Chapter 336

~Zara’s POV~

Warmth spread through me at his words, but I kept driving as my heart raced with anticipation.

Finally, after a few more minutes of driving, we reached it—our spot.

The same place where we had our first real moment together. Where we had watched the stars and talked like the world wasn’t out to tear us apart.

But tonight, it was even more magical.

I had planned this for weeks, making sure everything was perfect.

Soft blankets were spread across the grass, surrounded by lanterns that flickered gently in the night breeze. A bottle of wine sat next to two glasses, and fairy lights had been strung between the low-hanging branches, casting a warm, blue and golden glow over the clearing.

Snow stopped in his tracks, his eyes scanning the scene before turning back to me, stunned.

"Zara..." His voice was quieter now, filled with something deeper than surprise.

I bit my lip, suddenly feeling shy. "I wanted tonight to be special. For you. For us."

Snow exhaled slowly, his gaze never leaving mine. "You didn’t have to do all this." His hand gestured towards my surprise. "I should be the one spoiling you."

I reached for his hand, lacing my fingers through his. "I wanted to because you’re always there for me—spoiling me, shielding me, risking everything for my safety, and ensuring my well-being. Tonight, I wanted to do something for you."

His grip tightened, and without another word, he pulled me into his arms, holding me so close it felt like he was trying to merge our souls together. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

I buried my face in his chest, inhaling his familiar scent. "There’s more," I murmured against him.

Snow pulled back just enough to look at me, a smirk playing at his lips. "More?"

I laughed, shaking my head. "Come on, sit."

He let me lead him to the blankets, and once we were seated, I reached into my bag and pulled out a small, carefully wrapped box.

Snow eyed it curiously. "What’s this?"

I placed it in his hands, my heart pounding. "Open it."

He peeled away the wrapping with deliberate slowness, his gaze flickering to mine as if savouring the anticipation.

Then he lifted the lid.

His breath hitched.

A handcrafted silver cuff bracelet sat inside the box—sleek, simple, and powerful.

But what made it truly special was what was engraved on the inside.

"Wherever you go, I will follow. Always."

Snow was completely still, his thumb tracing the inscription, his expression unreadable. For the first time ever, I saw Snow Zephyr speechless.

"Zara..." His voice was rough and low.

I broke the kiss and stared into his eyes, his pupils blown wide.

"Snow," I breathed, my body reacting to the fire blazing within his eyes.

"Yes?"

"Let’s continue this somewhere more private." Snow tilted his head to the side, not quite getting me. "I mean, you wouldn’t want your wife naked, outside, on a hill, right?"

He shook his head. "Good. I prepared something.

Holding his hand, we moved farther from our picnic spot. A few minutes walk, we came upon a clearing to a big camping tent.

Snow’s eyebrows arched upwards, a smirk gracing his lips. "You planned this too, huh?"

"Maybe," I answered with a shrug.

Snow laughed. "And what if someone comes here looking for us?"

"Well, they’ll get an eyeful," I responded, winking.

I had nothing to worry about considering Ihad made sure everything for tonight was perfect, down to asking Draven for a few warriors to be on patrol that night around the perimeter in case of Thorned Crescent scums showed their ugly faces.

He smiled, leaning in and whispering in my ear, his voice husky. "Let them. They’ll know my goddess has the most beautiful lover."

"Flatterer," I teased.

"Only for you," Snow admitted, placing a soft kiss on my temple.

Before I could find my comeback retort, Snow scooped me in his arms and carried me bridal style into the tent. "Come, let’s go in."
