Chapter 18 - Meet My Questioning Self

I don't know how to react, what to say and how to even face this situation. I don't even know which is the trickier situation right now.
On the one hand, this stupid Ethan claimed in front of everyone that he is my mate, and on the other hand, I am feeling the mate tingles from the alpha king's touch, and in all this drama, my eyes have decided that they wanted to be on alpha king only. I could see many emotions swirling in his eyes: shock, confusion, doubt, adoration, and many more, but before I observed him more, he coughed and steadied me on my feet. Slowly he removed his hands and took a step away from me. I felt sudden coldness because of it, but I hardened myself and looked at others... {let's end all this first... after this, I will think about this another mate stuff}
Shock, that was the only thing written on everyone's face. "What the fuck was that, Ethan?" Alpha Aiden shouted suddenly, and I flinched.
