Chapter 61
~Zara’s POV~
A loud, warning growl vibrated in the air and sent shivers down my spine. I lowered my head in shame. I had spoken out of turn or should I say, speak without thinking.
Urgh!
"I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. Just that most people won’t see it the way you do, and it will tarnish your image and the pack’s further."
I tried to reason with him in a manner that wouldn’t be seen as offensive. I didn’t want him to believe I wasn’t on his side when, in fact, I was. But I cared—more than I admitted—I cared for Snow and his family.
His chest rose and fell with ragged breath. Just as he was about to speak, the other wolves had come out, ready and eager, waiting for the peak of the mating season. Snow sensed the shift in the air and turned back to me, his expression softening.
"I’m sorry too. Want to meet someone?" he asked, his tone lighter now. "There’s someone eager to meet you officially. Care to see something truly magnificent?"
I blinked, confused by his sudden change in demeanour. "Who?"
Snow took a step back, his hands spreading wide, a smirk playing on his lips. "Say hello, wifey."
Snow’s deep voice sent a shiver through me, but it was what happened next that left me frozen in awe.
A powerful growl tore through the air, reverberating through the clearing like thunder. The next second, before my very eyes, Snow transformed into his wolf form. His pure white fur like a crystal lattice on a snow burst forth, spreading over his body in a rapid, graceful flow.
Muscles expanded beneath that pristine coat, his form growing until he stood as an impossibly massive wolf, towering over me. I gasped, completely mesmerized.
The moonlight reflected off his coat, making him appear almost ethereal.
His blue eyes, those piercing aqua-blue orbs I had come to know so well, now sparkled even brighter, like pools of liquid sapphire against the snowy white of his fur. Every detail was perfect—majestic, powerful, and commanding.
I stood in awe, unable to move, barely able to breathe. I had never seen anything like this. The sheer size of him, the raw power radiating from his every move—it was both terrifying and utterly captivating.
Then his eyes locked onto mine, and I felt something deeper stir within me. His presence was overwhelming, but it wasn’t just Snow looking at me. It was something more.
A strong but familiar voice echoed in my mind. "Zara, meet Glacier. He’s been dying to meet you."
My breath hitched—Glacier. Snow’s wolf. Without an introduction, I knew but still, it felt both like a different person and still the same person all at once.
"Glacier, meet Astrid." Through our mind link, I introduced them.
