Kael Voss PovThe path had not ended, and neither had we.I stood in the command room before sunrise with the newest field reports open on the table. The trail from the rock cut continued northeast along the higher ground. The forward teams had held the line through the night and sent two short updates. The signs remained weak and carefully cleaned, but they were still present.Elias sat across from me, the blanket scrap resting near his hand. The silence in the bond where Rowan should have been had not changed. Every reach toward our son ended in the same empty place. The absence sat between us without softening.“They’re still on the rising track,” I said. “No clean turn. They’re trying to keep the gap without giving us a clear break.”Elias looked at the map. “The upper line sits in this same direction. If they reach it and settle, the trail may stop.”“Then we do not let them settle.”Riven entered with the direct report from the forward line. Cold air and the smell of pine came i

Kael Voss PovThe path had not ended, and neither had we.I stood in the command room long before sunrise, both hands flat on the map. The trail had held through another night, but the pattern of the last several days had become too familiar. Short stops. Burned cloth. Empty vials. A faint scent that proved Rowan had been there and then moved again. The gap never closed. The silence in the bond never changed.Elias sat across from me, the blanket scrap still near his hand. His face was drawn. Neither of us had slept more than an hour at a time since the night Rowan was taken.“They’re not just running,” I said. “They’re managing the distance. Every stop is long enough to change cloth or vehicle, short enough to keep us from closing in.”Elias looked at the chain of marks. “Then we change how we hunt. If we only follow, they will stay ahead until they reach the upper line and disappear.”I nodded once. “We stop reacting. We start cutting them off.”Riven entered with the overnight rep

Kael Voss PovThey did not know we were already coming.We moved through the higher forest under full dark. The route kept us off the main tracks and out of easy sight lines. Cold air carried the sharp smell of pine and wet stone. The team stayed silent and tight around me. Elias walked at my side. Through the bond I felt the hard control he was forcing over his fear, even while the place where Rowan should have been remained cold and empty.Riven’s voice came low through the short-range link. “Wide team still has eyes on the camp. No change. Transport is in the same place. One small fire. Limited movement. They look settled.”“Hold position,” I answered. “We come in from the south ridge and the east slope. No one moves until both groups are set.”The plan was simple and ruthless. One group would cut the only clear exit from the valley. The second would drop straight onto the camp the moment the exit was closed. Speed mattered more than perfect silence once we broke cover. If they t

Kael Voss PovThe distance between us was no longer as safe as his captors had planned.I stood on the edge of the plateau as the last of the dark faded. The trail had brought us this far, but following broken marks and faint scent was no longer enough. Every time we closed in, they moved Rowan just ahead of us. That pattern ended today.Elias stood beside me, the small shirt still in his hand. The silence in the bond remained absolute. The empty place where our son should have been had not changed, but the near miss in the valley had hardened something in both of us.“We stop chasing their leftovers,” I said. “We start forcing them to run into us.”Elias looked at the open ground ahead. “Ambush points. Cut the routes they need.”“Yes. They have been choosing the ground. Now we choose it.”I called Riven and the senior team leaders in. The plan was simple and aggressive. Two small groups would move wide and fast to block the most likely paths off the plateau. A third group would stay

Kael Voss PovThe people carrying him were running out of room to keep him that way.I moved the teams before the last of the night had fully lifted. The blocking lines had held. No one had slipped past us in the dark. That alone was a chance from the first days of the hunt. The captors were being forced to move on ground we had already chosen, and every step cost them more than it cost us.Elias walked at my side, quiet and focused. The silence in the bond remained absolute. The empty place where Rowan belonged had not eased, but the pressure we were putting on the trail had given us something better than hope. It had given us momentum.Riven’s voice came through the link from the left ridge. “Fresh marks on the high path. They’re moving again. Two carriers switching off. They’re trying to stay ahead of the light.”“Push them,” I ordered. “No clean gaps. Make them choose the next ground under pressure.”The center group increased pace. The wide teams shifted to keep the side routes
