It was a blow that I couldn't even begin to fathom, a choice that had sent shockwaves through both our clans and set the stage for the deteriorating relationship between the Blood Moon Clan and the Silver Moon Clan.My sister, Seraphina, had always been the favored one, bathed in the glow of my father's approval and expectations.
