“You’re right.” Philip sighed. “We have a lot to celebrate. Too bad Troy’s not going to be on the Island from day one like every other person.”
On the week in question, Troy had exams to write. Unfortunately, however, it was the most appropriate time for the ceremony. Since all alphas were invited to the ceremony, the planning committee had to find a date that would be suitable for everyone. The final day that was settled on was chosen after taking into consideration events that had already been planned. Troy’s last paper was on a Thursday which meant he could not be on the Island from Wednesday like everyone else. The alpha and his mate were therefore going to join the Soirée on Thursday evening.
