Chapter 466
Snowflakes
He kissed me, held me beneath the cold night but nothing about the night fek cold anymore.
It was warm.
The ache was gone, and all that mattered was him and me tangled in his arms.
Finished
He stole my breath, and when he finally broke the kiss, I gasped for air, clinging to him even as he sat and drew me back onto his lap.
I held on, my lips at his neck, feeling him close again, fulfilled by his attention, his hold, his tenderness.
Silence stretched around us, and I focused only on him, the fresh scent of his skin, the tiny gemstone stud glinting at his ear, the sharp cut of his jaw.
Softly, I kissed his cheek. He turned his head, leaving me no choice but to brush my lips over his again. My fingers trailed down his chest, going lower beneath his shirt to feel the warm, solid strength of him. “You work out?” I murmured, and he nodded, tucking a strand of my hair back gently.
“Three days a month. My dad is strict about training,” he murmured, kissing me lightly before searching my eyes. “You want to tell me how this happened to your health?”
The question made me swallow, tension coiling tight,
I wondered what he would think of Ares. If anger would flare.
“It’s… it’s just been there,” I whispered, gaze dropping to avoid the truth. “I keep zoning out. I disappear from reality for seconds or minutes. The doctor says my brain is shrinking. They believe removing the womb will stop the decline. I might go into a coma if I don’t.”
Silence settled heavy after my words, and I feared he would ask who caused it but instead he asked,
“You like pups?”
Slowly, I lifted my gaze to him.
“Yes. You don’t… want them?”
He sighed, looking toward the empty space ahead, shaking his head.
“I don’t know. I already have too many people to take care of, too much responsibility. I barely have time for myself. I want to be a good father… but I’m scared I’ll be the opposite.”
Gently, I touched his cheek and turned his face toward mine, pressing my lips to him softly.
“I don’t know you well yet,” I whispered, “but my gut says you’d be the best father. Maybe strict but the
best.”

“Then don’t do it,” he said quietly and I froze.
Even knowing what he meant, I still breathed,
“W… what?”
“The surgery. Don’t take out your womb.”
“Cupid…”
“You said you haven’t transformed yet, right?”
I nodded slowly.
“Yes. The priestess said my first shift will happen after I meet my mate.”
“You know the first transformation brings deep healing. Once your wolf awakens, you’ll be stronger and healthier. You know that.”
His words made my heart slam against my ribs.
I knew he was right.
“Cupid…”
“How long did the doctor say you have before coma if untreated?”
“I… didn’t ask.”
“Then you should,” he answered. “And talk to your brothers and your father. Removing your womb is irreversible. Those who called you barren will be proven right if you do it.”
“But… I’ll keep zoning out,” I whispered, tears burning at my lashes.
He drew me closer, tender, grounding.
“It will be hard, but once you find your mate, it will stop. Let’s try first. If nothing changes, if there’s truly no alternative then we consider the surgery. Zoning out is terrifying, yes, but we’ll find an anchor, something to pull you back when you drift. What do you think?”
I couldn’t think.
My mind was blank.
All I could do was stare at him, wondering if he was real, if this feeling wasn’t just imagination.
I love how he make it sounded like this is our problem and we have to tackle it together.
I searched his green eyes, leaning toward him, ready to draw strength from his ips when footsteps
sounded ahead.
I jolted off his lap as the door to the backyard opened. My lungs emptied when Roc stepped through

I bit my lip as Roc paused, staring, his brows knitting.
“Roc…” I started, ready to explain until he cut me off gently.
“What are you doing out here alone?”
Cold rushed through me.
I turned to the bench to see it empty.
I blinked, stunned.
Was it all… imagined?
“Snow?” Roc’s voice came closer, and I turned to him, swallowing hard as he looked down at me in worry. “You okay?”
I nodded, not wanting to frighten him.
He took my wrist, guiding me into a warm embrace before turning me toward the halt.
“Let’s get you inside. We have something to talk about.”
I let him lead me but at the doorway. I slowed and glanced back one last time.
And I saw it. Swift but undeniable.
Cupid vaulted over the fence perimeter like he was born to trespass, and relief nearly made me smile.
It wasn’t imagination. It was real.
That sweetness stayed in me until my ward door opened and I froze.
My brothers were inside waiting, too serious, too silent.
“You shouldn’t have gone to the backyard alone. Your best friend was scared. She called us instantly,” Kashi scolded gently, pulling me into an embrace. I sighed into his chest, bracing myself.
When he let go, he exhaled.
