Chapter 62
~Zara’s POV~
Snow’s voice was warm, and without hesitation, I followed him down the hill, weaving through the trees as we ran together, faster and faster, until the world blurred around us.
We stopped in a secluded part of the forest, far from the pack house and mating ground for the others.
Snow transford back into his human form, and I followed suit. But the mont I looked up and our eyes t, I realized—both of us were completely naked.
For a second, my body froze, heat flooding through . My hormones surged, every part of tingling with an undeniable pull. Instinctively, I covered my breasts with one arm and placed my other hand over my groin, turning around quickly.
"Ahh, don’t look!" I shouted, mortified.
Snow chuckled softly, his voice teasing. "How can I not when the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen is standing naked right before ?"
My face flad with embarrassnt, and I muttered a string of curses under my breath. But before I could move, I felt Snow step closer.
"Snow!" I snapped, still turned away from him. But deep down, Astrid was urging to turn, to flaunt my womanly beauty at him and more to take a peek at that beauty between his legs, Ella was so sure were big enough to satisfy any woman.
Just at the thought of Ella’s words, my entire brain was already begging to look.
"Zara, relax," he said gently, taking hold of my hand. "Co with ."
I hesitated, but sothing in his voice cald , and I followed his lead, still shielding myself as best I could.
Snow led through the trees until we reached a small shack hidden among the trees. In the night, I could barely make out the colour. Snow pushed open the door and led inside.
I didn’t fight it. At least it was a million tis better than being outside and one of the pack mbers seeing naked. Once inside, Snow rummaged through a cabinet, tossing a simple, flowing dress. "Here, put this on."
I stared at him, surprised. "You always prepare for situations like this?"
Snow flashed a grin. "It doesn’t hurt to be prepared, Zara."
I quickly slipped into the dress, feeling slightly more at ease now that I wasn’t completely exposed. Snow pulled on a pair of shorts and a button-down t-shirt, leaving his entire chest and abs open and we stepped back outside.
We walked side by side, the tension between us still thick, but sothing had shifted. There was an understanding now, a connection we couldn’t deny.
As we neared the pack house, I suddenly felt a sharp wave of heat wash over , stronger than before when our shoulders brushed. I stopped in my tracks, leaning against a tree for support, my body trembling.
Sensing sothing was wrong, Snow stopped and turned to . Concern flickered in his eyes. "What’s wrong?"
I struggled to find the words to explain what was going on. Instead, my mind beca a blur of sensations. But before I could respond, Snow stepped closer, his hand brushing against my cheek.
"Aaaah~" A soft moan escaped my lips and I bit back the urge to do more, biting down hard on my lower lips.
"Hey, don’t do that," Snow chided as he pulled my lip from my teeth using his thumb.
I opened my mouth to respond, but the words got stuck in my throat. My body felt hot, too hot, and the closer he got, the more intense it beca.
My skin prickled as the heat surged, and before I knew it, I took a step back, retreating from him instinctively till I was completely pressed against the tree.
Snow frowned, his aura spiking slightly, and I felt the ripple of his power wash over .
It wasn’t aggressive—yet—but it was enough to make Astrid stir even more, her instincts screaming to rise to the surface.
"Zara, I’ll repeat, what is wrong?"
"I don’t know," I admitted, my voice shaky as I t his gaze. "I just... sothing’s different. I don’t know what it is, but I can’t—"
I didn’t get to finish. His scent hit like a wave—spice and pine, with the faintest hint of danger—and it sent my body into overdrive.
My breath hitched, my knees weakening as a rush of warmth spread through . Damn him, and damn this mating season.
Snow’s expression changed the second he sensed my shift. His eyes darkened, and I saw Glacier flash in them, eager, almost wild. His wolf was reacting to mine. The pull was undeniable now.
"Zara..." His voice was rougher, lower like he was trying to restrain himself.
I could feel my control slipping as my pheromones spiked, mixing with his in a way that was far too intoxicating.
My heart pounded in my chest as my skin burnt with need. I wanted him. And that thought hit hard, but I couldn’t deny it. I wanted Snow in a way that was primal, raw, and undeniable.
Without thinking, I stepped back, but before I could escape, Snow’s hand shot out, grabbing my wrist. The mont his skin touched mine, a surge of electricity jolted through , and I gasped as my knees buckled.
Snow was there in an instant, pulling into his arms before I could fall. His grip was strong, but it wasn’t just his hold that had weak—it was everything about him. The pull, the heat, the way his aura wrapped around mine, consuming .
I looked up at him, my breathing ragged, and our eyes locked. There was no mistaking the hunger in his gaze now. It was the sa hunger I felt burning inside .
"Snow..." I whispered, but my words faded as his lips hovered just inches from mine.
"Don’t fight it, Zara," he murmured, breathing his warm breath on my skin. "Let it happen."
I didn’t have ti to respond before his lips were on mine, claiming them with a fierce, desperate hunger that sent shivers down my spine.
