Chapter 328
~Zara’s POV~
"It’s been a while, hasn’t it?"
The hairs on my arms rose. I could feel the blood drain from my face.
Snow noticed my change in expression immediately, but when he did, his gaze darkened. "What is it?"
I swallowed hard, gripping the phone tighter.
"I just wanted to let you know," Kent continued smoothly, "that we’ll see each other very soon."
Then, the line went dead. I stared at my phone while my heart pounded away.
Zade frowned. "Zara? Who was that?"
I looked up, my blood running cold.
"Kent," I whispered
"Kent?"
"Thorned Crescent Alpha heir. He’s coming."
The air in my lungs felt too heavy as Snow took my hand, guiding me out of the restaurant. My mind was still stuck on Kent’s words, playing over and over like a sick melody
"We’ll be seeing each other very soon."
What did he mean by that? How soon? How was he planning to come for me?
"Zara."
Snow’s voice pulled me back from my thoughts. When I looked around, I noticed we had left the gazebo, and he had already opened the passenger door, waiting for me to get inside.
His expression was unreadable, but I knew him well enough to feel the storm brewing behind those ice-blue eyes.
Someone had threatened his woman and he wasn’t taking things lightly.
I climbed into the car without a word, and the moment my seatbelt clicked into place, he shut the door and walked around to the driver’s side.
"My car." freēwebnovel.com
"I have sent one of the guys to take your car home. Let’s go."
The ride home was silent.
Not the comfortable kind, but the kind where too many thoughts swirled, too many unspoken words were left unspoken. Snow’s hands were tight around the wheel, his jaw clenched as he stared at the road ahead.
He was thinking. Planning.
And that scared me.
When we finally pulled into the driveway, I exhaled and turned to him. "Snow, whatever you’re thinking—"
"Go inside," he cut me off. His tone was calm, but it held a finality I couldn’t ignore.
I frowned. "Where are you going?"
"Zara," he repeated, this time softer, his fingers brushing against mine briefly. "Trust me. Go inside and stay put."
Something inside me twisted, but I nodded. I knew there was no arguing with him when he got like this.
I stepped out of the car, watching as he backed out of the driveway. But just as he was about to speed off, another car blocked his path.
Zade.
Snow exhaled sharply, already irritated before my brother even spoke.
Snow’s gaze darkened. "And the scum who handed over my wife—your sister—to a cold-blooded killer who would’ve slaughtered her in front of us. We warned my brother. He didn’t listen. We warned Ivan of the consequences. Now, it’s time he pays."
