Chapter 331
Chapter 331:
“Dinner is over,” Kain stated, his voice dropping into a freezing, authoritative register.
He stood and stalked around the edge of the obsidian table. Before I could even push my chair back, his large hands clamped down on the armrests. With one effortless, terrifyingly smooth motion, he spun my chair around to face him.
He leaned down, caging me completely between his massive frame and the cold back of the chair. His ancient cedar scent swallowed all the oxygen in the room.
“You cooked for me,” Kain rumbled, his golden eyes burning with an unyielding, territorial fire. “A beautiful gesture. But now it is time for me to collect my real thanks p>
“Kain—” I breathed, my hands instinctively coming up to rest against his hard chest.
“Good evening, Mrs. Blackwell,” he whispered huskily.
He didn’t give me a chance to reply. His mouth crashed down on mine with absolute, undeniable authority. The electric spark of our mate-bond exploded across my lips, sending a scorching heat straight to my core. The last fragile wall of my resistance crumbled into dust, and my wolfless body surrendered completely to the overwhelming, consuming power of the Lycan King.
Adelina POV
Kain broke the kiss, leaving me gasping for air. My fingers dug into his broad shoulders, and a helpless, trembling whimper slipped from my lips.
That tiny sound was the spark that ignited the beast.

A deep, feral growl vibrated in his chest. Before I could process his intent, he scooped me into his arms. I gasped, but he ignored my weak protests and strode past the obsidian dining table toward the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse. The scent of ancient cedar and raw power was suffocating. He pressed my back against the freezing glass.
“Kain, stop,” I begged, my heart hammering as I looked down at the millions of glittering Manhattan lights. “The city… anyone could see us p>
He caged me in, his massive frame blocking out the room behind him. “This glass is Lycan-forged, little wolf,” he rasped against my ear. “One-way, bulletproof. It blocks sight, sound, and scent. The world is beneath you, but no one can see you p>
My last shred of hope died. He didn’t hesitate. The violent, electric spark of our mate-bond obliterated all thought the moment it ignited, my wolfless body betraying my mind and melting into a terrifying, all-consuming pleasure. For two agonizingly perfect hours, his relentless Lycan stamina completely dismantled me. I was thoroughly conquered, body and soul. When he finally carried my limp, exhausted body to the master bedroom, I plunged into darkness.
Sometime in the dead of night, a shift in the mattress stirred me.
Through the heavy, hazy slit of my eyelids, I saw Kain sitting on the edge of the bed. He opened a hidden compartment in the nightstand and withdrew a small crystal box. Inside lay a single, perfectly preserved wild rose petal. I didn’t understand why he had it, but he brought it to his lips with a reverence that bordered on madness.
