Chapter 7

Dylan decided to put his free time to good use. He followed Cory around campus without drawing too much attention to himself. Watching him clandestinely revealed a lot of little telling clues that the casual observer would never see. Like the fact that Cory avoided the hallway and classroom where his mother taught. Cory avoided that area like the plague. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to be caught talking to his mother. It was more like Cory hated her fucking guts and couldn’t stand to be anywhere near her.

Dylan’s heart sank. God, his mother must know of the abuse. She either didn’t care or maybe she convinced herself it wasn’t that bad. On a whim, Dylan walked past her classroom. When he stared hard at Mrs. Wright, he felt nothing unusual. He saw nothing strange. Mrs. Wright seemed to be a normal forty-something woman. Dylan frowned. Maybe she didn’t know, and yet Cory resented her for not knowing. Shaking off the distraction, as it frankly didn’t matter, Dylan caught back up with Cory in the dorm.

Cory roomed with Derek. It was a good fit in that Derek was never really around since he used to be out partying all the time. Well, he was until he hooked up with Brandon. Now Derek was always over at Brandon’s dorm room or hooking up with Brandon all around the campus. Dylan had heard more than one report about their lusty escapades. Which reminded him, hooking up with Preston was going to be a major bitch when they lived over two hundred miles apart.

Focus, buddy, Dylan told himself. As determined as he was to sort everything out with his mate, Dylan was also bound and determined to sort everything out with his sloth and this new, weird wrinkle with Cory.

Oddly, Dylan didn’t feel Cory was destined to be one of his brothers. What he felt was a certainty that if he didn’t step in, Cory would never return to campus after the new year. It was that simple and that complicated. If Dylan didn’t do something, Cory would die either at the hands of his stepfather, or by his own hand. Either way, Dylan wasn’t going to let that happen. His goal over the last few months had focused on building his sloth and hoping for the day when he found his own mate. Now that he had, Dylan discovered this new and utterly different legacy. But he could no more say no to this calling than he could the other. Dylan could walk away, and no one around him would be any the wiser. But Dylan would know. The fact that he knew and did nothing to help Cory would eat away at his conscience like a cancer. He had to act.

“Cory, my man!” Dylan strode up to Cory like they were longtime pals with a vast history. Cory greeted everyone in that fashion, so Dylan figured he’d respond positively to that type of greeting.

“Dylan! What’s the hap?”

Dylan had no idea what that meant, but he smiled anyway.
