But at the same time, Killian was trying. He had pushed past that instinct, and he had stayed. Opened the vault behind which he locked himself up. He had exposed more of himself in front of her and, more importantly, he had admitted that he cared for her. It was something an alpha would hardly ever do. After all, alpha shifters were all about being strong and powerful. They never believed in showing their vulnerability in front of others.
Wasn't this why Dominic often blocked her out? Because he didn't want to expose himself in front of her.
However, Killian moved past that very instinct and bared himself in front of her. He had told her the truth even though he was feeling raw and vulnerable. Inez had to admit that it took a heap of emotional bravery. Something that even she would have a hard time showing. If that didn't take away a chunk of her anger, then who knows what would?
