Chapter 393
~Snow’s POV~
Shocked by my reaction, Vera froze, her expression shattering. "Snow—"
I took another step back, my chest rising and falling rapidly. "Don’t. I told you—I chose Zara. I always will."
"Snow..."
Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks, but I stilled my heart towards them. I couldn’t lose my Zara over the Moon Goddess’s overgenerous mistake called gift.
"Also, never, ever in your life, do what you did yesterday again. It was a mistake, and it should not have happened. I am no cheat."
Her lips trembled, but I didn’t stay to watch whatever excuse she was about to give.
I turned on my heel and walked out, slamming the door behind me.
I needed to get out of there.
I needed Zara.
******************
~Snow’s POV~
The next morning, I barely had time to gather my thoughts before I got a message from Zade.
"Meet us at Golden God’s house. Now."
No pleasantries. No explanation. Just a demand.
I exhaled sharply, rubbing the bridge of my nose. Of course, they want to talk about this. I should’ve expected it.
After last night, after what Vera had revealed about her past, I hadn’t been able to sleep. My mind was a mess, torn between guilt, responsibility, and frustration.
I needed to focus on fixing things with Zara. I needed to get my wife back, to prove to her that despite everything, she was my choice.
And yet, here I was, being summoned like a damn child.
By the time I arrived at Xavier’s estate, my patience was already thin. I pushed through the doors, stepping into the dimly lit lounge where the three men were already waiting.
Zade stood near the fireplace, arms crossed, his piercing blue eyes locking onto mine the second I entered.
Jupiter leaned against the bar, swirling a glass of whisky in his hand, looking more amused than he should be.
And Xavier—Golden God himself—was perched on the edge of the pool table, his expression unreadable.
Something told me this wasn’t just a casual chat.
I sighed, shoving my hands into my pockets. "Alright, what the hell is so urgent that you had to drag me here?"
Jupiter let out a short laugh. "Oh, I don’t know, Snow. Maybe the fact that since your ’mate’ arrived, everything has gone to absolute shit?"
I stiffened, my wolf stirring slightly at the accusation. "Watch it."
Xavier tilted his head. "Have you not wondered why things have been going awol lately? The tension in your pack? The instability? And let’s not forget the fact that your wife walked away from you."
I clenched my jaw. "Zara leaving has nothing to do with Vera."
Jupiter scoffed, setting his glass down with a clink. "Do you even know who she really is?"
