Chapter 56
Chapter 56:
“They will,” I interrupted coldly. “Because I will anonymously report her. They’ll strip her of her title, her Pack standing, and her precious company. She’ll be a traitor p>
“Consider it done,” Vincent agreed, his greed easily overriding any lingering familial loyalty.
I hung up the phone, a dark sense of satisfaction washing over me. The trap was set. Once her empire crumbled, she would have nowhere to run but back to my arms.
I checked my gold Rolex. It was almost time. Adelina was meeting me at the Wolfe Hotel’s Orion Room tonight to force me to sign the final Pack severance documents. Let her think she was winning. I had a special blend of wolfsbane ready for her drink tonight. By tomorrow morning, her rebellion would be nothing but a drug-induced memory.
Kira POV
The Orion Room at the Wolfe Hotel was designed for discreet, high-stakes Pack negotiations, but tonight it reeked of a desperate Alpha’s delusion.
I sat perfectly still in the adjacent private booth. Separated only by a decorative lattice screen and a heavy velvet curtain, I had a flawless view of Jase Davenport. The harsh overhead lights caught the sweat glistening on his forehead. The scent rolling off him was nauseating — a sour, metallic stench of anxiety and paranoid obsession that made my Inner Wolf curl her lip in disgust.

Through the narrow slits of the screen, I watched him pace. He stopped at the table, his hands trembling slightly as he pulled a small, folded paper from his jacket.
Wolfsbane.
My breath hitched. It was a high-grade white powder, enough to send a wolfless Omega into a violent, hallucinogenic psychosis. He tipped it into the crystal glass on the left, swirling the amber liquid until the powder dissolved completely.
“Once she hits rock bottom, she’ll realize I’m the only Alpha who can save her,” Jase muttered to the empty room, his eyes dark and manic.
My Inner Wolf snarled, her claws scraping against my ribs in a fit of violent jealousy. He still wanted her. After everything I had done to convince him that Adelina was nothing but Kain Blackwell’s used plaything, Jase was still trying to play the savior. I couldn’t let that happen. His pathetic plan was about to become mine.
Suddenly, Jase’s phone buzzed. He snatched it up, his jaw clenching.
“What do you want?” he snapped.
Even through the screen, I could hear the slick, nasal voice of Babe Vincent’s lawyer. “Half a million dollars, Mr. Davenport. By tomorrow. Or I file the paperwork in human court, detailing how a powerful Alpha brutally assaulted my client over a sick obsession with a wolfless Omega. The Pack Elders will love that p>
Jase dragged a hand down his face, his broad shoulders sagging under the weight of his own stupidity. “Fine. You’ll get your money. Just give me until tomorrow. Once I get Adelina back, I’ll wire the funds p>
He hung up, looking like a cornered animal. He was drowning in debt and desperation. Jase wasn’t an Alpha anymore — he was a sinking ship, and I refused to go down with him.
