Selma Payne's POV:
In just a minute, when the flash went off, when the microphone transformed my voice into an electric current and transmitted it to the world, my life changed in an instant.
The people's gazes changed from surprise to doubt and then to respect and fanaticism. At this moment, the ordinary Selma had disappeared forever. From now on, the one standing on this land would be the princess of the werewolf pack, Madeline.
Just like the cameras in the auditorium today, every detail of my life from now on would be infinitely magnified and studied. My every word and action would affect people's perception and evaluation of me.
I would never have a peaceful and relaxed life again. This was a heavy shackle that was accompanied by glory.
