Rise of the Dawn

Chapter 20: Izzy Birthday Part 2

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

I slowly walked up to her and put my hands on her face and caressed it.

"Zoryna".

"Yeah it's me".

That's when I kissed her. I had to make sure she was real and not a dream. After my lungs screamed for air, I pulled away and kissed her on her forehead.

"How is it possible you're here? I mean what happened? Are you ok-". She covered my mouth with her hand and started laughing.

"Calm down Angelo. I will explain everything in due time, but right now I want go see everyone and say hi".

My wolf was so excited to see her that he pushed through at the moment. He hugged her tight.

"MINE".

"Yeah I'm all yours and I'm not going no where". I came back to the the surface.

"Hell yeah that's right. I'm not letting you go nowhere as well. Why did you introduce yourself as Abriella?".

"That's because I had to hide my identity, and it's my middle name duhh". She took my hand and pulled me behind her.

"Now come on let's go inside. I want to say hi to everyone especially Izzy since it is her birthday".

Before we went inside, she put her mask back on and I knew she wanted to surprise everyone. We walked to the door of the venue and went inside. We were holding hand and some people was staring a little. We walked up to Izzy and her friends first.

"Guys I want you to meet someone". They turned towards me and I had let go of her hands. She took off her mask.

"Surprise", she said. They all ran up to her and had a big group. She gave each of them a hug. They all started to cry.

"Aww I miss you guys so much".

"Omg Zoryna where have you been?, I can't believe you're still alive, Zoryna is that really you?". They all started to speak at once.

"Woah guys calm down not all at once. Like I told Angelo we'll have time for that later. For now, happy birthday Izzy. Are you ready for your present?".

"Aww Zoryna, you didn't have to. You being here is enough for me".

"Well too bad because I got you one, but first I want to see everyone and then I'll show it to you in front of everyone". We said our goodbyes and then went to see my parents, Gio, and Mia.

We walked up to them and my mom ran up to her. She hugged her and started crying.

"Don't you ever leave us like that ok?. My poor baby was over here being all heart broken".

"Of course I won't. I will never leave my baby again". I blushed at this point. She went to hugged my dad.

"I'm so happy to see you again Zoryna. Finally Angelo can stop moping around the house". I coughed.

"Can you guys stop putting me on blast?". Everyone laughed. She went up to hug Gio.

"Hi Gio. It's nice to see you again".

"Hi Zoryna. It's nice to see you again. This is my wife Mia". They hugged each other too.

"Hi Zoryna. I'm happy to meet you. See Angelo I told you she was going to come back".

"Aww I'm happy to meet you as well". We talked for a little bit and then went to go see the rest of the crew.

They were all by the refreshments area. Zoryna ran up behind Rae and Jackie hugged them. They both got shocked and turned around.

"Zoryna", they both said. They both hugged her back.

"Omg Zoryna. I can't believe you're here", Rae said.

"Yeah Zoryna. It's so good to have you back", Jackie said.

"I know. It's so good to see you guys too". Zoryna went up to hug Luc and Raphie.

"Aww it's so good to see my boys again. I hope you guys haven't been giving Angelo trouble while I've been gone".

"No it's actually the opposite. Angelo the one who's been giving everyone trouble". I glared at Raphie. Luc started to laugh.

"Hell yeah. Raphie is right you know", Luc said. Zoryna turned towards me.

"Don't worry he will hear from me later about that". Then she turned towards the twins.

"Hi my name is Mariella and my brother Marcelo. It's nice to meet you. We've heard so much about you".

"Aww come here don't be shy". She hugged Mariella then Marcelo. After, we were all talking and having simple conversations.

"Oh guys come on. I want to show you Izzy present". Izzy and her friends were at the table where my parents, and the twins parents were.

"Hi Izzy I wanted to show you you're present".

At this point, everyone had their full attention towards her. She left out the room and came back with a medium size box. She set it on the table. She opened it. She pulled out this glass case. Inside of it had this glowy bright light. When you looked really close, it looks like a star.

"You see Izzy this is a north star. It came from the sky aboves. Kia helped me get it for you". She handed the star to Izzy.

"It's in a glass case so that you can keep it up in your room and hang up somewhere. Oh and be careful because it's very fragile". Izzy went and hugged Z.

"Thank you Zoryna. I love it so much".

Afterwards, I pulled Zoryna on to the dancefloor when a slow song came on. She laid her head on my shoulder and we were just in our own world. An hour or two later, the party was finish, and we all went home. As soon as we got into the bed, Zoryna and I crashed out.

~ Next Morning ~

I woke up to the sounds of the water running. I went to the bathroom to see Zoryna brushing her teeth.

"Good morning love". I went and kissed her on the forehead.

"Good morning babe. While you're in the shower, I'm going to go downstairs and prepare breakfast".

I went in the shower, did my thing, and then I got out and put on my clothes. I went downstairs and saw everyone eating breakfast. I sat down next to Z and started eating with my cup of coffee. It was quiet until Conner decided to disturb the peace.

"Sooo Zoryna, I know I'm not the only one that have the million dollar question in their head like what happen? If you don't mind telling us". Zoryna started to laugh.

"Ok guys I guess I held off long enough. Anyway after the battle, I woke up in heaven. I was with Kia and my parents. We did talk and Kia knew how I wanted to come back down here. He told me that the big guy up there gave me a decision to stay there or come back. Of course, I chose to come back. It did come with a price though".

"What price?", I asked. She sighed.

"Well I don't have my powers anymore and my wings as well. I'm just a regular old human now".

"Oh no. So what does that mean now?", my mom asked.

"Well it means that when Angelo and I mate, and he marks me, I can become a werewolf like you guys". We all stared at her.

"Really?", I asked.

"Yeah. If you want, there is a way you can confirm it".

That's when I grabbed her, put her over my shoulders and ran up the stairs. I went inside the room and closed the door behind me. Well the rest is history.
