CHAPTER 176
~ Zara's POV~
The room fell into stunned silence after my revelation. The playful atmosphere turned serious as Tempest and Aira stared at me, their gazes flickering between Snow and me as if searching for confirmation.
"What did you just say?" Tempest inquired, her tone sharp yet laced with disbelief.
"I said Zade is my brother," I repeated, glancing at Snow for support.
Snow sighed, leaning forward. "It's true," he said calmly but one couldn't mistake the firmness of his tone. "Zara and Zade are siblings. Their separation occurred during their childhood.
Aira's eyes widened, her usually composed demeanor faltering. "Separated? How… how is that possible?"
Snow exchanged a quick glance with me before continuing. "It's a complex tale, but the short version is that Zara was taken during an attack on the Golden Claw Pack. That was the night it fell. Zade has been looking for her ever since."
