We were running from something that had already decided how this ended.

“Drive faster!” I shouted, my voice coming out broken and uneven. “Get us out of this quadrant! I don’t care what you have to break, just move!”

The words scraped painfully against my damaged throat.

I immediately regretted speaking.

The swelling around my windpipe made every breath feel like I was dragging air through a blade, but I refused to show weakness. Not in front of the mercenaries. Not in front of the m who were already beginning to question whether my family was worth following.

I leaned against the interior wall of the transport, my body shaking from a mixture of pain a adrenaline.

My hand moved toward my throat, feeling the damage Baron had caused.

The memory flashed through my mind.

His fingers around my neck.

His eyes.

The absolute certainty in them.

For the first time, I understood why people feared him.

They feared him because when he decided something belonged to him, the entire world had to move around that decision.

And Natalie belonged to him.

The thought made something cold settle inside

my

chest.

Because the worst part was that I finally understood something.

We had taken the one thing that could turn him into a weapon.

The lead tracker in the front cabin shouted over the engine noise.

“Keep the rear lanes sealed! We have Blackridge signatures above the ridge line!”

His voice was strained.

“Sniper formations are already positioning! We don’t have much time!”

I pushed myself upright, ignoring the pain shooting through my ribs.

“How long until the coastal route?”

The tracker glanced back.

His expression told me everything before he answered.

“Twenty minutes if we keep speed.”

Twenty minutes.

It sounded like nothing.

But against Baron?

It sounded like a lifetime.

I forced myself toward the small reinforced observation window separating the cabin sections My boots dragged slightly against the metal floor as I moved, but I ignored it.

I needed to see her.

I needed to make sure the one thing we had risked everything for was still under control.

Through the dark tinted glass, I saw the second transport moving beside us.

The one carrying Natalie.

My fingers tightened against the window frame.

The original plan had been simple.

That was what Loretta promised.

A clean extraction.

We would suppress her abilities, take her biological registry, unlock the Frost lineage access points, and use them to reclaim what the Gunn Pack had lost.

It wasn’t supposed to become a war.

It wasn’t supposed to wake something ancient.

ut Loretta hadn’t told me everything.

he never did.

Even now, from inside the moving transport, I could see traces of it.

I stepped away from the window, my breathing becoming heavier.

“Status report!” I demanded.

The commander in front answered immediately, but his confidence was gone.

“The kinetic shields are holding, but we have problems.”

“What kind?”

He hesitated.

I hated that.

Mercenaries hesitated when they knew the answer was bad.
