Being the King of Mist, I had no obligation to explain myself to Cathy, but I knew she was hurt. I had known Cathy for a very long time and it was my father who had arranged my marriage with her. She knew what she was letting herself in for.
Cathy had lived in the castle with me for the past two years. Her brother wanted to marry her off to me as soon as she turned eighteen, but I was stalling, and I had no idea why. She had become a permanent feature of my home, and every servant and warrior knew she would eventually be my Luna. So when I punished her by asking her to move out of the castle, I knew I might set off a chain reaction of anger and animosity. It was just a matter of time before Nolan exploded. But with the constant danger lurking around Maeve, I couldn’t take chances.
