“No,” Luciana said. “She needs to let go of her wolf and take her place in the coven.”
“I can’t do that.” Taking my wolf away was not an option, and Luciana was crazy for thinking it was. “It’d be like cutting off one of my legs just for the hell of it. I’m not doing it. I’m a wolf and a witch—equal halves of both. You don’t have the right or the power to separate me from my wolf.”
“If you were so powerful, you’d be able to break the cage Meredith’s wolf is in,” Luciana said. “But you can’t even see it to break it. You can’t even find it. That’s not power.”
Break the cage? See it?
Break the cage. I could find it?
That was it. Holy shit. Luciana gave me what I needed.
I was a combination of wolf and witch. I combined alpha powers with witchcraft. I hadn’t learned much about either, but I knew that my alpha powers gave me control. And control was what I needed to guide my witchcraft.
Donovan hadn’t been talking about merging types of witchcraft. He’d been talking about me specifically mixing my witchcraft with my alpha energy. Just like I’d done to contact him.
Oh my God.
Shannon and Chris had been right all along. I could break the curse. I’d just been thinking about it the wrong way. I’d been looking at it from either an alpha way—by getting an alpha strong enough to calm her wolf—or a witchcraft way—by using spells and potions to get her wolf to settle down.
In the middle of this fight with Luciana, I was instantly calm.
A smile spread across my face. Meredith’s wolf was locked up. Chained inside her. All I had to do was find the cage with my witchcraft, and help her break it and call her wolf forward by using alpha powers. And if I didn’t have enough alpha energy, I could pull it from the pack.
It all made sense now. I just hadn’t seen it before.
I’d been running from the wolf stuff since I became a wolf and it was high time I embraced it along with my bruja side.
Luciana was still rambling on, but nothing she said mattered anymore. I wasn’t listening.
“Goodbye, Luciana.” She stopped talking to stare at me. “Turns out, I don’t need your help. And you’ve just made an enemy for life.” I turned my back, trusting Daniel and Dastien to keep watch. “Let’s go.”
I grabbed the keys from Dastien and hopped in the car. I floored it through the gate. The burn on the way out barely registered.
“You’ve got a plan.”
I nodded. “Yes. Call the school. I need every wolf in the area in the courtyard by the time we get there. Everyone you can find. All the Cazadores. Everyone.”
“On it.” He pulled his cell phone from his pocket, and started making calls.
This could work. Holy shit. This could be it.
Chapter Fourteen
Dastien’s phone worked overtime for nearly the whole car ride. We knew our time was limited. He checked in with Dr. Gonzales and she said Meredith was still alive, but had only an hour or two left.
I sped down the road, not caring about getting a ticket. There was no slowing down.
When Dastien was done with his calls, we were minutes away from campus.
“What’s the plan?”
I tapped my fingers along the steering wheel. “I’m going to need your help. I don’t really know what I’m doing, but I have a theory.”
He turned to face me. “Tell me.”
I glanced at him for a second before turning back to the road. “You can make me change if you wanted to.”
“Yes. I could.”
