Later, as the gathering dispersed and the moon began its slow descent, I stood alone at the edge of the clearing, watching the realms breathe easier beneath the stars. Killian joined me, silent as ever. “You did it,” he said softly. I shook my head. “We did.” He smiled faintly. “The gods won’t like that.” I smiled too, slow and knowing. “Let them,” I murmured. I had died once bound by fate. Lived again under its shadow and risen, not to fulfill prophecy, but to break it. I looked up at the moon, light cool against my skin. “I was reborn to defy fate,” I whispered to the night. “And this time… I choose my ending.”

Xander asked, his voice thick with a father’s fierce, protective love. Evangeline looked at the golden eyes of her daughter, seeing the strength of the pack and the wisdom of the stars reflected within them. "Astra," Evangeline said, her voice multi-tonal and serene. "Astra Lyra Cross. The star that leads us home." The chapter ended with a panoramic shot of the planet. The teal clouds were gone, replaced by a sky of deep, peaceful violet. In the St. Louis Arch, Emma turned to the cameras and smiled, the news of the birth already rippling through the "Unity-Feeds."

She prayed to every god out there that he would just drop over. “I’m afraid so, yes.” The doctor hung his head but Maia just leaned hers back and gave a small smile. “I win, bastard.” She whispered into the universe. “You were in pretty rough condition... Do you want to explain what happened to you?” They offered to listen, already knowing the truth. Maia just shook her head no.

The curse is breaking, and no punishment is good enough to make me throw away the idea of freedom now that it's closer to me than ever before. So, I'll sing for now, and simply cherish this moment of peace before its gone. "Listen to my voice, feel me in your arms, wrap me up in the colours of your love, and kiss me with the lies that you love. I don't need you like you need me. I'm a moon child. One that speaks to the moon. And I'll sing with the stars, And dance in the light of your dreams. And just cause you're not here, doesn't mean I'm lonely."

Eyes reddening, Irene nearly got on her knees as she pleaded, "I know you hate me now. You can just find someone else then! It doesn't matter if you use a surrogate or rely on IVF. As long as it means having your child and saving your life, I won't stop you!" "No," Henry rejected at once. "Elena is the only one who can bear my children." Instantly, the atmosphere grew heavy. All the color drained out of Irene's face. It looked as though she had been dealt a severe blow. On the other hand, Henry looked over at Isaac and said calmly, "Fly to Etolia and look for Elena. Tell her that unless she agrees to have this baby for me…" Henry's gaze turned piercing as he finished his sentence in a dark v

“Don’t feel sorry for me. I’ve always been proud of you. “And don’t hate me, Luna. I wasn’t there for much of your life, but I hope you’ll become brave and responsible…” My smile faded. Then came Luna’s wailing cries, crashing through the silence like shattered glass. And I heard so many voices from that mountain, from the countless lights across the land. They were proof that I had been here, that I had lived. And for that… My journey in this world had been worth it. … Epilogue - Amber Sky

Her eyes swam with tears, causing the spring countryside to smear in her vision like an impressionist painting. “I’m sorry, mummy,” Calleigh whispered, placing her hand on her mother’s gravestone. “I couldn’t destroy him like I thought. I didn’t have the strength.” Calleigh knelt, brushing earth off the gray marble angel before placing half the daisies on her grave. “I’m going to have his baby any day now. And I forced him to promise to stay away from us. This was my only punishment for Gabriel De León, the man who destroyed our lives… our happy family.”

“Quit this bullshit and go sit for dinner!“ She angrily turned off the television. “Why did you do that? Mrs. Nora Williams was about to announce the date for the pick.“ I sluggishly stood from the floor with a huge frown on my face. “You mean the hideous, wicked witch of the west?“ Megan retorted with a scoff. “Mrs. Tera Greygott is the wicked witch of the west. I'm talking about Mrs. Nora Williams.“ I explained, slapping off a peck of dust on my faded gown. “All rich folks are wicked witches of the west, be it Williams or Greygott. Now go sit!“ She fired back, walking past me with angry steps. “No offense, but I think you're the only one with that mindset. Every other person around here se

I felt Vicky tap my elbow. "I-I'm Aliana R-Reeves. I've been with Stardom for almost eight years already. They're t-he ones who helped me get to where I am right now in the industry, and they actually opened a lot of opportunities for artists like me. And I-I am forever grateful to them," I said, looking at everyone except him. I want to slap my face right now for stuttering a lot because I can feel him staring as I talk. Anyone in my position would understand. Imagine having a one-night stand with a stranger and hoping you would never see him again. Then one day, he'll just appear, offering a major sponsorship to your agency—the amount of bad luck I have.
