Baron’s POV

The engine betreath me screamed like a wounded beast.

I leaned harder over the handlebars, every muscle in my body straining against the freezing wind.

Faster.

We had already lost too much time.

The digital display mounted between my hands flashed crimson warning after crimson warning.

TARGET VECTOR LOST.

SIGNAL INTERFERENCE DETECTED.

SEARCH PROTOCOL FAILED.

My jaw tightened until my teeth ached.

The Summers family had disappeared.

Somehow, those parasites had slipped through the largest rogue mobilization Blackridge had ever launched.

Forty execution squads had spread across the southern quadrant, sealing highways, utility roads, abandoned settlements, and every known escape route.

Yet they had still escaped.

“They’re ghosts,” I muttered bitterly.

“No…”

I tightened my grip until the leather around the handlebars groaned beneath my fingers.

“They’re desperate.”

Desperate prey never followed predictable routes.

The engine answered with a deep growl.

“Alpha?” Renee asked.

“The Summers family?”

I looked once toward the southern roads before turning completely toward the north.

“They’re finished.”

The words surprised even me.

“They’ve already lost everything that mattered.”

“Their punishment has begun.”

Shannon remained silent.

I continued,

“Natalie made her choice.”

“I’ll respect it.”

Another notification appeared across my dashboard.

“Whatever they’re chasing…”

My golden eyes fixed on the distant mountains disappearing behind the fog.

“…they won’t face it alone.”

Behind me, forty rogue engines erupted into life at exactly the same moment.
