Mikolas took a deep breath. She wouldn’t like his plan, but after the attack on Callie today, it seemed even more impossible to wait for the gods to settle their differences.

“As you know,” he started, “Zeus told me he would handle his father, which leaves Iapetus to us. Mason explained how he killed Philyra by shifting into his wolf and how her magic didn’t affect him. But then she threatened Clio, and his Herculean strength kicked in.”

Trinity nodded slowly. “Yeah, he’s massive as a wolf. Add in the superhuman strength and his jaws snapped her head right off her shoulders.”

He nodded. “For now, Iapetus hasn’t figured out Mason’s power, or that he’s a Lycan. If we can lure the Titan away from Kronos, we could lead him right to Mason’s wolf.”

Trinity straightened, shaking her head. “You’re missing a really important piece of the puzzle. Just being a wolf won’t be enough. He needs to be crazy strong when he attacks and that only happens if Clio’s in danger.”

“Or if I’m close enough to magnify his power.”

Trinity raised a brow. “Okay…that could work.” Her gaze locked on his. “But that means your demigod powers have to kick in, which makes me the bait.”

“Maybe not, though,” he said. “My gift worked with Cooper today and the only one in danger was Callie.”

Trinity nodded slowly. “True…but I was with you.”

He thought back to the gala. He’d been alone when he had tried to wake Ted from Kronos’s magic and nothing had happened.

“Shit.” His heart sank. “This isn’t going to work. It’s too risky.”

She placed her hand on his thigh and gave it a squeeze. “So when it was just you and Mason in harm’s way, this plan was a possibility, but if I’m nearby it’s too risky?”

He covered her hand with his. “I’m not dangling you in front of the God of Mortality.” Just thinking about it churned a pit of dread in his stomach.

She stared out the picture window into the darkness, her gaze distant. “But you could be on to something.” He started to respond, but she glanced his way with a raised finger. “Just hear me out on this. What if I’m with a couple of my muse sisters and their Guardians. Then if Iapetus came after me, all of us would be in danger. That means all the Guardians powers would be activated at once.”

It could work, but if it didn’t, it would be catastrophic. But if they didn’t stop the Titans, humanity was doomed anyway. His heart wrenched. It was an impossible choice. He shook his head, trying to refocus on the logistics. “Who are you thinking should be with you?”

“Clio, for sure, so Mason can be superstrong while he’s a wolf. Hunter would be handy to hear the Piercer’s thoughts before he makes his move, but I don’t think we’ll be able to get Callie on board for this plan.”

“What about Nate, Gavin, and Cooper?” He had purposefully left Reed out of the equation. The firefighter would be more likely to attack Mikolas than the Titan.
