Yorick:
Leysa was tired in chains. It seemed like she had been here for a while.
I remembered getting the news when my parents told me they were going to get Leysa mated to my brother, and it shook the world from under my feet because it made no sense.
My brother did not understand the concept of mates, so I knew for a fact my parents had brought her here for some plan they had concocted.
"Yorick, you're Clementine's friend. Please help me," Leysa pleaded again in her broken voice.
Her eyes were swollen, as if she had not spent a single day without crying. I looked at her for a few seconds before turning to my mother.
"What is this?" I demanded, pointing toward Leysa.
"Before you judge us, it is for your brother's safety," my mother replied. "Do you not remember what Ian's grandfather told us? How to fix that specific kind of monster your brother is?"
My mother rushed forward and grabbed my hands, holding them together while looking at me with pleading eyes.
