Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow

Chapter 258

~Zara’s POV~

The morning light illuminated my chamber through the large windows, down to the thick silk, resting a beautiful view. However, the tranquillity of the scene was insufficient to quell the brewing storm within me.

Pacing back and forth across the rug, I wrung my hands together, my mind racing with thoughts of Zara. My daughter. My heart. My heir.

The door creaked open, and Courtney, my trusted lady-in-waiting, stepped inside. She bowed respectfully before speaking. "You called for me, my lady?"

I spun on my heel, nodding sharply. "Yes, I did. Come in, Courtney."

Courtney stepped closer, her expression curious but composed. "What is it you need, ma’am?"

I sighed and walked over to the adjoining sitting room in my chambers, motioning for her to sit, but she remained standing.

Resigning myself to her ever-proper nature, I sat down instead, my fingers tapping anxiously on the armrest. "First, tell me—what’s my schedule for the day?"

Courtney adjusted the clipboard in her hands, quickly scanning the list. "You have a meeting with the pack elders at noon to discuss the upcoming alliance treaty. After that, the charity banquet planning committee will need your input on final details. And... the director for your new movie is set to arrive this afternoon for a private discussion."
