Chapter 149:
“The car is waiting downstairs,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “It’s time to head to the airstrip p>
Adelina POV
The drive to the private airstrip was a tense, suffocating blur. When I finally stepped out of the SUV, the crisp morning air whipped my hair — but my eyes locked instantly on the massive, matte-black Gulfstream G650 resting on the tarmac. Painted across the fuselage in elegant, gleaming platinum lettering was a single word: The Wolfe.
My breath hitched. It wasn’t just a name. It was a blatant, unapologetic Lycan claim broadcast to the entire world.

Kain’s hand settled heavily on my lower back, the violent electric spark shooting straight to my core as he guided me up the stairs. The interior was a flying penthouse, the air already thick with his ancient cedar scent. It felt exactly like a gilded cage.
“Welcome aboard, Luna,” the pilot greeted with a deep, respectful bow.
I offered a stiff nod and sank into a plush leather seat. I was trapped — sentenced to three days of isolation with a man who made my heart race, yet whose chest bore the initials of another.
Jase POV
The reinforced glass of my Davenport Tech office vibrated as I hurled my phone against the wall. The screen shattered into a spiderweb of cracks, but the image from Dixie’s gossip blog, The Howl, was already burned into my retinas — Adelina, boarding a private jet named The Wolfe.
My Inner Wolf roared, clawing at my ribs in a blinding, metallic-scented agony. He was parading my property like a trophy.
The heavy door opened. Kira strolled in holding a thick stack of wedding planning books, her cloying jasmine scent polluting my office.
“Get out!” I snarled, my claws elongating and biting into my palms. “He’s parading her in front of the entire continent p>
Kira rolled her eyes, her expression twisting with disdain. “Don’t be pathetic, Jase. Everyone knows it’s a fake marriage. Kain Blackwell loves his Beta. She’s just a cover p>
“I said get out!” I roared, the sheer force of my Alpha’s Command making her flinch and drop a binder.
Kira POV
I slammed the office door behind me, my chest heaving with indignation. If Jase was too obsessed with that wolfless girl to focus on our Mating ceremony, I would handle her myself. She was not going to win.
I pulled out my encrypted phone and dialed the private investigator I had kept on the Parrish payroll.
“Find out where Kain Blackwell’s jet just landed,” I hissed into the receiver, my eyes narrowing at the closed office door. “I want their exact itinerary. I’m going to have a surprise waiting for my dear stepsister when she returns p>
Adelina POV
The helicopter ride from the Bahamian airport to Blackstone Cay was a silent affair. When we finally stepped into the Master Suite of the Alpha’s private cliffside villa, the 360-degree view of the turquoise ocean was breathtaking.
But my focus was entirely on the massive king-sized bed in the center of the room.
