Chapter 171 Speech

• Violet’s POV
• The last thing I wanted to do today was public speaking in front of my territory and enough press to transmit my speech throughout the country. Brief as it was, the hallucination in court yesterday had worn me out, and I felt like hell.
• It had taken all three of the people I was closest to: my best friend in one ear, my Beta in the other, and my mate in my mind. All three of them gently telling me it would be okay, to look away, as I stared at my father sitting next to the judge. As my father yelled at me to “Get out” like a petulant, disobedient child.
