With the small distance between us, I can clearly hear the abnormal and unsteady beat of Alaric's heart. I can't say for sure if it was because he is worried, nervous, or entirely something else. But I can say that from the words he said, it was very evident that he is jealous of Lucien.
Even though Alaric and I were not talking that much about ourselves in a deeper sense, I had already told him about my problems with my powers, as well as my desire for touching others without worrying about seeing their deaths. He knew that dream of mine, and right now, he knew that another person can be key to that dream.
Having Lucien as an exception is not really a huge turn with regards to my power. He was just one person, and I still will not be able to touch my family or my loved ones no
