Mia jumped back dramatically. “Everyone take cover!” The volcano erupted with a foamy explosion. Children shrieking. Mia laughing. Allen celebrating. Liam groaning. And Aria— Aria just stood there in the middle of the beautiful noise, Liam’s hand warm in hers. Three years ago she had been afraid to imagine this life. Now she was standing inside it. Messy, loud, and full of love. And finally- Home. ❤️ THE END

That dream never came true. So, one day, Aria decided that if she was going to die alone, she would do it in The Dying City. Her life had ended before it ever truly began. The least she could do was choose where to wait for the end. "All done, sweetheart! Tia is as good as new." Aria handed the rag doll back to the little girl, who, for some reason, had come to trust her deeply.

Elandra gasped. “You’re not the only one who evolved.” Aria leapt forward, her wings slicing through the air like blades of moonlight. She landed in front of Elandra and drove her hand against her chest. The fire sputtered. The Sealed Alpha’s spirit roared inside Elandra, screaming through her throat. “You will not erase me!” But Aria’s light kept pushing. “I’m not erasing you,” Aria growled. “I’m claiming my legacy.”

"Together. Because from now on, Aria, you do not keep secrets from me." "That is not fair" "Fair?" He laughed, cold and sharp. "Darling, nothing about this is fair. That is what makes it fun."

And as the organ pipes overhead hummed faintly with the wind, she whispered something inaudible into the silence. Something old. Something final. ~~*~~ Back at Grant, Aria stood alone on the balcony overlooking the skyline. Jerry joined her quietly. “You’re quiet.” “I’m calculating.” He slid beside her. “What are you thinking?” “Daniel's not the problem. Not anymore. He’s the face. But Regina… She's the spine.” Jerry’s jaw tightened. “We underestimated her.” “And she’ll make sure we regret it.” They stood in silence for a moment, then Aria whispered, “This isn’t just revenge anymore, Jerry. It’s war. And it’s no longer just personal. It’s global.”

"I wanted to. I waited. I watched. But I wasn't sure you'd still want me. I'm not warm like Elara. I'm not steady like Selene. I'm… wrong. Obsessive. Cold." "You're mine," Aria whispered. "You've always been mine. That was never wrong." Their lips met again, slower this time. Less hunger. More ache. Eris lay back and pulled Aria with her, letting the smaller woman collapse into her arms. "You were the only warmth I ever wanted," she said softly, stroking Aria's back.

But Aria had never been made for endings. She was already walking toward what came next.
