“Baron,” I rasped.

My voice came out rough from the silver gas damage still lingering in my lungs, but it was enough to make his golden eyes shift toward me.

“The main console.”

His expression hardened.

“It’s an automated trigger system.”

For a fraction of a second, his grip on Jensen remained unchanged, but I saw the calculation happen behind his eyes.

That was Baron.

Even in rage, even with Raze practically tearing through his control, there was still a part of him that analyzed every possible outcome.

I forced my focus deeper into the room, tracking the hidden wiring beneath the concrete floor.

“Jensen didn’t just come here to replace filtration units,” I continued, my fingers tightening against the silver cuffs still locking my wrists to the chair. “He wired the industrial tanks behind the partition wall.”

The cold metal burned against my skin as the suppression energy surged again, trying to push Nyx back into silence.

I ignored it.

“The moment his biometric signature drops below a certain level…” I looked directly at Baron. “The valves open.”

A dangerous silence settled between us.

The meaning was obvious.

The moment Baron killed him, Jensen’s final contingency would activate.

The entire lower valley would become a graveyard.

Baron’s jaw tightened.

His eyes moved back toward Jensen, who was barely conscious now, his fingers still wrapped

weakly around Baron’s sleeve.

“I am clearing his name from the registry, Natalie,” Baron said, his voice low.

There was no anger in it anymore.

“He won’t touch this clearing again.”

My chest tightened.

Because I knew that voice.

That was the voice of Raze.

“If his pulse drops too low, the system triggers,” I repeated. “The lower quadrant gets hit first. The estate shields are connected to the same valley power grid. The twins are still inside that perimeter.”

That stopped him.

His entire posture changed instantly, the rage still there but forced into something sharper.

Baron stared at Jensen for several seconds, his grip still around the man’s throat.

Then he exhaled.

Slowly.

The sound carried through the room like a warning.

“You are lucky,” he whispered.

Jensen’s eyes barely focused.

Baron’s fingers released.

He threw him.

Jensen’s body crossed the room before crashing into a pile of discarded iron pipes near the terminal wall.

The impact echoed violently through the bay, metal clattering everywhere as he landed hard

on the concrete.

For a few seconds, he only coughed.

A broken, pathetic sound.

His hands wrapped around his throat as he tried to force air back into his lungs.

Baron didn’t even look at him again.

He was already moving.

One second he was across the room.

The next, he was directly in front of me.

His presence surrounded me immediately, cold and powerful, the familiar frequency of Raz pressing against the silver haze that still surrounded my body.

His fingers reached for the first cuff.

He didn’t waste time.

Baron never wasted time.

His hand wrapped around the reinforced silver band, and the temperature inside the room dropped instantly.

The metal began to shake.

A deep cracking sound moved through the cuff as his alpha pressure forced itself into the

structure.

Then it snapped.

e broken pieces fell to the floor.

he moment the restraint disappeared from my left wrist, Nyx surged forward.

Not completely but enough.

A wave of freezing energy rushed through my body, burning away the last layers of

suppression trying to keep her trapped. My golden irises reignited as my core channels began rebuilding themselves.

Baron’s eyes softened for the briefest moment.

Only for me.

“We leave,” he said.

His voice was lower now, urgent beneath the control.

“We clear the building before the trigger activates.”

His hand moved toward my second cuff.

But before his fingers touched it-

The terminal behind Jensen screamed.

A sharp electronic alarm ripped through the entire facility, causing every remaining light in the bay to flicker.

My head snapped toward the console.

Jensen lifted his face from the floor.

And smiled.

It wasn’t the confident smile of someone who had won.

It was worse.

It was the smile of someone who had accepted he was already dead.

“I told you,” he rasped.

Blood stained his mouth as he laughed weakly.

“I told you we all burn together.”

Baron’s expression turned lethal.

Jensen forced himself onto one elbow, his broken voice carrying through the room.

“The Gunn Pack doesn’t leave assets alive.”

The words had barely left his mouth when the ceiling exploded.

A violent pneumatic blast tore through the filtration bay.

The overhead delivery valves ruptured.

A massive wave of concentrated silver-laced corrosive gas poured from the vents above us, falling between Baron and me like a wall of burning chemical fog.

It wasn’t normal suppression gas.

This was something designed to destroy.
