All of a sudden, I felt emotional.
Damn it.
My weird body was reacting again, threatening to make me cry over nothing.
"Aaa!" I heard him.
I looked at him, my eyes slightly moist. He was holding a spoonful of soup toward me.
"Aaa," he repeated, softer this time, smiling like I was a stubborn child he needed to coax.
I opened my mouth finally, and he fed me.
"Good girl," he praised, warm enough to melt the rest of the heaviness inside my chest.
"You should eat as well," I said quickly, grateful for the distraction from the sudden emotions.
"How was your day? What did you do?" he asked, having his own spoonful.
"Just as usual," I replied. "I spent time with Raven, and... Liam came to check on me."
He looked at me instantly, his hand pausing halfway to his mouth. "What did he say?"
"He said to wait for the test results," I told him.
"When will it be?"
"I’m not sure."
"I’ll ask him myself," he said, as if it wasn’t even up for discussion.
The little exchange felt like a normal family dinner conversation... something peaceful and gentle, something ordinary people did every day.Somehow, that simple warmth felt too beautiful for someone like me.
We ate quietly after that, speaking here and there. It wasn’t awkward—it was... comforting. Like my mind finally rested for a moment.
After we finished, he asked, "Want to take a walk outside?"
It was past midnight. Not exactly the time for strolling...But I nodded anyway.
Because I didn’t know what to do after this.Should I stay with him?Should I return to Kael’s room?Should I avoid him after the way I had kissed him this morning?
Ever since that kiss... everything felt awkward for me.Not with him—he was as calm as ever—but inside me, everything was tangled and a mess.
He made me wear a warm coat and we stepped out from the garden side. Despite the warm coat, I still felt cold while he felt nothing in that normal shirt and pants.
"Are you not feeling cold?" I asked as we walked together.
"This is just ordinary weather for werewolves," he told me. "Unless it’s snowing and the temperature drops too much, only then do we need warm clothes."
"I am a werewolf as well," I countered.
"Though you might be stronger, but females are weak in certain situations, and this is one of them," he said, "And your wolf is not that strong yet."
I understood.
He held my hand in his as we walked for a while. His warm hand felt better against my cold one.
I couldn’t help but glance at him once in a while. He was entirely a different Roman from the past.
In the past I only thought about that one person who would hold my hand like this throughout my life, but now it was Roman in the end, who I used to hate a lot. What an irony.
"Am I that handsome?" he asked and looked at me, a light smile playing on his lips. He looked even more handsome to me now. "You keep staring at me."
I was taken aback, but then answered honestly. "You are indeed good looking."
I had nothing to fear or lose from my honesty.
He chuckled lightly. "Glad that I am pleasing to your eyes."
Indeed, he was. I felt my lips curve into a smile as well.
We continued to walk in silence, just finding peace in each other’s presence. My heart felt at peace by his side. I hoped that he wouldn’t hurt me ever again, that now I was being good to him and had started to trust him.
