Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 301

Chapter 301: The Alliance’s Order Chapter 301: The Alliance’s Order *************** CHAPTER 301 ~Melvin’s POV~ I watched the man straighten immediately.

“We weren’t informed of any visitors, sir.” I narrowed my eyes as the car came to a stop, and two men stepped out.

They were dressed sharply, their movements calculated, and their auras spoke of authority.

The older of the two, a man in his mid-fifties with silver streaks running through his dark hair, adjusted his suit as he approached the main entrance.  His companion was younger with broad-shouldered, and stayed close behind him, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.

I set my whisky down and moved to the living room, my curiosity already piqued as I waited.

By the time I reached the grand hall, the two men were already being led inside by one of my guards.

“Sir,” the guard announced, “these gentlemen are here to see you.” I stepped forward, my posture relaxed slightly but my commanding aura never left.

“And who might you be?” The older man stepped forward, his demeanour cool and composed.

“Thorn Wills,” he said calmly.

“Beta of the Thorned Crescent Pack and Lieutenant of the Allied Rogue Forces.” I raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at the corner of my lips.

“So the alliance finally sent someone.” “Yes,” Thorn replied, “and since you just joined, it’s only fair we make introductions in person.

However€¦” He paused, his gaze sharp as it settled on me.

“We’ve also received some concerning information.” “Oh?” I chuckled, folding my arms.

“Do tell.” Thorn’s lips thinned, his voice dropping into a colder tone.

“We’ve learnt that you, Melvin Devereaux, had Zia Gold in your custody…

and you let her escape.” At the mention of Zara-Zia Gold-I couldn’t help but laugh, the sound dripping with mockery.  “So what is this?

A kindergarten or some high school parole police.

Wait, am I going to go to detention?” I asked, spreading my arms to the side and laughing.

“Melvin Devereaux, this is serious.

Zia Gold is important and you cannot just act on your own anymore.”  “Wait…

Hold that shit.

Thankfully, you just said I just joined the alliance,” I said, my tone light but laced with sarcasm.

“As such, any action I took in the past has absolutely nothing to do with you.

My dealings with Snow Zephyr are personal.” Thorn’s companion, who had remained silent until now, shifted slightly, his presence as imposing as the Beta’s.

Thorn, however, didn’t flinch at my retort.

“From now on,” Thorn said, his voice cutting through the room like a blade, “you’ll leave your grudges aside and focus on the ultimate goal of the alliance.” I scoffed, shaking my head.

“You make it sound so simple.

But let me make one thing clear-” Before I could finish, Thorn’s aura exploded, filling the room with an oppressive weight that made the air feel thick.

My chest tightened, and my wolf growled in protest, but I held my ground, even as my knees threatened to buckle.

“You will do as you’re told,” Thorn enunciated, his voice a dangerous growl, “or the alliance will be forced to take measures.” The weight of his Beta aura pressed down on me, and for a brief moment, I considered tearing into him right then and there.  But I wasn’t stupid.

There was a reason he was the lieutenant of the Allied Rogue Forces.

His aura was imposing enough.

Taking him out wouldn’t be easy.

The Thorned Crescent Pack wasn’t to be trifled with, and the alliance had resources I couldn’t afford to alienate.

Thorn’s gaze never wavered as he continued.

“Henceforth, Zara-Zia Gold-is our top priority.

If you see her or manage to get your hands on her again, you will hand her over to the Allied Rogue Forces.

Do I make myself clear?” My fists clenched at my sides, my wolf snarling at the thought of surrendering Zara to anyone.

My face twisted in disgust, but I managed a stiff nod.

“Good,” Thorn said, his voice returning to its usual calm as he extended a hand for a shake.

I hesitated; the idea of shaking his hand was repulsive to me.

Thorn noticed but didn’t press the issue.  Just as I stretched out my hand to take him, he dropped his and placed it in his pocket, a small smirk playing on his lips as he turned to leave with his companion.

As soon as they were out of sight, my fury boiled over.

I grabbed the champagne bottle from the nearby table and hurled it across the room, watching it shatter against the wall.

“Fucking arrogant bastards,” I growled, my chest heaving as I paced the room.

One of my men stepped forward cautiously.

“Sir€¦” “Have we gotten any updates on Zara’s movements?” I demanded in a snarl.

The man flinched but answered quickly.

“She just returned from her mother’s pack yesterday.

She’s back with Snow Zephyr.” The name alone was enough to set me off.

My wolf surged forward, and I slammed my fist into the nearest table, cracking the wood.

“You missed a fucking golden opportunity to kidnap her before she got back to Snow!” I roared, my voice echoing through the room.

The men in the room lowered their heads, their postures submissive.

“Umm, sir€¦” one of them began hesitantly.

“I believe Snow has Zara guarded at all times.

It would be…

difficult to get to her.” “What?!” I barked, my eyes flashing a dangerous shade as my wolf threatened to surface.

“You’re telling me that’s your excuse?

That’s why you’ve been sitting on your asses, doing nothing?

You’re a bunch of fucking idiots!” The man lowered his head further, clearly regretting his words.

I took a deep breath, trying to rein in my temper.

My wolf clawed at my insides, demanding action, but I forced myself to think.

If the alliance wanted Zara, then so be it.

But if they thought I’d hand her over without a fight, they had another thing coming.

She was mine.

And no one-no alliance, no Snow-fucking-Zephyr-would take her away from me.

She was my ticket to killing Snow Zephyr.

“Get out,” I snarled at my men, my tone leaving no room for argument.

They scrambled out of the room, leaving me alone with my rage.

“Fucking assholes.”
