CHAPTER 101
-Snow’s POV-
I switched over to my contacts, selecting a name and dialling immediately. The line rang twice before a familiar voice answered.
“Snow?”
“It’s Zara,” I bit out, wasting no time with pleasantries. “She’s been taken. I need you at the scene. Search every inch, every clue. Leave nothing unchecked. Find her by all means.”
The silence on the other end was brief but charged with understanding. “Consider it done,” he replied in a low but serious tone. “I’ll send word as soon as I have anything.”
Ending the call, I felt the storm in me intensify. Zara’s disappearance wasn’t just an attack on her–it was a declaration of war. And whoever had taken her would soon learn what it meant to go against me.

As I waited for Dare Devil to arrive, I paced the room, each step filled with barely contained wrath.
The seconds ticked by, each one like a hammer blow, as I imagined every possibility, every scenario she could be facing.
Images of her in pain, in fear flashed in my mind, fueling the fire that burned hotter with each passing
moment.
I calculated my every step, playing over the actions I would take once I found her in my head like it had happened really.
Unfortunately for me, Zara wasn’t my mate, and as such, I could not sense her, but I didn’t care. There was more than one way to go about this and get what I
wanted.
What would my father do?
I thought of how ruthless my father had been in killing and ruling. It was the very reason why we were feared, amongst other things.
I had been too soft lately, trying to rule with calm and peace but if Ivan wanted war, he was going to get it.

No one touched my wife and got away with it.
Minutes passed quickly and soon a knock sounded at the door, and I swung it open to see Dare Devil standing there, masking his expression with a sharp gaze as he stepped into the room.
“Come in.”
“Snow,” he greeted, nodding in acknowledgement.
“Did you see the footage?” I demanded, wasting no time as I gestured to the files he’d sent me.
Dare Devil nodded, his gaze darkening. “Every frame. Whoever took her knew exactly where she’d be and
when. This wasn’t a random act.”
My fists clenched at his words. “I need them found,” I said, ignoring the low and deadly tone in my voice. “I don’t care what it takes. Whoever did this will pay with everything they have.”
“Good. I am with you.”
“Alright then. Follow me.”
We left my study, heading toward the small control
room hidden on the second floor.

It was the one room in this mansion outfitted with
every surveillance tool I might need, security software glowing from wall–to–wall monitors.
With Zara missing, every second counted, and this place was the key to finding her.
Dare Devil scanned the screens. “The last security cam footage of her just…cuts. We threw anyone tailing them off their trail by using the cameras‘ blind spots.”
“Well, we must find her one way or the other,” I
refuted.
“Hmm…” he seemed to ponder briefly and after that nodded, turning to face me. “Are you certain there’s no other means of tracking her?”
Frustration surged through me as I shook my head, my jaw clenched tight. “I’ve thought of all means I could use but nothing. It’s not like I could put a tracker in her body or something.”
Then a thought hit me–something that sparked a glimmer of hope. “Wait–my unlimited credit card.”
I took a steadying breath, the memory surfacing of that first day with Zara. I’d handed her the card, and to

Dare Devil’s brows rose as he caught on. “Think she still has it on her?”
“I believe she keeps it in her mini purse,” I explained, “she took it with her last night.”
Thankfully, on one occasion when two of us spoke, s made mention of never being stranded as she went everywhere with her mini purse housing her credit cards just to be safe.
I couldn’t recall what had led to that discussion that
day but I saw her as efficient when she told me about
- it.
Dare Devil nodded, already at work, fingers tapping over the keyboard. “Then if she’s used it–or if she doe at any point–it’ll light up like a signal flare.”
“She doesn’t need to use it first. It has a tracker in it.”
His brows shot up and I smirked. The system blinked to life, every monitor showing possible coordinates.
Dare Devil’s fingers moved with precision, tapping commands into the console as he scanned the system for any signs of the tracker.
Lie focus was razor–sharp, his eyes reflecting the glow

of the screens, and I could feel his intensity matchin my own.
Every second felt like a drumbeat against my patie but I held steady, willing him to uncover something, anything, that would lead us to Zara.
Suddenly, one of the screens flashed. Dare Devil froz his gaze narrowing.
“I have it,” he said in a low voice. “The card registered Coordinates are coming through now.”
A surge of relief flooded me, but it was tempered by anticipation. Dare Devil transferred the coordinates onto a digital map that zoomed in on the location.
“North of the Crescent Moon territory,” he muttered, adjusting the map’s view. “It’s a remote area. Old warehouses, abandoned a decade ago, from the looks of it. No surveillance, no cameras.”
“Perfect place to keep someone hidden.” I tightened my fists. My mind raced through the steps, calculating the route and the necessary backup.
Dare Devil glanced at me. Although his expression was calm, his eyes were filled with understanding. “I’ll set un a team to intercept. They won’t see us coming”
