Luis nodded looking at Caroline's eyes, who looked sad, his thoughts in turmoil at the moment. However, the fact that he had just heard he couldn't just ignore it, was like an absurd thing but it was real to his cousin.
Reincarnated, Luis doesn't believe in smelling things like that. But he believed that it was said directly by Caroline. His hand moved to grab the hair that covered the beautiful face, again he didn't know what to say to Caroline.
But he wanted Caroline not to feel bad for the way he was now, Luis breathed out staring right at Caroline's blue beads. Why did he feel the feeling of fear, exactly what he was thinking now?
Luis shook his head quickly trying to get rid of the bad thoughts that filled his head. It felt like something was making him so afraid of losing Caroline, but Luis immediately brushed it off with a hand that touched Caroline's shoulder.
"Sorry.., I was just thinking about unnecessary things earlier," said Luis feeling guilty, he looked at Caroline who also looked back at him.
Has he gone too far, ah.. I think so. But Luis also needs time to understand everything that Caroline said earlier "but, would you accept something like that?"
Finally, this question appears too! Caroline immediately smiled faintly at Luis with a calm look "well... I can't seem to refuse either"
Caroline is just trying not to burden her cousin, she wants Luis to know the truth about herself only. She didn't expect Luis to interfere in this fate, let him just go his way. Caroline didn't even want to rush things right now.
She just wanted to move slowly and assess everything she saw later, now let him enjoy his days as the crippled Caroline "but we don't know what will happen in the future either, so I just want you to know about this first"
Caroline looked at Luis before looking back at the pile of snow that filled the street "Luis, I still can't believe it but I can't deny my existence, just like snow that can only follow the seasons when it comes and goes"
Snow, maybe when compared to snow then Caroline is luckier. She just followed how his life would go, she never intended to cross the line of destiny just because of his selfishness. Like snow that never crosses its destiny.
The cold white chips always come in winter and leave when spring comes. That's exactly what Caroline wanted, she just wanted to follow everything that was laid out for her. Even though she knows how broken she is when she has to accept his destiny as the son of Alpha like his father.
But not everyone lives in peace, there will always come when a problem comes to them. And all they can do is solve the problem well without crossing the line.
Caroline looked back at Luis who was silent, for some reason she was curious about what Luis was thinking now "you just need to believe in me as I believe in you" Caroline said again with a beautiful smile etched on her lips.
Whatever Luis thinks she doesn't care, even though she's curious but he just doesn't want to be selfish. Caroline smiled again giving a sign that she had no intention of rejecting the obvious. And Luis himself of course can't do anything now.
"Okay I understand, but if you need help tell me" Luis looked at Caroline who nodded in agreement, it wouldn't hurt if she asked Luis for help someday and it's better if she also maintains his relationship with Luis.
"Then I'll go first"
It was getting late and Caroline couldn't stay out for long, Jennifer had told her not to stay out too long. She couldn't even do his habit of staring at the frozen lake when he was bored.
Caroline was about to leave after waving her hand but Luis didn't allow it. Caroline's hand was grabbed by Luis, and after that, she has pulled away without knowing their destination. Caroline just resigned herself to following where Luis would take her.
Caroline's bead could see something familiar but to her, it was something foreign. Caroline's body looks uncomfortable and Luis realizes, he knows the reason Caroline never eats with other werewolves. There was only one definite reason because Caroline was uncomfortable.
Even so, Luis wanted Caroline to feel something she never felt "don't you like it?" Luis asked stopping his steps looking at Caroline who looked pale.
Caroline is indeed a child who likes to do what she wants and never cares about what other people say and look at her. But she hated hearing and seeing it the most at a time that had to calm him down. And that's why he refused to join the banquet all this time.
"Sorry... I won't force you" said Luis again looking down in fear when he saw the blue beads vibrating.
Caroline shook her head "I'm just not comfortable with situations like that, moreover, I don't want other people to be disturbed just because of my presence"
Caroline is very aware that she is being ignored and considered useless. She will not be angry because this is just a form of a mistake, it is not their fault but circumstances that made them do this. The point is that Caroline is just too lazy to deal with things like that.
"I understand.."
The sad look on Luis' face made Caroline chuckle, she could see how much Luis was worried about her. However, all this time she had eaten only from the food left at the banquet and Luis felt guilty that he was able to enjoy a proper meal whereas Caroline could not.
Even so, Jennifer often gives him various kinds of bread and cakes. But Caroline never said that to Luis "how about you come to eat with me" Caroline said seeing Luis who nodded happily.
The two of them immediately left the place to get to the gates of the girls' dormitory. "Wait here okay," Caroline said running away leaving Luis who nodded.
Luis waited to stare at Caroline's back from a distance, he smiled slightly before seeing a familiar silhouette. The man with silver hair approached him with a flat look "you're Caroline's cousin aren't you?"
Luis nodded at the northern noble who seemed to have something to tell him. I don't know what it is, but Luis is curious if it concerns his cousin.
