Chapter 363 Going To Save My Mate

Natalie POV

The crimson emergency lights stretched into long rivers of blurred scarlet.

Behind my ribs, Nyx screamed.

The cry ripped through my consciousness with enough force to blur my vision.

My heartbeat stumbled.

Then stumbled again.

Every pulse became heavier than the last.

My marrow felt as though thousands of tiny shards of frozen metal had been driven into it.

“Natalie?”

Baron’s voice cut through the haze.

I tried to answer him.

Only a weak gasp escaped my lips.

The concrete rushed toward me.

Strong arms caught me before I fell.

Baron dropped to one knee, pulling me securely against his chest before my body could hit the warehouse floor.

“Natalie.”

His voice was different.

Lower.

Tighter.

There was no command in it.

Only fear.

His scarred hand cupped my face.

“Look at me.”

I tried.

His features refused to stay still.

His amber eyes split into two.

“Then four

Then dissolved into shifting light

Another violent tremor tore through my body.

My back arched involuntarily as freezing pain exploded beneath my skin.

The sensation was nothing like the silver restraints.

Those had burned.

This…

This was as though the poison had been waiting.

Sleeping quietly beneath my skin.

Patiently.

Waiting for the exact moment my strength returned…

…so it could consume it.

My fingers curled against Baron’s shirt.

I couldn’t stop shaking.

“Natalie.”

His forehead touched mine.

“Stay with me.”

Nyx whimpered again.

The proud wolf who had stood unshaken before an entire syndicate now sounded small.

Weak.

Fading.

She was retreating deeper inside me, instinctively protecting what little strength remained.

Panic surged through the mate bond.

Not mine.

His.

It struck me harder than the pain.

Baron was terrified.

Flynn Teached us in three long strides.

One look at my face drained every trare of colof from his.

“What happened?”

Baron didn’t answer immediately.

His hand had already moved to my wrist.

Counting.

Measuring.

Then to the side of my neck.

Then my chest.

His expression changed.

Understanding settled across his features with horrifying speed.

“The residue…”

His voice became dangerously quiet.

“It stayed inside her.”

Flynn frowned.

“The suppressant?”

Baron nodded once.

“The restraints weren’t the only silver.”

His jaw tightened.

“The gas.”

Memory flickered.

The flooded chamber.

The silver mist filling my lungs.

Breaking the chains.

Pouring every ounce of Frost current into escaping.

Then tearing open the hatch beneath Donovan’s prison.

Then forcing my power through every obstacle between us and freedom.

rd never stopped

I had never given my body time to recover.

Baron closed his eyes for a fraction of a second.

“When she forced her lineage back to full capacity…

He opened them again.

…the poison awakened.”

Another spasm wracked my body.

A cry escaped before I could stop it.

Frost spread beneath us in delicate white veins, racing across the cracked warehouse floor.

Nearby steel tools crackled as thin layers of ice formed over their surfaces.

The temperature around us dropped sharply.

Beth looked up from Donovan, terror flooding her face.

“Natalie?”

I wanted to tell her I was fine.

I couldn’t move my tongue.

Every breath hurt.

Every heartbeat felt wrong.

Baron gathered me closer, wrapping one arm firmly around my shoulders to steady the violent shaking.

His breathing had become uneven.

Not from exertion.

From restraint.

He was forcing himself to remain calm.

“Flynn.”

The command came low.

Controlled.

“Lock every entrance.”

Flynn didn’t hesitate.

within seconds the heavy warehouse doors slammed shut one after another, thick steel bolts driving into place with echoing clangs.

The warehouse became a fortress.

Baron looked toward Beth.

“Stay back.”

She nodded instinctively, tightening her hold around Donovan.

No one questioned him.

No one spoke.

The only sounds left were my ragged breathing…

…and the faint, painful cries echoing through the mate bond.

Baron lowered his gaze to me again.

His thumb brushed tremblingly across my cheek.

“You are not dying.”

His words weren’t reassurance.

They were a promise.

A vow.

“I won’t let you.”

Then, for the first time since I’d known him…

I saw him hesitate.

Only briefly.

His free hand moved toward the small leather medical pouch fastened beneath his tactical vest.

His fingers rested on the clasp.

Still.

As though opening it meant crossing a line he had spent years refusing to eross.

Finally…

The brass catch clicked open.

The clasp released with a soft metallic click.

For a brief moment, no one moved.

Even the wind slipping through the shattered warehouse windows seemed to pause.

Baron drew the leather ease into his lap with both hands.

It was old.

Older than anything else he carried.

The black leather had been wom smooth by years of use, its edges darkened with age rather than neglect.

Fine stitching ran along every seam, repaired so many times that the thread no longer matched.

He opened it.

The inside wasn’t arranged like an ordinary field medic’s kit.

There were no emergency injectors.

No tourniquets.

No trauma bandages.

Instead, slender silver instruments rested inside carved wooden compartments lined with dark velvet.

Some resembled impossibly thin needles.

Others were longer, etched with delicate geometric symbols that shimmered beneath the crimson emergency lights.

Each instrument had its own place.

Each had clearly been cared for with obsessive precision.

Flynn’s breathing caught.

“…Alpha.”

It wasn’t a question.

Baron didn’t look at him.

“Seal the perimeter.”

“It’s already sealed.”

“Then keep it that way.”

Flynn fell silent.

He simply stood watch.

My vision blurred again.

The instruments shimmered.

Ancient silver.

Recognition stirred somewhere beneath the haze consuming my mind.

No…

Not recognition.

Memory

Pages.

Books.

Dust-covered archives.

Hidden shelves beneath the northern libraries.

My breathing hitched painfully.

I knew those markings.

I had seen them before.

Not here.

Not in real life.

Inside restricted manuscripts.

Texts forbidden to anyone below the highest clearance.

My fingers twitched weakly against Baron’s sleeve.

The symbols engraved along the first needle weren’t decorative.

They represented meridian convergence.

Energy extraction.

Cellular stabilization.

My thoughts stumbled.

Impossible…

Those diagrams belonged to-

Another violent tremor surged through me.

Baron’s hand immediately steadied my shoulder.

His voice had softened

The terrifying Alpha who had crushed James’s throat moments ago had disappeared.

Only my mate remained.

Only the man desperately trying to keep me breathing

He selected one of the silver needles.

His fingers never hesitated.

Not once.

He rolled it lightly between his thumb and forefinger, checking its balance with practiced ease before positioning it above my collarbone.

Every movement was effortless.

I remembered another page.

“Seven silver meridian rods…”

“Capable of redirecting poisoned lineage currents without rupturing the marrow…”

“Technique lost.”

“Practitioner unknown.”

Unknown…

No.

Not unknown.

Missing.

The manuscripts had called him something else.

A title.

Not a name.

Baron placed two fingers lightly against my neck, finding the exact point where my pulse fluttered unevenly beneath my skin.

Without warning-

The first needle entered.

There was no stabbing pain.

No burning.

tnstead…

Everything inside me lurched.

The freezing current that had been tearing through my body hesitated.

Then changed direction.

I gasped.

Air flooded into my lungs.

For the first time since collapsing…

I could breathe.

Only a little.

But enough.

Baron closed his eyes briefly, feeling the shift through the mate bond.

“There you are,” he whispered.

“Stay with me.”

Another needle.

Another impossible point.

The agony receded by a fraction.

Not gone.

Contained.

As though invisible hands were gathering the poison instead of allowing it to spread.

Flynn stared openly now.

“I’ve… never seen anyone do that.”

“You weren’t supposed to.”

Baron’s reply was quiet.

Almost absent-minded.

His attention never left me.

I couldn’t stop watching his hands.

Every placement.

Every adjustment.

Every measured breath.

Nothing about it looked experimental.

He wasn’t guessing.

He knew.

He knew exactly where every needle belonged.

Exactly how deep.

Exactly when to stop.

Memory after memory crashed together inside my mind.

His strange knowledge of herbs.

Bones.

Nerves.

Blood.

The nights he disappeared without explanation after major battles.

The stories whispered across the northern territories.

The healer who accepted no titles.

The physician who appeared only when hope had already died.

The man no registry could locate.

The underworld legend.

The Witch Doctor.

“No…”

The word barely escaped my lips.

Baron’s hands paused.

Only for a heartbeat.

His amber eyes lifted to mine.

Something ancient flickered there.

The final piece slid into place.

The impossible became undeniable.

I looked at the silver rode

Then at his scarred hands.

Then back into the eyes of the man who had spent five years pretending to be nothing more than my quiet husband.

My voice trembled.

“…it was you.”

Neither Flynn nor Beth spoke.

The warehouse itself seemed to fall silent.

“You were never missing.”

Baron held my gaze.

“No.”

My heart pounded weakly.

“The Witch Doctor…”

A faint smile touched his lips.

He reached for another silver needle.

“This conversation,” he murmured gently, “is one I’d very much like to have.”

The needle caught the crimson light before descending toward the next meridian.

“But first…”

His hand remained perfectly steady.

“I’m going to save my mate.”
