Chapter 154

~Zara’s POV~

Andrew took a step back, muttering under his breath. "I’ll just... leave you two to it."

My mind raced as I stared at Zade, my breath catching. Whatever he was about to say, I knew it was going to change everything.

His words hung heavy in the air, suffocating the tension between us.

"What do you mean, something I need to know?" I asked cautiously, keeping my voice low. The storm of emotions from the pictures, Snow’s betrayal, and now this new twist left me shaken.

Zade looked at me. His eyes were filled with sadness and soemthing else, soemthing hard. "You’re my sister, Zara. You’re my lost sister."

I blinked at him, then let out a small laugh—one that sounded hollow even to my own ears. "What kind of joke is this?" I said, my voice trembling despite my attempt to stay composed.

"It’s not a joke," Zade replied, his tone steady but laced with pain.

"Stop." I shook my head as a bitter chuckle escaped me. "This isn’t funny, Zade. I have a family. A dad, a mum, and a brother. I know my family. Sorry, but your joke’s expensive—we’re not related."

Zade’s lips twisted into a bitter smile as he lowered his gaze for a moment. When he met my eyes again, they held a haunting seriousness that made my pulse quicken.

"Do you remember the story I told you?" he asked softly. "About the treehouse, the folklore... Golden Claw Pack?"

A shiver ran down my spine as the memory surfaced. Especially the one at the tree house and the memory I saw.

I wasn’t seeing things then, was I? I nodded hesitantly. "Yes, but... what does that have to do with—"

"It wasn’t just a story," Zade said, his voice growing more certain with each word. "It was my story. Our story."

I froze, my mind racing to catch up with what he was saying. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Zara," Zade began, taking a deep breath as if steeling himself, "you were kidnapped as a child. During the attack on our pack."

"What?" My voice cracked, the single word a mix of disbelief and fear.

"You were barely five," he continued, his tone softening as if the memory pained him. "The Golden Claw Pack was one of the strongest packs back then, if not the strongest twenty years ago. But we were attacked—ambushed by our enemies."

Zade paused, his gaze focused on something in the sky, something I was sure wasn’t there.

"That night, amidst the chaos, you were taken by the Gamma’s wife. She had been a spy for our enemies but you were one of her favourites. Cory believed she could save you from the carnage by running with you, but something went wrong."
