  1. "Not that way," Thomas said quietly. He stared at me for a minute and then nodded, some of the tension leaving him. "Come on. I'll take you around the guards and monitors. If my father sees you leaving, he might try to kill you again."
  2. I turned around and fell into step beside Thomas. The puppy whimpered and I scratched him behind the ears. "What do you mean, again?"
  3. He spoke quietly, his eyes flat. "Inari. He sent her to you when he saw that you left my chambers."
  4. "If he wanted me dead, why didn't he just come and do it?"
  5. "It isn't how the White Court fights, Harry. We use misdirection, seduction, manipulation. We use others as instruments."
  6. "So your dad used Inari."
  7. Thomas nodded. "He intended her to have you as her first."
  8. "Um. First what?"
  9. "First lover," Thomas said. "First kill."
  10. I swallowed. "I don't think she knew what she was doing," I said.
  11. "She didn't. In my family, we start off life like any other kid. Just... people. No Hunger. No feeding. No vampire stuff at all."
  12. "I didn't know that."
  13. "Not many do. But it comes on you eventually, and she's about the right age. The panic and the trauma must have acted like a catalyst on her Hunger." He stopped by a panel in the wall and nudged it with his hip. It slid open, revealing a dim corridor between interior walls. He went down it. "Between that, the painkillers, and the exhaustion, she didn't know what was going on."
  14. "Let me guess," I said. "The first feeding is lethal."
