Chapter 25

~Zara’s POV~

For a moment, I saw a flicker of something in his eyes—surprise, maybe, or even guilt—but it was quickly masked by anger.

He took a step closer, his presence looming over me. I instinctively took a step back, but I kept my gaze locked on his, refusing to back down.

Our steps continued as if in sync until we got half way into the room.

"Is this how you want to play it?" His voice was low and dangerous. The storm in his eyes brewing stronger.

I shrugged, not answering his question and that irked him further.

Snow’s eyes burned into mine, his rage was barely contained.

"Zara!" he barked, his voice sharper this time, cleaning the smug smile from my face. His jaw clenched and I noticed his hands balling into fists at his sides. "Are you going to answer me? Or should I assume what everyone is saying is true?"

"Seeing as you came barging in here, I presume we already have you concluding on an answer. So what use is asking me?"

He hesitated, my words had hit home. Snow breathed, calming his anger briefly. "Are you cheating on me, Zara?"

I didn’t flinch. "Are you banging Zoe?"

His eyes flashed with fury, but I didn’t stop. "Oh, I’m sorry, that’s none of my business, is it?" I continued, placing my hands on my hips, leaning forward slightly. "Because, according to you, things don’t work like that. You don’t owe me any explanations, right?"

"Zara, don’t push me," Snow warned, his voice tight with frustration. I could see his control slipping and for a moment, I felt a surge of satisfaction. But it was short-lived.

Suddenly, something shifted in the air between us. His eyes, still filled with anger, darkened in a way that sent a shiver down my spine. I saw Glacier pushing to the surface, hungry and eager.

He wanted something, and I knew exactly what it was.

Snow swallowed hard, as if fighting to keep his wolf at bay. His gaze flickered to the neckline of my robe, which had slipped slightly during our exchange. His eyes lingered on my exposed skin as the tension between us built by the second.

He took a step forward and I instinctively took another step back.

My heart thudded as I tried to keep my distance. But he didn’t stop. Snow kept moving, each step bringing him closer, his eyes never leaving mine. I could feel the heat radiating from his body.

And for a moment I felt Astrid stir awake within me. I froze momentarily.

I was maad at him and now wasn’t a time to action our wolves attraction.

"Snow..." I warned even though my voice faltered, but before I could take another step, I felt my heel slip against the water droplet on the polished floor from my wet hair.

I stumbled, my body lurching backward as I lost my balance.

Only one word echoed in my mind...FUCK!
