Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 158
Chapter 158: Treated Chapter 158: Treated ************** CHAPTER 158 ~Snow’s POV~ I didn’t think.
There was no time to process what had just happened.
The only thing that mattered was Zara.
She lay limp in my arms, blood seeping from a wound on her temple and staining her shirt.
My heart thundered in my chest, a mix of fear and anger tightening its grip. Glacier raged inside me, ready to tear apart anyone who dared harm her.
“Stay with me,” I whispered, clutching her tightly as I hurried into the mansion.
“Please, Zara, stay with me.” Scott met me at the door, his face pale as he took in the scene.
“Sir, what-?” “No questions,” I barked.
“Call Dr.
Vaughn.
Tell him to get here immediately.
Zara needs him.” Scott nodded, his professionalism taking over as he rushed to make the call.
I carried Zara upstairs, laying her gently on the bed in my room.
Her breathing was shallow, her face pale, and the sight of her blood on my hands made my stomach churn.
“Damn it, Zara,” I muttered, brushing a strand of hair from her face.
“Why does trouble always find you?” I couldn’t stand still.
I paced the room, my mind racing.
The explosion was no accident-it was deliberate, calculated.
Someone had targeted me, and in doing so, they’d endangered Zara.
I pulled out my phone, dialing the only people I trusted to handle this.
“Jupiter,” I said when the line connected.
“Snow,” his deep voice came through.
“You’re back early.
How did things go?
Not to your liking or..” “Spare me the pleasantries,” I snapped.
“There was an explosion-my car and Zara’s hurt.
I need you andto find out who’s behind this.
Now.” There was a brief pause, and then his tone turned serious.
“I’m on it.
Stay with her.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
I’ll update you as soon as I know anything.” “Good,” I said coldly.
“And Jupiter?
Whoever did this…
I want them found.” “Understood.” I ended the call, my grip tightening on the phone as I turned back to Zara.
Her face was peaceful despite the circumstances, her chest rising and falling steadily.
Immediately I dailed Dare Devil’s number.
I could not afford any slip ups.
I needed tracking.
I want all my movements rechecked and I want everything happening within te last 72 hours properly checked. He picked the call, his tone cgruff as though he was just waking from a nap but that di dnot bother me.
I did not care and immediately dished out my orders.
“An explosion.” At the sound of that, I felt the shift inhis tone.
“What do you need me to do?” “Get me the culprit.
I want everything traced back to 3 days ago before my trip.” “On it.
I hope there was no casualties.
How is Zara?” I bit back the uirge to scream and answered.
“Hurt.
They should pay.” Dare Devil did not diss my words.
Instead he was okay with them and nodded. A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts.
“Dr.
Vaughn is here, sir,” Scott announced.
“Bring him in.” Dr.
Vaughn entered, his bag in hand.
Immediately our eyes locked, his shoulder slouched and he shook his head before adjusting his glasses. “What have you done this time, little bro?” I restrained myself from lashing out at him fro calling me that.
“How about getting to work, Xander.” Xander chuckled and immediately moved to Zara’s side.
“As grumpy as ever.
I wonder how you landed yourself this hottie.” He smirked as he got his equipment out fo his briefcase and immediately examined Zara efficienctly, his brow furrowing as he assessed her condition.
“She has a mild concussion,” he said after a few moments.
“The bleeding isn’t severe, but she’ll need stitches for the wound.
I’ll take care of it.” “She’s a werewolf.
Healing is normal but I don’t know why she isn’t healing now.” “She’s unconscious.
It happens to the best of us.
Once she regains consciousness, I bet you her recovery will be speedy.” Snow narrowed his eyes as Zara for a moment before nodding.
“Do whatever you need to,” I said, my voice firm.
“Just make sure she’s okay.” Xander nodded and began his work, his movements precise and confident.
“She’s an alpha.
You have nothing to worry about SNow.
Just relax.” “I will only relax and calm down when she opens her eyes and I know she is okay, Xander.
Until then, I suggest you focus and get to work, cousin!” “Smiles.
All I want is for you to relax and take a chill pill.
I do not need negative or angry energy near my patients.” I held back my retort and stood by, watching helplessly until my phone buzzed again.
It was Zade’s number.
“Zade?” I answered.
“How is she?” His voice was tight and filled with concern.
“Dr.
Vaughn’s with her now.
She’ll be fine.” There was a pause before he spoke again, his tone deadly.
“My mother called.
She’s asking about Zara.” “What did you tell her?” “That something dangerous happened, and Zara’s out cold but safe.
She’s worried, Snow.
I promised to bring Zara to her when this is over.” “Then we end this quickly,” I said, my voice cold.
“And whoever’s responsible pays.” “They will,” Zade growled.
“I’ll make sure of it.
I am on my way to one of my biggest networks to handle thinsg myself but they already have eyes on your perimeter and footages.
We shall find the culprit.” The line went dead, leaving me in silence once more.
Xander finished stitching Zara’s wound and turned to me.
“She’ll need rest and monitoring for the next 24 hours.
Keep an eye on her for any signs of worsening symptoms-nausea, confusion, changes in consciousness.” “Thank you,” I said, my gratitude genuine despite my turmoil.
“I’d love to stay behind and catch up on thinsg with you but I have a mjaor operation to carry out in the next forty-five minutes and I need to return to the hospital and prepare.
I just couldn’t handle delaying your emergency.” Xander smirked at me before packing his things and left, leaving me alone with Zara.
