Chapter 331 The Toxic Shroud

Natalie’s POV

The rear windshield collapsed inward, as though something from outside had struck it with enough force.

A heavy canister burst through the shattered opening, spinning wildly as it fore across the interior space.

It clipped the edge of the headrests before slamming into the floorboard between the front seats with a brutal impact that vibrated through the entire vehicle.

My body reacted immediately, instinctively reaching toward it, but the timing was already lost.

The device hissed once, a thin mechanical breath, before the casing ruptured.

Then the cabin died.

Neon–green vapor exploded outward like a living organism, filling every available space with unnatural speed.

It didn’t spread in the way smoke does; it invaded, curling into vents, wrapping around surfaces, forcing itself into air channels and

seams.

The smell hit instantly – chemical, metallic, and wrong in a way that bypassed instinct and went straight for the lungs.

My throat tightened as I inhaled without meaning to, and the burn that followed felt like swallowing shards of silver–coated ice.

It was suppression gas.

Designed for wolves.

Designed to end what we are before we can even name the threat

Even I had learned to accept that silence behind my ribs as normal. Nyx echo trapped behind walls I could no longer open.

not been absent, but she had been distant, like an

I had lived without her voice fully present. Without her power. Without the certainty that I could ever shift again.

Until now.

Because the moment that green gas drifted toward the back seats – toward the children breathing behind me something inside me fractured in a way that was absolute.

It felt like a sealed chamber inside my mai row had been struck with force so precise it shattered the illusion of dormancy entirely.

There was no whisper this time.

No hesitation.

A single word tore through my soul like an ancestral command carried across generations of Frost lineage

The suppression gas was supposed to neutralize wolves.

That was its function. That was its purpose. It was meant to collapse core channels but it had made a critical mistake

had reached my children.

And that was the point where everything changed

Heat erupted inside my chest without warning.

My core channels lit up as though something buried deep had finally brokee free from restraint.

The silver particles in my throat disintegrated instantly, incinerated by a force that did not behave like anything medical.

My vision blurred, then snapped sharply into focus as gold light ignited behind my eyes, flooding the interior of the cabin with a radiance so intense it cut through the green fog like a blade.

And then Nyx rose.

Not beneath me but through me.

The barrier that had separated us for five winters shattered completely.

Her presence surged forward in a sovereign wave, uncoiling into the cabin with such force that the dashboard console fractured instantly, splitting cleanly under the pressure of her emergence.

The entire vehicle vibrated, not from impact, but from resonance, as though the air itself had begun to acknowledge a new dominant frequency.

For the first time in years, I was not incomplete.

I was whole.

“Mommy!”

Susie’s voice cut through the haze from the rear seats, coughing between words, half panic and half instinctive awe.

I didn’t turn fully, but I could feel her awareness shift as she sensed the change in the atmosphere.

Children always know before language catches up. They always feel when something fundamental changes in their parent.

“Sean! Floorboards, now!” My voice came out sharper than I intended, but it carried a depth that didn’t belong to normal speech.

anymore.

I reached into my inner kit without hesitation, pulling out two cloth strips and throwing them backward in a clean motion. “Wet them. Cover her mouth and stay down.”

There was no delay in response.

Sean moved immediately, pulling Susie down into the reinforced floor space between the seats and pressing the cloth over her mouth and nose.

Susie resisted only for a second before settling, trusting him enough to obey despite fear pressing against her breathing

Good.

They were secured.

That was all that mattered.

The front of the vehicle became the only remaining–battlefield.

The transport shuddered violently as heavy impacts struck the exterior.

The sound of magnetic boots slamming against armored plating echoed across the roof, followed by another impact, then another.

The entire frame groaned under shifting weight as something heavy anchored itself above us.

Then they dropped.

Two silhouettes landed on the hood of the land liner with brutal precision, their weight denting the reinforced structure beneath them. Through the thick green haze still lingering inside the cabin, I tracked them instantly.

Gunn Pack extraction operatives.

Elite–tier hunters.

Their respirators masked any expression, but their intent was clear through posture alone.

Their eyes locked onto the front seat.

Onto me.

Not the children… Not the vehicle.
