Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow

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

Chapter 141

~Snow’s POV~

I swallowed hard, Jupiter’s words striking a nerve I didn’t want to acknowledge. "What if I’m wrong?"

"Then you’re wrong," Jupiter said simply. "But you’ll never know if you don’t take the chance. And let me tell you, Snow, the regret of not trying will haunt you far more than the fear of rejection."

I sighed, leaning my head back against the chair. "It’s not that simple. I married her under a contract. She agreed because it suited her needs, not because she wanted me."

Jupiter snorted. "Contracts can change, my friend. And so can feelings. Have you even talked to her about it? Or are you just sitting in your ivory tower, assuming she doesn’t care?"

"She deserves better," I muttered, more to myself than to him. "Someone who can give her a normal life, not one filled with threats and danger."

"Let me stop you right there," Jupiter interrupted. "Zara doesn’t strike me as the type who wants ’normal.’ She’s strong, Snow. She’s chosen to stand by you even when she could have walked away. That says a lot."

His words hit harder than I cared to admit. "You make it sound easy."

"It’s not," Jupiter said, his voice softening. "But nothing worth having ever is. You’re an Alpha, Snow. You don’t shy away from battles—don’t shy away from this one. If you love her, fight for her."
