Elara’s POV
This wasn’t my first time telling my wolf that I have no idea what I would have done without Alpha Kael, and this might not be the last time. I had assumed his presence here wasn’t important, but I was wrong.
I could feel the guests' eyes piercing my skin, but Alpha Kael had asked me to keep my head up, and I would do just that. If I were told that I would climb the stage tonight again, I wouldn’t have believed it.
My fingers were wrapped around the microphone, as expected, they were shaky. I took a deep breath, Alpha Kael advised that I do occasionally. I could draw strength by staring at him, but I might get caught and I didn’t want that.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for taking so much of your time,” I began. That came out sharper and louder than I expected.
