Chapter 109: _New Attitude
When I was done bathing, I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body.
As I tried applying some lotion to my body, Caroline began speaking about something different from the events at the Blood Oak pack.
"So, you and the Alpha King..." Caroline muttered, giving me a wink and causing me to glance at her. "I mean, it’s kinda cute how he came to rescue you and didn’t... Leave you for dead or something. I don’t know, I expected him to give some kind of punishment and I got a little worried."
I pouted my lips, shaking my head before I responded. "And? What’s your point?"
I didn’t realize how blunt I sounded until I noticed the awkward expression on Caroline’s face as she scratched the back of her neck.
"M– My point is, maybe he cares about you. Not just as a symbol of some truce but something more."
I raised an eyebrow even though I was getting a little nervous deep down. If anyone could possibly connect the dots between the true nature of my relationship with Kaelos, it could very well be Caroline.
And that could prove to be a problem...
"I don’t think I know what you’re talking about, Caroline," I remarked, brushing my hair with a hairbrush. "Kaelos might very well never change and I’m learning to live with that already. No big deal."
I said that in real life, but in my head, I felt like I had said something that made me want to claw at my skin.
Anyway, just when Caroline walked toward me and the mirror I was sitting in front of, a knock sounded on the door, causing me to raise an eyebrow before I turned my head to the door.
