Suzzanah's POV

The minute I walked onto the ground, the loud rambunctious crowd quietened down to complete silence so fast, it was like someone had muted a show on television.

With every step I took I could feel it vividly, every gaze in the Grounds directed my way, boring into me like a million and one X-ray beams. I could feel myself being scrutinized through and through- be it my attitude, my attire, my gait, my shoes, my physique, my hair, my every single molecule.

And I...was okay. I was still okay.

As I walked towards the field, Rino and Mr. Talon took their leave, going to sit in the stands beside General Reginald. And even though I distinctly felt like a lone warrior marching into battle against an enormous army, I somehow managed to keep a straight face. I somehow managed to maintain composure.

Even though the silence soon turned deafening, and the attention soon turned suffocating, I tried not to let it bother me. I tried not to let it show.

And I managed.

I didn't know how and I didn't know why, but somehow this morning, I woke up feeling different. It wasn't like I had transformed into a whole new person or anything like that, no. It was more like I had finally grown into something that had always been right there.

And it felt right.

Tipping my head up slightly, I looked straight towards the podium and it took me less than half a second to locate the prominent frame of my mate. When my eyes met his, he was already looking at me and the first thing I noticed was how dark his eyes appeared even in broad daylight.

A wave of electricity raged down my back as I watched his now obsidian eyes trail down me languidly, drinking in every inch of my appearance as though he were memorizing it. Heat rose to my cheeks and I swallowed involuntarily when I noticed his gaze linger for much longer on my legs, my hips and breasts.

I was well aware that my appearance today was very different from how I usually dressed. Roma had helped me pick out an outfit which she thought would be fit for today.

I was dressed in a low-neck green full-sleeved T-shirt which fit my frame to perfection. A brown crop vest hugged my chest tightly, accentuating my cleavage.

Underneath those, I wore dark brown jeans and knee-high brown leather boots. My waist was encircled by a brown belt with golden buttons which glistened under the sun.
