Chapter 49: Missing Zara?

Chapter 49

~Snow’s POV~

*Earlier in the Morning*

Till now, I haven’t spoken to Zara about Storm’s mother, Aira and although I want to most times, I loved seeing her reaction.

It made me realise she was jealous, but then before I could explain, she did things that pushed my buttons.

I hate to admit it, but I’ve gotten jealous because of Zara.

I wanted to hold her still when Scott called me, however, her instant coldness made me halt. I wasn’t the man who chased, women flunked themselves at me for my power, prestige and status but not Zara.

And the way Glacier readily accepted her was a thrill I was glad to have found.

We weren’t mates. I never had a mate but with Zara, it was the next close thing. Still, none of us gave in due to our stubbornness.

A smile spread across my lips, recalling how she moaned when I trailed kisses on her neck. What had started as a tease ended up turning me on. Thankfully she hadn’t noticed and I had enough time to force my hard-on down when she pushed me away.

As soon as I left Zara’s room, I went to my study, where I was told Aria was. Although I stayed in bed late, I wasn’t expecting to see Aria dressed up like she was heading somewhere that early.

I walked in and greeted her as I came to stand before her, my chest shielded from her eyes. "Hello, Ari. Feeling better?"

She nodded. "Better, but I think I’ll feel better when I step out."

My eyes widened briefly when she said that. She had barely been discharged a day ago and now she wanted to go out?

Her blue eyes shone as she smiled. "I know what you think, but I want to feel alive again, Snow."

"Your health..." Aira lifted her palm to stop me.

"I’m sorry I ran away. I just had to try, you know. And I am not too fragile to go out."

I did not argue with her. "As you wish. Any suggestions?"

Her eyes glinted, giving a nod. "I think it is time to pay them a visit with Storm, and I want you to come with us, Snow."

Before I had a chance to refute and remind her of my busy schedule, the door pushed open with Storm running in and straight into her arms. "Mum!"

He greeted her and moved in close to kiss her on the cheek.

Ever since her return, he’s been bobblier than I anticipated. Her leaving had been hard for him to cope with, but now, his joy felt like she never left.

"Mummy, daddy, where are you going? Can I come?"

"Figured it out now?" Glacier commented since he could hear my thoughts.

"Yeah. Silly me. I should have done this sooner."
