People start whispering softly, my uncertainty threatening to seep out, but Dex takes my hand. In his eyes, I see nothing but pride, and that's all that matters, I tell myself.
Dex clears his throat. "As you may already know, Lilly is human, her daughter, Claire, is not," he continues. "You know I searched for my fated mate for a long time, and I couldn't find her." He glances at me briefly, and I can't help but smile nervously. "And that's because..." He's silent for a few seconds. "Because Lilly is my fated mate." I hear a few people gasp. Dex takes his eyes off me and looks sternly into the crowd.
