My dear Sebastian,

I wish I had good news for you but I don’t. I met with Joel and spoke about our situation. He was so cross when I explained that I’d made a mistake marrying Frank and that I wished to leave him and join you at the academy. His rage got out of hand and he hurt me. I’m scared, Sebastian. Joel wouldn’t let me leave. I tried everything to convince him that this is where my heart belongs, but he refused to listen. He believes that the work you are doing is dangerous and instead of loving you I should forget you exist.

I’m defying his orders by writing this letter and I fear retribution should he discover we’re still in touch. Zak is growing suspicious although he hasn’t asked me outright. I’m so glad Mia is too young to understand. I only hope that I can persuade Zak to come to you instead of Joel when the time comes. He is nearly sixteen so it’s getting close.

I believe in what you’re doing, Sebastian, and if it will save Zak and Mia from this fate and allow them to have a normal future, I hope you carry on without me.

I’ll try and write again soon but in the meantime know that I love you with all my heart and I wish we could all be together.

Yours forever, C x

I stared at the paper for a long time, unable to think, move or comprehend what it meant. Elizabeth’s mouth hung open as she struggled to find an appropriate response too.

Adam snapped us out of our stunned silence when he returned with three Diet Cokes.

‘What have I missed?’

I handed him the letter and waited until he’d finished reading. He let out a long, low whistle and passed it back.

‘So your mum and Sebastian were a couple?’

‘It certainly looks that way, but earlier, when I asked Sebastian if he had been having an affair with my mum, he said no. He admitted to loving her but nothing else.’

‘Who’s Joel?’ Adam cut in.

‘Never heard that name before. He sounds like her boss or something, but that doesn’t explain why Zak would go to him. Whoever this Joel is, he doesn’t sound very nice.’

‘How did he hurt your mother?’ Elizabeth asked.

I skimmed over the letter once more. ‘It doesn’t say, but she was definitely scared. I wonder if he had something to do with her death.’

‘I thought you said a werewolf killed your mum?’

‘Yes, that’s what it said on the file, and Sebastian confirmed it earlier. Maybe this Joel knew where they were and he took her to their lair. Do werewolves have lairs?’

Adam chuckled. ‘I think they have three-bedroomed houses and attend church every Sunday.’

I groaned. I was more confused than ever.

A young waitress arrived with our food and gave us a cheery smile. The burger smelt good and my mouth started salivating before I could unwrap the cutlery from the napkin.

‘What’s in the envelope?’ Elizabeth asked between mouthfuls.

I tugged the prize from my coat and tore it open.
