Claire Benning,
You will do anything we tell you.
At the bottom, the letter is simply signed G. G for Grace, Sebastian's mom.
I crumple the letter, hurling it into the wall.
The words, You will do anything we tell you, read a lot like the blackmail letter Sebastian and Seamus once wrote to me. Blackmail must run in his family, the same way lycanthropy runs in some others.
I have no need for an oracle to discern at this point that I shall have some big problem very soon with the Imperials. Rather, the question is, Do I want to have a Hunter problem as well as I face off against the Imperials? But even better yet, Can I fight one with the other?
On impulse, I rip off my clothes and jump out the window. The paws of my wolf form hit the ground hard, then I am off my parents property.
