Thanks! I'm happy for the promotion! I still have a some things to work on before Signature. From my understanding Classic is for those authors who no longer post for whatever reason.
The pack induction, Elena, and Elijah’s reveal were a few of the loose ends that needed attention. Everyone needs a first kiss too.
Huntington needed to stage his own death in the human world so he can plan his attack.
Enya needed an introduction and I think Cassiel was curious about the Sentinels.
Trevor was seedy enough to make the truth work in his favor but he probably didn't know Enya had the secondary ability. More likely, she made the lies work in her favor.
