Chapter 420

~Zara’s POV~

The room fell into a suffocating silence.

Kaid’s expression was tight, his fists clenched as he processed what Siona had just revealed. The Dragon’s Golden Scale.

The words alone sent a chill down my spine. It wasn’t just rare—it was nearly impossible to obtain.

Dragons were not creatures to be trifled with. They isolated themselves from the world, keeping their power hidden. Their golden scales, located close to the neck or head, were the source of their immense strength. To lose one was akin to losing a part of their very essence.

They would kill before they let that happen.

Even worse, the higher the dragon’s rank, the more powerful the magic their scale could fuel—which meant the more dangerous it was to take.

A relic. A legend. A death sentence. That was what Siona was asking us to retrieve. While I wouldn’t mind doing that, Kaid on the other hand seemed to be an issue.

Kaid finally shook his head. "No."

"Kaid," I called out, my voice soft but pleading. He shook his head.

"There has to be another way." His jaw tightened, his golden eyes burning with frustration. "If you want to save your ex, think of something else."

I swallowed the sharp pain in my chest. There was no other way.

"Have you forgotten why no one is in league with dragons?"

"No one is in league with them. We just..."

"You want to steal their most prized possession, right? No. Hell no. It is too dangerous, even for you, Zara."

"But with you..."

"No." Kaid exhaled roughly and glanced around. His gaze landed on Snow’s still body before flicking back to me. "Where is the witch who tried to kill you, Zara?"

I blinked, momentarily thrown off by the question. For a second, I hesitated before the memories came rushing back. Vera.

Earlier, when Siona and I had been talking, one of Snow’s warriors had burst into my apartment. He barely knocked before stepping in, and when he saw the scene—Snow lifeless in my arms, my body trembling from exhaustion and grief—his first instinct had been to accuse me.

But before he could, Siona stopped him.

"Your Alpha sacrificed himself for her," she had said firmly. "If you doubt it, see the blood on his hands. It was his choice."

The warrior had hesitated, unsure.

"What are you doing here?" I had asked. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

"Alpha Snow was worried and asked that I check if you were home."

I had looked him straight in the eye and gave him only one command.

"Take Vera’s body and burn it. Make sure she is truly dead. I don’t want to see this witch anywhere near us."

He had nodded without question and left.

Now, standing here with Kaid, I snapped back to the present.

"She’s dead," I said flatly. "I killed her."

Kaid’s gaze lingered on me for a moment, as if assessing whether I was lying. Then, with a slow nod, he exhaled.

Siona took a step forward, her robes shifting like liquid silver. "Your help, Great Lycan King, is needed. The dragon scale exists, and I can tell you where to find it." She turned her piercing golden gaze on him. "All I ask of you is to ensure Zara’s safety."
