Chapter 148

~Jenna’s POV~

A sharp exhale escaped me. This wasn’t just about Snow anymore. This trip was crucial for Jay Enterprises, and I couldn’t afford to fail.

But I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about the larger picture—the one where I wasn’t just a representative of my family’s company. I was Snow’s partner, his equal.

And Zara? She would be nothing more than a distant memory.

With renewed determination, I exited the building and slid into the backseat of my waiting car. I pulled out my tablet, skimming through emails and reports, my mind already working on how to ensure this trip cemented my place by Snow’s side.

Soon, Zara. Very soon.

~Snow’s POV~

The drive home was quiet, the rhythmic hum of the car engine doing little to soothe my restless thoughts. As much as I wanted to focus on the trip ahead, my mind kept drifting to Zara.

Jenna’s audacity earlier was irritating, but it was her constant mention of Zara that had truly irked me. It wasn’t Jenna’s place to comment on my wife.

Wife.

The word carried more weight than I cared to admit, especially now. I didn’t want anything triggering Zara off, most especially Jenna.

With the issue on ground, she already has a lot on her plate and I needed her to be safe till my return.

Arriving at the mansion, I stepped out of the car, the evening air cool against my skin. The soft glow of the lights spilling from the windows gave the house a warm, inviting appearance.

After a quick shower and a quiet lunch, I made my way to Zara’s room. The door was slightly ajar, but the room was empty.

"Where is she?" Glacier stirred in my mind, clearly displeased. ALl day he had been itchy to spend time with her and her wolf.

He often told me how he missed seeing Astrid since that mating night.

I turned to leave, only to hear the soft sound of her voice behind me. "Looking for me?"

I turned, and there she was, leaning casually against the wall. Her hair was slightly disheveled, her lips curving into an amused smile. She wore a simple sweater and jeans, yet she looked radiant.

"I wanted to see you before I left," I said, taking a step closer.

Her smile softened. "I was just getting some air. I didn’t think you’d look for me."

I chuckled, rubbing the back of my neck. "Of course, I would."

She tilted her head, studying me. "You’ve been busy lately. Everything okay?"

"Just work," I replied, though my voice betrayed the tension I felt. "The trip came up suddenly, and I didn’t have a chance to tell you earlier."

She nodded and thankfully her expression gave one of understanding. "I figured it was something important."

Boy was I glad we weren’t fighting anymore like that last time.

"I wish I didn’t have to go," I admitted, guaging her reaction.

Her eyes widened slightly, and for a moment, I saw something flicker in her gaze—surprise, maybe even something more. "You’ll do great, Snow. Just... stay safe, okay?"
