Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Caroline's POV: 

On our way back, I juggled mixed feelings in my mind the entire time I was sitting in the car.

To my surprise, Elizabeth chose to share a car with me.

"Caroline, how are you? You must be exhausted after the long journey, especially with a baby in your belly.Please try not to push yourself too hard," Elizabeth said politely.

I knew that she was only saying that because she cared about me.

Tears welled up in my eyes when I heard her words.

"Mom, I'm so sorry.I was wrong.I shouldn't have hurt you.I must have been possessed by the devil.How else could I have done such cruel things to you?"

I wrapped my arms around her and cried bitterly.

In my eyes, she was still my mother.

My conscience was laden with guilt because even though she almost lost her life because of me, she still cared about me.

"Mom, I don't expect you to forgive me, but I just want you to be all right!"

"Silly girl, no mother can stay angry at her child forever.As long as your remorse is sincere, I will forgive you."

She burst into tears as she held my hand and softly caressed my hair, just like she used to when I was a child.

"Thank you for forgiving me, Mom!"

I threw myself into her arms as I broke down in tears.

I never thought that she would be willing to forgive me.

The fact that she and I were finally getting along meant everything to me.

We chatted gleefully amongst ourselves as if we were making up for the good days we could have had but had missed out on.

Although she had forgiven me, I still needed more time to forgive myself.

However, our rekindled relationship was a sign of better things to come.

I was happy to have been able to finally reconcile with her.

When we reached the royal palace, Anthony ordered the guards to bring me back to my cell.

I complied without hesitation because I had no intentions of attempting to escape anymore.

"Caroline, just because you're living in that dingy cell doesn't mean that you can't ask for help.If you need anything at all, just ask the guards.After all, we won't want anything bad to happen to you and the baby."

Elizabeth gave me a kiss on the forehead as she reluctantly let go of my hands.
