Cameron’s P.O.V
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen!” Sarah’s father took the microphone to make an announcement. “The moment you’ve all been waiting for is here! Please welcome the birthday boy and his beautiful date onstage.”
‘I’m so sorry.’ Sarah told me via the mental bond. ‘First the dress and now this…I don’t think he understands that mating bonds can’t be forced.’
‘It’s alright.’ I smile at her outwardly as I kept up the mental connection. ‘Let’s just get this show over with.’
‘Yes, everything will become clear in a few seconds.’ Sarah added as I got on stage and helped her up.
The crowd, that consisted of all unmated women of the pack, from teens to young adults, started counting down the time left for my birthday. I took Sarah’s hand and looked at the crowd with a smile, but no matter how I tried, it felt suffocating.
