Let's end this. ***

We didn't let the darkness win. END OF VOLUME ONE

Serina believed that we are the writer of our own, and every choice we make will determine our future. "This never-ending random repetition and alteration of the event will end the moment I survive the day after April 1st. So, hang on, Seri.

Nothing. “Then what’s left?” I asked, my voice hollow. Elara looked at me for a long moment, her expression unreadable. “That’s something you’ll have to figure out on your own.” I stood there staring at the ground, feeling the crushing emptiness inside me.

Until the stars burn out or the sea takes the island—whichever comes first.” I leaned my forehead against his. “Pomegranate,” I whispered (not as a safe word, but as the vow itself). He repeated it back like communion. “Pomegranate.”

Something terrifying and powerful and ours. Completely, irrevocably ours. Tomorrow would bring new threats. Tonight, we had peace. That was enough. It had to be enough. Because nothing else was promised. Except each other. And that was everything.
