As I stood there, silent and dumbfounded, I could feel Ma'am Elena's eyes on me, filled with curiosity.
"Kimberly, I asked you a question. I need an answer," she said firmly, her gaze intensifying as she stared straight into my eyes.
I swallowed hard, lifting my face to meet her look. "Ma'am, I don't know what answer you're expecting. I don't feel anything about seeing the Alpha yesterday," I said, trying to keep my expression neutral.
Ma'am Elena let out a small sigh, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Lying to me won't do you any good, Kimberly. It'll only hurt you in the long run. Be honest. Now, tell me the truth."
She stepped closer, her eyes boring into mine as she waited for my response. There was a faint grin on her face, but I knew she wasn't joking.
