Zoe's birthday party (1)

Author's note: This is from Zoe's point of view

- - -

Serina ended up leaving in a hurry before breakfast.

I wanted to go with her. To be honest, I would go anywhere, just to avoid being here, but Serina refused, saying how I need to welcome guests.

What welcoming of guests? All those people will soon find out that I'm an adult werewolf without a wolf.

These were my last moment before I needed to face ultimate humiliation.

This was not a birthday celebration, this was mourning for a wolf that will never wake up.

Just as expected, or maybe it's better to say, just as I feared, my friends arrived on time.

The good thing was that they were blown away by the mansion, the garden, and anything else they could see on their way here, so they didn't pay much attention to me.

I took a mental note to talk about the property as a diversion whenever they ask me about my wolf.
