Chapter 260

~Snow’s POV~

I snorted, though the question stung. "I’ve got it under control, Mother. As long as the Lycan King doesn’t test my patience, I’ll keep it that way."

Her sigh of relief was faint but noticeable. "Good. I’ll handle the pageant in Zara’s stead. The council will understand, considering what she’s been through. Please, give her my regards."

"She’ll appreciate that," I said, glancing at Zara. "Aira’s worried too, by the way. She asked Zara to reach out when she’s feeling better."

"I’ll let her know," I promised.

"Alright," Luna Star said, her tone regaining its usual commanding edge. "Be careful, Snow. And don’t do anything rash."

"I won’t," I said, though I wasn’t sure how much comfort that would bring her.

The call ended, and I exhaled heavily, setting the phone down.

"Oh, shit," Zara muttered, breaking the silence. She leaned back on her palms, a look of mild horror on her face. "I completely forgot about the pageant."

I shrugged, giving her a small, reassuring smile. "It’s expected, especially after everything that happened."

She groaned, burying her face in her hands. "Your mom’s going to think I’m the most irresponsible Luna ever."

"Hardly," I said dryly. "She’s more worried about you than anything else."

Zara lowered her hands, her eyes searching mine. "Did you tell her everything?"

"Only the essentials," I said. "No need to drag her into the rest of it. She’ll handle the event in your place, so you don’t need to worry about that."

Zara nodded slowly, her expression still troubled.

"And speaking of handling things," I added, straightening. "I’m going to contact Dare Devil to dig up information on Ivan and Melvin. We need to know what they’re planning—or if they have anyone else working with them." _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

Zara’s brows lifted. "Dare Devil?"

"Yes," I said without hesitation. "If anyone can get us the information we need, it’s him."

She sighed, brushing a hand through her hair. "Fine. But promise me you won’t go charging into anything without a plan."

"Always," I said, though the smirk I gave her probably didn’t inspire much confidence.

Zara rolled her eyes, but the hint of a smile tugged at her lips. "You’re impossible."

"And you love it," I teased, earning a soft laugh from her.

Zara’s POV

The moment Snow ended his call with his mother, my phone buzzed silently on the nightstand. I glanced at it, noting the missed call from my mom, but before I could pick it up to return her call, a knock sounded at the door.
