Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: Defeated Chapter 105: Defeated ************** CHAPTER 105 ~ Zara’s POV~ I watch everything that happened in sheer horror I watched the chaos unfold around me, my heart pounding like a wild animal trapped in my chest.  Snow and Marcus moved like shadows, fists flying in brutal exchange.

Every blow Snow took drove a new spike of fear through me, but he kept going, barely faltering.

Each punch met with Marcus’s own ruthless strength.

The air was filled with tension, and the two of them were locked in a battle that felt endless.

Blood streaked down Snow’s face as he took a hard hit to the jaw, and I flinched, gripping the sides of the chair so tightly my knuckles turned white.  I wanted to cry out, to tell him to stop, to leave before it was too late-but the raw, savage look in his eyes told me that nothing could pull him away now.

My heart stopped when, in one final surge, I saw him twist Marcus’s arm behind his back, his movements quick and merciless.  The glint of fury and satisfaction in his eyes was terrifyingly beautiful.

He picked the silver chains used to tie me, ignoring the searing pain and burning of flesh as he struck it at Marcus before releasing it.

And then, with a growl that shook me to my core, Snow drove his hand through Marcus’s chest, crushing his heart in one brutal motion.

I gasped, feeling both awe and fear swirl within me as I tried to process what I’d just seen.  Snow’s silhouette against the cold, dim light seemed larger and more powerful than I’d ever realized.  He turned to me, his gaze softening just for a moment, but even then, I couldn’t shake the image of him covered in Marcus’s blood, ruthlessly and unbreakable.

Before I could react, I felt someone’s arms slip beneath me, lifting me up.

I tensed, barely suppressing a wince as pain shot through my side.  I glanced up at my rescuer-a stranger, his face calm and composed, yet his aura was just as intense as Snow’s.

I didn’t recognize him, but he moved with an assurance that made me relax.

He sensed my hesitation and murmured in a low voice, “I’m Dare Devil, here on Snow’s orders.” His tone held no warmth, but his grip was careful, ensuring I wouldn’t fall.

As I nodded, my gaze drifted back to Snow, who was standing among the carnage, his expression unyielding.

He met my eyes briefly, giving Dare Devil a silent nod.

“Get her home,” he ordered calmly, his voice too steady and controlled.

We left, but the sounds that followed were nothing short of chilling.

The snap of bones breaking, screams cut short, and growls of agony echoed through the warehouse.

Dare Devil quickened his pace, but even as we reached the entrance, the brutal sounds continued.  I didn’t have to see it to know-Snow had given himself over fully to Glacier, unleashing the deadly strength that lay within him.

As the sunlight hit us, I felt myself drifting, the exhaustion finally taking over.

Everything went hazy, and I could feel my grip loosening.

The last thing I saw before darkness claimed me was Dare Devil’s steady, composed face above mine.

************** When I awoke, the evening light was casting soft shadows across my room.

My head felt heavy, and every inch of my body ached, but I was safe.  Glancing around, I noticed a familiar silhouette beside my bed.

Snow was sitting there, his head resting against the edge of the bed, his breathing slow and even.

I lay still, watching him while a strange warmth filled my chest.

He was here, and somehow, that fact alone made everything that had happened feel distant and less painful.  He had changed into a clean outfit, the soft blue pants and black t-shirt looking casual but fitting his form perfectly.

Yet, the faint scent of blood still clung to him, mingling with the familiar warmth of his presence.

I reached out, my hand hovering above his head, a smile tugging at my lips.

Just as I was about to touch his hair, his voice rang out with amusement, startling me.

“Are you done admiring me?” I jumped slightly, my hand snapping back as he looked up, one brow arched.

His eyes gleamed with that familiar, infuriating smirk.

I rolled my eyes, scoffing, but a smile broke through my irritation.

“Admiring?

Don’t flatter yourself,” I muttered, but the amusement in my voice betrayed me.

Snow’s lips curved into a faint smile, his gaze softening.

“I didn’t realize the sight of me sleeping was that fascinating.” “Well, it’s not like you left me a lot of other options,” I replied, leaning back against the pillows, suddenly aware of how exposed I felt under his steady gaze.

“So, are you just here to enjoy the view?” “Partially,” he admitted with a hint of laughter in his voice.

“But I figured you might want to wake up to something familiar.” He paused, his expression turning serious.

“I’m glad you’re safe.” My heart skipped at his words, the sincerity in his tone catching me off guard.

I searched his face, unsure of what to say.

Finally, I settled on, “Thank you€¦ for coming for me.” Snow’s gaze held mine.

“There was never a moment when I wouldn’t.” A comfortable silence settled between us, but I could sense the tension lingering in his posture, the fierce protectiveness that hadn’t quite faded.

“Snow€¦” I started, unsure how to phrase the question swirling in my mind.

“Why did you go that far for me?

I mean, we’ve barely known each other, and yet-” “Because you’re mine, Zara,” he interrupted.

His voice was calm but laced with a finality that left no room for doubt.

He reached over, gently taking my hand.

“And no one gets to lay a hand on what’s mine.” My heart hammered in my chest, a confusing mix of emotions swirling through me.

The possessiveness in his words should have felt stifling, but instead, it grounded me, making me feel€¦ cherished in a way I hadn’t expected.

He gave my hand a reassuring squeeze, his fingers warm against mine.

“Rest now,” he murmured, his voice softer than I’d ever heard it.

“I’ll be here if you need anything.” For the first time in a long while, I felt the weight of my worries lift, if only slightly.

As I settled back into the bed, I allowed myself to relax, my eyes drifting shut as the sound of his steady breathing lulled me into sleep.
