Chapter 418

~Zara’s POV~

It all went in a flash. It all felt like a wrong horror movie playing in my head as I watched that spark in his eyes die completely.

Snow was gone. My world was gone. No.

"No. No. No!" Astrid roared within me and I shared in her pain.

Something inside me snapped. The pain, the fear, the anger—it all collapsed into a single, overwhelming force.

A glow erupted from my body, the sheer heat of it scorching the air around me. Astrid’s feral growl echoed in my mind, unhinged.

"No!!" Pain coursed through her from killing her mate. "My mate..." she whimpered, whined like a lost cub as the pin overwhelmed her. "Hewas going to reject me for you. I thought, I-I thought killing you would make him see he has no need for ou but why... In the end, he only saw you! No...!"

Only now did I truly believe the bond between them but still... none of that mattered.

I lifted my gaze, my eyes glowing an intense, blinding white as they locked on her—my one true enemy—Vera Slaton.

And then, I moved faster than lightning, faster than thought—I was on her. Vera barely had time to react before my clawed hand pierced through her chest.

Her eyes widened in shock, her lips parting in a silent gasp as blood gushed from her mouth. Anger flared in my eyes, their colour mirroring in her wild eyes as I tightened my grip, my claws sinking deeper.

Fear filled her eyes as she tried to speak. To plea perhaps but I was much less concerned about her to bother with that. What I wanted more than anything was revenge, to snuff her like she did Snow.

Her heartbeat faltered and with a final, merciless twist, I crushed her heart. She shuddered, her body convulsing as she choked on her own breath.

Her magic flickered, her power snuffed out, and then just like she had done to him, she too was gone.

I yanked my hand back, letting her lifeless body collapse to the ground.

I didn’t look at her. Because my eyes were already on Snow. I sank to my knees, gathering him into my arms, my vision blurring with tears.

"Snow... Snow, open your eyes." My voice shook. My hands shook. My entire soul trembled with terror.

But Snow didn’t move.

I pressed my forehead against his, my voice breaking as I cried. "Don’t you dare leave me, please."

There was no response from him. The more seconds ticked by, the more I felt lost. "Snow..." Tears streamed down my face in torrents as memories of our life together flashed before my eyes.

How I had met him as nothing but a mere call boy. How we had formed a contract and even our first kiss, our first sex and the many times we were together after that.

"Snow, please. Stay with me. Stay back. I... I love you, lease. I’m so sorry. I am sorry. I never should have left you. Please come back to me. Come back!"

I could hear Astrid’s howl echoing through my mind, the agony of what was left of the mate bond fraying, threatening to rip me apart.

I didn’t know what to do. All I wanted was to keep him safe. Keep him alive, not just for me but for the people in our lives.

For Little Storm, for Aira, Tempest, Luna Star, Zade, Alpha Storm, my mother... me.

Snow couldn’t afford to leave. Not now. He wasn’t...

I didn’t know what happened. All I knew was that my hands glowed, my body trembled and my entire being was fixed on one thing—bringing him back.

Like a spellbound servant, I slowly placed my glowing hands on his chest, shut my eyes as my entire focus was on Snow, a smiling Alpha Snow.

"Please. Please. Just please come back."

I remained there for a few minutes and then suddenly, I felt a faint heartbeat.
