“Eh, most of the exercises are done in teams,” Elliot said, “so at least you’ll have some of thoseYear Fours on your side, balancing things out.”

I let out a great big sigh of despair. This was freaking terrible. I wasn’t kidding when I said I was the least athletic person he’d probably ever met.

I hated to exercise. Iloathedrunning. And I thought competitive sports were stupid.

This was going to be an even bigger disaster than Dragon Riding was.

Bad-Dragon,Miki-Leopard announcedagain, as if she hadn’t already said it every single time I’d referenced or thought about the Dragon Riding class from hell.

“On a completely separate subject,” Elliot said, “why does your leopard keep calling me Bad-Dragon?”

“Wait. You can hear her?”

“Of course, I can.”

“What do you mean of course? No one else hears her!”

“Yes, but no one else is your mate.”

“WHAT???”

CHAPTER 7

I didn’t exactly reactwell to Elliot’s claim.

After expressing my shock and disbelief, I stormed off, leaving him standing in the hallway outside the library, looking a bit shellshocked.

Did you know this?I demanded of Miki-Leopard as I stormed up four flights of stairs.

Bad-Dragon sexy.

I sighed.I know you think he’s sexy. As it happens, so do I, but that doesn’t answer my question. Did you know he’s our mate?

Bad-Dragon mate?

Yes. He says he’s our mate.

A burst of happiness exploded through me and I realized that just like me, she hadn’t known. She’d just been following instincts, reacting to his scent without knowing why, which made perfect sense now that I thought about it, considering how young she was.

Miki-Leopard mate Elliot-Dragon?

There was so much hope in that one thought, I couldn’t possibly tell her no. I didn’t want to tell her yes either, though.Maybe. Probably. But not yet.

Soon?

If I knew anything aboutsupernaturals, monsters and shifters in particular, I wasn’t going to be able to avoid the mating for long. Biology and sheer, old-fashioned lust would get the better of me eventually.Yes. Soon.

Miki-Leopard mate Elliott-Dragon soon.

At least one of us was happy about this turn of events.

Dear goddess, Elliot was a chameleon dragon, just like Lydrel Zowen. What if something happened to me? Would Elliot follow me into death the way fated mates were supposed to or would he follow Zowen’s path and turn into a true monster?

This was why I never wanted a mate. The outcome could be as devastating as it might be wonderful.

A few moments later, I burst into my room and barreled through the opendoors from my room to Jasmine and Kasi’s.

Jasmine was lying across her bed, studying a book.
