"You love it more. Come on let's see the next game." I blinked at him and smiled a genuine smile, taking his hand in mine. He gave a squeeze, a faint blush creeping on his cheeks as he pulled me towards the next stall. I felt my heart go into an overdrive. They next game was crazy birds, it was pretty much like the angry birds. The colorful blocks were stuck to each other lightly with 8 stuffed birds on it.

The air between them crackled, the mate bond's invisible thread tightening, sending shivers down Alya's spine. Alya circled slowly, her boots sinking slightly into the grass, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "Ready to test that exile's edge, Kael?" she called out, her voice rich and teasing, carrying the warmth of a hearth fire but edged with the steel of challenge. "You've sparred with the pack, but me? Let's see if Ash can keep up with Ember. No holds barred—shift when you feel it, mind-link if you dare."

"Dante, I–" "Don't say another word. Here's what you will do." I pinned him with a hard stare. "You will cut off all contact with Maria, effective immediately. I don't give a shit if she's your one true soulmate and you never find love again after her. From this moment on, she doesn't exist to you. You will not see, speak, or otherwise communicate with her. If you do, I will freeze every damn account you have and blacklist any person who assists you financially."

The world before my eyes began to crumble. The Coronation Hall, the bloodstained throne, Killian’s cooling corpse... Everything shattered like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer, dissolving into countless motes of light. The System’s voice rang out in the void one last time, filled with arrogant charity: [Congratulations on clearing the game. Wish granted: Full Resurrection.] [Disconnecting...] [Game Over.] Route 66, The RV. A violent jolt. I snapped my eyes open.

Rachel made a squeaking sound, we all looked at her. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Maria said.

I silently thank the Goddess that I kept my thin shirt on last night, too exhausted to pull it off. I notice a scroll on the ground close to my feet.
