Chapter 275: Wanting You

Chapter 275
~Zara’s POV~
It had been two days since Ella arrived, and I had barely seen Snow, and between tending to Ella, unpacking her things, and keeping up with my duties, time with my husband had been limited. Truth be told, I missed him.
But Snow had been distant too—something was off. Maybe it was everything that happened with my kidnapping, Kaid’s palace, or even the ominous message from Xavier about the Shadow Clave.
Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his quietness.
That evening, as I finally stepped away from Ella to catch my breath, I decided to check on him. Snow was nowhere in sight when I entered our room, but the soft glow of the balcony lights caught my attention.
I padded over silently, masking my scent as I approached while Snow stood there, his broad frame silhouetted against the twilight, his gaze fixed on the gardens below.
His hands gripped the railing, and his shoulders were tense, a weight visible in every line of his body.
Without a word, I slipped behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist, pressing my cheek against his back. "Hey," I whispered.
Snow stiffened for a moment, then relaxed under my touch. He turned slowly, his icy blue eyes softening as they met mine. Without a word, he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close.
