Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 241

Chapter 241: Informing Him Chapter 241: Informing Him *************** CHAPTER 241 ~Snow’s POV~ I sat facing my laptop screen in my study.

This place had become my second bestfriend after Glacier, since I began looking deeply into this Marcus issue.  My fingers danced over the keyboard as I pieced together the fragments of information.

The data files Dare Devil and Jupiter had sent were meticulous, yet they felt like the work of a phantom-someone trying too hard to remain invisible.

My frustration was obvious but for Zara’s sake, I was trying.

For hours, I combed through every detail, and just when I thought I’d hit another dead end, something clicked.

I froze, rereading the lines on the screen.

“This Marcus Devereaux is a stunt double!” I exclaimed, my voice loud in the silence.

The realization hit like a lightning strike.

I threw my fists in the air in triumph, feeling the tension in my shoulders ease momentarily.

“Yes!

That’s it!” I leaned back in my chair, my heart racing with the thrill of discovery.

But as quickly as the elation came, doubt crept in.

“Wait,” I muttered to myself, rubbing my chin.

“What if the Marcus I killed was the double?

No, that doesn’t make sense.” I shook my head firmly.

“I know what I saw.

That Marcus had the same energy, the same aura as the one I confronted at the dinner.

The real Marcus wouldn’t risk such an obvious fake unless€¦” Unless he had something even more sinister up his sleeve.

“This dubious mongrel,” I growled, my fists clenching.

“He was a fake.

But not anymore.” Grabbing my phone, I dialed Dare Devil’s number.

He picked up almost instantly.

“Snow?” “I’ve figured it out,” I said, pacing the room now, the adrenaline coursing through me.

“The Marcus we’ve been chasing-he’s a stunt double.

The real one is still out there.

I don’t know how I didn’t see it sooner, but I’m certain now.” There was a pause, then Dare Devil let out a low whistle.

“A stunt double?

That explains a lot.

What’s the plan?” “We find this double.

If the real work is still alive, then we need to lure him out,” I said firmly.

“We interrogate him, and we end this once and for all.” “On it,” Dare Devil replied.

“I’ll start pulling threads and see what I can find.” As soon as the call ended, I dialed Jupiter’s line.

He picked up on the second ring.

“Snow,” he said, brisk.

“Jupiter, it’s confirmed.

The Marcus I killed was a double.

The real one is still alive, and it’s time we smoked him out.” “That’s what I’m talking about, Snow.

You did a good job.

Let’s locate the double.” “Sure.

He won’t see us coming.” Jupiter grunted in agreement.

“Understood.

I’ll start compiling the last-known connections and send them your way.” “Good.” I allowed myself a brief smile.

“Once we handle this, it’s over.” Jupiter hesitated before asking, “And Zara?

How’s she doing?

How is she taking the news?

Wait€¦ Have you informed her yet?” I leaned back against my desk, my thoughts briefly shifting to her.

“She’s at the pack house for the Ivory Crescent event.

I was planning to visit her later and share the good news myself.” “She’ll want to hear it,” Jupiter said.

“She’s been through enough lately.” “That’s why I want to see her and tell her.

Hat we have found arcus Devareaux.” “Okay.

You rplan it is.”  As I nodded, another call buzzed on my screen.

I glanced at the number-it was unfamiliar.

“I’ve got another call coming in,” I told Jupiter.

“I’ll check in with you later.” “Got it.” The call with Jupiter ended, and I moved to answer the incoming call, but it stopped abruptly before I could pick up.

My brows furrowed as unease prickled at the back of my neck.

I was about to call Zara when my phone buzzed again.

This time, it was a message notification.

I tapped the screen, my breath catching as the words glared back at me: “I have something of yours, Alpha Snow.

Your precious wife is with me.” My blood ran cold.

The room seemed to tilt slightly as rage surged through me.

Like a movie clips, the memory of when I felt her snuff out crossed my mind and I staggered.  I was sure it was my mind and the stress but now€¦ I understood.

They have her€¦ the enemy has her.

“Zara€¦” I whispered, and Glacier snarled viciously in my mind.

The message was followed by a second notification-a photo attachment.

I tapped it open quickly, my heart pounding violently in my chest.

The image showed Zara, unconscious, her hands bound and her face pale, slumped in a dimly lit room.

The phone nearly slipped from my hand as fury ignited every nerve in my body.

My vision blurred with red as Glacier growled, his voice echoing in my head.

“They will pay for this,” I vowed.

With no time to waste, I grabbed my jacket, already dialing Dare Devil again.

This time, the hunt was personal.

He answered quickly, as if already sensing my frustration.  “They have her.” “What?”  “I’msending coordinates€¦ have Jupiter on it ASAP.

I’m on the move.” “Snow€¦ you cannot go in alone.

Wait€¦”  I ended the call abuptly and called the only person who shared my pain.

“Glacier, are you ready?”  **************** ~Kaid’s POV~ ~Lycan Territory~ Ever since I met Siona, I have been on he low, handling my pack affairs excellently.  Suddeny a presence at the door made me lift my head from the petitions on my desk before the person could kmock.

“Yes?” my deep cold voice rang out.

“Alpha, Lady Siona is here to see you.” By the mere mention of her name, I knew something was up.  The rabbit wouldn’t be seen running in the afternoon except its home was on fore€¦ Why had the priestess come of he rown accord?

I ordered fo rher to be brought to me and while my thoughts accompanies me, she arrived minutes later.  Siona did not bother with pleasantries, With her eyes red and darkened like hat of a dangerous monster, she deliver the killing blow.

“It has begun.

Zia Gold had been captured.”
