Chapter 70

~Zara’s POV~

By the time he emerged, both of us were refreshed and dressed. Snow was in his usual dark jeans and fitted shirt, and I opted for a simple single-strap summer dress that flowed easily around my legs.

We headed downstairs, my heart a little lighter than it had been in the last few weeks. That lightness, however, quickly disappeared when we stepped into the dining hall.

The large table was set for breakfast, and to my horror, the entire family was present. Instinctively, I glanced at my watch to check the time. It was already 10:43 a.m., but none had eaten.

Snow’s parents, Alpha Storm and Luna Star, were seated at the head of the table, while Aira and Tempest sat beside them, their heads leaned close together, whispering and giggling. But the moment we walked in, all eyes turned toward us.

Aira and Tempest exchanged knowing smirks, and I felt my cheeks heat up immediately. But it was little Storm sitting between them that broke the silence.

"Daddy Snow! Zara!" he called out, his innocent eyes wide with curiosity. "Why do you both have matching scattered marks on your necks? I want one too."

My heart stopped, and I could practically feel the blood rush to my cheeks. I instinctively raised my hand to my neck, fingers brushing over the scattered marks left from last night’s activities.

Oh, God.

Tempest burst into a fit of giggles, nudging Aira, who tried and failed to stifle her laughter.

I caught sight of Luna Star chuckling as she smiled at me.

"You two decided to keep everyone awake all night, huh?" Alpha Storm questioned.

I bit my inner lips, but Snow, however, was completely unfazed. He smirked, pulling me into the seat next to him at the table.

"It was the mating season, was it not?" he said casually, leaning back in his chair. "It’s only right I show everyone how it’s done, Father."

Alpha Storm, who had been sipping his coffee, nearly choked, setting his cup down with a glare directed at Snow. "You could’ve shown them a little quieter."

The entire table erupted in laughter, except me. I was busy trying to sink into my seat, wishing the ground would swallow me whole.

"Ignore them, dear," Luna Star said softly from across the table, her warm eyes on me. "Just happy you had a nice time, Zara."

I managed a small smile, thankful for her kind words, though I could feel Snow’s gaze still burning into me. "They get wild, I know," she continued, glancing at her son with amusement. "He is, after all, his father’s son. Welcome to the family."

I blushed even more as Snow chuckled, leaning in to whisper in my ear, "See, even my mother approves."

Before I could respond, Aira’s soft voice cut through the laughter, and the mood in the room suddenly shifted.

"You’re lucky to have someone," she said quietly, her eyes distant as she stared down at her plate. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

"Scared?!" Tempest’s voice rose, her fists slamming onto the table, rattling the silverware. "That jerk already did enough! Look at what he put you through!"
