Afraid

The door opened, Caroline looked at Sena who was standing in front of the door. Caroline's blue bead looked at Sena confused but she immediately stepped into her room without caring what Sena did. His hands were busy taking some of his bread and immediately intended to leave.

Sena is looking at him, what's going on? It was clear the amber bead was staring at him, indeed what was wrong with him. Feeling strange, Caroline immediately ran outside hoping that Sena would not disturb her. She was too lazy to deal with the troublesome Sena anymore.

"Who are you eating with?"

Caroline's footsteps stopped staring at Sena who was still standing in front of the open door. His eyebrows shot up, trying to think why the girl younger than him would ask him. Is the girl getting interested in his activities? Or is there something else he's hiding?

She thinks too badly considering Sena is Luna's younger sister, moreover, she's in a bad situation with Luna's partner "are you sick?"

Instead of answering Caroline instead asking about the girl's condition, she clearly remembered that it was Sena who had just finished her first Heat term. Caroline thinks something is wrong with Sena's brain right now, I don't know what it is but Sena's brain seems to have shifted.

Sena approached and pulled Caroline's food basket without caring about the owner "eh..!!"

Caroline was surprised to stare straight at the amber bead, is there something wrong with Sena now? Why is his attitude being so annoying than usual? Caroline took her food basket again and quickly ignored Sena who was also surprised.

Caroline was about to leave, her body turning to quickly run away from the younger girl. This was weird and she was too lazy to play with the girl, especially since she was waiting for Luis right now.

"I'm eating with you!"

"What!!"

Caroline's steps stopped again, hearing the sound of footsteps approaching her. His eyes glanced at Sena who was already next to him, actually what was wrong with that girl?

Sena turned to look at Caroline who was still standing next to her "aren't you going?"

Caroline snorted as she walked away thinking about why the girl had followed her. During the trip the two did not talk to each other, they looked awkward to be called roommates.

"Luis.."

The man named Luis turned his head to look at Caroline who was running towards him, both of them immediately looked for a seat ignoring Sena who was still walking towards them.

Wait!!

Luis tasted it, that very sweet scent was starting to fill his mind. His eyes moved in the direction where Sena was walking, was he not wrong. Why did he smell that sweet scent from Caroline's roommate, this is strange and Luis immediately darted towards Sena who also felt the same way.

Caroline looked confused, she looked at Luis who was standing in front of Sena. There was a big question mark on his head at this moment but she also couldn't ask why Luis approached Sena. Caroline took a deep breath before acting nonchalantly and eating quietly.

She just needed to ignore it until Luis told his own story.

"Mate"

That one but the meaningful word was spoken by Luis softly, his reddish-brown beads began to glow a blood-red color. The scent is getting clearer and Luis is never wrong to know who the girl in front of him is now "Lyra"

Luis's hand moved to hold Sena's trembling hand the girl was also quite surprised by this unexpected situation "Mate are you afraid?"

Sena shook her head quickly with a tear flowing ignoring Caroline's shocked gaze at the moment. His hearing was very good and she had heard what Luis had said earlier.

Caroline's body froze looking at the couple with fright, the thing that scared her was being left by Luis. That bond will deteriorate when love comes, and Caroline realizes that her time is up.

Now Luis's top priority must be Sena, his Mate. She was only Luis's cousin and best friend, nothing more. I asked if Caroline is happy, then the answer is yes. It's just that she feels she has lost one valuable thing, unconsciously his tears fall with a smile.

Does he look weird? Why did he cry when his cousin met his Mate. Caroline dropped her bread and left the new couple. His mind was a mess, somehow she had to feel this way now.

Will she be abandoned by Luis? Caroline was crying, she didn't know why she was being so stupid like this. Why? His footsteps quickened towards the frozen lake. She didn't care about the cold night air, the most important thing was that she was able to get rid of all his bad thoughts.

Luis will remain a friend to him, yes she is not someone who leaves him even though she already has Mate. Even though she had a hard time preparing himself if it came, then why did he now feel that she couldn't accept this.

Caroline is afraid, Luis is all she has in this world. Only Luis knows everything about him, only Luis always believes in him. Her sobs were low, she lowered her head to hide her face behind her knees. Caroline didn't want to think about anything right now.

'I'm so bad'

But the thought kept haunting him, she couldn't stay like this. People would find it weird to cry because Luis met his Mate. She should have been happy and congratulated them both, but Caroline couldn't.

Caroline looked up at the dark sky, with no stars in sight. Her tears still flowed ignoring the cold temperature that was getting more and more piercing into her body "I'm selfish"

Yes, she is very selfish. Why did she think Luis should still put himself first if his Mate was already with him. She shouldn't be thinking about things like this, she should be able to accept that his cousin has found his destiny.

And Caroline should know that after this she must be ready to fend for herself. But the tears were still flowing without stopping. Actually, why is she like this? Is this just part of a fear? Why is she thinking bad now?

There was the sound of footsteps and Caroline immediately ran to hide. No, she shouldn't be caught if she's crying right now. Whoever it was Caroline hoped she would go soon. Caroline's body was covered in bushes, she tried to catch her breath.

"Caroline..."

That's Luis voice, why is Luis here? He should be with Sena now!

"I know you are here, Lin... I beg you to come out"
