Deputies arrived just in time. Grant vanished into the treeline, leaving the house as a sealed crime scene. At the hospital, Sophie’s malnutrition and trauma were stark. Detective Mariah Penn confirmed what Daniel had feared: the notebook was more than a record—it was a roadmap of a conspiracy.

Daniel was no longer tracking poachers—he was a father, a Ranger, a predator in his own right, waiting. Shadow flickered at the corridor’s edge, and Daniel stepped into the hall, muscles coiled, eyes sharp as flint. The game had moved inside, and the hunter was ready. Protection wasn’t over—it had only just begun.
