Chapter 261
~Snow’s POV~
Zara’s comment about Kaid’s allure stirred something primal in me. The thought of that Lycan King trying to manipulate her, even with a hint of charm, made Glacier growl in the back of my mind.
I reached out instinctively, pulling her closer and removing any space between us.
"Zara, you know I’d never let anyone—especially Kaid—try to control you like that. Allure or no allure."
Her eyes softened and I could see a hint of amusement dancing in their depths. "I know, Snow," she said gently, placing her hands on my chest. "I wasn’t worried. You’re always there to protect me."
I relaxed slightly, the tension in my shoulders easing as I held her gaze. "It’s not just about protection," I admitted. "You mean everything to me, Zara. I don’t trust Kaid’s intentions, but as long as I’m here, he won’t touch what’s mine."
A faint blush crept into her cheeks, and her lips curved into a small smile. "So... I’m yours, am I?" she teased lightly.
"Always. From the moment we mated, there’s been no one else in my world but you."
Her smile deepened, and she leaned her head against my chest, her body relaxing into mine. I wrapped my arms around her, resting my chin on the top of her head as we stood there.
