Jett’s POV:
The moment I caught that faint smile on Kade’s face, I knew the Soren main family was in serious trouble.
They had been betting everything on that piece of land. From what I knew, they had even put a highly profitable project on hold just to secure it. If they failed now, the losses wouldn’t just sting, they would gut them for the entire year.
Still, that had nothing to do with us. If they couldn’t pull it off, it only meant they weren’t strong enough.
“Mr. Howell, I’ll take care of it right away,” I said without hesitation. I had never shown mercy to anyone who tried to set him up, and I wasn’t about to start now.
Just as I turned to leave, something occurred to me. I stopped and added, “Mr. Howell, there’s one more thing. Nira’s mother caused a scene outside earlier. She was getting out of control, so I knocked her unconscious.”
That woman had come prepared, bringing reporters with her. It was obvious she had intended to stir things up and damage Kade’s reputation, so I hadn’t held back.
Kade’s POV:
I had never liked anyone from the Soren family. Even if Jett had shifted and torn her apart on the spot, I wouldn’t have blamed him.

Jett handled things cleanly as always, leaving immediately.

“Yeah.” I paus
I briefly before deciding to tell her. “Your mother showed up with a group of reporters and demanded to see you.
Jett knocked her out.”
Nira froze for a moment, clearly taking a second to realize I was talking about Jenna.
“She came looking for me, with reporters?” she said, letting out a cold, mocking laugh. “What a great mother.”
I watched her carefully, a familiar weight settling in my chest.
I knew exactly what it felt like to be treated like that by your own family.
“The Soren family doesn’t deserve you,” I said.
She looked at me, slightly surprised, then gave a small, indifferent smile. “They can’t hurt me anymore.”
That wasn’t true. No one walked away from something like that without scars, she had just learned to pretend it didn’t affect her.

She carried herself as if nothing could touch her, like she had built walls no one could ever break through, but she shouldn’t have needed those walls in the first place.
She didn’t even have a wolf yet. She should have been living a carefree life, protected and loved by her parents. Instead, the Soren family had forced her into becoming someone like this.
Before I could say anything else, she suddenly stood up and stretched, yawning as if none of it mattered.
