...!!! Angelo POV !!!...

Today is Izzy birthday. I'm currently in my room getting ready to go to the venue. I decided to just wear an all black and white suit. Everyone had already left before me. It took me some time because I'm still in that mourning mood not wanting to do anything. I did promise Izzy I was going to go so I will. I went in my car and drove towards the venue.

When I got there, it was very packed. The venue was very beautiful and big. It was full of different mythical beings from all over in their masquerade theme outfits. There are even humans mixed into the party. I went over to the guys by the refreshments table. There was Raphie, Luc, and Marcelo. Raphie was wearing a black suit with a gold vest and tie, Marcelo had a gray suit, and Luc had a regular black and white suit. I walked up to them.

"Hey guys". They looked up at and Luc passed a drink to me.

"Hey Angelo. I didn't think you was going to come", Raphie said.

"Of course, I had to come. I promised Izzy I was going. Where are the girls anyway?"

"Oh they went to the bathroom to touch on their makeup and do what other girls like to do in the bathroom", Marcelo said. We were talking for quite a bit. Then the girls came over.

Rae had a gold dress, Mariella had a black and white floral print dress, and Jackie had a black and gold lace dress.

"You guys are looking really beautiful". They each thanked me. After a while of talking, I saw Izzy and her friends.

"Hold on you guys. I'll be back". I walked toward Izzy and her friends.

She looked so beautiful. She had on a pink dress with matching flats. Aria had a turquoise short dress with matching heels, and Conner had matching colors with Aria since he was her date.

"Hey Izzy, Aria, and Conner. You guys all look very nice". I gave each of them a hug.

"Thanks Angelo. I'm so happy you came". I took out a square box from the inside of my suit pocket.

"Here. This is for you". She opened the box and it was a necklace that I had bought for her that she had saw at a window a while back. It was a single pearl with a gold chain. She said it had reminded her of Ariel her favorite disney movie that's why she wanted it. Since she couldn't afford, I decided to get it for her.

She ran to me and hugged me. "Thank you Angelo. I love it very much".

"Your welcome. It was no big deal". I left and went to see where my parents were. They were sitting at the table talking to Mia and Gio. I went up to my parents and hugged them.

"Hey mom. Hey dad". My mom was looking beautiful wearing a silver dress and my dad had a grey suit.

"Hey honey. Are you ok?". I sighed.

"Yes mom. I'm fine". I turned to Mia and Gio and greeted them as well. Mia had a shimmery black dress and Gio an all black suit. Everyone was looking nice with their couples.

After talking to them. I went on the sideline and just was watching everyone. A couple of people did come up to me to ask to dance, but I declined them all. I kept looking at all of the couple wishing Z was here with me. Sometimes I want to be selfish and end it all so I can be with her wherever she is, but I couldn't do that to everyone.

Luc had came next to me after dancing with Mariella.

"Hey Angelo. are you okay?".

"Yeah Luc, I'm fine. Thanks for asking".

"Look Angelo, I know you're thinking about Zoryna, so talk to me. What's up?"

"You're right. I am thinking about her. I mean what do you expect when I see loving couples around me. I just miss her so much. I wish she was still here".

I didn't want to talk anymore. So I left and walked outside behind the venue. It had a nice garden and pond full of ducks. I went and sat down on the bench. I plucked a red rose from the bush next to the bench. It was really beautiful. It had reminded me of the day when I gave Z her purple roses on the day of our first date.

That day was so fun when we went to the bowling alley. I just started thinking about the other memories we shared together. Then the day of the battle came to my mind. I put my hands on my face. I still can't believe she's gone.

"Is this seat taken?". I looked up and saw a lady. She had cocoa skin. She had a long red dress, her hair in a bun, and she was wearing a black mask covering her face. The only thing I saw was her brown colored eyes. I'm not going to lie she was beautiful from what I can see, but she wasn't Zoryna.

"No it's not". She sat next to me.

"Hi my name is Abriella but you can call me Abri". I turned my head to look at her.

"Look not to be mean or anything, but I'm not looking for anything at this moment". She started to laugh.

"What's so funny?".

"You're funny. Who said I wanted anything from you. Maybe a person like me saw someone like you who just needed a friend to talk to. You seemed sad and lonely, so I decided to keep you company if that's okay with you".

"Uhm sure. Anything to keep my mind away from sad memories".

"What sad memories?"

"Oh nothing it was just about someone who I miss".

"Like a relative or friend?"

"No just my m- I mean my girlfriend". I didn't know if she's human or some mythical being. I can't really tell.

"Oh and it's fine I know you were about to say mate. I understand about the ways of the werewolf packs".

"Well yeah my mate died and I've been missing her a lot lately. I just feel so lost sometimes. I wish she was here right next time me. It would make my day even better".

"Well what if I told you that you can and will see her again". I looked at her and then out towards the pond.

"What are you talking about?, and I don't think that's possible she dead and gone. I'm just going to have to learn to accept that".

She sighed and stood up, then she whispered something I couldn't understand. After a smack of lavender scent filled my nose, my head flew up fast and I looked into her eyes. It wasn't brown anymore but purple.

I stood up slowly while she took off her black mask. She smile at me.

"Hi Angelo".
