Chapter 31: Eliane

Ancalagon follows me to my next class, anatomy of a human. This class, unlike the last is inside the big house. When we get there, he follows me inside the classroom.

“I didn’t know you were a human,” I say.

“I don’t have to be a human to take this class. I take the elf and Lycan classes too, but that’s mostly so I better understand how to defeat them in claimings,” he says, to me, looking around.

“This way,” he says, putting his warm hand on my back and guiding me to where he wants me to sit, beside Ajax. Ancalagon sits on my other side and I’m sandwiched in between the two of them.

“How was air class?” Ajax asks me.

“Good, I guess.”

“Did Zephyr figure out how you accessed your air?”

I glance an Ancalagon. “Cal says it’s because I was nervous or scared.”

Ajax nods. “That makes sense.”

I frown and look at him. “How so?”

“I wouldn’t say you were scared, I didn’t smell an increase in fear. But you were nervous. You were looking around, worried about the others getting hurt, weren’t you?”
