Chapter 395:
A feral, blood-curdling scream tore from her throat. She violently wrenched her arm free from the bailiff. Her fingernails instantly lengthened, turning into jagged, black wolf claws as she lunged directly at my face.
Kain didn’t even stand up.
Moving with terrifying, blinding Lycan speed, he simply shifted his massive shoulders, completely eclipsing me with his body. The temperature in the courtroom plummeted to a freezing vacuum. A suffocating wave of pure, unadulterated killing intent exploded from him. From deep within his chest, Kain let out a low, subsonic roar—a sound so dark and dominant it made the heavy wooden benches vibrate.
The sheer physical force of the Lycan King’s wrath hit Kira like a concrete wall. Her eyes rolled back, and her legs gave out instantly. She collapsed before her claws even grazed the wooden railing.
The terrified bailiffs piled on top of her, pinning her to the polished floor. Kira thrashed wildly, her face pressed against the wood, screaming hoarse, psychotic death threats that echoed uselessly in the high-ceilinged room.
I sat perfectly still behind my Mate, my heart beating with a calm, steady rhythm. I reached out, resting my hand on Kain’s rigid, muscular forearm. I stroked his tense skin gently, a silent command from a Queen soothing her King.

We stepped out onto the wide marble landing, the crisp, biting autumn air a welcome relief from the suffocating, incense-choked courtroom.

Brent Parrish stood blocking our path. The scent of a proud Silvermoon Warrior was completely gone, replaced by the rancid, sour stench of cheap alcohol and absolute despair. His clothes were disheveled, his eyes bloodshot and manic. He pointed a trembling finger directly at my face.
“You destroyed my family!” Brent screamed, his voice cracking with impotent rage. “Kira is in a cage because of you! I’ll make you pay, Adelina! Blood for blood, I swear to the Moon Goddess I will p>
He didn’t get to finish his pathetic death threat.
Kain didn’t even bother to look at him. Two towering Blackstone Pack Warriors materialized from the periphery like ghosts. They seized Brent by the arms, twisting them painfully behind his back and pinning him three meters away. Brent thrashed wildly, his Inner Wolf howling in a useless, feral frenzy.
I stopped on the marble step. I didn’t shrink behind my Mate. My dormant White Wolf rose to the surface, lending me an unshakable, glacial calm. I looked at the man who had once locked me in a silver-laced cellar, feeling absolutely nothing but cold contempt.
“The Parrish family’s destruction is due to your greed and stupidity,” I stated, my voice a flat, emotionless void that cut through his screaming. “Now, disappear from my sight p>
