Chapter 393:
Adelina POV
The morning of Kira Parrish’s trial dawned cold and gray, but inside the penthouse den at Blackstone Tower, my dormant White Wolf hummed with glacial, calculated anticipation.
I sat at the vanity, smoothing the fabric of my tailored black suit. Kain stepped up behind me. The intoxicating, heavy scent of his ancient cedar wrapped around my shoulders as he placed a black velvet box on the marble counter and popped it open.
Inside rested a massive, fifteen-carat pink diamond ring. It caught the morning light — blinding and lethal.
“We don’t keep things that have been touched by trash,” Kain rumbled, his golden eyes meeting mine in the mirror. He lifted my left hand and slid the heavy stone onto my finger. It wasn’t merely a replacement for the stolen sapphire; it was an absolute, unquestionable declaration of his ownership and my status.
A rush of pure, intoxicating power flooded my veins. I turned on the velvet stool and pulled his mouth down to mine in a fierce, deeply possessive kiss that sealed our dark alliance.
An hour later, the armored Rolls-Royce Phantom glided into the dim concrete of the VIP parking garage beneath the Manhattan Supreme Court.

The moment my heels hit the pavement, a pathetic, sour stench assaulted my senses — cheap alcohol and rotting despair.

Jase Davenport lunged from behind a thick concrete pillar. He looked like a feral stray, his designer suit wrinkled and stained, his eyes bloodshot with manic desperation.
He didn’t make it two steps.
Three Blackstone Pack Warriors materialized from the shadows. With brutal, effortless efficiency, they seized Jase and slammed his face hard against the hood of the Rolls-Royce. Blood smeared the pristine metal as he thrashed wildly against their iron grips.
“He’s a monster!” Jase screamed, his broken Alpha wolf howling in pathetic agony. He twisted his neck, locking his manic eyes on me. “He destroyed my empire for you! He’s caging you! Tomorrow he’ll destroy you too p>
Beside me, Kain went completely rigid. His ancient cedar scent spiked with pure, unadulterated killing intent. A subsonic, murderous snarl vibrated in his chest as he stepped forward, fully intending to snap Jase’s legs.
I placed my hand flat against Kain’s chest. He stopped instantly, his glowing golden eyes dropping to mine. I gave him a single, calm look. Let me.
I walked slowly toward the ruined Alpha pinned against the car. I didn’t yell. I didn’t flinch. I leaned down and raised my left hand, letting the massive pink diamond flash inches from his bloodied face.
“He didn’t destroy you because he’s a monster, Jase,” I whispered, my voice a flat, freezing void devoid of any mercy. “He destroyed you because I asked him to p>
The words struck him like a physical blow. The manic desperation in his eyes hollowed instantly into pure, empty horror. The last shred of his sanity snapped. His Inner Wolf let out a final, pathetic whimper of absolute submission — the realization that the woman he believed he needed to save had been the predator who orchestrated his descent into hell.
Behind me, Kain’s Lycan roared with overwhelming, possessive pride.
