CHAPTER 25
-Zara’s POV~
For a moment, I saw a flicker of something in his eyes -surprise, maybe, or even guilt–but it was quickly masked by anger.
He took a step closer, his presence looming over me. I instinctively took a step back, but I kept my gaze locked on his, refusing to back down.
Our steps continued as if in sync until we got half way
into the room.
“Is this how you want to play it?” His voice was low and dangerous. The storm in his eyes brewing stronger.
I shrugged, not answering his question and that irked him further.
Snow’s eyes burned into mine, his rage was barely
contained.
“Zara!” he barked, his voice sharper this time, cleaning

the smug smile from my face. His jaw clenched and I
noticed his hands balling into fists at his sides. “Are you going to answer me? Or should I assume what
everyone is saying is true?”
“Seeing as you came barging in here, I presume we already have you concluding on an answer. So what use is asking me?”
He hesitated, my words had hit home. Snow breathed, calming his anger briefly. “Are you cheating on me,
Zara?”
I didn’t flinch. “Are you banging Zoe?”
His eyes flashed with fury, but I didn’t stop. “Oh, I’m sorry, that’s none of my business, is it?” I continued, placing my hands on my hips, leaning forward slightly. “Because, according to you, things don’t work like that. You don’t owe me any explanations, right?”
“Zara, don’t push me,” Snow warned, his voice tight with frustration. I could see his control slipping and for a moment, I felt a surge of satisfaction. But it was
short–lived.
Suddenly, something shifted in the air between us. His eyes, still filled with anger, darkened in a way that sent

a shiver down my spine. I saw Glacier pushing to the surface, hungry and eager.
He wanted something, and I knew exactly what it was.
Snow swallowed hard, as if fighting to keep his wolf at bay. His gaze flickered to the neckline of my robe, which had slipped slightly during our exchange. His eyes lingered on my exposed skin as the tension between us built by the second.
He took a step forward and I instinctively took another step back.
My heart thudded as I tried to keep my distance. But ‘he didn’t stop. Snow kept moving, each step bringing
him closer, his eyes never leaving mine. I could feel the heat radiating from his body.
And for a moment I felt Astrid stir awake within me. I froze momentarily.
I was maad at him and now wasn’t a time to action our
wolves attraction. @
“Snow…” I warned even though my voice faltered, but before I could take another step, I felt my heel slip
against the water droplet on the polished floor from
my wet hair.

I stumbled, my body lurching backward as I lost my balance.
But before I could hit the ground, Snow’s arms shot out, catching me effortlessly.
His grip was strong, his arms wrapping securely around my waist as he pulled me against his chest. For
a moment, neither of us moved, both of us frozen in
the sudden intimacy of the moment.
His face was inches from mine, his breath hot against my skin. I could feel the rapid rise and fall of his chest, building the tension between us.
‘Unfortunately for me, it seemed the universe was
against me as the next nmoment, my robe had shifted even further, revealing the curve of my cleavage to his hungry gaze.
Glacier growled, forcing Snow’s hand. I saw the way his eyes darkened as they flicked downward, his control slipping even more.
My own breath hitched as I felt the heat of his body pressed against mine. Despite the anger, despite the chaos around us, there was something undeniable in the way his hands gripped my waist, in the way his

eyes bore into mine.
I could feel the unspoken desires pulling us closer, even as I tried to resist. For all sensless and sensible
reasons, Astrid wanted him even though he was a douchebag.
“Zara…” he whispered, his resolve hanging by a thread.
Before I could respond, a sudden noise broke through the silence. The door pushed further open and I heard the clicking of cameras before I even registered what was happening.
My heart dropped as I turned my head, my eyes. ‘widening in shock.
A handful of reporters stood in the doorway, their cameras flashing, capturing the exact moment Snow had me in his arms, my robe barely covering my body.
Only one word echoed in my mind…FUCK!
They hadn’t seen Snow’s face. As such they further confirmed the rumours and I knew by tomorrow, more of the news would be broadcasted.
I could see the headlines already forming in their eyes. Caught in the Act: Zara Zarek’s Scandalous Affair.

But I didn’t have time to process it. He must have
sensed my fear as the next words he uttered, left me spoeechless.
“Watch, wifey. Your hubby would protect you.” He smirked long enough for me to register that I needed him. “But at a cost.”
I frowned. This was going to affect him as much as it affected me. He shrugged. “I’m a businessman, wifey. Need my help.. It comes with a price.”
I barely gave a nod when he whispered, ‘deal‘ to me and carried on.
Snow’s grip on me tightened, his gaze snapping to the reporters, fury blazing in his eyes. Without a word, he straightened, pulling me closer to him as if to shield
me from the cameras.
“Out,” Snow commanded in a lethal tone. The reporters hesitated, iritating him further. At once his eyes blazed red, Glacier’s aura filling the room as the froze in place. “Out!”
Sensing the danger, they scurried out of the room, the door slamming shut behind them.
The sound of their ranaading fontstane brought a

smile to my lips but the silence that followed was suffocating.
Snow still held me close, his eyes flashed a dangerous. glint.
I gulped, unsure of how to break free but Snow’s next move made matters worse. “My payments wifey.”
I could barely think of my escape word when Snow’s lips descended on mine.
