CHAPTER 331
~Zara's POV~
As firm as his voice was, I could feel the weight behind it. Then, without another word, Snow turned and walked away.
I blinked and immediately followed after him.
"Snow!" I called, my voice sharper than I intended but Snow didn't stop. "Snow!" I reached out, grabbing his wrist. Luckily, that made him pause. He turned slightly, his face unreadable.
I swallowed hard. "What happened?"
Snow's jaw clenched. "Ivan won't bother you again."
"Did you…?" I hesitated, recalling how angry he was when he left. "Did you kill him?"
Snow held my gaze, then shook his head. "No. But I wish I had. I wish I had been the one to do it and not fate."
I exhaled, my grip on his wrist tightening before I slowly let go.
"It's over now," I murmured.
Snow's expression remained hard, but something in his posture eased.
"For now," he said quietly.
