    “Go! Xander! Go, Mason, you next!” Greyson had shifted into his dragon form, so the words came out ona


    hiss of steam.


    bar.


    | couldn''t get over the fact that dragons could talk.


    “What if our wolves could talk when we''re in that form?” | grunted as | jumped up to grab the firstdder


    Xander was one set of rungs ahead of me, his long legs dangling over the spi k e-li ned pit below us.


    ‘Can''t...


    imagine...they’d have much...f uck!”


    As one of his hands slipped, he swung from the other. | kicked his side a bit to get him swinging close enough so he could grab


    the rung again. We hung side by side, panting. The pit looked way too close.


    “If we fall in there, we could die,” he said with a grow!


    “Guess we''d better not f ucking fall in there, brother.” grinned and rocked my body again to get moving from rung to rung.


    Greyson was in side. He was still naked. A pattern of what


    his human form by the time we got to the att


    looked like scales gleamed faintly on his skin.From N?velDrama.Org.


    He grinned at us both. “Nice work.”


    “You all are not ying around,” Xander said with admiration.


    | grabbed a bottle of water from the icy barrel next to Greyson and drank half of it before | spoke. “We''re even better as our


    wolves. You probably feel the same as your dragon.”


    “Why do you think | was in that form? If either of you fell, | could’ve reached you in seconds with one wing.


    Kept you from ending up looking like porcupines instead of wolves.” Greysonughed as he pulled on a pair of sweatpants. “And


    your wolves could not have crossed thatdder. No fingers.”


    Xander drank some water “Could’ve jumped it, though.”


    “No s hit. Really?” Greyson looked at the pit, then at Xander He looked impressed ‘Show me”


    We spent the next couple of hours running each other through our paces As it turned out, wolves could outrun dragone on the


    ground, but we were no match when a dragon was in the sky


    Carit breath fire, either, Xander panted under his breath


    We were behind one of the walls in the training grounds Greyson was circling above, but he was at least a little hampered by the


    ceiling in open sky, Bungs would be totally different.


    | grinned. “F uck yeah, | am. It’s been too long sitting on our a ss es without doing much of anything Doesn''t


    it feel good to you?”


    “Yeah.” He leaned back to eye the shadow overhead as a bell rang from outside the training space.


    “Can''t quite get used to that,” | said as everyone inside returned to their human-shaped forms.


    Xander huffed out augh, and his wolf zed for a minute in his eyes. “Right? Like being in school all over again.”


    | | scanned the space for Zane and caught sight of him on the far side of the room talking to Greyson and a group of mixed Fae,


    witch, and vampire.


    “Hardly any of us here,” | murmured as we got ready to join the others. “Not pureblood, anyway. Not sure how many hybrids.”


    Xander also kept his voice pitched low. “But that’s not a surprise, all things considered.”


    “I''m super pi ssed off we missed out on all of this.”


    | gestured toward the groups of men and women congratting each other on the great workouts we''d all had today. “I hate


    feeling st upid and kept in the dark.”


    He nudged my shoulder with his and scooped up his jeans from where he''d left them. He pulled them on as he said, “Me too.”


    “If | find a way to make the Elders pay, I’m going to.” pulled on my own jeans and long-sleeved T-shirt, then found my boots.


    ‘lll be right there with you, brother. Zane! Hey!”


    Xander waved an arm.


    Our Beta turned to us, hands on his hips, with a grin that stretched from ear to ear. “Grey''s telling me about this sweet setup


    setup he’s got for supes that can fly.”


    “So we''re not hampered by the roof,” Greyson said, pointing upward. “Not that you boys would know. anything about flying.”


    “Yeah, yeah, | said, not taking the bait.


    Xander slung an arm around Zane’s shoulders for a moment. “Dragons fly. Lanie said vampires can, too.”


    “Some can. Witches can, but not on their own. They need a spelled object. Fae can, of course, but it’s more like hovering or


    gliding for them.” Greyson looked at Zane. “I’m happy to show you, if you’re interested.”


    Zane shot us both a look “That sounds awesome, man. Do either of you ?”


    “You go ahead,” | said before my brother could answer “We''ll catch up with youter”


    | had things | needed to talk about with my brother


    He was the only one who''d understand.
