**ADDIE'S POV**
Things started to move fast after Nolan and I got home from the trip. The very next day I met with Vanya when she came to my apartment to show me the dress that she had prepared for my birthday. I knew that this year there would be a larger celebration than there had been last year, and I was OK with that this time. I wasn't as nervous being here as I had been before.
The reason that the party needed to be a bigger one this year was because it was my twentieth. And, according to the world of werewolves, of which I had always been a part of, I just hadn't known about it, I was going to, officially, be an adult. I was going to be ready for the academy, and Nolan and I could declare our relationship to the world, not that there were many people that didn't already know that I was betrothed to him.
