Chapter 241

~Snow’s POV~

I sat facing my laptop screen in my study. This place had become my second bestfriend after Glacier, since I began looking deeply into this Marcus issue.

My fingers danced over the keyboard as I pieced together the fragments of information. The data files Dare Devil and Jupiter had sent were meticulous, yet they felt like the work of a phantom—someone trying too hard to remain invisible.

My frustration was obvious but for Zara’s sake, I was trying. For hours, I combed through every detail, and just when I thought I’d hit another dead end, something clicked.

I froze, rereading the lines on the screen.

"This Marcus Devereaux is a stunt double!" I exclaimed, my voice loud in the silence. The realization hit like a lightning strike. I threw my fists in the air in triumph, feeling the tension in my shoulders ease momentarily.

"Yes! That’s it!" I leaned back in my chair, my heart racing with the thrill of discovery. But as quickly as the elation came, doubt crept in.

"Wait," I muttered to myself, rubbing my chin. "What if the Marcus I killed was the double? No, that doesn’t make sense." I shook my head firmly. "I know what I saw. That Marcus had the same energy, the same aura as the one I confronted at the dinner. The real Marcus wouldn’t risk such an obvious fake unless..."

Unless he had something even more sinister up his sleeve.

"This dubious mongrel," I growled, my fists clenching. "He was a fake. But not anymore."

Grabbing my phone, I dialed Dare Devil’s number. He picked up almost instantly.

"Snow?"

"I’ve figured it out," I said, pacing the room now, the adrenaline coursing through me. "The Marcus we’ve been chasing—he’s a stunt double. The real one is still out there. I don’t know how I didn’t see it sooner, but I’m certain now."

There was a pause, then Dare Devil let out a low whistle. "A stunt double? That explains a lot. What’s the plan?"

"We find this double. If the real work is still alive, then we need to lure him out," I said firmly. "We interrogate him, and we end this once and for all."

"On it," Dare Devil replied. "I’ll start pulling threads and see what I can find."

As soon as the call ended, I dialed Jupiter’s line. He picked up on the second ring.

"Snow," he said, brisk.

"Jupiter, it’s confirmed. The Marcus I killed was a double. The real one is still alive, and it’s time we smoked him out."

"That’s what I’m talking about, Snow. You did a good job. Let’s locate the double."

"Sure. He won’t see us coming."

Jupiter grunted in agreement. "Understood. I’ll start compiling the last-known connections and send them your way."

"Good." I allowed myself a brief smile. "Once we handle this, it’s over."

Jupiter hesitated before asking, "And Zara? How’s she doing? How is she taking the news? Wait... Have you informed her yet?"

I leaned back against my desk, my thoughts briefly shifting to her. "She’s at the pack house for the Ivory Crescent event. I was planning to visit her later and share the good news myself."

"She’ll want to hear it," Jupiter said. "She’s been through enough lately."

"That’s why I want to see her and tell her. Hat we have found arcus Devareaux."

"Okay. You rplan it is."

"I have something of yours, Alpha Snow. Your precious wife is with me."
