Rise Of A Shattered Luna (Natalie) by Kave Derry novel Chapter 338

Chapter 338 The Execution Line

Baron’s POV

“Stay back, Baron!” Jensen screamed.

His voice cracked halfway through my name, turning the command into something closer to a desperate plea. “I swear to God pull the trigger. I’ll destroy her core channels right here!”

The barrel of his weapon shifted between me and Natalie, his grip tightening as if holding the gun harder would somehow rest the control slipping from his hands.

“Open the master ledger files,” he continued, breathing heavily. “Clear the Blackridge vaults. Transfer everything to the Gunn Pa registry, or she dies in that chair.”

The room went silent.

I didn’t answer him… I didn’t rush.

I didn’t even look at the weapon pointed toward my mate.

Instead, I stepped forward.

One slow step.

The moment my boot touched the concrete floor, the entire atmosphere shifted.

The remaining guards outside the room went quiet as their instincts recognized what their minds were still refusing to accept.

My amber eyes locked onto Jensen’s face.

He looked smaller now.

Not physically.

Something deeper.

The arrogance had disappeared. The confidence had been stripped away. All that remained was a frightened man who had finally realized he had brought a knife into the den of a beast.

From the center of the room, Natalie lifted her head.

She was still restrained in the heavy reinforcement chair, her wrists locked beneath thick silver cuffs that continued to pulse with suppression energy. The metal burned against her skin, fighting to push Nyx back into silence.

But it wasn’t working the way they wanted.

Her golden eyes burned through the dim light.

Bright.

Even trapped, she looked nothing like the woman they thought they had captured.

Nyx was awake.

I could feel it.

The power inside her was fighting against every chain, every restraint, every attempt to force her into weakness.

But Natalie wasn’t looking at Jensen, she was looking at me.

And there was no fear in her eyes.

Only trust.

She believed I would come and she was right.

“You’re out of scripts, Jensen,” I said quietly.

My voice was calm, almost gentle, but the weight behind it made the communication wires attached to his equipment crackle with interference.

His face tightened.

“No,” he whispered.

The denial came out before he could stop it.

Then louder:

“No. You don’t understand.”

His eyes darted toward the doorway behind me.

Looking for help.

Looking for the army he thought would save him.

But there was nothing.

Only silence.

“I have twenty armed mercenaries outside,” he said quickly, trying to rebuild the illusion. “They have silver–laced weapons, they have the entire perimeter secured.”

I continued walking.

Each step echoed.

“You’re wrong.”

His expression changed.

“Your mercenaries are already dead on the gravel lines.”

The color drained from his face.

“My Stepmother abandoned you the second your financial network started collapsing,” I continued. “Your credit lines are go your transport routes are exposed Your escape paths have already been sealed.”

I stopped a few meters away from him.

“You walked into my territory with borrowed weapons and someone else’s promises.”

My gaze hardened.

“And now you’re standing here alone.”

The silence after those words was heavier than any

Jensen’s breathing became uneven.

threat.

His wolf frequency trembled through the room, weak and unstable. I could feel his fear spreading through the air.

He had mistaken my silence for surrender.

Now he was standing in front of everything I had spent years protecting.

My territory.

My children.

My mate.

And he finally understood the mistake.

His eyes flickered toward Natalie.

Then back to me.

Something broke.

“If I lose everything…” he whispered.

His hand tightened around the weapon.

My body immediately reacted.

“Jensen.”

My voice lowered.

A warning.

But he had already crossed the line.

His expression twisted into something desperate and unstable.

Then we all burn together!”

The words exploded from his throat as he suddenly moved the weapon.

Not toward me.

Toward Natalie.

Everything inside me went silent.

For one fraction of a second, the entire world narrowed to the distance between his finger and the trigger.

Then I moved.

I didn’t think.

I didn’t calculate.

There was no strategy.

Only instinct.
