Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Voting Ceremony (2)

Pacing back and forth on the backstage, I rubbed my tired eyes and suppressed a yawn while trying to bring my over active nerves under control.

Alpha Carl came in and when he looked at my disheveled features, smiling lightly, he came towards me while I paid no attention to him. As a hand landed on my shoulders that is when I looked up to glare at the person disturbing me.

"It's okay, Adira. You don't have to worry, everything is under control. Here, take this and sit on that chair until we call for you", he said handing me the bottle but I just stood still, not moving, not even blinking, deep in thought.

"Adira, Adira", his hands moving in front of my face made me snap to my senses, looking at him, I found him staring at me with a worried expression.

Taking my hand, he lead me to the chair, pushing me slightly downwards while I did nothing to protest. I was too consumed to do anything. He handed me the bottle while I took it like a robot.
