Chapter 336

~Zara’s POV~

When we finally pulled away, I rested my forehead against Snow’s, my fingers tangling in his hair. "I love you," I whispered.

His lips brushed against mine again, barely a breath away. "I love you more."

I smiled, shaking my head. "Impossible."

Snow chuckled but didn’t argue. Instead, he reached over and grabbed the cake. "Now, let’s celebrate properly. Cake for breakfast?"

I laughed, sitting up fully. "You know me too well."

Snow grinned. "That’s my job, love."

And as he handed me a fork, I realized something. For the first time in a long time, things felt right.

"Anyways, time to show you your gift."

I raised an eyebrow, eyeing Snow suspiciously. "You already got me all this, and there’s more?"

Snow smirked. "Of course. You didn’t think I’d stop at just a teddy bear and cake, did you?"

I rolled my eyes. "You’re setting the bar way too high, you know."

"Good," he said smoothly. "Now, close your eyes."

I hesitated. "Do I have to?"

Snow gave me a pointed look. "Do you trust me?"

I sighed, but my lips twitched. "Fine." I closed my eyes, my fingers tightening around the sheets in anticipation.

There was a rustling sound, the soft brush of fabric shifting. Then, something cool and delicate settled around my neck.

"Okay," Snow murmured, his breath warm against my skin. "Open."

I slowly opened my eyes and glanced down.

A necklace.

Not just any necklace—a silver chain with a stunning moonstone pendant resting just above my collarbone. The gem shimmered under the light, glowing with an almost ethereal energy.

My breath hitched. "Snow... it’s beautiful."

His fingers brushed over the pendant before tilting my chin up so our eyes met. "It’s enchanted," he said softly. "Protection spell, just in case. You know, in case a certain group of bastards try anything again."

I swallowed hard, my chest tightening. He was always thinking about my safety, even when things felt peaceful.

I blinked up at him, emotion swelling in my throat. "I don’t even know what to say."

Snow’s smirk softened into something tender. "A simple ’thank you, my incredibly handsome and thoughtful mate’ would do."

I laughed, smacking his chest. "You’re ridiculous."

"But you love me anyway," he teased.

I grinned. "That, I do."

Snow leaned in, capturing my lips again in a slow, lingering kiss. When we finally pulled away, his forehead rested against mine.

"We should probably get out of bed," I murmured.

"Or... we could stay in bed all day," he suggested, wiggling his eyebrows.

I laughed. "Tempting, but someone planned a Valentine’s party, remember?"

Snow groaned dramatically. "Why did I agree to that again?"

"Because you love me," I said sweetly.

He sighed, shaking his head. "I do love you. But if Andrew gets too drunk again and starts singing karaoke, I’m blaming you."

~Later That Evening – The Party~

"You don’t get it, man," Andrew was saying, slapping Zade’s shoulder. "Valentine’s Day isn’t just about romance. It’s about celebrating love in all its forms." He gestured wildly. "Like the love between friends. And the love between—"

Andrew grinned, draping an arm around Zade’s shoulders. "And brothers-in-law."
