Damon’s POV
The stadium was already filling up by the ti I stepped into the cold morning air. Aven and Tristan were already fed up with waiting for to get ready and co out of my room. Today was the Moonfall Rembrance Day.
I didn’t desire to be here; I’d rather be lying in my bed or getting drunk in a bar for Rembrance Day. But soone made co here, I think that’s also what made Tristan, who never liked this day, so eager to co. ’Aria’
I adjusted the edge of my shirt as I drew closer to the rows of chairs, scanning the arena to see if I could spot her. But there wasn’t any sign of her anywhere. I felt disappointed because I was late, and I thought she should have been here by now.
I found a seat toward the edge, far enough from anyone I knew. Or thought I knew. But I noticed that I drew attention; I wasn’t expected to be there.
"Damon! Over here!" Tristan called out from our usual spot at the elevated platform. Although I wanted to be here in case she ca, I would easily find her, but she wasn’t here, so I decided to just go over to my friends.
I glanced over the stadium once again to see if I could see her, but I could only see Tracy and her fellow cheerleaders dressed in their usual cheer wear and chatting away.
"You okay?" Tristan asked. His voice was more concerned than usual.
I nodded. "Maybe I just miss seeing soone."
He looked triggered at first. I understand he would feel that way, but besides, he must have known who I was referring to, "Our mate"
From the stage, Headmistress Lauren raised her hand, and the crowd grew silent. A cold air washed through the entire premises.
"Today, we rember when history was made, and how we ca into existence...," she started, and I completely tuned off. I’ve heard this over and over again—my dad, my mom, this school, over and over again.
I wished that if I looked deeper into the crowd, I’d see her. I didn’t know why I missed her so much. The plan was to make her love and then leave, but why am I the one longing for her? Why am I getting fond of her?.
As ti passed, I wanted to leave. Tristan was the first to get up, and Aven and I followed
There will be a bonfire event tonight to commorate the event. I hope she will co around.

Andria’s POV
"There will be a bonfire this night, I hope you will co?" Larissa inford with so much excitent in her voice, and then she turned towards l.
"We are going to force her even if she doesn’t want to co."
"Well, I never left, I’m still here." She spoke as if I wasn’t around her, so I needed to remind her that I’m still here, hello! And we all burst out laughing.
"I’ll be there at the bonfire, not because y’all told , but because I need the air."
"Or because you want to et them?" l teased, and then she and Larissa shared a knowing look.
"et who? Oh, please step aside," I responded with a rather ridiculous voice that betrayed the fact that I wanted to see them, maybe, but Athena is the one to bla for those feelings.
"I’ll be heading to my room to rest, so that I can prepare for the bonfire. I’ve had a long day." I stood up to leave, but l held .
"Are you trying to tell us that you didn’t et any of them?" I could sense the playful but curious tone.
"Well, sorry to disappoint you, now let go of my hands."
"Ok", l said, raising her hands in the air.
I rolled my eyes playfully at her and headed straight to my room, shutting the door right behind .
I set an alarm before I dozed off. I don’t want to miss the event. It sounds fun, at least from Larissa and everyone in class. It seems like they always anticipated it.
I’m not going there because of the fun, I’m going there because Aven needed so confrontation for what he did with thebook of myths, and I can’t wait for tomorrow.
The alarm woke up from my sleep, and it felt like I hadn’t slept enough, as if the alarm rang imdiately after I closed my eyes.
I could see the fireworks from the stadium through my window. The night was livelier than usual. It’s two hours to midnight and I need to hurry to et my deadline.
I could hear l and Larissa’s voices behind my door; they were already prepared, judging from the clinking of heels.
I hurried to freshen up, put on a makeover, and put on a gown and a pair of heels. I got this pair of clothes from my years of savings, at least the Falcons didn’t deny the right to my allowance, although it was lower than Lena’s own by a long margin.
I stord out of my room, hoping they hadn’t left yet, and when I saw that they just sat comfortably on the sofa debating who should knock on my door, I adjusted my dress and walked up to them.
"How do I look?" I turned around for them to assess my dressing.
"Thank goodness you are done, we didn’t know who would co wake you up this ti, considering that you never open the door and you act strangely when you wake up from your sleep," l announced happily. I’m getting used to her childlike excitent.
"Ok, since her royal majesty is out of her room, we may now leave." The tone of Larissa’s voice seed playful, but I could sense a hint of mockery and jealousy, or maybe it’s just paranoia from the years of suffering under a jealous sister.
I shoved down the feeling, "Well, let’s go have fun."
As we stepped into the stadium, I noticed that everyone looked extra shiny, like they were going to a carnival, each of their dresses telling a story of the origin of the werewolves and stories in between.
We moved to the far end of the stadium. The fireworks were colouring the air, and everyone was lively. Unlike the long talk and exposition by the heads of the school in this stadium this morning, which I gladly missed, this event was the main event.
"Oh, you are here!" Tracy and her squad rrily ran towards , like we were friends before, and I wondered what had happened.
