You killed a fae in the form of a wolf to survive as a mortal, you didn't know it was a fae, so you shot him with a bow. Not long after, Tamlin—a high elf in the Spring Court—came to pay the debt. He gave you a bur, or he will kill you for that wolf, or you will go with him to his manor.

You chose to live in his manor

He didn't hurt you, on the contrary, he wasn't entirely trusting, but he tried to be nice, he defended you from Prythan because the fae world was dangerous to humans

you were just walking in the garden when you heard footsteps behind you and out of the corner of your eye you saw Tamlin, a tall, muscular blond man with golden-green eyes
