Lanie had called us all to the training grounds without much of an explanation, but once let it all out. She needed to test her ability to compel people.

Of course I wanted to be there. If Lanie was going to be exploring any new range of absolutely going to be with her to make sure nothing went wrong.

“It’s going to be fine, love,” she said, hanging back from the others for a minute. “I promise you. My grandfather would never risk me, and Charlotte would never risk her mate.”

“Why can’t they have you test this on me?” I grumbled back at her.

She slipped her hand into mine and leaned against me. “Because I’ve already shown that I have the ability to compel you. We already have a connection.

My mind shot back to the night we’d met the dealer who was giving us the wolvesbane we needed to break the agreement between Zane and Rhiannon. That felt like a lifetime ago. She’d had to compel me that night to get me to back off, but I’d also agreed to do it once I felt her strength.

“We need to replace out if I can truly compel someone against their will, when they’re actively and strongly resisting” She paused, her brow creased with concern. “It seemed like I could do it with Orion, but everything was happening so fast, and then he was killed, so…it’s really hard to say. I need to be able to practice and test my limits, in a safe environment

Which this is”

I grumbled again. Of course i trusted her, but that wouldn’t stop me from also wanting to protect her.

“She will be fine with us, you know Malachi greeted Lanie with a kiss to each cheek.

“Chill, bro. Mason thought to me in a private link.

“He’s allowed to have other friends.”

I rolled my eyes as I turned to my brother and thought in reply, “Don’t act like I’m some kind of control

Mason didn’t reply with words, only raised eyebrows and a smug grin. I frowned, but backed off from calling after Zane as he went to greet the dragon shifter kept close to Lanie, though.

“Greyson.” Malachi said this smoothly, waving him over. “Thank you for coming.”

“Charlotte said there was something special she needed me for?” Greyson gave us all a curious look.

“You should go over there and wait for her,” Lanie said calmly without a hint of tension in her voice. She pointed to a bench on the other side of the room.

Greyson gave her a strange look. “Sure. Okay.”

We watched him go. When he was out of earshot, Malachi said quietly, “That was a good start. But you’re too timid, Lanie. You have to compel him to do something he absolutely otherwise would not wish to do.”

“Get the f uck out of my head!”

“See? Malachi turned to Lanie with a small grin ‘It can be as subtle as that Now you go on. Give it a try!
