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?"
