“It has to be for now.”
“Sure, because a giant black cloud moving down the hallway isn’t going to look more suspicious than a couple sneaking around.” He shoots me a look that keeps me from countering.
Point taken. Not that we’re a couple. Not that I wouldn’t climb the man like a tree if presented with the right set of circumstances. I cringe as we make it to the main hallway of the dormitory. There will never, ever be a right set of circumstances when it comes to him,
let alone right after he’s executed half a dozen people. But in my defense, and in a sick, twisted way, his rescue was pretty damned hot, even if he is hauling me down the hallway at an untenable speed. Even if he only did it because my life is tied to his.
uh huh lol
This is fine. This is absolutely fine. “But just in case you are,” Xaden

“He thinks this place is too dangerous for someone…like me, and after what just happened, I’m not sure I can really argue with him.” I was asleep. That’s the only time we’re supposed to be guaranteed safety around here. “I don’t think I’ll bother sleeping again.” I shoot a look sideways at his irritatingly gorgeous profile. “And if you even think about suggesting that you sleep with me for safety from now on—” He scoffs. “Hardly. I don’t fuck first-years—even when I was one—let alone…you.” “Who said anything about fucking?” I fire back, cursing myself as the ache in
my ribs only intensifies. “I’d have to be a masochist to sleep with you, and I can assure you, I’m not.” Fantasizing about it doesn’t count. “Masochist, huh?” A corner of his mouth quirks into a smirk. “You hardly give off snuggly morning-after vibes.” A smile of my own curves my lips. “Unless you’re worried about me killing you while we sleep.” We round a corner, and the tunnel continues.
You’re going to have to get over that. All we are after graduation are weapons, and it’s best if we’re honed before leaving the gates.” “Is that where we’re going? Are we leaving the gates?” I’ve lost all sense of direction in here. “We’re going to ask Tairn what the hell just happened.” Xaden’s jaw flexes. “And I’m not talking about the attack. How the hell did they get past your locks?” I shrug but don’t bother to explain. There’s no way he’ll believe me. I barely believe it myself. “We’d better figure it out so it doesn’t happen again. I refuse to sleep on your

None of your business what I choose or do not choose to channel toward my rider,”
“I got the message to you just fine, human.”
“Seems like you had thirty seconds gifted to you.”
Don’t hurt him,”
“He saved me.”
Do not dare to try and read me, human, or you’ll regret it.”
“At least we agree on something.”
Nature likes all things in balance,”
“That’s the first thing we’re taught.”
Well, not the first thing.”
The first thing is we shouldn’t bond until we’re full-grown.”

“Let her explain,”
Feathertails shouldn’t bond because they can accidentally gift their powers to humans,”
“Dragons can’t channel—not really—until we’re big, but we’re all born with something special.”
No,”
“A signet is a combination of our power with your own ability to channel. It reflects who you are at the core of your being.”
“But I gave my gift directly to you.
Because I’m still a feathertail.”
You’re still a feathertail?”
“Yep! For another couple of years, probably.”

I am not!”

“She’ll be full-grown in a year or two, but some are slower than others,”
“And if I thought she’d actually bond, I would have objected harder to her Right of Benefaction.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
