Chapter 367 Don’t Look Behind Us

Barsh’s POV

Hollowed them downstairs like a ghost haunting the remains of his own life.

Every step echoed through the house with a terrible finality.

The walls that had once carried laughter now returned nothing but silence.

The front door hung crooked on its hinges, battered from the night’s chaos.

Outside, the tactical transport idled in the driveway.

Its diesel engine rumbled steadily, thick white exhaust curling into the pale morning air before disappearing into the fog that had swallowed the estate.

Natalie walked straight toward it.

She never hesitated.

She opened the rear door and crouched beside the twins.

“Up you go.”

Sean climbed inside first before turning to help Susie onto the seat beside him.

She still held her stuffed wolf tightly against her chest.

Natalie tucked a blanket around both of them before placing the two canvas bags into the storage compartment behind their seats.

Every movement was gentle.

Careful.

Loving.

The woman I had fallen in love with was still there.

She was simply choosing a future that no longer had room for me.

“Natalie…”

My voice barely carried across the distance between us.

She paused with one hand resting on the driver’s door.

“Please.”

“The northern territories aren’t safe.”

I took another step down the stone staircase.

The tyndicates are still searching for the feet”

“The border councils arupting any me connected to the raid”

“If you leave without me..

My throat tightened.

“…I can’t protect you.”

For the first time since leaving the nursery…

She answered without anger.

“My parents are already waiting for me.”

Her eyes remained fixed on the transport.

“They’ve been tracking my route since before sunrise.”

“They know exactly where we’re going.”

I felt my chest cave inward.

“So you’ve already decided.”

“I decided the moment I learned my marriage was built on secrets.”

The words landed softly.

But they crushed me all the same.

She finally turned.

Her golden eyes met mine across the mist-covered driveway.

There was pain in them.

Enough pain to drown a lifetime.

But there was also something else.

“The Witch Doctor belonged to a life built on lies.”

Her fingers tightened around the door handle.

“And my mate only existed because he believed he knew what was best for everyone else.”

She held my gaze for one final heartbeat.

“I won’t spend another day living inside either man’s shadow.”

She climbed into the driver’s seat.

The heavy steel door slammed shut.

BOOM!

The sound echoed across the estate.

Inside the cabin, Sean looked at me through the window.

His little hand rose slowly.

Pressed against the glass.

I lifted my own hand in return.

A silent promise.

One I prayed I would still have the chance to keep.

The engine roared.

The transport lurched forward, gravel exploding beneath the tires as Natalie accelerated through the openrestate gates.

Mist swallowed the vehicle almost immediately.

For one fleeting second…

The crimson taillights glowed through the dense fog like two dying embers.

Then…

They vanished.

Completely.

The driveway was empty.

I remained standing at the top of the stone steps, staring into the place where the vehicle had disappeared long after the sound of its engine had faded.

The cold morning wind tugged at my torn coat.

I didn’t move.

I couldn’t.

For the first time in years…

I was utterly alone.

Natalie’s POV

r

Within seconds of leaving Blackridge behind, the estate, the coastline, and everything I’d called home disappeared behind a wall of thick gray mist.

The transport surged forward, its engine roaring beneath me as the heavy tires tore through gravel and mud.

The entire cabin vibrated with raw power, every bump in the winding mountain road echoing beneath the armored frame.

I never looked into the rearview mirror.

Not toward the estate.

Not toward the man I’d left standing on those stone steps.

Some things only became harder the longer you looked at them.

Everything faded until there was nothing left except the lonely roads stretching toward the northern mountains.

Nyx stirred quietly beneath my skin.

She stretched through every vein in my body like a creature finally allowed to breathe, her strength flowing through my limbs until even the freezing mountain air couldn’t touch me.

Yet none of that warmth reached my heart.

The mate bond still lingered.

Broken.

Not severed.

Just…

Fractured.

Every mile I drove pulled another thread loose.

Every turn of the wheels unraveled another memory I’d once treasured.

And every single one of them had been built on a lie.

I swallowed hard.

He hadn’t only lied.

He had watched me suffer.

All that time…

The truth had been sleeping beside me every single night.

A bitter ache settled deep inside my chest.

And Jensen…

The memory made my hands tighten around the steering wheel.

ti shattered my own body trying to save him.

I’d entered the black market believing there was one legendary specialist capable of repairing damaged marrow.

1 fought.

I bled.

I sacrificed pieces of myself simply to earn the chance to meet him.

I remembered limping back home afterward.

The realization hollowed me out all over again.

“Mommy…”

Susie’s tiny voice drifted through the steady growl of the engine, so soft it almost disappeared beneath the sound of the tires rolling over the uneven road.

I blinked away the sting gathering behind my eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror.

My heart clenched.

Susie had curled herself into the corner of the back seat, clutching her little stuffed wolf so tightly its ears had folded beneath her fingers.

Her lower lip trembled as she stared out the side window, though there was nothing to see beyond the endless curtain of gray fog.

Beside her, Sean sat perfectly still.

His small shoulders were squared with a determination no five/year-old should have to carry.

One hand rested firmly around his sister’s wrist, holding on to her with quiet reassurance. He hadn’t cried.

Not once.

But I could see it in his eyes.

The confusion.

The fear.

The questions he was too brave to ask.

“Are…” Susie swallowed. “Are we going to see the big trucks now?”

Her voice cracked.

“The ones you told us stories about?”

I nodded, keeping one hand steady on the wheel.

“Yes, sweetheart.”

And

She hesitated

“Is Daddy still standing outside?”

The words struck somewhere deep beneath my ribs.

For one dangerous second, I almost looked into the mirror again.

Almost.

Instead, I fixed my eyes on the winding road ahead.

“Don’t look behind us, Susie.”

My voice came out calm.

Steady.

Far steadier than I felt.

“Sometimes… when we leave a place, the kindest thing we can do for ourselves is keep looking forward.””

She hugged her wolf tighter.

“So… we’re not going back?”

Silence settled inside the cabin.

The only sounds were the rhythmic hum of the engine and the/soft hiss of rain beginning to kiss the windshield.

Finally, I answered.

“No.”

The single word carried more weight than an entire conversation.

“That house isn’t our home anymore.”

Sean finally spoke.

His voice was quiet, but there was an unusual seriousness behind it.

“Is it because Daddy lied?”

I closed my eyes for half a heartbeat.

Children always found the center of the truth.

Not the complicated parts adults buried beneath explanations.

Just the heart of it.

The word hurt.

“But your father also loves you.”

Sean frowned.

“Can both things be true?”

A lump rose painfully into my throat.

“They can.”

Neither child spoke after that.

Sean slowly pulled Susie closer until her head rested against his shoulder.

She let him.

Within minutes, the trembling in her little body began to ease.

I looked at them through the mirror once more.

My babies.

I would never let anyone take them from me again.

The transport lurched violently as the front tires slammed over something buried beneath the overgrown road.

THUD!

The entire vehicle bounced hard enough to rattle the dashboard.

We had crossed the boundary.

He could no longer track us.

Whatever invisible threads still tied me to him…

Had finally snapped.

At that exact moment, something deep inside me awakened.

Warmth.

My breath caught.

They were close.

Very close.

I couldn’t explain how I knew.

I simply did.

Blood calling to blood across the mountains.

For the first time since the day I was stolen…

My family had found me.

I instinctively eased my foot off the accelerator.

Ahead…

Beyond the thick wall of fog…

Large shadows slowly began to emerge.

Massive.

Silent.

Waiting.

One.

Then three.

Then ten.

Until an entire convoy emerged from the fog like giants standing watch over the northern ridges.

Dozens of armored transport rigs stretched across the gravel road, forming an unbreakable wall of steel.

None of them bore a crest.

Only weathered steel, reinforced armor, and the unmistakable scars of people who had spent their lives surviving instead of ruling.

My chest tightened.

I knew them.

Not their faces.

Not their names.

But something buried deep inside me recognized them.

Nyx lifted her head.

Home.

The word wasn’t spoken.

It echoed through my soul.

I slowly pressed my foot against the brake.

The transport skidded across the wet gravel, fishtailing slightly before coming to a controlled stop a few meters from the lead rig.

Silence settled over the ridge.

The only sound was the rumble of idling engines.

Then…

A sharp hiss split the air.

The driver’s door of the lead transport swung open.

A man stepped down.

Silver threaded through his dark hair, but it did nothing to diminish the commanding presence that radiated from him.

A heavy broadsword rested in his hand as though it weighed nothing.

His golden eyes locked onto my vehicle.

The world seemed to stop turning.

Those eyes…

They were my eyes.

A second figure appeared beside him.

A woman.

Mom.

The instant I saw her face…

Something inside me broke.

Her golden eyes shimmered with tears before they ever met mine.

She already knew.

I turned toward the transport and pulled the rear door open.

Sean climbed down first.

Susie followed close behind, clutching her stuffed wolf against her chest,as she reached for my hand.

The moment their feet touched the gravel, two familiar voices drifted through the morning mist.

“Sean…”

“Susie…”

The twins looked up almost in unison.

For a heartbeat, neither of them moved.

Then recognition spread across their little faces.

“Grandma!” Susie gasped.

Her eyes widened before she let go of my hand.

“Grandpa!”
