulder, his voice quieter now.

“He’s acceptable.”

Baron opened the passenger door for us, his movements steady as he guided us inside the SUV.

And the moment I sat down, my entire body seemed I to release a breath I didn’t realize I had been holding since leaving the northern sanctuaries.

Still, my mind did not rest, It went immediately to Natalie.

As the vehicle began to move, I finally let the question leave my lips.

“Baron.”

He glanced briefly at me through the rearview mirror.

“Yes, Mom.”

My fingers tightened slightly against my cloak.

“The twins.”

A pause.

“They’re already four years old.”

Baron’s hands remained steady on the wheel.

“Yes.”

My gaze sharpened.

“Why didn’t you tell her sooner?”

The question lingered in the Labin.

Even Waylon turned slightly now, listening more carefully.

Baron didn’t respond immediately.

When he did, hus voice was quieter
