Chapter 169

~Zara’s POV~

The car stopped in front of my childhood home. As I stepped out, memories of my upbringing flooded back—the laughter, the scoldings, the quiet nights staring at the stars from the porch.

But today, the weight of the truth I was determined to uncover made the air feel heavier.

Snow was by my side in an instant, while Zade adjusted his jacket, his usual air of authority radiating from him.

"Ready?" Snow asked softly.

I nodded, though my nerves were anything but settled.

The front door swung open before we could even knock. My brother Elias stood there, his expression neutral but his sharp eyes scanning the three of us. "Zara," he greeted, his tone unusually serious. "Mom and Dad are waiting inside."

He stepped aside, his gaze lingering on Snow for a moment longer than necessary before greeting. "Alpha Snow, nice to finally make your acquaintance."

Snow nodded. "Likewise."

Turning to Zade, my brother greeted as well. "Welcome."

We entered the house, and my parents rose to their feet immediately. Liam, my father, offered a warm smile, but Selene, my mother, looked more cautious.

"Zara," Dad said, pulling me into a quick embrace. "You look well."

"Thank you, Dad," I replied, my voice wavering slightly as I stepped back.

Their eyes moved past me, landing on Snow. Both my parents stiffened, their expressions shifting to something akin to awe.

"Alpha Snow Zephyr," my father said, inclining his head respectfully. "Welcome to our home."

Snow gave a polite nod but said nothing. His blue eyes swept over the room, taking in every detail like the Alpha he was.

"And who do we have here?" my mother asked, her eyes settling on Zade before glancing at my father. I could mistake the awe in their eyes.

The reaction was immediate. Both my parents paled slightly before quickly composing themselves.

Good, they knew him.

Before I could respond, Zade stepped forward, exuding an aura of authority that was impossible to ignore. "I am Zade..."

"Alpha Zade of the Golden Claw Pack," my mother interjected.

"It is an honor, Alpha Zade," my father said, bowing his head. "Your reputation precedes you."

Mother nodded, her voice softer than usual. "The Golden Claw Pack has risen to prominence in recent years. Most who knew the pack before would recognize its strength now."

I stared at my parents in disbelief. "You know about the Golden Claw Pack?"

"Of course," Dad replied, his gaze shifting back to Zade. "We’ve heard stories, and you—" he paused, studying Zade intently. "You are the spitting image of your father."
