Chapter 345 The Coastal Rupture

Of course.”

“They are attempting to clear the territorial boundary before interception.”

I looked toward the ship disappearing into the storm.

“Renee.”

“Yes?”

“Send the naval units.”

There was a short silence.

“Alpha, that would violate-”

“I’m not interested in rules tonight.”

Another pause.

Then her voice returned.

“Executing.”

The truck finally came to a stop near the edge of the pier.

The ocean stretched endlessly in front of us, dark waves crashing against the harbor walls as the Sovereign Star moved farther away.

Flynn stepped out beside me.

For a moment, neither of us spoke.

“She’s out there,” he said quietly.

I looked at the ship.

“I know.”

“I can’t feel her.”

Neither could I.

But I refused to believe anything else.

“She’s alive.”

Flynn looked at me.

“How do you know?”

I didn’t answer immediately,

Because I knew Natalie

+knew the woman who had survived fire, betrayal, and loss. I knew the woman who would stare down death before she ever

allowed it to win.

“She wouldn’t leave me without a fight.

The sound of engines filled the harbor.

Through the fog, the Blackridge interceptor boats appeared, cutting through the water with no flags, no markings, and no wart

Flynn looked toward them.

“The fleet.”

I stepped onto the interceptor boat, my hands gripping the railing as the engines came alive beneath us.

Jensen had escaped my hands once.

Captain Vance believed the international waters would shield him.

They believed distance would save them.

But they didn’t understand.

The moment they took Natalie, they stopped playing a game of politics.

They started a war.

I pushed the throttle forward.

JENSEN’S POV

The Sovereign Star moved through the outer waters, its massive body cutting through the waves as the storm swallowed the harbor behind us.

From the bridge, I watched the last lights of Port Blackwood disappear into the darkness, but instead of relief, all I felt was the stor crawling realization that we had made a mistake.

A terrible one.

I stood near the command area, gripping the railing as the ship continued forward.

“The outer markers are cleared,” Vance announced.

His voice carried across the bridge with complete confidence.

He stood near the navigation systems, his cigar hanging between his fingers as he watched the tracking screens.

The man looked completely calm, like he hadn’t just stolen the most valuable person in the northern territories and awakened the worst possible enemy.

“The port authorities have logged our departure” he continued. “We are under international maritime protection now?

I stared at him.

“You don’t understand.”

My voice came out rough

Vance looked over.

“What?”

“You really don’t understand who you’re dealing with.”

His expression hardened slightly.

“I’ve dealt with powerful people for twenty years, boy.”

“No.”

I shook my head.

“That’s not what I mean.”

The memories hit me again.

The warehouse.

The way Baron moved.

The way he tore through everything standing between him and his goal.

“He isn’t just an enemy,” I whispered. “He isn’t someone who negotiates when his family is threatened.”

Vance gave a dismissive laugh.

“Your fear is making him bigger than he is.”

I wanted to believe that.

I wanted to believe he was just another powerful alpha.

But I had seen the truth.

Baron wasn’t chasing us because of a contract.

He was coming because Natalie was his.

And the ocean wouldn’t stop him.

Vance turned away, heading toward the elevator.

“Come. Let’s check on your Frost female.”

The words made my stomach twist.

I followed him because I had no choice.

The elevator descended deeper into the ship, leaving the luxury decks behind.

The further we went, the colder became.

The bright passenger areas disappeared, replaced by steel walls, pipes, and the low hum of the ship’s systems.

Eventually, we reached the deepest level.

B4.

The holding deck.

The doors opened.

The air changed immediately.

It smelled like rust, seawater, and suppression energy.

The corridor was lined with heavy steel doors, each one reinforced like it was built to hold monsters.

Because it was.

Vance stopped at cell twelve.

He unlocked the door.

The sound echoed through the corridor.

Inside, Natalie sat exactly where we had left her.

She hadn’t moved.

Not even slightly.

Her wrist was still trapped beneath the silver cuff, the suppression energy burning against her skin every time her body tried to fight back.

She looked exhausted, pale, and weakened.

But her eyes were still the same.

Those golden eyes.

It made me uncomfortable.

Because even trapped, she looked like she was the one in control.

Vance stepped inside.

“So quiet,” he said.

He walked closer, his cigar smoke filling the small space.

“I expected more resistance from the famous Frost Scribe.

“Natalie didn’t react.

She simply looked at him

“You have twelve men on the bridge,” she said.

Vance stopped.

Her voice was weak from the silver gas, but there was still something terrifyingly steady about it.

“You are running your engines past their safe limit. Your secondary turbine system has been damaged, and the pressure imbala is already affecting your lower engineering decks.”

The amusement disappeared from Vance’s face.

“How?”

Natalie tilted her head slightly.

“Your ship tells me everything.”

The silence that followed was heavy.

“You think your mate is coming?” Vance asked.
