Chapter 73

• I would be lying if I said I didn't go back to talk to Mr. Ghost. The weeks went by, and the routine of going to the waterfall became solidified. The third-year graduation was approaching; in fact, it would take place the following week. As such, Beta John decided to conduct intensive training with his sons to prepare Nicolas for the oath to Alpha.
• "Mr. Ghost, the school year is over, and I passed with flying colors. I got the best scores in the school, so I'm at the top of the rankings. I'm smart, right? I ended up taking a little vacation from the piano lessons I give to Caroline as well. There are people who are not on vacation yet, so they continue to attend school for tutoring and supplementary studies. Those who do not do well on the remedial exams will repeat the year, but thankfully I don't have to worry about that. I let out a soft laugh as I dangled my feet in the water.
• "Anyway, I have some news that you might not like. Next Thursday is the third-year graduation ceremony, where students take an oath to the alpha. On Saturday, after that, is the prom. I don't plan on going to the dance, mainly because it wouldn't be cool to go without a partner. My classmates usually avoid me; they think I'm weird, so I don't think I'll be missed there. Even though I'm weird, I've earned the beta's admiration. He thinks I'm strong. Because of his son Nicolas's graduation, he'll be giving a week of preparatory training, and I'll be going with his family to participate. Because of this, I won't be able to see you for the next few days. The beta went to talk to my grandmother in person to ask for permission to take me. My grandmother doesn't know that I already have my wolf, and I don't know what excuse he gave, but he managed to convince my grandmother without revealing my secret.
