Some folks get called to weddings.
Magnolia Locklear gets called to endings.
At twenty, Nola's already watched more things fall apart than most people see in a lifetime. Whole communities, traditions, stories-gone quiet and gone wrong. She doesn't stop it. She doesn't fix it.
She just makes sure it's remembered right.
So when Billy Black calls her to La Push, she packs a bag and doesn't ask questions.
That's never a good sign.
The wolves are loud, nosy, and a little too good at pretending everything's fine. They take to her fast-call her Mags, steal her food, argue like she's always been there.
They also don't say the part out loud:
She only shows up when something's about to end.
What nobody planned for?
The Cullens.
The wedding.
And Edward Cullen looking at her like the world just rearranged itself.
Which would be bad enough-if he weren't already in love.
If she weren't supposed to stay out of it.
If some bonds didn't decide themselves.
Now Nola's stuck in the middle of something she was meant to witness, not belong to-caught between fate, free will, and a boy who won't choose her... while another one already has.
And the worst part?
She's starting to think this ending might include her.
The narration knows the ending.
The characters are trying to survive it.
