Caelan Moonfang
Leaving Silverreach wasn't a decision I agreed on, but then it was one of those situations where one's hands are tied, and mine were locked behind me. I left with everything precious he had. He gave it all to me, without holding back. Even his most trusted maid.
Viola cried for days after we left. She kept saying how much they would bully him, how they hated him, but it wasn't my place to do anything. This was a path he had chosen, and I wasn't about to stick my neck out to be chopped off for his decisions.
The ride back to Moonfang was calm and cold. My mother and brother rode together while Viola took care of me. As promised, a male servant arrived the same day they did. Idris was competent in his work, but not better than Alvin. But aside from his capabilities, something else was off about him, something I was sure his master knew about. The young, frail, slender, pale-looking man wore the scent of a beta, but I could tell he was nothing of a beta.
