CHAPTER 11

A LITTLE MAGIC

Good question, Eleanor.

To be fair, I keep forgetting I that I’m technically part witch because Jolie was or that I might even have magic deep down inside of me.

I did know that. I mean, the head witch of the local coven is her blood-related grandmother. Just because she didn’t seem to have any powers herself, that doesn’t change the fact that she’s half-witch, half-shifter.

I can turn into a wolf now. Can’t get around that one. But if Lucas’s bite triggered my hidden shifter side… did it do the same for Jolie’s witch blood?

It never occurred to me before. Most likely because I didn’t do the greatest job dealing with the reveal that I’m not human like I thought, but actually a wolf shifter. It was just easier to ignore any tie to the coven I might have. Maybe if the witches had made me feel welcome instead of a freaking sacrifice, Marie could have helped me tap into that part of my soul.

She didn’t. She sought me out, tracked me down, stole my blood, and did all of that to break a curse that never would’ve been laid over Winter Creek if Jolie had survived. But because she didn’t… because Lucas was willing to do anything to bring his mate back… all of the pressure is on my shoulders now.

It’s not quite done yet. Why? No idea, and if the two weeks as a feral, broken Fallon trapped inside of her wolf taught me anything, it’s a tiny bit more patience. I’m sure I’m still reckless and impulsive as I ever was given the right opportunities, but I’ve learned my lesson. I’m not going to willingly approach the witches just because they might have the answers that the wolves don’t.

For one, who knows if Marie would even tell me the truth? For another, Remy zapping me in the back with magic after he injured Tristan with the silver knife definitely makes him my enemy.

Lucas told me all about Jolie. And, yeah, if he’d done that in the beginning, I wouldn’t have taken off when Jade slipped the envelope with Jolie’s pictures in it under my door. Same thing with his beastly side. I know why he tried to keep me in the dark as long as he did, but now that we’re mated, he’s an open book.

And though he never expected me to be able to shift—since Jolie hadn’t—he’s pleased that I can. It’s a weird shifter thing, but me marking him as hard as I did when I, um, chomped on his throat actually impressed him. Kind of like, the harder the bite, the more devoted I am to him. He survived it, and once I got over some of the guilt I felt for losing control, he’s proud to show off his scars.

Because I’m pack. Because I’m his mate.

Because I am a wolf of Winter Creek.

But that’s the thing… I like being a wolf, for the most part. Trying to work magic—admitting that I’m tied to our enemies—seems like a betrayal to me.
