Chapter 140

~Alpha Storm’s POV~

As I placed the receiver down, I leaned back in my chair. Snow was as stubborn as ever, but there was a conviction in his voice that I hadn’t heard in a long time.

"Zara," I muttered to myself as the name lingered on my tongue.

I didn’t know the woman well, but from what little I’d seen and heard, she was sharp and capable. But would that be enough?

My wife, Luna Star, stepped into the room, her elegant presence filling the space. "He said no, didn’t he?"

"He did," I confirmed, glancing at her. "Stubborn as ever."

She smiled faintly, sitting across from me. "That’s our boy. But maybe he’s onto something."

I raised an eyebrow. "You think Zara could be Luna?"

"She’s proven herself resilient, hasn’t she?" Star replied. "She’s handled Snow, and that alone is a feat."

I chuckled despite myself. "True. But the pack won’t accept her easily. You know how tradition runs deep."

"Tradition isn’t everything," she said firmly. "If Zara’s the one who makes him happy, then perhaps it’s time we adapt."

I found myself nodding slowly. "Perhaps."

~Snow’s POV~

I leaned against the window, the city lights casting a faint glow across the room. My thoughts churned as I replayed the conversation with my father.

Zara.

She was everything I didn’t know I needed, and while I hadn’t planned for this marriage to mean anything, it was becoming harder to deny what I felt.

My phone buzzed on the desk, snapping me out of my thoughts. It was a message from Zara: "Meeting with Taylor went well. Anything else you need me to handle?"

I smiled faintly, typing back, "No. Come back to the office when you’re done. We’ll discuss the next steps."

As I set the phone down, I couldn’t help but wonder what Zara would think if she knew how much she’d come to mean to me.

But for now, there was work to be done.

Just as I reopened my laptop, a thought crossed my mind. Immediately I went to my email and typed the name Jupiter in it.

The sent mail opened and I scanned through the details.

Finally, my eyes landed on the attached files and downloaded them before opening them. I realised that the one person I needed now the most was Jupiter, especially with this new threat and Zara.

I was losing it. I was already falling and he warned me.

I clicked on the attached files, and the details laid out on my screen like pieces of a puzzle waiting to be solved. The name Marcus Devereaux stared back at me, an unwelcome ghost from my past.

"There’s been a breach at my company," I began, "sensitive designs leaked. The name Marcus Devereaux has surfaced in connection to it."
