Chapter 267

~Zara’s POV~

After Delia’s experience, Snow and I began speaking this way whenever we needed to discuss something important.

I was still in their territory and as such, needed to be careful.

"Kaid has resources we can’t afford to ignore. And besides, I don’t think he’ll betray us. Not yet."

Snow tilted his head, his expression softening just a fraction as we stopped walking. "You’re sure about that?"

"Call it a gut feeling," I said with a shrug. "He’s too invested in keeping us close. And if he thinks there’s even a chance of earning my favour, he won’t risk jeopardizing that."

Snow let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. "You’re something else, you know that?"

"I’ll take that as a compliment," I said, grinning despite the seriousness of the conversation.

He leaned to the side again, his voice dropping to a more serious tone. "Alright. Let’s play it your way. But the moment Kaid steps out of line—"

"We deal with him," I finished for him, my smile fading as my resolve hardened. "No hesitation."

Snow nodded, a silent agreement passing between us.

We arrived at our room to find that our things had been packed even though we barely brought anything ourselves. All the clothes we used there were neatly packed with a few others Kaid had bought for us to choose from.

"Well, it’s goodbye palace."

I smiled softly. "Do you think he’ll take the bait?" Snow asked after a moment.

I considered the question carefully before answering. "Kaid’s pride is his greatest weakness—and his greatest strength. He won’t back down from an opportunity to prove himself. If we position ourselves as the key to his success, he won’t be able to resist."

Snow hummed in agreement, though his skepticism lingered. "Just don’t let him get too close, Zara. His interest in you isn’t exactly subtle."

I rolled my eyes, though a flicker of unease stirred in my chest. "I can handle Kaid, Snow. Trust me."

"I do," he said simply. "Let’s go, love."

Before we left the palace, Kaid came before us and ordered his beta, Richard, to take us to the helicopter and back home.

"Thank you once more," Snow and I gave our appreciation and Kaid was very mature about it.

By the time we arrived back at the werewolf’s territory, at the field of Snow’s estate, a car was waiting to take us back home.

But after dropping them off, I headed straight for Ella’s.

On my way through, a call came into my phone. I glanced at the screen to see my mother’s name.

And by mother, I meant Zaria, my real Mum. The honest truth is, I hadn’t seen or heard from my family in a while, since that day when I confronted them.

A lot of things made sense after I found out the truth. The reason why Elias was so favoured over me. I always thought it was due to his position as my father’s heir but I was wrong.

Her voice sharpened. "Don’t do anything rash? Zia, my child, Ivan has dared to harm you twice! That bastard and his accomplice need to be dealt with. I’ll call Alpha Storm myself and demand he keeps that wretched grandson of his in line before I deliver his head on a silver platter to him and Ivan’s father!"
