Chapter 11: Thanks
**************
Chapter 11
~Zara's POV~
The ride back home was quiet like before which I found a little upsetting.
I knew he had a lot to ask me but kept quiet. Was he waiting for me to open up myself?
Snow...
The tension hummed between us. While his silence was one thing, I had another matter to think of... my wolf.
Astrid was forced to the surface when his wolf's aura pushed out before. Ever since our third rebirth, she'd been on a low but just now... it felt as though she was eagerly telling him of her presence while being in approval of our chosen husband.
As soon as we arrived, standing at the porch of the house, I turned to Snow. "Thanks for the ride," I mumbled, reaching for the door handle.
But before I could step in after opening the door, Snow's hand wrapped around my wrist and he pulled me back. His grip was firm but not rough.
I stumbled slightly but caught myself quickly, my body pressing against his and his gaze locked onto mine—intense and unwavering.
