I needed a break. My life had become a whirlwind of work and responsibilities since we left the Pit, and I needed a break to remember why I was even working so hard. I'd never imagined my life would turn out like this. I'd dreamed of getting out of the Pit and building my little pack. I never thought I'd been acquiesced into saving the world with siblings I never knew about. I spoke with my siblings the morning after the bonfire in the coven and let them know I needed a few days away, and to my surprise, they all agreed, and even more than that. They asked to come along, and I realized I wasn't the only one who needed a break. My heart sank. My quiet weekend alone was quickly morphing into a family holiday. But, I figured, maybe it wouldn't be so bad, and they clearly needed to get away
