Victory can be its own bitter defeat.

"Hell yeah! WOOOOOHO!!" Nate suddenly howled like the Wolf that he was from across the mats.
Brandon turned his way as he shouted and then Brandon smiled as he watched Nate running across the room towards him and for a moment Brandon had to shake the crazy image he had of a large grey wolf, tongue lolling out of its mouth running right for him.
Walter and Ezekiel weren't far behind. Nate jumped into the air just before he got close and Brandon laughed as he watched him clear five feet of air effortlessly. He skidded to a stop next to Brandon and gave him a very enthusiastic punch in the arm that made Brandon stumble to the side.
Nate smiled at him in apology as Brandon rubbed away the pain, then he watched as Nate walked over to his table bound brother. Careful not to get within his reach, Nate preceded to taunt him.
"Wow its 2 and 0 for you today Lander. First Walter and now....?" Nate laughed at him heartily. "Candy pants rules! Looks like brain beat brawn today, huh?" He said looking away from Lander towards Walter.
Lander roared in impotent fury and cussed him.
Walter nodded and graced Brandon with one of his rare smiles. "Good job." he said. "I was surprised. You're extremely fast for a mortal and you think well on your feet, maybe next week Ill spar with you instead of these fools?"
Brandon nearly choked as he stared up at the large man. Brandon knew that he wouldn't even know where to begin. Walter was huge and way to grounded. "But your huge, I cant beat you in a fight!." Brandon blurted out backing away.
Walter smiled again and chuckled. "You didn't beat Lander, but you did out smart him." he pointed out. "Perhaps a game of chess will be a better battle ground for you and me?"
Brandon nodded. "Yeah, sure." Brandon was genuinely relieved and surprised that he had impressed the large brother at all.
Nate walked over to the weapons table and grabbed a small golden key from among the pile. He walked over to Landers cuffed hands and after a moment he had him free of the silver cuffs.
Lander rubbed his bloody wrist smearing the blood. Then he walked up to Brandon. He paused a moment and Brandon worried that he was going to enact some horrid revenge. But then he put his hand out and after mentally checking to make sure that his energy was under tight wraps Brandon shook it.
"Nice job with the hand cuffs..." Lander said heavily, releasing Brandon's hand quickly. "Even though we both know I'm stronger then you...."
"Lander!" Ezekiel and Nate both growled at him in clear warning.
Lander held his hands up in surrender. "Okay! I'm sorry for all the queer jokes and for saying that I'm better then you..." Lander tipped his head forward in a small bow of apology. "Your all right...for a queer."
Nate rolled his eyes and Ezekiel hissed, but Brandon just shook his head.
Brandon laughed at Landers half-assed apology and said. "Huh, I guess that will have to do...?" He said to himself. Then with a shake of his head Brandon decided to concede. " But I guess for a Homophobe you sure do have your moments of decency."
"I try...I try real hard." Lander shrugged without any further inflection.
"Welp! I'm hungry." Nate barked suddenly stretching his arms above his head. Giving Brandon a full view of his chest and well defined smooth stomach.
And just like that, now that all the adrenaline was fading away Brandon realized that he was standing in a room full of half clothed great looking men. Great looking men he barely found himself attracted too. It was the darndest thing. Brandon wondered if he was just so stressed that his libido was sorely diminished.
But even though all of Ezekiels brothers were handsome to him he realized that he felt no attraction to any of them. They were all great guys, but for some reason Ezekiel was the only one who made him feel uncomfortable. He was the only one Brandon wanted to touch. The only one he wanted to let touch him.
Lander put his arm across Nate's shoulders and hugged his head down in a playful grapple. "Hey, I'm hungry too....let's go fire up the grill. I'd kill for a slab of bloody ribs right now."
Nate was pulled along as Lander headed towards the Sparing room's exit. With Walter following close behind a smile spread across his face for the first time that Brandon could remember. It startled him greatly to behold it and he forced himself not to stare as the eldest brother moved away.
"I want my ribs extra raw. No burning them this time..." Walter called out as he tailed his siblings out of the room entirely. "Lander you know I'm talking about you right...?"

Tales Of A Shifter (B3) - Secret Threat Chapter 20 - Tender Cruelty
Chapter 20"Brandon! Brandon get up!?" Ezekiel shouted at him, but Brandon didn't respond. He didn't move or moan. Jacob had struck him out cold.Shock, pain and surprise had kept Ezekiel mostly silent as Brandon and Jacob had played out their intense drama. But as they had spoken Ezekiel had fought and clawed at the bottom of his strength trying to Shift. Or simply gather the power to stand up and fight, but Jacob had gone too far. And as Brandon scent hit the air....a sharp unintelligent rage lit up his soul."You're a dead man...do you fucking hear me! " Ezekiel started to surge to his feet, his eyes locked on the man he was going to kill for harming something so precious and vital to him."Ahhh!" Ezekiel couldn't help but roar as his head was suddenly yanked back by the roots of his hair and one of the lions put a long sharp blade to his throat instantly cutting into the skin just enough to draw fresh blood and keep him from struggling lest Ezekiel rip his own wind pipe to shreds.
Tales Of A Shifter (B3) - Secret Threat Chapter 19- I Will Kill You
Chapter 19Suddenly Jacob was back across the clearing and with the dull side of the blade he pressed the cool metal to his flesh and forced Brandon to look at him."Oh what is this...are you crying Lil One?" Jacob sneered easily clocking the heavy mist trying to gather into Brandon's green gaze.Brandon felt his entire body seizing on rage and sorrow. His heart felt like it melting and his head was whirling with hatred for the lion.How could he!? I'll kill him!! I'll fucking kill him for this!!Brandon was sure that his face was bleeding over with cold wrath, but Jacob only laughed in light of the blood lust on his face. Making Brandon see deep red. "Your a monster..." he whispered spitefully preparing to lunge at the beast. "OHhhhh....So scary Lil one! You look like you want to disembowel me....Sounds like a fun time we can share, but there is no need to be so angry. I just wanted answers. So tell me is this boy somebody to you after all? Is he somebody special to you perhaps?"Hu
Tales Of A Shifter (B3) - Secret Threat Chapter 18 - His Little One
Chapter 18Jacob paced a small line in front of Brandon who stood and watched him warily.Brandon had slowly regained his composure over the last few seconds. He felt choked with both fear and rage, but he stood with his head held high...and his eyes trained on something far across the clearing and with a cool expression on his face.Brandon didn't make eyes contact with Ezekiel.....he knew it would be a mistake to call attention to the Guardian. Jacob...was dangerous.How did he find me so quickly?Brandon asked himself.How long before he rest of them find me?Brandon was jerked form his introspection as Jacob suddenly stopped pacing and spoke"You look so upset...." Jacobs heavy baritone caressed him even though he didn't want it to. Jacobs's voice had always had the inexplicable power to lull him into a calm....or less fearful state of mind. Even when the Lion was the on who Brandon needed to fear the most. Jacob steeped closer until he was inches from Brandon's face. "This must b
Tales Of A Shifter (B3) - Secret Threat Chapter 17 - Overwhelmed
Chapter 17To give himself to the beast was easy and hard all at once. The creature was motivated by blood and violence and the hunt. Not by logic and emotions....but as Ezekiel slid into the back seat of his own mind and body...one thing unified him and his beasts will like nothing before....and it was the urge to see Brandon protected from harm.Instinctively knowing to keep Brandon at its back, but also in its peripheral sight the leopard stalked forwards.The leopard instantly pinpointed his attacker, and leapt through the air. Putting all of his might into his voice, willing it to pour into the earth itself. He declared his challenge, even as his claws racked deeply across the face of the male lion that had attacked him.The Leopard locked in. It sunk its jaws deep into the lions face and nose. Wet and sharp. The sounds the two made seemed unholy as they rolled around. The Lion that the Leopards nails and jaws bit into was not large. He was a slim lion and tall, but his mane bare
Tales Of A Shifter (B3) - Secret Threat Chapter 16 - Shift
Chapter 16Ezekiel pumped all of his energy into his lungs and legs. Even so, he had barely made it a few yards before the sounds of pursuit were gaining on his heels. Ezekiel had knew that he could never have out run the lions on foot but he hadn't really planned to.He just had to stay ahead of them until he made it to the central compound. Holding Brandon close to his chest Ezekiel ran until his arms ached and his legs were burning and the sounds of large padded feet faded slightly and still he carried on. Spongy pine needles blanketed his footsteps, while shafts of sunlight fought to pierce the canopy of pine needles above. The silent trees bounced back his furious breaths as he traveled at the speed of a leopard.But Ezekiel had only made it three fourths to the central compound, almost 4 miles of nonstop running in mortal form before it happened. He hadn't heard the lion stalking closer until it was too late. A scuffle of pine was all he registered then something large and sharp
Tales Of A Shifter (B3) - Secret Threat Chapter 15 - Lions
Chapter 15One of us is going down.-Headstrong (Trapt)Ezekiel turned to behold the intruders. They were closing in on his location fast. Following his scent easily which told him that they were hunters. There were only three of them. They moved along the expanse of the field jogging toward him with an easy fluidity that spoke volumes. Their bodies though in motion seemed slow and relaxed, but their eyes and the grace with which they moved, slow or not told him that he was dealing with three very strong, very balanced Shifter males.Ezekiel could see the three males scenting the air and that told him one thing. The three shifters were well aware his presence and that he was alone. He knew that by now the intruders were well aware that he was also a shifter but they continued to close the distance to him. Which made him think that they were either looking for a fight or a lone target. Ezekiel also knew that he only had seconds until they were close enough to attack him and he was cont
