At The Party II

I watched, nervous and soaked in trepidation, when our King climbed up the elevated podium and commanded the attention of everyone in the hall a few minutes later.

Naomi's hands grasped mine and held, and I turned and looked at her, appreciation in my eyes to her for being my friend.

"Good evening everyone. I am glad that y'all honored the invitation to be here tonight...as you all know, we have gathered here for the sake of one of ours…"

The king kept up with talks on how he was sorry about the misconduct of his sons, and how I would be taken absolutely care of outside the pack, in the city of humans.

I turned to Adam then, to see his reaction when his father mentioned that a car would be coming next tomorrow to take me to the city of humans.

His face was contorted in sadness, even as he redirected his gaze to stare at me as well, as if he had known that I had been staring all this time.
