Chapter 410

~Aira’s POV~

I exhaled slowly, leaving Storm’s hand and letting him play around, particularly disturbing his grandmum as he pleased. Mother never minded.

Mum took a toy she had kept beside one of the couches and handed it to him. He busied himself with the little stuffed wolf Mom had given him, his fingers tracing the soft fabric.

"Where do I even start?" I muttered.

Mom arched a brow. "At the beginning."

I scoffed. "That would take time."

Her expression remained patient. I knew there wasn’t a way she would let me go. I sighed, leaning back into the cushions. "It’s bad, Mom. Worse than I ever thought it would be."

She waited, giving me the space to explain. So, I did.

I told her everything I knew—everything that had been tearing our supposed future family with the Golds, apart. About Snow and Zara’s separation, and how she left the house in anger. About Vani’s sudden appearance and the unease surrounding her. About Tempest walking away from Ryland since he found his mate.

And then... I told her about the divorce.

The moment the words left my lips, my mother inhaled sharply, her entire body going still.

"Zara issued a divorce?"

I nodded, my throat tight. "She made her choice. And Snow... Snow let her go. The big idiot jerk of a brother I have is not seeing how much he is ruining such a good family he had created with Zara."

Mom’s fingers curled into the fabric of her dress, her expression unreadable.

I continued, my voice quieter now. "Snow messaged me on my way here. Zara rejected him as her mate. And my idiot brother accepted."

The silence that followed was heavy, suffocating, and it stretched on for what seemed to be hours until my mom spoke. "No."

I frowned. "What?"

She shook her head firmly. "No. This is not how it ends. That boy—Snow—has spent time loving that girl. And Zara? She’s been fighting for him since day one. This is not their ending."

I swallowed, uncertain about what my mum was gonna do or what she meant. "Mom... it’s too late. The mate bond is broken."

Mom gave me a pointed look. "And since when does a broken mate bond mean a broken love?" I had no answer for that. She exhaled, her gaze turning thoughtful. Then, she nodded to herself as if making a decision. "I need to speak with Zara."

My eyes widened. "Mom—"

"I don’t care what she thinks she wants. Someone needs to knock some sense into that girl before she destroys herself."

I hesitated. "And what about Snow?"

Mom’s expression softened slightly. "Snow will suffer for a while. He needs to. But that boy is my son in every way that matters. He loves her. And I will not sit here and do nothing while both of them throw their happiness away." _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

A strange mix of hope and doubt filled my chest. Could she really do something? Could anyone fix this? But as I sat there, watching my mother’s determined expression, I couldn’t help but think that if anyone could, it was her.

"Hopefully, that insanely handsome death god brother of yours would listen to reason," Autumn commented. She called Snow a death god, claiming his looks would be the death of many girls.

"True but I know what and how a matebond feels like. I cannot bring myself to telling him to reject her. "

"True. Let’s just pray he chooses right and finds happiness."
