CHAPTER 451
~Zara's POV~
The soft creak of the bathroom door drew my attention, and I turned just as Snow stepped out, toweling the last drops of water from his damp black hair.
He looked… better. Stronger, although lightly pale, still healing, but not the ghost I found lying on that bed several minutes ago.
He wore a fresh black shirt and dark grey joggers—ones I instantly recognised.
Those were Kaid's.
They hugged him a little more snugly than I expected, and for a second, I tilted my head.
"Did you… grow?" I muttered, taking in the fit.
Snow gave a small chuckle as he adjusted the collar. "Kaid's clothes?" He smirked. "Feels a little tighter than I thought they'd be, but I'll survive."
I smiled faintly, crossing my arms. "That's the Alpha aura returning."
"Maybe," he muttered, glancing down at himself. Then his eyes met mine again, more focused. "Where's Kaid? I need to thank him. He saved me… which is different from the kind of reaction he portrayed."
