Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 200
Chapter 200: Wild One Night Stand Chapter 200: Wild One Night Stand *************** CHAPTER 200 ~Tempest’s POV~ After Kaid’s dramatic interruption, the ballroom had been filled with tension.
I was restless, the unresolved emotions from Zara’s ordeal lingering in the back of my mind. I had slipped away to the bar, needing a drink to settle myself.
The amber liquid burned as I sipped it, my gaze scanning the room.
Deep down, I had hoped someone-anyone-might notice my absence.
But the one person I secretly wished would come never did.
I was lost in my thoughts when I heard a familiar voice.
“Didn’t think I’d find you here.” I turned to see Koda standing nearby, his expression unsure, as if he was debating whether to stay or leave.
“If you’re thinking of running away, go ahead,” I said, my voice tinged with bitterness.
“Like everyone else, you probably should.” His brows furrowed, and he hesitated before stepping closer.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” I huffed, swirling the liquid in my glass.
“Nothing.
Just me being dramatic.” But he didn’t leave.
Instead, he pulled out the stool beside me and sat down.
“No one’s ever accused me of running away,” he said after a pause.
“But maybe I should, considering the mood you’re in.” I smirked, but there was no humour in it.
“You wouldn’t be the first.” For a moment, there was silence between us.
Then, to my surprise, Koda spoke again.
“Why do you think everyone leaves?” His question caught me off guard, and I turned to look at him.
There was no mockery in his eyes, only genuine curiosity.
“Because they do,” I said simply.
“No one stays.
Not for me anyways.” He frowned, his gaze intense.
“That’s not true.” I laughed bitterly.
“Isn’t it?
Look around, Koda.
Aira’s got Zade.
Zara’s got Snow.
Even Kaid showed up staking claims.
And me?
I’m just here, watching it all unfold.” Koda leaned forward, his elbows resting on the bar.

“You ever think maybe it’s not about you, but about them?
Maybe the people who leave don’t see what’s in front of them.” I blinked, his words sinking in.
“What are you saying?” “Perhaps you feel that way but you do not realise that they trust you and your decisions.
When they look at you, no one sees a girl who is alone but a strong, fierce woman.” I shook my head.
“It doesn’t matter.” He frowned and I straightened my back, ready to explain.
“I’m saying you’re worth staying for,” he said, his voice low but steady.
I scoffed at his words.
Too sad he wasn’t following his advice, or was he just a part of the stupid ones?
“Didn’t you leave?
Aren’t you hung up on my sister?” The air between us shifted, the weight of his words hanging heavily.
My chest tightened as I met his gaze, the vulnerability in his eyes catching me off guard.
“I did.
I was but Aira€¦ she won’t love me.
No.” He shook his head.
“She can’t love me.
But you, everyone wants you.” “I don’t know if I believe that,” I whispered.
“Then maybe someone needs to show you,” he replied, his voice almost a whisper.
The tension between us grew, and I felt an undeniable pull-a magnetic force that seemed impossible to resist.
Before I could think, before I could stop myself, I leaned in.
And so did he.
Our lips met, tentative at first but quickly deepening.
His hand cupped my cheek, his touch firm yet gentle as if he was afraid I’d pull away.
But I didn’t.
I couldn’t.
Every kiss and every movement felt like a dam breaking, releasing emotions I hadn’t realized I’d been holding back.
When we finally pulled apart, we were both breathless.
He rested his forehead against mine, his hand still on my cheek.
“Tempest,” he murmured, his voice thick with emotion.
I didn’t know what to say, my mind racing and my heart pounding.
But in that moment, words weren’t necessary.
Koda leaned forward once more.
The second kiss was slow and tender.
He held me close, his hands sliding down to rest on my waist.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer, wanting to lose myself in him.
We pulled apart, both breathing hard.
Koda looked down at me, his eyes searching.
I smiled.
“Thank you, Koda,” I whispered, my cheeks flushing as I spoke.
“You’re welcome,” he murmured.
For a moment, neither of us spoke.
We just stood there, basking in the warmth of each other’s company.
“What now?” “Whatever you want, Tempest.” “Really?” “Yes, really.” I considered my options.
I wanted him, yes, but it was still early.
And I didn’t want things to end the way they did with Ryland, but deep down, Summer was eagerly pulling, yearning for him, my mate.
The only problem was, I wondered if my mate wanted us like we wanted him.
I glanced at his eyes once more.
This time I was met with equal desire.
I had made my choice.
“My car.” Without a word, he took my hand and led me out of the ballroom.
The cool night air greeted us as we stepped into the parking lot.
Koda guided me to my sleek black car, unlocking the doors.
We slid into the back seats, our eyes meeting in the dim light.
There was no hesitation, no uncertainty.
He leaned in, claiming my mouth once more, the passion burning bright.
And in that moment, everything else fell away.
There was no doubt, no fear.
Only us.
His hands were on my body, his lips trailing along my neck, igniting a fire within.
I arched into him, desperate for more.
He broke the kiss and his intense gaze locked on me like he could see my wolf through my eyes.
“Are you sure about this?” I didn’t hesitate.
“Yes.” And without another word, we sealed the night.
In the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but worry.
What if this was just a one-night thing?
What if it didn’t mean anything to him?
But as we lost ourselves in each other, the doubts melted away.
We spent the rest of the night exploring, losing ourselves in the sensations.
And when we finally fell asleep, his arms were wrapped around me, keeping me close.
As I drifted off, I felt safe and content.
For the first time in a long time, I was happy.
Summer was happy.
It wasn’t until 5.
a.m.
that we both went our separate ways and I returned home this morning.
