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."
