LOGINThe pack house was full of laughter that night.That's been filled with laughter for months, even after.Yes, it has been months since the war ended, and though scars still lined the land, and the hearts of those who fought, there was peace now.

Giovanni:I’d been here so long, I’d stopped counting the hours.Because I knew that it's been more than days.Though I did not know how many, I knew that they were enjoying this. Each and every one of them saw it as their own victory. And though I did not want to admit it, I knew that it was my los

Sienna:The second the office door clicked after we walked inside, after Giovanni left, I felt something inside me break. I felt like the whole world under me crumbled, and like I was smaller than I ever was.I didn’t care that Damon was there. I didn’t care that we were still at work, or that the w
