Chapter 244

~Snow’s POV~

It was foolish to call Golden God in the first place. I should’ve known better than to expect anything from that sloth.

The engine roared to life, and I shifted into gear, ready to speed off. But just as I was about to hit the gas, headlights appeared in my rearview mirror. I narrowed my eyes, watching the vehicle approach.

When the car came to a stop beside mine, I recognized it immediately. Zade.

Finally.

Rolling down the window, I tapped the steering wheel impatiently as he parked next to me.

Zade’s window slid down, and his face was a mix of irritation and resolve. "You were going to disobey a direct order," he said flatly.

I chuckled, shaking my head. "It would be disobeying if I were under your command, Alpha Zade. But as you know, I’m an alpha myself. Alpha of the strongest pack doesn’t do that. Taking orders has never been my strong suit."

I facepalmed internally. Knowing that had the Golden Claw Pack not met with such disaster twenty years ago, they’d probably still be the strongest pack. But I needed to irk him a little, to let him know I was also in control of the situation and Zara meant my world.

"Tsk," Zade scoffed. "When Zara is concerned, your egoistic brain better learn to listen to take orders."

I smirked. "Why don’t you take that commanding tone and use it on Golden God?"

His expression darkened. "What does he have to do with this?"

"I called him," I said with a shrug. "Figured he could help while I was waiting for you. But that lazy bastard refused."

"You did what? You know as lazy as he can be, he could be reckless if angered."

"At least he never gets caught. He can extract her while I wait and then we attack those bastards but yeah, wrong move. The sloth refused to help." Zade sighed and my grip tightened on the wheel. "No point wasting more time."

"Snow—"

I didn’t wait for him to finish. My foot pressed down on the accelerator, and the car surged forward, leaving Zade’s protests behind me.

Zara was out there. And I wasn’t going to sit still any longer.

~Kaid’s POV~

Siona’s words replayed in my mind like a drumbeat as I strode through the hallway leading to my control room. Zara was in danger, and every second wasted felt like a lifetime. I didn’t have the luxury to hesitate or overthink—I had to act.

"It has begun. Zia Gold has been captured."

My chest tightened, and my wolf growled with restless urgency. Zara wasn’t just anyone; she was mine, and nothing in this world would stop me from bringing her back.

"Richard," I barked through the mind link. "Meet me at the rooftop chopper. We’re going now."

Richard’s response was sluggish, a hint of irritation colouring his tone. "Kaid, what’s going on? Who—"

"No time for explanations. We are going to get back my bride-to-be," I interrupted.

There was a pause before Richard responded; his tone was much sharper now. "I’ll be there. Give me a moment."

Suddenly, his voice broke through, calm and collected as if he hadn’t been ignoring me. "Kaid."

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" My voice thundered through the link, fury lacing every syllable.

"Making preparations," he replied smoothly, unfazed by my tone. "I’ve organized a team of warriors. They’re ready to move."

"We don’t need them," I snapped. "I don’t have time to coordinate a unit. All I need is you by my side, Richard. I can handle the rest."

There was a pause, and then his voice returned, tinged with mild amusement. "While I admire your confidence in my skills, Kaid, there’s a bit more to this than—"
