I buried my burning face in my hands, wishing the ground would open up and swallow me whole.
But no matter how embarrassed I felt, the truth was already out in the open. Elliot and I had publicly acknowledged our relationship before the entire pack network, and there was no taking it back now.
Right then, my phone suddenly rang.
The moment I saw Nigel's name on the screen, I nearly groaned aloud. I was already overwhelmed enough without him adding fuel to the fire.
"Go on, answer it," Felicia said with a grin before stepping away to give me privacy.
I inhaled deeply, trying to steady myself before accepting the call. "Hey."
Nigel's laughter came through instantly. "My beautiful Lady Tillman, so you really abandoned me for my cousin after all."
I shut my eyes in defeat. "Please don't tease me right now."
"Honestly," he continued shamelessly, "who would've thought my cold-blooded Alpha cousin could look so passionate kissing someone? The entire internet is losing its mind."
