“Were you with Charlotte when she was first learning about how to hone her hybrid skills?”

Greyson frowned and shook his head. “No. I’m much younger than she is. She’d already been mated to an abusive Alpha and

freed herself from that relationship before she and I met. She was fairly confident in herself when she and I got together. Still

always learning, though. That’s something you'll have to prepare yourself for.”

I thought about my Luna. “Whatever she needs, I’m ready to give her.”

“She’s lucky to have you, Zane.” Greyson tipped his beer mug toward mine. “But I’m sure you have

questions for me. Ask away.”

“Not even sure where to begin. I guess let's just start with the basics,” I said. “What's the biggest piece of

advice you have for me? How can I be ready to support Lanie, no matter what she needs?”

“That’s a tough one, since we’re not sure how her hybrid traits will manifest. We know about the mind

control talents, of course.” He laughed.

I didn’t. “Are you saying that I should be ready to let her make me hurt or kill people if that’s what she

decides to do?”

Greyson’s laughter cut off abruptly, and his smile faded. “No. Of course not.”

“But you're okay with what she did to you.”

“That was part of a test.”

“What if Malachi hadn’t stopped you? What if you’d ended up actually hurting Charlotte? Or worse?”

Greyson shook his head. “I realize how shocking that must have seemed, but I promise you, Zane, Malachi

wouldn't have allowed that to happen. And they couldn’t tell me ahead of time for my consent, because I had

to be totally ignorant of the test for it to work.

I'm really all right with all of it. They did what they had to do. There might be other difficult tasks for Lanie

to perform, too. If you’re called on to help her, then yes, be prepared. But I don’t think you have to worry about

her using you as a weapon.”

“That makes me feel a little better.” But only a little.

“The best advice I'd give you is to be prepared that you will age faster than she will. Dragons live a long

time, and even for us, Charlotte’s hybrid traits have given her a vampire’s lifespan.”

“And wolves don’t live that long,” I said.

“Not usually. No. So you should be ready to serve her for the rest of your life...but not the rest of hers.”
