I'm at war with the masters of death and my love for three men-but this is the path I've chosen.

My head is full, but my heart has room for another. Why can't I make it open up to Stefan the way it has to a man I grew up hating and my former kidnapper?

But when those feelings do come, what am I to do? I have missions to face and lives to save.

We could all die tomorrow. If we do, I need them all to know how I feel.

But Matteo might not be able to love, James is in over his head, and the Veilth have taken Stefan as leverage.

I can't give them up. I have to follow the path I've chosen, but they make it so difficult.

All I want is a happy ending, but in this war and with these men, I'm not sure it'll come.
