I was in no hurry to head to the final ground. But everyone around me seemed to be rushing.
"We have no time to be dallying around like this, Manet. Hurry up and follow us."
Sam told me as soon as he noticed that I had no intention of hurrying up to get to the final ceremony ground. He dragged me behind him in an agitated manner.
We were one of the first teams to reach the ceremonial ground but there was no audience member in attendance.
This ceremony was clearly just for people who participated in the championship. And slowly, other teams were starting to filter into the stadium.
My eyes met Lynn's across the arena as he entered and I immediately looked around and pretended I did not see him.
But just because I did not acknowledge him, did not mean he had a desire to play along with me. Instead of looking away and doing what he needed to, the alpha turned toward me and came toward me.
