Luca wasn’t a chimera like the rest of the family, nor was he a pet like Jade. He was a tall, lanky boy with feathery gold hair. He always wore a headband adorned with cat ears and had been born and raised into servitude. Luca didn’t often speak, but not by choice. It was the nature of a sengil. Sengils were pretty, obedient, and loyal. Luca was Jade’s maidservant, though that term always made the corner of Jade’s mouth turn.
