CHAPTER 74
~Snow's POV~
Koda's face twisted in pain, and I felt a flash of sympathy for him. It was obvious how he cared for Aira—how he felt for her.
"What? Go back? Why?" His eyes widened in hurt and disbelief, and I could see the raw emotion behind them. "What did I do wrong, Aira? Talk to me! Please."
"You did nothing wrong, Koda. It's just... it's not going to work between us. It was nice the brief moment of peace you showed me but… but it's not working."
"What isn't working?" He stepped closer, trying to grab her hand again, but Aira pulled back, her voice rising with desperation.
"Everything. It's not working. Just leave, Koda. Please."
"But—"
I couldn't stand by any longer. I hated to see Aira hurt and now he was hurting her. Not in a bad way but I could see she understood his love for her but she wasn't ready to accept him.
