Chapter 245: Expecting You

Chapter 245

~Snow’s POV~

The building stood out in the moonlight ahead of us. Its architecture was eerily similar to the warehouse where I had ended Marcus. But this one was more sinister—like it was meant to unnerve me.

Before Zade and I approached the gate, we decided on letting just one person—me—go in alone. Just to be safe and have a backup in case things get too tricky.

However, as I approached the gates, two men guarded the gate with bored expressions, and before I spoke, one of the men straightened up and stated flatly. "The boss is expecting you two. Ask your partner to come with."

Turning to my side, I gave Zde my signal. Knowing how sharp his senses was, I was sure he had heard all they said.

And in no time, Zade walked into our line of sight.

Zade and I walked in silence over to the gate. As we approached, they stepped aside, their movements almost synchronised.

"The boss has been expecting you," one of them said, his tone flat. "There’s no need for violence... yet."

I exchanged a wary glance with Zade, who gave a curt nod. Without a word, we stepped inside.

We were led through the dimly lit building, the silence amplifying every creak of the floorboards and rustle of movement above.

The corridor stretched endlessly. Finally, we reached a staircase leading to the top floor, and our escort gestured for us to ascend.

At the top, a single hallway greeted us, its walls lined with flickering lights that cast unsettling shadows. At the end of the corridor was a door, slightly ajar, revealing a poorly lit room beyond.

As soon as we entered, a sharp whine escaped Zara’s lips. My heart lurched at the sound. She was here.

"Zara!" I started forward upon Glacier’s growl, ready to attack.

"Stop."

The bone-chilling voice cut through the air, freezing me in my tracks. My gaze snapped to the shadows where a figure lurked behind Zara.

The light filtering into the room barely illuminated his face, but his clawed hand was unmistakable as it wrapped around Zara’s neck. She flinched, her tear-streaked face twisted in pain.

"Marcus," Zade growled, his voice dripping with venom. "Step out of the shadows and face us like a man."

A deep, eerie laughter filled the room, echoing off the walls and sending a shiver down my spine. I was a bit scared for Zara’s sake. She was literally in his claws.

Slowly, the man moved forward and snapped his fingers. Immediately the light came on. His smirk was as chilling as his laugh, his features sharp and cruel.

Immediately after it happened, Zade stiffened beside me. "It is him," he muttered.

I knew what he meant. I had killed him not to mistake him for anyone. This right here was Marcus Deveraeux.

But the man lifted his free hand, stopping us in our tracks. "How does it feel to be completely wrong, Alpha Snow, Alpha Zade?" he sneered.
