<h4>Chapter 319: Celebration Day I.</h4>


    It was early morning when she woke up to a ton of texts from family, friends and mates. Ang replied to each of them before she got up from the bed. Everyone must have woken up by now since it was already past nine. She pushed the nket aside and stood up, then looked at herself in the mirror. She did not look bad at least.


    She brushed a hand through her hair, gave herself a small smile and went downstairs. Her aunt was already setting the table.


    "Oh look who is awake," Seraphina said, being the first to see her. Hailey came out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and handed it to Ang. "I thought you were going to wake up muchter."


    "No. Good morning guys," Ang said as she walked to her aunt.


    "Did you sleep well?" Bellezza asked and kissed her forehead. Ang nodded and she continued, "That’s good. Breakfast is ready. Your dad went out and once he is back, we will go to visit the others."


    "Who?" Hailey asked as she ced the dishes on the table.


    "The other family members," Bellezza answered while pulling out a seat for her niece.


    "I am scared of meeting them," Ang said with a small shrug.


    "Why? You are Marcus’s daughter. You should not be scared of anyone, do you understand?" Her aunt’s voice was firm but soft enough to make her smile.


    "Yes, aunt Bellezza," she said and took a sip of her coffee. It tasted just the way she liked it. "I am excited about this. It seems like the boys won’t being."


    "No, they should be in their various packs, but we will all meet at the west pack where the celebration will take ce before the shift," Hailey exined as she sat opposite her and started dishing her food. "It is going to be an awesome night."


    "Not for me," Seraphina said sadly. She had just reminded herself that she was human and would not enjoy the celebration. "I will have to leave the party very early."


    Everyone was quiet as they watched her. She was right, and Ang felt bad for her because they were all eager to spend time together tonight. "I will speak to Kaito. He will let you stay at his ce so you don’t have to leave until the moon is out. Is that fine by you?"


    "Sounds good and safe," Bellezza said as she took a bite of her sandwich.


    "I like it then. Thank you," Seraphina said, her excitement rising. She was going to enjoy herself for once. They talked about the celebration andughed at the things they imagined would happen.


    After they were done, Marcus came back with a deep frown and would not talk to anyone. Ang wondered what could be wrong. He never acted like that around them, and he would not let anyonee close. He went straight to his room and locked the door. When Ang tried to follow him, Bellezza stopped her and said he had a small misunderstanding with their mother.


    Ang tried to ept that. Later in the afternoon, she worked on a beautiful piece to encourage the students to follow her page if they wanted a change. But only her friends did. No one else even reacted. It felt like every effort she made failed one way or another. There had to be a way to make this work, and she knew it started with making the students feel safe with what she was doing.


    An idea hit her as she grabbed her phone and shared the link to her page with all her mates, asking them to help her tell the students to follow it. Maybe that way, the boys would feel safe.


    Taros was the first to respond. He did exactly what she hoped for. He even made a video, telling the students to feel free to join if they wanted to stop the bullying in school. He also advised the werewolf students to be kind to humans so everyone could live in peace.


    Ang was d and grateful he made that video. She had turned off thements, so she could not see what the students thought, but her page gained fifteen new followers when she checked again.


    By evening, Ang got ready with the girls. Their faces were painted to show the packs they came from. Humans were free to choose any pack they wanted to support just for fun. Ang chose the central pack and added a few colors to match them. She wore ck high waist trousers and a blue crop top with a few simple essories.


    "You look stunning. The boys will faint when they set eyes on you," Seraphina teased as she fixed her hair.


    "I can say the same about you and Marcus," Ang told her.


    "Are you shipping her with Marcus?" Hailey asked, surprised, her eyes moving between them.


    "Yes, because she told me about her feelings," Ang said, hoping this would not start a fight.


    "What about me?" Hailey put both hands on her chest, still shocked.


    "You didn’t tell me," Ang said. "Besides, my opinion doesn’t matter in this. It’s Marcus’s choice."


    "Yes it does. You are his daughter," Hailey insisted. "Don’t you see it? He will love anyone who loves you. You are his heart beat."


    "O-okay," Ang said, confused as she stood up from the chair. "Whatever happens, let it be Marcus’s choice. And the man we are talking about is my father, so this whole topic feels strange to me."


    "Sure it does," Hailey agreed, realizing they had gone too far and the Luna was notfortable. "I heard something. The boys are going to be coronated tonight."


    "Wow... so soon," Ang said, shocked. She thought it would happen after they finished the academy.


    "Yes, dear. You have to round up your mission at the academy and stand by their side as the Luna."


    "I believe before you finish your mission, you will already have your pack members," Seraphina added with a smile.


    Ang swallowed hard and stared at herself in the mirror. It was clear that time was no longer on her side. She needed to get things done before it was toote.
