CHAPTER 100
Zara’s POV-
The force from the crash jarred through me, leaving me gasping as the world spun.
Pain flared up my side, and I struggled to keep my eyes open, my vision blurring.
Through the haze, I saw the other car door open, and a dark figure emerged, stalking toward me with slow, deliberate steps.
I tried to move but my foot was pinned, and the seatbelt refused to budge.
Shit!
Ignoring the pain, I summoned Astrid’s strength but the accident’s impact on Astrid was felt. Still, I ignored it and struck at the seat belt latch, breaking it free. Blood trickled from my knuckles, but I barely felt it and that was the least of my problems.

Whoever they were, had closed in.
I fumbled for my phone, my fingers shaking. Before I could dial, a gloved hand wrenched open my door, and I felt myself yanked from the driver’s seat.
The force had been much, yanking my body, and I felt my foot dislocate.
“Fuck!” I screamed in pain. The cold night air stung my skin as I tried to fight against my attacker.
I fought to keep my wits, my heart racing as I struggled against the iron grip holding me, refusing to let him see my fear.
Using whatever force I could muster, I pushed his chest hard, sending him flying against the nearby tree.
I lunged forward, only to be hit by the scent of wolfsbane. My strength faltered as the bitter smell enveloped me from behind.
What the…
I barely had time to think or get away when someone grabbed my arm from behind and forced something cold against my neck–a syringe. And before I registered the sharp prick, a numbing wave of

exhaustion washed over me.
I thrust my elbow backwards, hitting my attacker and hoping to break free. Yet as I tried to use my last bit of strength to get away, a surge of electric current rushed through me, dimming the light in my eyes.
“You think you can just walk away?” A low, menacing voice sneered close to my ear, sending a chill down my spine as his weapon tazed me. “Ivan sends his regards.”
Just before darkness claimed me, one last thought crossed my mind. Snow.

-Snow’s POV
The faint light of dawn seeped through my office windows, casting an eerie calm over the room.

My fingers drummed relentlessly on the desk, filled with thoughts. Hours had passed, and still no word from Zara.
mind
Her phone had gone straight to voicemail after countless calls, each unanswered attempt grinding on my patience.
At first. I’d tried to convince myself that she was
simply ignoring me, that maybe she was still angry or wanted some distance.
But something gnawed at me–a gut feeling I couldn’t shake. Zara was not one to stay silent like this.
Well, she could but at the least, I knew she’d answer my call at a point and show her irritation which I was counting on but got none.
I gritted my teeth, finally dialling her brother, Elias. His voice was tense, barely holding back the same urgency
I felt.
“Where is she?” I demanded, barely containing the edge in my tone. “I’ve tried every number. She hasn’t called or come back. Elias, what’s going on? Is Zara avoiding me? I thought we were good and on the same page.”
There was a brief pause, then a sharp intake of breath on the other end.
“Elias!” I bellowed, my anger barely holding in.
“Alpha Snow… I was just about to reach out to you,”
Elias said, his voice filled with dread. “She… Zara’s not
here.”

“What do you mean she’s not there? Or did she go to
Ella’s?”
There was another defeating pause which irked me to the core before he responded. “I wish that’s the case but after she left…” he sighed but his next choice of words had my jaw slacked. “Zara’s been taken.”
The words echoed, sinking like stones in my chest. My grip on the phone tightened as Glacier’s furious growl echoed in my mind, his anger blending seamlessly with
my own.
“What do you mean she was taken?” I forced the words .out, each syllable heavy with rage.
“It happened last night,” Elias continued, his voice cracking. “She was on her way back… an accident… and then she was gone. They left a message, Snow. A damn message!”
I clenched my fists, the darkness within me threatening to break free. “Where is this message, Elias?” I demanded, my voice a lethal whisper.
“I have it with me,” Elias replied, audibly struggling to keep his composure. “It’s a ransom note… they’re
demanding my father’s company and they’re

threatening her. But I doubt he’d let her go still.”
“Send me a copy, now.” I forced myself to hang up, feeling the surge of rage pulse through my veins.
I couldn’t bring myself to say anything further other
than that.
If Ivan wanted war, then so be it.
Zara was mine and not his.
She was out there, vulnerable, and in the hands of those who had dared to cross a line they couldn’t
return from.
‘I grabbed my phone, my fingers flying over the screen as I dialled Dare Devil. He picked up on the first ring.
“Snow,” he greeted, his voice as calm as ever.
“Meet me. I need you here now. They have my wife.” My voice was cold and controlled, but it barely contained the storm raging beneath the surface.
“I’ll be there soon,” Dare Devil assured me, hanging up before I could say anything else.
Moments later, a notification pinged on my phone. Dare Devil had sent me a series of files–a mix of
100 Kidnapped
footage showing Zara leaving her parents‘ mansion and, more disturbingly, hacked security clips of her
route back.
The last frame showed a wrecked car–Zara’s car,
abandoned on a quiet road, with no sign of Zara in sight.
My vision blurred with fury. Every detail, every frame seared itself into my mind as I swore vengeance on whoever was behind this.
“Find her by all means,” I texted Dare Devil, my hands shaking slightly as I forced myself to take a deep
breath. @
