Chapter 56

~Zara’s POV~

They showed me the training grounds, where warriors were preparing for their nightly drills and the lush gardens that surrounded the house.

Every inch of the Ivory Crescent Pack’s land seemed meticulously cared for, and it wasn’t hard to see why it was the most feared and respected pack. It was big. Yet, there was a softness here too—a balance between power and grace that I hadn’t expected.

After some time, we got a ride and headed for the ice-cream shop. Enjoyed our delicious cold creams, bought for Storm and Snow.

After the tour, we headed back just in time for dinner. But to my relief, Snow, Alpha Storm, and Lady Star were all caught up in pack business.

Dinner was a quieter affair, with only a few of the pack members joining us. I was grateful for the reprieve—small talk wasn’t my strength, especially not with everything else on my mind.

Once the meal was over, I excused myself, heading back to the bedchamber I shared with Snow. I couldn’t shake the lingering exhaustion from the day’s trip and the grandness of the pack house.

The lavish bathroom called to me, with its oversized tub and marble accents. It was practically a room on its own, big enough to host a small party.

I took my time, letting the warm water wash away the day’s tension. By the time I climbed into bed, my limbs felt heavy, my mind pleasantly numb.

As I settled into the soft sheets, I pulled out my phone to call Ella. Her voice chirped through the line almost immediately, wanting to know everything.

"So... how’s the Ivory Crescent Pack?" she asked, her tone full of mischief. "Tell me everything."

I laughed softly, the day catching up with me. "It’s... grand. And the family is much warmer than I thought. I mean, they’re nothing like what I imagined."

Ella snickered. "So, no crazy pack politics or brooding Alphas chasing you around?"

"Well, there’s Snow..." I teased, my voice trailing off as I yawned.

Ella’s laugh echoed through the line. "Oh, I bet. And speaking of your brooding Alpha, how’s that going?"

As soon as she said that, her tone changed. I recalled how everything played out the last time she saw him.

I literally, basically, put her in trouble with him with my careless decision when Snow used his Alpha aura to intimidate me.

I could barely keep my eyes open now. "He’s... Snow. Kiss, hot, he..." I stuttered a few nothings and finally reopened my eyes when my head pushed down from the pillow.

Holding onto my phone, I yawned and glanced at the screen. Oh, Ella was still on call. What were we talking about? Oh... Snow.

"You know how he is."

Ella burst into an uproar of laughter. "Zara, you’re hopeless," she teased. "Get some sleep. We’ll talk tomorrow."

"Kiss her, kiss!" Glacier chanted inwardly.
