Chapter 268

~Zara’s POV~

I could not promise to be there in two days. I already made plans with Ella. I couldn’t rush things either for Mum.

As the call ended, I leaned back against the seat of the car, exhaling deeply. My mother’s fierce love was both comforting and overwhelming, but it reminded me that I wasn’t alone in this fight.

The streets blurred by as I neared Ella’s house. Pulling into the driveway, I called her line and she immediately answered.

"Hey Zee."

"I’m here, El. Come down."

"Sweet," shegiggled and ended the call.

Within a couple of minutes, Ella was already outside the building with a teasing smile on her lips.

"Ella!" I called out as I stepped out of the car.

She ran toward me, dragging her box behind her as she wrapped me in a tight hug. "Zara! You look amazing, as always. How do you manage it?"

I laughed, hugging her back just as tightly. "Says the woman who looks like she just walked off a runway."

Ella pulled back, mock-flipping her hair. "Oh, you know. Natural talent."

"Sure, sure," I teased, rolling my eyes. "Ready to go?"

She nodded, her smile faltering slightly. "Yeah. I packed up what I could."

"Oh was someone planning on running away permamently?"

"Nah." She playfully hit my arm.

"Guess we can arrange for a new apartment for you later on. What say you?"

Ella gave it a small thought before shaking her head. "For now, no."

"You sure?" I pressed. "You need an environment away from him."

"He’s leaving," she blurted. "More like, moved, left or packed out of his place. So I am free."

I tutted. The honest truth was that she was far from free. "Yet you still have memories of him in your place. Where you kissed, made love and..." I noticed her eyes become glossy and shut my lips up immediately.

"That’s what they are. Memories I’ll cherish."

I sighed and slumped my shoulders. "We’ll figure it out," I assured her, squeezing her hand. "You’re with me now."

As we placed her box into the car, Ella glanced at me. I caught the faint sight of a mischievous glint in her eyes. "So, tell me—how was Lycan territory? Did you and Snow have any romantic moments under the moonlight?"

I groaned, buckling my seatbelt. "Ella, it wasn’t a vacation. And don’t even get me started on Kaid."

"Oooh, Kaid, wait... The Alpha... the Lycan King Kiad?" she asked, dragging out his name dramatically.

"Yes El."

"Whoa, Zee. Do tell. Is he as broodingly handsome as the rumors say?"

"Ella," I warned, though I couldn’t hide the faint smile tugging at my lips.

"I’m just saying," she said with a shrug. "If Snow wasn’t in the picture..." _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
