Chapter 243

~Snow’s POV~

"I’m not charging in blind," I argued, keeping my voice firm. What were they thinking? That I didn’t love Zara enough to think things through? "I’ve already had someone trace the IP address from the message."

"Of course, you did," Zade said, his tone dripping with frustration. "You think someone who’s been in hiding this long will suddenly slip up and let you trace their location? It’s a trap, Snow!"

I tightened my grip on the wheel, the realisation gnawing at the edges of my mind. I was so angry and in a hurry to save Zara that I didn’t think this through.

"It doesn’t matter. I can’t sit back and do nothing. Zara’s out there, and she needs me."

"And you think running headfirst into a trap is going to help her?" Zade growled. "Listen to yourself! If you’re captured—or worse—then who’s going to save her?"

"I’ve got this," I shot back. "I don’t need your approval."

"This isn’t about approval, Snow!" Zade roared, his voice crackling through the line with raw emotion. "This is about my sister—my family! You might be her husband, but you don’t get to make reckless decisions with her life on the line."

His words struck me deeply, yet I stood by my decision. "I know what I’m doing."

"No, you don’t," Zade countered coldly. "If you did, you’d realize that walking into this alone is exactly what they want. You think Zara would want you to gamble her life and yours just because your ego won’t let you wait for backup?"

"I—"

"You’ll do as I say," Zade interrupted, his tone brooking no argument. "Stand down and wait for me. I’m on my way to meet you. Tell me where you are."

I hesitated, my mind warring between my need to act and the logic in his words.

"Snow," Zade’s voice softened, but the steel remained. "She’s more important than your pride. You know that."

He was speaking the truth. I tightened my jaw and exhaled heavily. "Fine," I groaned out. "But if you’re not here soon—"

"I’ll be there," Zade interrupted. "And Snow, don’t you dare make a move without me. We’ll get her back. Together."

The line went dead, leaving me in silence save for the rumble of the engine and the pounding of my heart.

I eased my foot off the gas slightly, my mind racing as I replayed the call.

"Zara, hold on, please."

For now, I would wait. But the moment Zade arrived, whoever had taken Zara would learn the cost of their mistake. And I would make sure they paid in full.

"Yeah but for now, what do we do? How about still driving and letting Zade catch up? I mean, it beats waiting out there on the road."

Glacier was right. We could also play Zade but that was dangerous. Should the enemy be alerted of my presence, Zara could be in danger.

So, I did the only thing I was sure would be best.

Taking my phone, I searched through my contact list for one name. Someone outside the trio I could trust. But someone no one wants to disturb because of how grumpy he was.
