Chapter 57

~Zara’s POV~

Yesterday was a bomb! If I do say so myself. I had a good time and by the time I woke up, Snow was nowhere to be seen.

My first thought was, did he sleep in here or was he overly tasked?

When I glanced at my side and noticed the slight rumpling of the pillow, my guess was dead confirmed.

He slept here last night and got up first thing. As much as I felt ashamed of that fact, I tossed it to the back of my mind.

Today was the day!

The summer mating season had always been a big deal for werewolves. Every pack hosted events for young wolves to find their mates, guided by the pull of the moon and the surge of pheromones in the air.

I was eager to see what the Ivory Crescent Pack’s event was like and at the same time, not stoked considering till now, I never found my mate.

Breakfast went by quickly, with most of the family members breezing in to get a bite of something before dashing off.

I later learned Snow and his parents were dining together while discussing politics and securing their territory.

I had to admit it, though: I was already missing Snow’s presence, our banter or teasing, and his kiss.

My mind flashed back to the dream I had of him kissing me and my face became hot.

No doubt I was blushing. I glanced around quickly but noticed none of the attendants were watching me.

Good.

’Now I can eat without anyone seeing me blush to myself.

Once done, I headed upstairs to bathe and prepare for tonight, helping out where ai was needed until the afternoon when Storm found me.

"Zara!"

I spun, my eyes locking on his small form as he raced down the hallway to me. He fell into my embrace, and I immediately picked him up in my arms and twirled around.

"Hello, little Storm."

"Zara! Zara! Want to go check out my room now? Yesterday Mum said you were busy and tired but you still went out with them." His expression was silken within seconds. "Don’t you want to play with me anymore, or are you still mad because I told you I did not need petting before?"

He glanced at me with those puppy dog eyes; it almost became unbearable for me to watch him.

My heart clenched at the sight and now I knew why seeing Snow that morning made me feel bad.

God, I couldn’t say no to such a cutie pie.

"Nonsense." I pecked his cheek and the other and moved to dishing out kisses all over his face till he was a blushing shy mess.

"See, Aunt Zara loves you."

"Yes, I believe so. Now come, come, let me show you to my room. Onwards!"

I chuckled and followed the path I saw him running from when Storm suddenly facepalmed.

"Aunty Zara, you have no sense of direction, Capitan! The direction is that way."

"But you said onwards this way," I reasoned.

Storm froze mid-sentence, thinking of his next line when he lifted his chin and crossed both arms in front of his chest. "I... I was just checking to see if my Capitan truly knew the direction of the sea and I was right. You are lost without me."

I chuckled. I loved how he pronounced captain as Capitan for effect. I did a pretend salute, thickening my voice and mimicking Snow. "Aye aye, captain. I am nothing without you!"
