None of them looked happy, so I decided to change the subject. I turned to Luke and said, “What do you know about a dormant? All I know is what Cece told me, and she said my family line is diluted due to shifters mating with humans, so my shifter side is almost non-existent. She said it takes a life-threatening or extreme life event for your animal to come forth. If it never happens, we just remain human. It took me almost dying for Cece to wake up.” That earned a growl from all of them. I continued without stopping, “Is there more to it? Will I be able to shift? If so, when can I shift? Cece won’t tell me what we are, she just keeps using shifters as an example to explain things, but she told me we’re not a wolf,” I asked breathlessly. They chuckled, even the corner of Zane’s mouth twit
