I guess there's nothing stopping Zane from following Nadia to Shadow Worth, but he probably wouldn't be allowed into the castle and forced away. I guess you could have a heartbreaking scene where they're torn from each other at the gates or something, but it doesn't seem plausible to me to have a male gem (or any gem not Reaped) around for the claiming. :/ Maybe he'll hang around the castle and catch a glimpse of her husband when they leave for his holding, but that won't be until the next day, as everyone spends the night at Shadow Worth before leaving. 

Drakken are assholes, man.

Yea, that's about what I thought would happen. Zane's not going to try and get into Shadow Worth, once he says goodbye to Nadia he's going to move on to his trade route through Drakka.
