Chapter 250: Her Secret

Chapter 250

~Zara’s POV~

The soft rays of morning sunlight peeked through the sheer curtains, painting the room in a lively, warm hue.

I blinked awake, my body heavy from the toll of recent events. Memories from the night before swirled in my mind—Snow’s questions, Kaid’s interruptions, and the secrets I carried.

A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts.

"Come in," I called, sitting up slowly.

A maid entered and bowed her head. Her demeanour was calm and professional. "Good morning, Lady Zara. His Majesty has requested that you be moved to your private chambers today. I’ve come to assist with the transition."

My brow furrowed. "Private chambers?"

"Yes," the maid said with a polite smile. "The King thought you’d prefer a quieter, more secluded space to rest and rec1qover."

I sighed, unsure how I felt about Kaid’s constant need to intervene. But before I could dwell on it, the maid began gathering my belongings and I decided not to argue. Maybe a change in environment would do me some good.

By the time Snow arrived at the room I had vacated, I was already seated on the balcony of my new chambers, overlooking the sprawling Lycan Palace grounds. The view was breathtaking. Rolling hills stretched as far as the eye could see, the forests dense and teeming with life.

The palace itself was a marvel—ornate stone carvings adorned its walls, and the golden spires gleamed under the morning sun. It was held a different comparison to Snow’s mansion. This was regal, imposing, and almost otherworldly.

I spent the better part of the morning exploring the room and its attached amenities before settling on the balcony with a glass of raspberry wine. As I sipped, my thoughts wandered back to the night I met Siona and the revelation she had shared.

A witchy heritage and my rebirth.

I swirled the wine in my glass as everything pressed down on me. How would Snow react if I told him? Would he see me as a danger? A stranger? Or would he accept me, flaws and all?

Snow’s words from the previous night echoed in my mind: "I know she’s the one you met the night you went missing."

He was already suspicious, and I hated keeping things from him. Yet, I couldn’t shake the fear that this truth might drive a wedge between us.

"He deserves to know," Astrid’s voice whispered in my mind, breaking the silence.

"I know," I murmured, setting the glass down.

"Then tell him, Zara. You’ve been through so much together. If anyone can understand, it’s him. Give him the benefit of the doubt."

I knew Astid was right but deep down, there was this kind of fear that enveloped me. I never told anyone. Not in the second life either.

"I’m afraid, Astrid," I admitted. "What if he can’t handle it?"

"What more do you stand to lose by trying? You’ve already faced death, betrayal, and enemies who would see you destroyed. Trusting Snow might be the least dangerous choice you’ve made so far."

"You are right. It’s the least dangerous and well, this should also test his love for me."

"Exactly. Besides, he’s got Glacier. I doubt he’s ever gonna let Snow discard you."

"Well, okay. Let’s do that then."
