Stepping into Enzo's party at Nordholt Manor felt like entering a different realm altogether. The lively atmosphere of the youthful gathering sharply contrasted with the typically serious and glamorous dinners hosted at the manor. It was a wild, unpretentious celebration, markedly different from the formal events I had attended there before. The crowd was a mix of familiar faces from school and others I didn't recognize, some appearing a bit older than our usual high school peers. This wasn't just any party; it was Enzo's 18th birthday celebration, a significant milestone in the life of a werewolf, particularly for a future alpha like him. As Alex and I navigated the lively scene, his arm draped protectively around my neck, I couldn't help but appreciate the stark difference from the norm.
