Chapter 373 The Rope Mafization

“Correct”

its they only escape”

My expression darkened.

If Natalie acknowledged them publicly…

If she claimed them as family…

If the Nomadic Pack extended political protection…

Then creditors couldn’t legally erase the Summers bloodline overnight.

Everything suddenly clicked together. D

They wanted Natalie because she had become valuable.

Not because they loved her.

My chest tightened painfully.

She would never see it coming.

Because despite everything…

Natalie still had one weakness.

Family.

She pretended otherwise.

“Alpha.”

“What.”

“We’ve recovered another transmission.”

My attention snapped back.

“It was uploaded twelve minutes ago.”

The screen shifted.

A public emergency request.

Broadcast to every regional communication tower.

One sentence sat at the center.

“Natalie… please come home. We only want to talk.”

The bike fishtailed acinalgose travel before i forced it straight again!

Liars

Every last one of them.

A harsh laugh escaped me.

They’re too late.”

Renee remained quiet.

“They lost the right to call her daughter years ago.”

The silence stretched.

Finally…

Renee spoke softly.

“And what about you, Alpha?”

The question hit harder than any blade.

I didn’t answer.

Because I already knew.

I had also lost that right.

Not as her guardian.

Not as her protector.

But as the man who claimed to trust her.

The difference was…

I had betrayed her trying to save her.

The Summers had betrayed her because she wasn’t enough.

Neither erased what she’d suffered.

The convoy reached another crossroads.

Four dirt roads branched into the wilderness.

Every one vanished into thick morning fog.

The lead vehicles slowed.

Chapter 911 The Rogue MAHlization

Waiting for my commands

I stared ahead for several long seconds before lifting my heací.

“Split the convoy.”

Forty-engines idled.

“Eight search teams.”

“No road goes unchecked.”

“Every abandoned cabin.”

“Every ferry crossing.”

“Every logging trail.”

“Every fuel station.”

“If they stop for food…”

“We find them.”

“If they stop for fuel…”

“We find them.”

“If they breathe…”

“We find them.”

A chorus of acknowledgments filled the communication channel.

Within seconds, the convoy exploded apart.

Scout bikes disappeared down narrow dirt roads.

Armored transports vanished into forests.

Pickup trucks cut across shallow rivers.

The hunt had officially begun.

I revved the engine once more.

Then looked north.

Toward the mountains hidden beyond endless fog.

Natalie…

Chapter 372 The Rose Maagzation

Please don’t believe them.

Not this time.

With a violent twist of the throttle, launched back onto the road.

The chase was far from over.

The farther north 1 rode, the darker my expression became.

The Summers were getting farther away.

Every second they remained free was another second closer to Natalie.

Another second for them to poison her mind with lies.

Another second for them to stand anywhere near my wife.

That thought alone made my Raze current surge violently through my veins.

I twisted the throttle harder.

The scout bike responded with a deafening howl, its rear tire fishtailing over loose gravel before biting into the road again.

Ahead, the trees finally began to thin.

An old wrought-iron gate emerged from the fog.

The Summers pack.

Or what was left of it.

The once-grand entrance stood half open, one gate hanging crookedly from broken hinges.

I didn’t slow down.

The bike shot through the gates, gravel exploding beneath the tires as I tore across the empty courtyard.

No guards.

No patrols.

No security checkpoints.

Nothing.

The pack that had once bustled with servants and warriors now looked like a ghost town.

I skidded to a stop directly before the pack house.

The engine hadn’t even finished growling when I threw myself off the bike.

My boots struck the stone steps.

Then I drove my shoulder straight into the front doors.

BOOM!

The reinforced oak shattered inward under the force of my impact.

Wood splintered across the marble foyer.

The echo rolled through the empty house like thunder.

I didn’t pause.

“Tear every room apart!” I barked into my communicator as my men poured through the entrance behind me.

“Search everything!”

“No hiding places!”

“No secret passages!”

“They’re here somewhere!”

My Raze energy exploded outward.

The pressure wave swept through the mansion, rattling chandeliers and cracking picture frames off the walls.

Dust drifted lazily through the air.

Silence answered me.

Too much silence.

The grand staircase stood empty.

The dining hall was deserted.

The servants’ quarters had been stripped bare.

Even the paintings had been removed from the walls.

S

Someone hadn’t simply fled.

They had prepared for it.

I stalked toward Robert Summers’ private study.

The heavy cedar doors were already hanging open.

Chapter 312 The Rogan MAMUzation

The office had been gutted,

Every filing cabinet stood open.

Desk drawers had been emptied.

The wall safe yawned wide, its steel door swinging slightly off broken hinges.

Even the shelves where decades of family records had been kept were bare.

“They cleaned everything,” one of my men muttered.

“They’ve been planning this.”

“I know.”

My voice came out frighteningly calm.

That calm lasted exactly three seconds.

Then my communicator buzzed.

“Alpha.”

Renee.

I answered instantly.

“Report.”

“The estate is confirmed empty.”

“I can see that.”

“We’ve intercepted traffic cameras from the southern bypass.”

I waited.

“The Summers transport crossed the bridge thirty-six minutes before your arrival.”

My stomach sank.

“They anticipated us.”

“Yes.”

I closed my eyes briefly.

Robert Summers wasn’t a strategist.

His wife certainly wasn’t.

meant

“Sharon.”

Renee didn’t answer immediately

She didn’t have to.

We both knew.

Even after months locked inside an asylum…

Sharon had started thinking the moment she walked free.

“They switched vehicles twice,” Renee continued.

“Abandoned the main highway.”

“Destroyed their GPS module.”

“They’re traveling through abandoned marsh roads our satellites cannot fully monitor.”

I stared at the empty study.

The silence suddenly felt unbearable.

“Current location?”

“Unknown.”

My fingers slowly curled into fists.

“We’ve lost them.”

The words echoed inside my skull.

Lost them… but how?

After everything…

After finally finding Natalie…

After losing her…

Now the very people who had destroyed her childhood had slipped through my fingers.

A sharp crack echoed through the room.

Only then did I realize I had crushed the solid oak edge of Robert Summers’ desk with one hand.

Wood splintered beneath my fingers.

The entire desk collapsed sideways.

it wasn’t enough

Rage boiled higher.

I turned and drove my fist into the stone fireplace.

BOOM!

Granite exploded.

Chunks of rock blasted across the ropm.

Outside, every member of my rogue unit froze.

No one dared enter.

No one dared speak.

I stood there breathing hard, surrounded by broken stone and shattered timber.

Images flashed through my mind.

Natalie laughing softly while making cinnamon tea.

Sean asleep on my shoulder.

Susie insisting I braid her hair even though I had never learned how.

Then another image followed.

Robert Summers kneeling before Natalie.

Begging.

Crying.

Calling her daughter.

Sharon standing behind him with innocent eyes that hid a serpent’s heart.

I knew that look.

She would wait.

She would smile.

She would pretend to repent.

And the first moment Natalie lowered her guard…

Sharon would strike.

ep my communicator one final time.

“Yes, Alpha.”

“Change the mission.”

A pause.

“The Summers are no longer the primary objective”

“They re not?”

“No.”

I looked through the broken windows toward the distant northern mountains hidden beneath layers of fog.

“Our priority is Natalie.”

D

“If the Summers reach her first…”

I swallowed the bitterness clawing at my throat.

“…they’ll hurt her again.”

“And I won’t allow it.”

Renee’s voice softened.

“I understand.”

I lowered my head.

Chapter 373 The Blood Brother Vector

Natalie’s POV

Outside the narrow windows, the northern wilderness stretched in every direction.

Coters

Endless forests swallowed the horizon, while thick curtains of morning mist drifted lazily between towering pines, hiding the rest of our convoy from view.

Inside, the atmosphere remained calm.

Not peaceful.

Never peaceful.

Just… controlled.

The chaos of Blackridge had been left behind with the southern coastline. The frantic alarms, the blood, the betrayal, the endless

secrets.

Here, only the rhythmic growl of diesel engines and the occasional crackle of the convoy radio disturbed the silence.

I sat near the front of the command cabin, one elbow resting lightly against the cold steel armrest as I watched the navigation display scroll across the monitor.

Our convoy remained in perfect formation.

Thirty armored rigs.

Four scout vehicles.

Two rear supply transports.

Every few minutes, another green marker appeared on the digital terrain map as our patrols checked in from the surrounding

ridges.

Secure.

Stable.

Protected.

Behind my ribs, Nyx remained silent beneath the heavy frost I had forced around her consciousness.

I could still feel her presence, buried deep inside my marrow, but she no longer argued. She no longer whispered Baron’s name,

The bond between us had fractured.

The wound still existed.

But I refused to touch it.

A sharp hiss echoed through the cabin as the reinforced sliding door opened

10:28 am P PPP.

Chapter 373 The Blood Brother Vector

Flynn stepped inside.

He crossed the cabin without speaking immediately, steadying himself as the rig bounced over another uneven stretch of road before stopping beside my seat.

“The rear convoy has finished rotating positions he reported quietly.

“The scouts haven’t detected anyone following us.”

I nodded once.

“What about the southern roads?”

“They’re quiet.”

His gray eyes studied me carefully.

“Baron’s convoy never crossed the northern boundary.”

“I know.”

“He turned back.”

“I know… you mentioned earlier.””

Flynn watched me for another moment before exhaling quietly.

“I wasn’t sure he’d actually stop.”

I finally looked at him.

“He had to.”

The northern territories weren’t Blackridge.

Baron couldn’t simply cross our borders with an army.

Doing so would mean declaring war against the Pack itself.

Even he wasn’t reckless enough to ignite that kind of conflict.

A brief silence settled between us.

From the rear sleeping berth came the soft rustle of blankets.

Sean shifted first.

He had refused to sleep properly since we’d left Blackridge.

Instead, he sat curled beneath one of the heavy wool blankets, watching everything with those impossibly observante

So much like his father.

Too much.

Chapter-373 The Blood Brother Vector

When our eyes met, he offered a tiny nod.

Not frightened.

Not crying.

Just…

Thinking

Always thinking.

Beside him, Susie remained asleep, her tiny face buried against her blanket while one hand clung stubbornly to the worn plush wolf she’d refused to leave behind.

Ruby had already tried replacing it with a beautifully handcrafted nomad doll earlier that morning.

Susie had politely thanked her…

…then hugged the old wolf even tighter.

My chest tightened painfully.

Children didn’t understand broken family.

They only understood absence.

I forced my attention away before the ache inside me could grow any deeper.

“They’re adjusting,” Flynn said quietly, following my gaze.

“They’re surviving.”

“They deserve more than survival.”

His expression softened.

“They’ll have it.”

The confidence in his voice made me glance back at him.

Flynn wasn’t making a promise as one of the commanders.

He was making it as an older brother.

As an uncle.

As family.

A strange warmth flickered briefty beneath the ice surrounding my heart before I buried it again

Family.

The word still felt unfamiliar.

Not because Hacked one anymore…

But because I was still learning how to believe it.

The cabin door slid open once again.

This time it was my mom.

She stepped inside carrying two steaming metal mugs, the scent of fresh mountain herbs mmediately replacing the sharp smell of diesel and steel.

Without saying a word, she handed one to Flynn before offering the other to me.

“You haven’t eaten.”

“I’m not hungry.”

“You haven’t slept either.”

“I’ll sleep later.”

Mom sighed.

“You’ve been saying that since yesterday.”

I accepted the mug more to stop her worrying than because I wanted it.

The warm metal settled against my cold palms.

She smiled faintly.

“A start.”

Before anyone could say another word, heavy footsteps echoed from the corridor.

Dad entered.

Unlike Flynn and Ruby, there was no softness in his expression.

Only the calm authority of an Alpha who had spent decades leading wandering warriors through hostile territory.

He stopped before the navigation table.

“The scouts have returned.”

Everyone became attentive

Waylon rested both hands on the steel map table.

“The Swimmers have changed direction.”

Neither Flynn nor Hooked surprised.

“They’re heading north,” Dad continued.

They’ve abandoned every major highway and are cutting through the marsh roads.”

“They’re looking for us

Flynn’s jaw hardened.

“I’ll take twenty men.”

Dad looked at him.

“They won’t get close.”

“I’ll intercept them before they reach these mountains.”

Mom immediately shook her head.

“No.”

Flynn frowned.

“They’re coming for Natalie.”

“I know.”

“Then why wait?”

Dad answered before Mom could.

“Because fighting them gives them exactly what they want.”

The cabin fell silent.

Waylon looked toward me.

“They’re desperate.”

“They’ve lost everything.”

“Now they’re chasing the only thing they believe can save them.”

His voice grew quieter.

“Daughter…”

“We don’t have to meet them.”

“We can disappear.”

He gestured toward the endless mountains beyond the window.

“The wandering lanes have protected our people for generations”

“If! give the order, every convoy changes course before senset

No Tracker will find us.”

“No satellite will hold our trail.

“No council will know where we’ve gone.

Mom stepped closer, resting a gentle hand against my shoulder

“You’ve suffered enough.”

“You don’t owe those people another moment of your life.”

“Leave them behind.”

“Let the mountains bury the past.”

I looked from Mom…

…to Dad…

…then finally toward Flynn.

All three of them wore different expressions.

Concern.

Protection.

Determination.

For the first time in my life…

People wanted to shield me instead of using me.

It should have been enough.

It almost was.

But Sharon was still alive… Locked up but still alive.

I slowly placed the untouched mug onto the table.

Then I lifted my eyes.

“No.”

The single word settled over the cabin like falling snow.

“I won’t run ”

No one spoke.

Dad slowly folded his arms over his chest.

Natalie,” he said quietly, “listen to your mother.”

Dad reached across the table, laying her hand over mine.

Her palm was warm despite the freezing temperature inside the rig

“My daughter… you owe those people nothing.”

Her voice trembled with restrained emotion.

“They starved you of affection.”

“They blamed you for things you never did.”

“They cast you aside the moment Sharon returned.”

“They watched while that girl tormented you for years.”

“They let you leave their home broken.”

Ruby swallowed hard.

“They do not deserve another chance to wound you.”

“They’re desperate now.”

“They’ve lost everything.”

“They’re reaching for the only thing they think can save them.”

“You.”

Waylon nodded.

“If they truly regretted what happened…”

“They would’ve searched for you after casting you out.”

“They would’ve apologized before their empire collapsed.”

“They would’ve chosen you when they still had power.”

“They didn’t.”

“They only remembered your name after discovering who you truly are.”

His voice hardened.

“That isn’t love.”

“That’s survival.”

! looked down at the map spread across the steel table.

A blinking signal marked the emergency transmission Flynn had intercepted.

The Summers family hadn’t stopped.broadcasting-

They were sending message after message across every regional server.

Calling my name.

Begging me to answer.

Promising they wanted their daughter home.

Promising they regretted everything

Promising they only wanted to make things right.

A bitter laugh escaped me.

“They’re becoming very convincing.”

Flynn snorted.

“Only to people who never met them.”

I looked toward him.

“When they threw me out…”

“Who escorted me beyond the estate gates?”

His jaw tightened.

“I did.”

“Did anyone stop you?”

“No.”

“Did anyone tell you to bring me back?”

“No.”

I nodded.

“When Sharon poisoned Mother…”

Ruby frowned slightly.

“When Sharon tried to kill her.”

“Twas blamed.”

“When Sharon attacked the servants.

was blamed”

“When Sharon burned half the greenhouse

“I was blamed.”

“When she framed me over and over again…”

“They believed every word she said.”

My voice remained perfectly calm.

“They didn’t lose me.”

“They discarded me.”

The cabin became quiet again.

Outside, another transport rumbled into formation beside ours.

Mom squeezed my hand.

“But that doesn’t mean you should go back to them.”

“I’m not.”

She blinked.

“I’m going to them.”

Waylon’s eyes narrowed.

“There’s a difference.”

“There is.”

“I’m not walking onto their territory as the abandoned girl who begged for their approval.”

I slowly rose from the bench.

The thick wool coat settled around my shoulders as I walked toward the windshield.

Ahead of us stretched miles of mountain roads hidden beneath drifting fog.

“They summoned Natalie Summers.”

I smiled coldly.

“What they’ll meet…”

is Natalie Frost.”

Behind me, Flynn’s lips curved into the faintest smile.

10:29 am Pppp.

Chapter 373 The Blood Brother Vector

“Now that sounds like my sister.”

Waylon wasn’t smiling

He remained studying me for several long moments before finally asking.

“What exactly do you intend to accomplish?”

I looked through the windshield.

“They believe I’m still carrying twenty years of emotional debt.”

“They think guilt is enough to pull me back.”

“They think I’ll hesitate.”

“They’re wrong.”

Mom stood.

“Natalie…”

“If you face them…”

“They’ll cry.”

“They’ll beg.”

“They’ll use every memory they can.”

“They’ll talk about birthdays.”

“They’ll mention your childhood.”

“They’ll remind you of every tiny act of kindness they ever showed you.”

“They’ll weaponize your heart.”

Her eyes shimmered.

“I don’t want them hurting you again.”

I turned toward her.

“They can’t.”

The answer came without hesitation.

“They already took everything they could.”

They don’t have anything left to steal”

Dad finally released a slow breath.

10:29 am PP pp.

Chapter 373 The Blood Brother Vector

“You’ve already made your decision.”

“Yes.”

“I won’t stop you.”

His voice deepened.

“But you won’t stand there alone.”

I frowned.

“Father-”

He cut me off before I could argue.

“We never walks into enemy territory without her pack.”

Ruby nodded immediately.

“Neither do our grandchildren.”

Sean looked up from his blanket.

“Are we going somewhere?”

His sleepy little voice instantly softened the atmosphere.

I walked over and knelt beside him.

“Yes.”

“To meet some people.”

“The bad people?”

I smiled faintly.

His brows furrowed.
