CHAPTER 393
~Snow's POV~
Shocked by my reaction, Vera froze, her expression shattering. "Snow—"
I took another step back, my chest rising and falling rapidly. "Don't. I told you—I chose Zara. I always will."
"Snow…"
Fresh tears rolled down her cheeks, but I stilled my heart towards them. I couldn't lose my Zara over the Moon Goddess's overgenerous mistake called gift.
"Also, never, ever in your life, do what you did yesterday again. It was a mistake, and it should not have happened. I am no cheat."
Her lips trembled, but I didn't stay to watch whatever excuse she was about to give.
I turned on my heel and walked out, slamming the door behind me.
I needed to get out of there.
I needed Zara.

~Snow's POV~
The next morning, I barely had time to gather my thoughts before I got a message from Zade.
"Meet us at Golden God's house. Now."
No pleasantries. No explanation. Just a demand.
