Chapter 65:
Kain ignored the trembling staff. He locked his glacial, centuries-old stare entirely on Jase. “You were warned to stay away from her,” Kain said, his voice a low, seismic rumble that vibrated through the floorboards.
Jase swallowed hard, desperately trying to scrape together his fractured Alpha pride. “This is a public place, Blackwell. You don’t own the street p>
“Actually, he owns the building p>
A smooth, detached voice echoed from the entrance. Liam Craig, Kain’s lead attorney, stepped into the boutique like a well-dressed phantom. He walked straight to the terrified store manager and handed him a crisp legal document.
“Harry Winston’s parent company is a primary asset in the Blackstone Empire’s portfolio,” Liam stated calmly, adjusting his glasses. “You have a choice to make, right now. You can immediately expel these hostile threats from the premises, or you will be terminated on the spot for failing to provide a safe environment for the property’s owner p>
The manager’s face drained of all color. He looked at the document, then at Kain’s murderous eyes. Survival instinct kicked in instantly. “Security!” the manager squeaked, pointing a trembling finger at Jase and Kira. “Get them out. Now p>

The words sliced through my chest like a silver blade. My breath hitched, the old, familiar poison of my insecurities flooding my veins.
A guttural, beastly roar ripped through the boutique. Kain had heard him. Kain lunged forward, his fangs descending as his Lycan demanded blood for the insult. Jase’s Inner Wolf screamed in absolute panic, and the two Blackstone Warriors immediately shoved Jase and Kira out through the doors, dragging them onto the street before Kain could tear Jase’s head from his shoulders.
The boutique fell into a dead, ringing silence.
The manager wiped sweat from his brow and offered Kain a sickeningly sycophantic smile. “Mr. Blackwell, I am so deeply sorry for the misunderstanding. Please, let me make it up to p>
Kain didn’t even look at him. He turned his cold gaze to Liam. “Notify the CEO. He is fired. And have our financial team review all lease agreements with this brand p>
The manager gasped, his career executed in a single breath.
“Kain,” I whispered, my voice trembling as the adrenaline began to crash. “You didn’t have to do that p>
Kain turned to me, the lethal darkness in his eyes softening just a fraction, though his jaw remained tight. “They disrespected my Luna. It was necessary p>
