warning: gore
Early in the morning, Caroline left Ha Na to hang out with Jungkook more, and get to know as she drove to her destination—the cemetery. It was the cemetery where her best friend for years lies, and where Ha Na's mother's tomb lies.
As she arrived in the place, she immediately went to her best friend's tomb and stood up, bending down to offer the flowers on top. She grabbed the blanket with her and spread it before grabbing the fruits, placing it on top.
Caroline sighed, hands travelled to her best friend's tomb. "I'm sorry, Karla."
Taking a deep breath, she started talking, voice filled with sadness. "I'm sorry if you have to see how cruel I was just to get into this."
Her lips quiver, forehead pressing on the tomb's cement. "I'm sorry if I hurt your daughter in anyway...but Jungkook is my son too, and only this way can I protect him."
"Please guide me through the chaos that I made." Her voice cracked, remembering what she just did just for her son's sake—resulting to everyone's pain and hatred towards each other.
FLASHBACK
Caroline gripped the silver knife, slitting the vampire's throat in front of her as he clasped his neck, trying to breathe some air as blood continue gushing out. She just stood there, watching as he tried to choke out some words but ended up being murmurs, and landed flat on the floor. She lifted the silver knife before puncturing it directly to his chest making him shrieked in pain but no one can hear them.
The two of them were in a secluded place near the palace—considering how the palace is adding to the noise because of the Grand Ball.
"I'm s-sorry." She stammered, before pulling the knife out. She put the knife back inside her pocket before grabbing his neck, and lifted him up in the air making him choke even more. Her teeth gritted, canines showed as her eyes flashed before snapping his neck making him fall completely to the ground.
She looked at dead vampire with pity and apologetic look before mumbling, "I'm sorry. I'm a mother too, and I had to do it for my son."
As she said those words, she left the Palace—the grand ball, leaving the vampire lifeless and letting the guards see him in the morning. That way, her plan will start.
The entire night, she didn't go back to her house, and planned everything ahead of time, making sure there will be no mistake.
Morning came, she went inside her house to see her little pup drooling and sleeping on the stairs—waiting for his mother to come back. And Caroline couldn't help but felt slightly hurt at the sight.
"I'm sorry, son..." She mumbled, eyes fixed on her little baby. She approached him, stroking his cute little black hair. "I had to do it so you wouldn't die at early age, and be with your mate already."
She remembered what her best friend told her. That her own son needs to die in the arms of his mate, and that what she will do now.
"Baby..." She called out, shaking Jungkook. The pup opened his eyes, happiness spread his entire system as soon as he saw his beautiful mother.
"Mommy!" Little Jungkook squealed, jumping in his mother's arms making Caroline giggle at the innocence her son has.
"Baby," Caroline pulled away, grabbing Jungkook's shoulders and facing him. "You have to do something for me, okay?"
Jungkook adorably tilted his head to the side, unable to connect what his mother said to him in his mind.
Caroline shook her head, and grinned. "You will go to your Aunt Ha Na, alright?"
"Why, mommy?" Jungkook pouted. He waited for his mommy to come home the whole night yet her mother wants him to go to his Aunt's place.
"Aunt Ha Na will protect you." His mother muttered under her breath before pulling her son into a tight embrace making Jungkook squeak.
I might not be able to make it. But you have to survive this, my child. Caroline mentally pleaded. But I, too, will survive this. So I can save you.
She stood up, grabbing Jungkook in her arms before drawing out her phone, calling her best friend's daughter—Ha Na.
After a few rings, Ha Na answered.
"Hello?" She answered in a soft tone. "Yes, Aunt Caroline?"
"Ha Na dear, can you come over to watch over your cousin?" Caroline asked, while Jungkook poked her cheeks.
"Of course, Aunt Caroline." With that, they went outside the house and waited for Ha Na. And when she did, she approached them.
"Hi again little one." Ha Na greeted Jungkook who was already blushing furiously and hid behind his mother.
"Son, you've met your cousin a lot yet you still get shy around her." Caroline laughed and pushed her son towards his mate in a gentle manner.
"Mom will be back okay?" Caroline's voice cracked, kissing his forehead.
She stood up, marching away from the two, and not looking back. "I will survive..."
She entered her car, looked back, hands gripping the steering wheel as she watched Ha Na happily grabbing Jungkook.
"I'm sorry, child..." She whimpered, a tear slipped off her eyes. "But you had to die in your mate's arms."
END OF FLASHBACK
Her involvement with the murder of the vampire in the Grand Ball created chaos that lead the vampires to annihilate and slaughter the entire werewolf race.
It was all her fault.
Caroline's purpose of having the werewolf's m******e was for Jungkook to grow old with his mate, and be with her for the rest of his life. Because by the time she will be gone, at least someone out there will take of his son.
Call her selfish but she is a mother.
But her main and sole purpose of having to initiate m******e was to eliminate those who are against Jungkook being the next Alpha of the Moon Pack—the pack where only the royal family of the Werewolves stayed. And those who are still alive are the ones who are loyal to the royal pack.
Of course, no one knows about her being involved regarding the Grand Ball Murder Case, and her being the cause of the Werewolf m******e.
