CHAPTER 385

~Snow’s POV~

Golden God’s blue eyes flickered with something unreadable as he strode further into my office. His expression was uncharacteristically serious, lacking his usual arrogance.

“The witches are moving,” he repeated, his voice heavy with urgency.

My body tensed. “Where?”

Golden God exhaled, folding his arms across his chest. “I had a recent sighting of the aftermath of an attack—one of the smaller packs on the outskirts of the werewolf territory. The place was wiped clean; not a single survivor.” His jaw was clenched.

“They’re attacking strategically, choosing locations that won’t immediately draw attention. But they’re gaining momentum, Snow. We do not have time to sit around and wait for them to make their next move.”

A slow curse escaped my lips as I pinched the bridge of my nose. “Shit.”

I gestured toward the chairs in front of my desk. “Sit. Let’s discuss.”

Golden God didn’t hesitate, lowering himself onto the chair like a king on his throne. Zade, however, remained standing, arms crossed, his sharp blue eyes studying him carefully.

I knew that look.

He felt something.

“Are you always this tense, or is it just me?” Golden God quipped, his lips curving slightly as he tapped a finger against the armrest.

Zade ignored the remark, his eyes narrowing. “Your aura.”

Golden God tilted his head slightly, amusement dancing in his gaze. “My aura?”

“You walked in, and the entire temperature dropped,” Zade said, his tone unreadable. “That wasn’t normal.”

A knowing smirk played on Golden God’s lips. “Ah. So you did feel it.” He glanced at me. “Zara’s brother is more sensitive to these things than I thought.”

I sighed, already knowing where this was going. “That’s just Frost.”

Zade’s brows furrowed. “Frost?”

Golden God leaned back in his chair. “My wolf.” He extended his hand lazily, and in the next second, the room visibly chilled, the air thick with frost.

The glass of water on my desk frosted over instantly, a thin layer of ice spreading across the surface. Zade tensed, his wolf stirring within him.

Golden God smiled. “Once Frost is unleashed, everything in my surroundings drops dangerously close to freezing.”

His voice was calm, yet there was an underlying edge of power that sent a warning straight to our instincts.

“I can kill a man without touching him. All I have to do is lower his core temperature until his organs shut down.”

Zade’s jaw ticked. “Charming.”

Golden God let out a low chuckle, withdrawing his hand, and just like that, the cold dissipated. “Relax, Alpha Prince. I wouldn’t waste my energy on you.”

I shook my head. “Enough, both of you.”

“What?”

Zade sighed. “Now I understand why he is a deadly and lazy assassin.”

“Yeah. I try not to let Frost out because if I do… that happens.”

“But you did just now?” Zade countered.

“He…”He… Frost has been restless. The witches… they unnerve him and I just spent the last two days scanning their last attack site. So yeah, Zade. Frost’s angry.”

“Okay…” Zade drawled.

“Good. So can we focus? Because I could just ignore all this and go back home.”

I shifted my focus back to the issue at hand. “War is coming. If the witches are moving in the shadows, we don’t have time to play games.”

Golden God nodded, his expression turning serious once again. “That’s why I came. We need to act. And fast. The witches aren’t just attacking randomly—they’re searching for something. Someone.”

Zade’s eyes flickered with suspicion. “Who?”

A chill ran down my spine, unrelated to the wolf’s aura, as Golden God’s gaze met mine. His answer was simple.

“Zara.”

Silence enveloped the room. Zade and I knew why but still. We did not know what they were dpoing jsut to get her.

Then, Zade growled lowly, his entire body going rigid. “What did you just say?”

Golden God didn’t flinch under Zade’s furious glare. “You heard me.” He exhaled, running a hand through his dark hair. “I don’t know why yet, but Zara is at the centre of this. They want her. Badly,” he added for emphasis.

My blood ran cold. She needed protecion but right now she was avoiding me.

We needed to talk.

Zade clenched his fists, his energy practically vibrating through the room. “Like hell we’re going to let that happen.”

Golden God smirked. “Good. Then let’s stop wasting time and start planning. Because if we don’t move first…” His expression darkened.

“They will,” Zade voiced.

“They already have.”

“What?”

“You recall when Kane kidnapped my nephew?” Xavier nodded. “Yeah. They astral projected her spirit or something. They may not need her physically. They are trying other ways.”

“This is fucked up. Looks like we are going to be needing Kaid’s help,” Golden God suggested.

“Kaid? Why?”

Zade immediately stood up and held his palm out to me and then focused on Xavier. “Well, Zara needs his high priestess, Siona.”

“Why? To protect her?”

“No. To help her awaken her powers.”

~Zara’s POV~

The mansion felt colder now. Not because of the temperature, but because of the emptiness growing inside me.

I sat at my desk, staring at a single sheet of paper—the marriage contract.

One year.

That’s how long Snow and I had been bound together. What had started as a necessity, as a duty, had become something more. Somewhere along the way, between the stolen glances, the fights, the makeups, and the quiet moments, we had fallen in love.

I had been preparing to spend forever with him. He had been making arrangements for my coronation as Luna, solidifying our future together.

And then… this happened.

My heart clenched.

The universe had a twisted sense of humor.

There was less than a week left on the contract.

The realization hit like a blade to my chest. This could be my chance.

If Snow truly loved me, if he truly wanted me—then he would fight for me.

If he didn’t… then I had my answer.

A deep breath rattled through my chest as I wiped away the stray tear slipping down my cheek.

I wasn’t going to wait around, hoping he’d choose me over her. I wasn’t going to be the weak woman who begged for love.

I was Zara Gold, a future Luna and a warrior.

And right now, I needed to take control of my own life.
