Chapter 440
Chapter 440:
I severed the connection. The silence of my office returned, heavy with the promise of victory. I walked over to my desk and picked up my leather-bound planner. The Swiss lab would take five days to process the expedited results.
With a calm, steady hand, I picked up my gold pen and drew a thick black line through my entire schedule for next Friday night. I wouldn’t be attending any Senate galas or committee hearings. I would be right here, waiting in the den, ready to welcome my runaway Mate home for good.
Kain POV
The silence in my penthouse office at Blackstone Tower was a suffocating, physical weight.
The heavy glass doors suddenly clicked open.
I didn’t look up from the Bloomberg terminal, expecting my Beta. But the scent that invaded my den wasn’t Fletcher’s. It was a cloying, artificial human perfume that instantly made my upper lip curl in disgust.
Dr. Chloe Monroe stood in the doorway, having bypassed my security using an unexpired medical emergency pass. She wore a calculated, sympathetic smile as she stepped into my sanctuary as if she belonged there.

“Kain,” Chloe murmured, her voice dripping with faux concern. “I heard what happened at Sterling Capital today. It’s a shame your little Luna couldn’t handle the negotiations. Isabelle Sterling completely humiliated her, backing her into a corner over a measly fifty million. It must be exhausting, constantly having to clean up the messes of a wolfless girl who refuses to know her place p>
She took another step closer, her eyes softening in a pathetic attempt at intimacy. “You need someone who understands the weight of your crown. Someone who doesn’t make you weak p>
My Lycan didn’t just snap — it exploded.
The temperature in the office plummeted to absolute zero. My ancient cedar scent flooded the room, turning so dense and lethal it became a physical weapon. I didn’t give her a fraction of a second to utter another filthy syllable.
Moving with blinding, predatory speed, my hand clamped around her throat. I slammed her hard against the floor-to-ceiling glass wall overlooking Manhattan. Chloe’s eyes bulged in pure, unadulterated terror, her hands clawing uselessly at my iron grip as her feet dangled inches off the floor.
“If you ever dare to speak of my Queen again,” I growled, my voice a dark, subsonic vibration that rattled the glass behind her, “I will erase you from this earth so thoroughly that not even your bones will remain p>
I didn’t wait for her to gasp for air. I tapped into the Pack Mind-Link. “Guards. Remove this trash from my den p>
Two massive Warriors materialized instantly, prying her from my grip and dragging her screaming, pathetic form out of my office like a bag of garbage.
But the damage was done. The knowledge that Isabelle Sterling had dared to wound my Mate acted like gasoline on the raging inferno of my unvented frustration. I couldn’t hold Adelina right now, but I could absolutely annihilate her enemies.
I closed my eyes, slamming my consciousness into the Mind-Link.
“Fletcher,” I transmitted, my mental voice a freezing roar of pure killing intent. “Find me the Sterling family’s throat. I want to rip it out before the market closes p>
