The smile on my face faltered, replaced with a deep frown. “Divorce agreement?" I looked up, my brow knotted as confusion flashed in my eyes. Maverick nodded gently and said. “Just like you see. Sign it. I'm quitting the marriage." He simply said, his words hanging in the air. It was as if everything around me froze.

Her bare feet made no sound, but her presence pressed gently against the world, as though it were remembering how to move with her. Mira broke the quiet first, her voice low but honest. “Where exactly are we going?” Azriel didn’t look back. “To the place where the Pattern broke…” He paused. His next words came quieter. “Before it even began.” Velan frowned, walking slower now, fingers brushing the hem of his robe like he was counting truths he hadn’t told yet. “That’s a paradox.” “No,” Elarai said from behind him. “That’s prophecy.” The boy said nothing. But his flame pulsed faster, quicker than breath, like it knew something terrible was about to remember itself.

Faced with Maureen's question, Serena found herself unable to answer. Sometimes, not meeting is better than meeting. If possible, she wished to never see him again in this lifetime. Serena didn't respond because she didn't know how to reply to Maureen, knowing Serena well, said, "If the Kade Corporation really collaborates with Brad, you won't be able to avoid seeing him eventually. Are you ready for that?" Serena smiled, "What do I need to prepare for? There's nothing between us anymore. It's been over for a long time."

Next, they began to recite words of incantations, and speak in strange languages like they were hypnotized. "We'll know why we're here." The voice of our oldest female alpha spoke up. "We're here to witness the holy matrimony of Aurora Devine Wood and Shane Gledova." Each word that came out of her mouth, was accompanied by dead silence. "As the unite today in holy matrimony, may the moon goddess bless and approve of their union, and give victory to our pack." She prayed. As she spoke, my heart froze in silence. I knew what was going to come next.

Isaiah and Josiah exchange one of those twin looks that lasts a second but holds entire conversations. The Triplets do the same, theirs older, heavier. Finally, Isaiah speaks. “There was a prophecy,” he says. “Long before any of you were born. Before we took our thrones. Before the Accord was signed in its current form. The realms were… breaking.”

“An earlier system.” The room felt colder. “Earlier than the gods?” “Yes.” I whispered, “That means…” Death finished the thought. “The Collapse Protocol predates us.” My mind struggled to understand. “Before the gods existed?” “Yes.” “Before divine order?” “Yes.” “Before you?” Death nodded once. Kieran’s voice dropped. “Then who made it?” Death answered quietly. “I don’t know.” That admission felt heavier than anything else he had said. Kieran laughed under his breath.

The ship began to dissolve into white light. ​"THE END?" flashed across the sky. ​And then, a new line appeared, written in Nora’s own handwriting: "NO. THE PREFACE."

Galarva was clueless about my talk of a second chance at life. "Reset button? What are you even talking about? You're not making any sense!" I ended the call and replied Galarva confidently, "Don't worry about them. I've got an ace up my sleeve." I grabbed the megaphone and turned to face the sea of people before me.
