Chapter 250
~Zara’s POV~
The soft rays of morning sunlight peeked through the sheer curtains, painting the room in a lively, warm hue.
I blinked awake, my body heavy from the toll of recent events. mories from the night before swirled in my mind—Snow’s questions, Kaid’s interruptions, and the secrets I carried.
A knock at the door pulled from my thoughts.
"Co in," I called, sitting up slowly.
A maid entered and bowed her head. Her deanour was calm and professional. "Good morning, Lady Zara. His Majesty has requested that you be moved to your private chambers today. I’ve co to assist with the transition."
My brow furrowed. "Private chambers?"
"Yes," the maid said with a polite smile. "The King thought you’d prefer a quieter, more secluded space to rest and rec1qover."
I sighed, unsure how I felt about Kaid’s constant need to intervene. But before I could dwell on it, the maid began gathering my belongings and I decided not to argue. Maybe a change in environnt would do so good.
By the ti Snow arrived at the room I had vacated, I was already seated on the balcony of my new chambers, overlooking the sprawling Lycan Palace grounds. The view was breathtaking. Rolling hills stretched as far as the eye could see, the forests dense and teeming with life.
The palace itself was a marvel—ornate stone carvings adorned its walls, and the golden spires glead under the morning sun. It was held a different comparison to Snow’s mansion. This was regal, imposing, and almost otherworldly.
I spent the better part of the morning exploring the room and its attached anities before settling on the balcony with a glass of raspberry wine. As I sipped, my thoughts wandered back to the night I t Siona and the revelation she had shared.
A witchy heritage and my rebirth.
I swirled the wine in my glass as everything pressed down on . How would Snow react if I told him? Would he see as a danger? A stranger? Or would he accept , flaws and all?
Snow’s words from the previous night echoed in my mind: "I know she’s the one you t the night you went missing."
He was already suspicious, and I hated keeping things from him. Yet, I couldn’t shake the fear that this truth might drive a wedge between us.
"He deserves to know," Astrid’s voice whispered in my mind, breaking the silence.
"I know," I murmured, setting the glass down.
"Then tell him, Zara. You’ve been through so much together. If anyone can understand, it’s him. Give him the benefit of the doubt."
I knew Astid was right but deep down, there was this kind of fear that enveloped . I never told anyone. Not in the second life either.
"I’m afraid, Astrid," I admitted. "What if he can’t handle it?"
"What more do you stand to lose by trying? You’ve already faced death, betrayal, and enemies who would see you destroyed. Trusting Snow might be the least dangerous choice you’ve made so far."
"You are right. It’s the least dangerous and well, this should also test his love for ."
"Exactly. Besides, he’s got Glacier. I doubt he’s ever gonna let Snow discard you."
"Well, okay. Let’s do that then."
I sighed, leaning back in my chair. Astrid wasn’t wrong. Snow had proven ti and again that his loyalty to was unshakable. Maybe it was ti I started trusting him with my deepest fears.
A sudden knock at the door interrupted my thoughts.
"Co in," I said, sitting up straighter.
The door opened, and Snow stepped in, his presence filling the room instantly. His eyes scanned the space before landing on .
"He... he moved you without informing ," Snow stated rather ask, his voice tight as he fought to control his growl.
I shook my head, a small smile tugging at my lips. "Hon, I know you have questions. If you want to discuss them with , you’ll need to leave your anger and jealousy at the door."
His jaw tightened, but I continued before he could interrupt. "Thankfully, there’s been no Kaid since morning, so you have nothing to worry about. This change in environnt has actually helped think."
His expression softened slightly, but worry flashed in his eyes as he rushed to my side in a heartbeat. He knelt before , his hands cupping my face as he searched my eyes.
"You haven’t recovered fully," he said, his voice laced with concern. "You needed rest, not this thinking..."
I smacked his hands away gently, eting his gaze with a firm look. "This is exactly why I didn’t mind-link you. You need to calm down, Snow. I need you to be at your best, not clouded by anger or overprotectiveness."
His shoulders sagged slightly, but he didn’t pull away. "Zara, I can’t help it. Seeing you hurt, knowing you’re carrying all this weight—it drives insane."
"I know," I said softly, placing my hand over his. "But I’m here now, Snow. I’m safe. And I need you to trust to take care of myself too. Well, sotis," I added, knowing he could point out the tis I was in danger and he wasn’t wrong. I was still learning to avoid dangers and I wanted the best for myself and Snow.
He nodded slowly, though the tension in his body didn’t fully dissipate. "Alright. But you have to promise sothing."
"What?"
"No more secrets," he said firmly, his eyes locking onto mine. "Whatever it is you’re keeping from , I want to know. We’ll face it together."
My breath hitched, and for a mont, I considered telling him everything right then and there. But the words caught in my throat.
"I promise," I said instead
Snow seed to sense my hesitation, but he didn’t press. Instead, he stood and pulled into a gentle embrace.
"Whatever it is," he murmured into my hair, "we’ll figure it out. I’m not going anywhere, Zara."
I clung to him, the weight of his words both comforting and terrifying. Because deep down, I knew that once the truth ca out, there would be no going back.
"Okay. Here it is. Snow, I’m a witch."
"W-wait, what?"
"And I am reborn."
He stayed still, his mind probably trying to process all I said. "And it’s my third rebirth."
