Chapter 516 The Last Dream on Stage

After Nathan's brief disruption, Tessa threw herself right back into work.

At last, the day of the concert arrived.

Tonight's venue was a massive stadium-capable of holding 100,000 fans.

And Tessa kept her promise: not a single ticket was sold. Every one of them had

been given out for free.

As the final countdown began, all six of them stood backstage together-for the

first time since they'd split.

They had waited far too long for this reunion.

Avery stood and extended his hand.

"Let's cheer the old way-like we used to."

No matter what, they had always been a team.

And tonight, they would stand on stage again, as one.

Steven and the others stood and placed their hands atop his. Tessa smiled and

joined them.

Yes. No matter what tomorrow held, this concert-this night-was a dream come

true.

And since it was, why not enjoy it to the fullest?

Forget what comes next. Tonight, rock lives on.

On the main screen, the final countdown appeared.

The fans below started counting along:

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

As the countdown ended, all five members of Avery Band rose from beneath the

stage on the platform lift.

The crowd erupted into deafening screams-even though the show had only just

begun, many voices were already hoarse.

The five stood onstage, gazing out at the vast sea of lights and color,

overwhelmed with emotion. The road that brought them here had been long,

messy, and far from easy

They had stumbled their way forward-but never once had they regretted it. They

just never imagined they would one day have to say goodbye.

As he turned to wipe his face, the stage lights caught the veins bulging on his

hand from the effort of suppressing his wolf strength.

This was his decision.

No one else's. Which meant he had to carry it alone.

Seeing him like this, the fans below couldn't help but cry with him.

Then the chants began:

"Avery! Avery! Avery!"

Wave after wave of voices rose, crashing through the stadium like a tide of

devotion.

Avery steadied himself.

This wasn't how he wanted to look tonight.

"Thank you, everyone, for coming to our concert," he said. "We've come a long

way-and it was your support that kept us from feeling alone. I never imagined I'd

be the first one to leave."

He continued, "Yes, it's true. There's a lot I'm reluctant to let go of. But that's life,

isn't it? Every beginning has an end. Every reunion leads to parting. Tonight, I just

hope to give you a concert you'll never forget. I hope you enjoy it. And wherever

life takes you-I hope you're well."

Avery had never spoken this much during a show.

He was usually cool and quiet on stage.

But tonight... he couldn't hold it in.

Steven came over and slung an arm around his shoulder. The other three

followed, wrapping him in a silent. show of unity.

Their bond-start to finish-had never changed.

"Avery," Steven said, "even if we can't play music together anymore, our hearts

will always be together. Nothing will change that."

"They were best friends-now and always.

Avery nodded silently.

"Avery Band! Avery Band! Avery Band!"

The fans, moved by the unbreakable bond between the five, shouted with

everything they had. Even if it meant losing their voices by the end of the night-

Tonight, they weren't holding back. Not for anything.
