<h4>Chapter 100: What Did You Do To Him?</h4>


    Ang blinked and shook her head. "No, she won’te. I know Grace... she doesn’t care about these things. I have invited her for parents’ day many times in my previous school and she never came. She was always busy with one thing or the other."


    "She must have been a very busy person then," Alex said, not sure what else to say. He could see the pain in her eyes. Her mother was never there when she wanted her to be.


    "I wish she was," Ang chuckled painfully, looking away. The tears gathering in her eyes threatened to fall. "My mother won’te, and when she does, trust me... she is going to bring trouble with her, so it’s better I don’t tell her about tomorrow. Besides, there’s no way I could contact her. I don’t even have her phone number."


    "It’s alright," Stales said softly, cing his hand gently on her arm. He didn’t know what to say or do to make her feel better. "I don’t know why, but you don’t deserve everything you went through. No child does."


    "I’m so sorry you went through all of that," Alex added. In his mind, he wished Grace was a man so he could punch him a thousand times, demanding why he would treat his own child like that. Stales was right—no one deserved such an excuse for a mother. Alex even wondered why the authorities in Ang’s town had not punished her by now.


    He didn’t ask further questions, not wanting to make Ang feel worse. She already looked troubled, so he decided to change the subject.


    "Your shift is in three days. How are you feeling about it?" Alex asked with a smile. "Huh? Little she-wolf?"


    "Our Alpha..." Stales added, both of them looking at her until she had no choice but to forget her sadness for a moment.


    "You guys should stop. I... I..." Ang’s eyes widened as it suddenly hit her—her first transformation would happen the day after tomorrow. She had barely seventy-two hours to prepare. "My eighteenth birthday is in three days."


    "Yes, Alpha," Stales bowed with a yful smile. She pped him lightly and turned to Alex with surprise on her face.


    "I haven’t even thought of anything," Ang said, trying not to panic. She had prepared nothing for that day.


    "You don’t have to think too much," Alex chuckled, watching how tense she was. It was normal, especially for first-time shifters. "What do you want to do? Throw a first shift party?"


    "Alex..." She looked shocked. "Do people do that?"


    "Yes. There will be a small celebration before the red full moones out," Stales exined. "It’s going to be brief so that the human students can go back to their rooms before the transformations start."


    "Oh, I see." Ang brought out her bottle of water and took a sip. She could not stop thinking about it. "What about the Alphas’ transformation like?"


    The boys looked surprised and exchanged nces. Ang knew at once that something was wrong. "What happened? As their mate, am I not supposed to know about their transformation?" she asked.


    "Y-yes... no. You can," Stales stuttered. He still carried the memory of Taros’ transformation in his mind. There was no way he could forget something like that. "I only got to see Taros’ transformation, and it was not funny. I wish something could be done to save him."


    "What do you mean?" Ang became more curious. She wanted to know why he would say something like that. "I thought only first-time shifters had painful transformations?"


    "Yes... that’s how it is for all werewolves except the Alphas," Alex answered. "They see it as a curse rather than a blessing. Their transformation is always more painful than that of a first-time shifter. It’s horrible, and we don’t know why."


    "Haven’t they found a solution?" Ang asked with a worried look. She had no idea her mates were going through such horror during their shifts. Now she understood why they always disappeared on the day of the full moon.


    "They said you are the solution," Alex told her. She looked at him in shock, then turned to Stales, who nodded in agreement.


    "How am I the solution?" Ang asked, confusion clear on her face.


    "Okay, I’ll tell you, but you don’t have to panic," Alex began. "They need to im you before it can stop."


    A cold shiver ran down her spine. Wait... all of this came down to the fact that they were yet to im her? The moon goddess must be a big joker. She had turned their lives into some twistededy. Why would she allow them to suffer like that, only to make the solution something as personal as their mate having sex with them?


    "It’s unbelievable, but that’s the truth," Stales told her.


    "It’s going to be chaotic when I tell them tomorrow," Ang sighed, burying her face in her palms. She was already scared about tomorrow.


    "Yes, but trust me, they won’t hurt you... if there’s a fight, it will be among themselves," Alex said.


    Just when she was about to ask another question, Xavier walked into the ss. He avoided their tablepletely, taking a different path to his desk. He sat at the back, quiet. Even though there were only a few people in the ssroom, it was easy to tell something was wrong with him. He was acting strange.


    "It’s like a demon has taken over his body," Stales said, ncing at him.


    "Probably a sixty-year-old tired demon," Alex added. He kept staring at Xavier, then turned to Ang. "What did you do to him that day? I saw you talk to him, and since then, he’s been acting strange."
