Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow

**************

Chapter 6

~Snow's POV~

I watched Zara's expression shift through a range of emotions—surprise, panic and then, remarkably to composure. Her face was priceless—wide eyes and slightly parted lips.

I knew from how she treated me she had no idea who I really was despite all the hints I'd dropped. I almost wanted to laugh. She had no one to blame but herself.

Still, she quickly masked her shock, her eyes narrowing slightly as if preparing for a fight. I admired that. Zara was sharp, bold, and didn't crumble under pressure. Most people wouldn't adapt so quickly to finding themselves thrown into the deep end like this.

But Zara? She squared her shoulders and met my gaze head-on, showing me she wasn't backing down. Glacier purred in approval, already intrigued by her.

He stirred with excitement the moment she walked in, the usual pull between us tightening, restless whenever she was near. She had that effect on both of us.

I leaned back in my chair, letting a slow smile spread across my lips. "Take a seat, Zara," I said smoothly, gesturing to the chair across from me. "We have much to discuss." She moved with confidence, settling in without hesitation.

As she sat, I couldn't help but think back to the call with my father. He hadn't taken the news of my marriage well. "You're married?" he'd barked, disbelief coloring his voice. "What kind of stunt are you pulling, Snow?"

I stayed calm, knowing this conversation was inevitable. "I've done what was necessary, as you requested," I replied. "You wanted a Luna, didn't you? I gave you one."
