"Don't say that, Selene. You're part of our House," Louis said, smiling at her and petting her head. "If anyone dares to laugh at you or say anything, I will personally deal with them."
"Ooh…!" Selene's eyes sparkled with respect and admiration. "O-Okay… can I hold your hand, Prince Louis?"
"Fine." Louis took her soft paw. Selene felt more confident and walked forward.
"It's fine!" Melisa smiled, holding her other hand. "We've got you, Selene. We won't let you ever be alone anymore."
"T-Thanks…" Selene shed a few tears as she nodded.
Despite her wild nature and appearance, Selene was a very sweet and soft girl inside—someone who might have walked a completely different path if she had not met Melisa and Louis.
With them and everyone else by her side, she felt truly confident. Even if the world might reject her, as long as she had those who cared for and loved her… she felt she could stand against the world.
