The words landed like stones dropping into a pond, thrown from kilometers away. Hearing it said out loud, Kira desperately wished for the ground to open and swallow her whole, erasing her existence from the earth. The situation was bad. Very bad. And having all these people in the room made it very clear that she was in a hot spot. Not just for hiding that she knew the alpha was her mate, but for what might come later. That, she was not prepared for. She could not even bear to look her parents in the eye. In their eyes, she was sure she looked like a disgrace.
