Challenge #130: Remainder (Promise)
Promised to Each Other
Long before they ever met, Karolina and Xavin had been promised to each other by their parents.
That wasn’t the reason Karolina left with Xavin, or she reason she stayed with the Skrull.
It was because of who Xavin was. Xavin had loved her unconditionally, sight unseen. Xavin had accepted her wholeheartedly, not so long after her best friend had pushed her away. From the start Xavin had been willing to change for her, to become whatever she wanted.
This devotion almost frightened Karolina, but it also made her care for her betrothed. Despite her warrior’s ferocity, Xavin had a tender heart. Karolina knew how painful that could be.
She didn’t feel the same longing for Xavin that she did for Nico, but there was something between them, something deep and strong that bound them in a way their parents’ treaty ever could have.
