But now, all was lost. I closed my eyes and filled my mind with his voice. I could hear him teasing me like he was a foot away. My mind was full of witty retorts that I would never say out loud. I wanted to gently call him out and see if he would disappear from my mind.
I wished my father was here to occupy my solitude.
"It's time, Elizabeth."
A firm voice brought me back. Odin put his hand on my back and led me to the center of the field, on the elevated stage.
My pack did a commendable job of decorating the area. The whole area was in stark contrast to the presence of the wolves, bright and luminous. My eyes focused on the twinkling lights in the trees.
I walked onto the stage with a blank look on my face, and every step I took, I could feel a pair of eyes watching me carefully. The gaze of the eyes disturbed me, and if Odin had not caught me at the right time, I would have fallen,, he saved me from the embarrassment.
