Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 303

Chapter 303: Taking it to Kane Chapter 303: Taking it to Kane *************** CHAPTER 303 ~Zara’s POV~ I turned just in time to see Aira striding in, her long dark hair cascading over her shoulders as her little son, Storm, toddled beside her.

“Aira!” I beamed, getting up from my chair to embrace her.

She hugged me tightly before I pulled back to ruffle Storm’s soft hair.

“And look at you,” I said, crouching slightly to hug him.

“You’ve grown so much!” Storm giggled, burying his face into his mother’s leg before peeking up at me.

“Auntie Zara,” he mumbled, his tiny voice making my heart melt.

“Come and give me a good hug, my little Storm.” “He is shy?” Snow asked.

“That’s new.” Snow leaned back in his chair, his lips twitching in amusement.

“Looks like someone missed you.” Aira chuckled.

“That’s because I threatened to spill about how he went on and on about Zara and missing her.

Even more than his daddy, Snow.” “Mum!” little Storm protested.

My eyes sparkled.

“Come here, fella.

I love and miss you too.” Storm finally let Aira go and ran in for a hug.

Aira smirked.

“Well, we both did.” “Have you had dinner?” Storm shook his head.

“Well, you guys come and have your seats.

It’s dinner time.” We all settled down at the table.

I instructed for their meal to be served, and we all dived into our meal with conversation flowing between us.  Aira asked about my health, and I assured her I was fine.

The conversation shifted from my time at my mother’s pack to Storm’s new habit of sneaking cookies when Aira wasn’t looking.

Everything felt warm, and familiar.

Safe.

Until Aira’s phone vibrated on the table.

She glanced at the screen, and instantly, the colour drained from her face.

I frowned.

“Aira?

What’s wrong?” Her fingers hovered over the phone, hesitation flashing in her eyes.

I leaned closer, my curiosity growing.

“Who is it?” Aira swallowed and whispered.

“Kane.” The name sent a chill through the air.

Her first mate.

The man who had betrayed her.

And just like that, the peaceful dinner took a sharp turn.

The tension in the room thickened as Snow’s entire demeanour shifted.

His usually calm, controlled aura darkened, his jaw tightening as he exhaled sharply through his nose.

“What the fuck did he say?” Snow growled, his piercing blue eyes locked on Aira.

Aira hesitated, fingers trembling slightly as she picked up her phone.

Her eyes scanned the message once more before she read it aloud.

“I want…” She stopped, her throat tightening.

Snow’s expression turned lethal, his fists clenching against the table.

“Go on,” he urged, his voice controlled but laced with something dangerous.

Aira swallowed hard and continued.

“I want to see you, Aira.

We need to talk.

It’s been years, and you can’t keep my son from me.

I won’t allow it anymore.

If you won’t come to me, I will come to you.” A dark glint flashed in Snow’s eyes when the words left her lips.

His entire body radiated fury.

“I guess it’s time to take care of Kane once and for all,” Snow declared, his voice eerily calm but filled with promise.

“Storm will not be his, and neither will you.”  He stood up abruptly, grabbing his phone.

“I need to call Tempest.

I know she’ll want action on what’s about to happen to your useless mate.” Aira looked pale, her lips slightly parted as she stared at her phone.

Something was in her eyes-fear, anger, and something else.

Something unreadable.

I quickly reached over and pressed my hand over hers, giving her a reassuring squeeze.

“We’ll figure this out together,” I said softly.

Aira nodded slowly but didn’t speak.

Snow’s grip on his phone tightened as he turned toward the hallway.

“Where are you going?” I asked, watching him intently.

“To make the necessary call.” With that, he exited the dining room, exuding a well-controlled fury that chilled my spine.

************** The next afternoon, the house was quieter than usual.

Snow had left early in the morning for an emergency meeting, and Aira had spent most of the morning locked in her room with Storm.  I had kept myself busy in the kitchen, preparing lunch and refusing help from the maids while my thoughts wandered.

Just as I placed the last dish onto the counter, the front door swung open, and I sensed it.

His presence filled the air before I even turned around.

“Zade!” I exclaimed, immediately leaving the kitchen.

He barely had time to react before I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug.

His deep chuckle rumbled in his chest as he hugged me back.

“I missed you too, sis,” he murmured.

I hadn’t seen him since the ball.

He had left me alone to face all of our mother’s overwhelming love.

I pulled away, grinning.

“Yeah, you will after leaving me alone in the pack with Mother.”  Zade grinned.

“Sorry, sis.

I had all the love for decades.

I don’t mind letting you share and bask in it for a few more weeks.

In fact, take a decade if you wish.” I playfully smacked his arm.

“Thanks, but no.

Just a few visits now and then, won’t mind.

When did you get back?” “Just now.” He ruffled my hair playfully before stepping inside fully.

“I figured you’d be here, so I came straight over.” “Well, you’re just in time for lunch,” I said, leading him back into the kitchen.

He grabbed a glass and poured himself some cold juice.

“So, what’s been going on?” he asked, taking a sip.

I leaned against the counter, arms crossed.

“Aira got a message from Kane last night.” Zade’s jaw flexed, and his expression turned serious.

“That bastard?” “Yep.” He exhaled sharply.

“What did he want?” I hesitated.

“Storm.” Zade set his glass down with a little more force than necessary.  “And Aira,” I added softly.  “Like hell, that’s happening.” I nodded in agreement.

“Snow is already planning something.

He called Tempest last night.

I’m not sure what they’re cooking up, but knowing Snow, it won’t be pretty.” Zade smirked.

“Good.

That asshole deserves whatever’s coming to him.” Before I could respond, the kitchen door opened, and Aira walked in.
