​At her mention of the Blood Marshal, the blood in my veins froze, the weight of the figure that had stood over me at night boring into me again despite his obvious absence.
​The Blood Marshal was the reason I was the way I was now, with the shadows and the eyes I could not expose to anyone except Althea.
​Yet, after more than a decade, I still could not understand what exactly had happened that night that I was finally able to break free from the High Alpha's machinations and control.
​It still perplexed me that it was the High Alpha's own second that let me save my people that night and more of them ever since. He or she was the catalyst for the North Clan existing, and I still did not understand why.
