Chapter 87 The Confrontation

Baron’s POV

Suddenly, a laugh erupted from him. It was an ugly, broken noise that rattled in my chest.

“Baron,” he wheezed. “You can read everyone’s heart… you see the evil in me, the loyalty in Phantom. But can you read Natalie’s?”

His smirk deepened as he saw the look on my face, “look at her! That woman wasted five years of her life groveling for a piece of trash like Jensen. She’s nothing but a used–up whore! You are the King of the North. Alpha to one of the strongest packs in the continent, you could have any woman you want… why her? Why sacrifice us for her?”

The last word had barely left his mouth before my world went white.

Inside me, Raze, my wolf growled.

‘Kill him,’ Raze demanded, his claws scraping against the back of my eyes. ‘Tear the tongue from his throat for speaking her name with that filth.”

I didn’t… no, couldn’t think.

I didn’t decide.

I was a passenger in my

Wn body as my fist smashed across Finn’s face.

The sound of bone meeting bone was sickeningly satisfying. Finn reeled back, his head snapping to the side, but the beast in me wasn’t satiated.

Raze wanted to feel the heat of his heart.

My muscles coiled, my nails digging into my palms as they began to sharpen into claws.

Just as Finn spat a mouthful of blood, ready to spew more venom,a hoarse, trembling voice cut through the room, calming Raze.

“Stop!”

I froze, my fist mid–swing, as I turned, my heart leaping into my throat.

Natalie.

She was standing at the entrance of the morgue, looking like a ghost.

She was supported by a nurse, her body swaying, her face pale beneath the medical tape.

She was staggering, every movement a visible struggle.

“You shouldn’t be out here,” I said at once, the heat of Raze instantly cooling into a protective worry.

I left Finn where he lay, moving to her side in an instant.

My arm slipped around her waist with the practiced gentleness.

“Natalie, with bums like yours, an infection could kill you. You’re supposed to be in the strife wing.

Chapter 87 The Confrontation

Every step she had taken to get here must have sent waves of agony tearing through her, but she didn’t look at me. She didn’t look at the exit, but simply lifted her gaze, burning with a cold light I had never seen and fixed it on Finn.

I felt Natalie’s chest tighten against my side, but when she met Finn’s eyes there wasn’t a flicker of fear in her.

She stood tall in the crook of my arm, a broken queen reclaiming her court.

‘That’s our Luna,‘ Raze said proudly.

“Finn,” she said, her voice raspy but steady. “You hate me because of Phantom, don’t you? You think my life was the price of hers.”

“Yes!” Finn screamed, struggling to pull himself up against the lockers. “You’re a curse! You’re a hollow, useless woman who couldn’t even keep her own mate! If not for you, my Phantom would still be alive! My child would be alive!”

“No,” Natalie said, her voice echoing with a chilling confidence. “Even without me, Phantom would have died. She was dead the moment you made your choice, Finn. She died because of you.”

She didn’t deny the debt nor did she pretend that Phantom hadn’t died protecting her.

Natalie would carry that weight until her last breath.

Her words nearly sent Finn into a frenzy.

He lunged forward, though he couldn’t get to his feet. “What nonsense are you spouting?! You destroyed her! Your weakness destroyed her!”

“I’m not spouting nonsense,” Natalie replied, her voice turning cold. “From the day you betrayed Baron, from the day you opened the door to the enemy, Phantom’s death was inevitable.”

I felt Raze settle within me, watching her with a newfound, savage respect.

“You’re lying!” Finn’s voice was high and defensive now. “If Baron hadn’t sent her to protect you, this weak wolfless bitch… she would have lived!”

‘Let her handle it,‘ Raze said in my head, stopping my interference.

Natalie’s gaze sharpened, “really? You think distance would have saved her? Then tell me, Finn… why couldn’t you even protect your own parents? They were thousands of miles away. Was that Baron’s fault too?”

The blow landed true.

Finn’s chest heaved, his breath coming in gasps, but no words came to refute her.

Natalie’s voice remained cold, “you hate your parents, don’t you? The fact that they abandoned you never left, no matter how much rank or success you’ve achieved in this Pack. You crave their love like a starving man and you were ashamed of that weakness.”

Finn flinched as if she’d struck him, but he didn’t deny it.

Natalie knew she was right. I felt the pulse of her conviction through the arm I held around her

“If your mother hadn’t been ill, maybe you wouldn’t have cared at all, would you?” she continued, her voice softening.
