124 Don’t Leave Me

Emilia’s POV

Klaus’s figure appeared at the entrance of the tent. His presence instantly made Veronica fall silent. She tried her best to maintain a neutral expression, but Klaus’s gaze was so imposing that it was hard for anyone to remain unaffected.

“Alpha, I was just talking with the miss about tonight’s banquet,” Veronica explained quickly.

“Yes, we went to see your battle today,” I added hastily, hoping to shift the attention.

Klaus didn’t respond immediately, his eyes falling on my ankle, noticing that I was no longer chained. His eyebrow raised slightly as he said, "So I wasn’t wrong. The person I saw in the crowd was you."

“Leave us,” Klaus said, turning to Veronica.

Veronica quickly bowed respectfully to Klaus and hurried out of the tent, leaving just me and Klaus inside. His presence was so strong that the tent suddenly felt much smaller, more confined.
