Clearing the air (K&A) (1)

Keith glanced behind Arya to see four people looking at them.

"Come," Keith said to Arya while giving her hand a squeeze. "Before we go to your room, let me introduce you to my Alpha and Luna. Soon to be yours."

Arya looked at their connected hands and smiled. It was like Keith's hand could wrap around hers in a promise that he will take care of her.

Arya liked that Keith wanted to introduce her as his mate, and she could feel his nerves. This was important to him. It made her feel welcome.

Arya didn't dare to look at Alpha Cristian, fearing what his expression might be. She kissed a guy in public, in front of Alpha. What if he disapproves?

Insecurities swelled in her heart.

Will Alpha Cristian be angry that she was leaving with her mate? Will he ask her to stay? Will that make her change her mind? Will he be indifferent? Or will he be glad that she was leaving? Each of those was gutwrenching in its own way.
