“How is it going?” she asked.

I hated that I didn’t have good news for her.

She must have been able to see my disappointment on my face, because her own face fell for a half-second, before she recovered, hiding her pain behind a kind smile. She reached out and placed a comforting hand on my arm, as a mother would do.

“Let me help,” she said. “You might not remember me telling you, but I was a healer once.” Her smile warmed. ” You take after me in so many ways.”

It pleased me for her to think so, but… “I feel like I’m missing something here. I wouldn’t mind another pair of eyes.”

Lillian nodded and we both looked back at the computer screen as I continued to search.

Almost right away, Lillian looked to me again. “Amelia. You are thinking like a human here.”

“That’s how I’ve been trained.”

“I understand, but… Forget the research for a moment, what does your gut tell you about this situation?”

“My… gut?”

“Yes,” she said. “In werewolf medicine, research is important but so too is the natural instincts of our wolf. There is no hard science to witchcraft, and as we are not witches, we can’t hope to understand. But our wolves know each other and themselves. If we listen to them, and trust them, they might help us find the answer.”

“My wolf is dormant,” I reminded her.

“Yes, but not lost. Trust it. Trust yourself. Trust your instincts.”

I didn’t really know where to begin with what she was saying, especially because I couldn’t hear by wolf, but…

Wait.

What if it wasn’t my wolf I needed help from in this moment?

“The cursed knife is holding Jake in a form of stasis, right?” I asked.

“Yes,” Lillian said. “With a non-Alpha, the curse would have been enough to kill, but Jake is an Alpha. His wolf is strong and fighting back. Right now, they seem evenly matched.”

That was it. “What if we found a way to boost his wolf’s strength? The curse is the unknown here, but we must know how to amplify wolf strength, right? I’ve seen it… I know we can…” My head started to hurt so I brought my hand up to rub at my temple. “But I don’t know how.”

“I do,” Mom replied. She seemed stronger now herself, more determined. “But I’ll need your help.”

“Forgive my doubt,” said one of Jake’s other healers, after we had returned to Jake’s room and Mom explained the plan to him. “But your wolf is not as powerful as it once was, Lillian. And Amelia may be a current Luna, but her wolf is repressed. How do you expect this method to succeed?”

“Sheer force of will,” Mom sald with confidence.

I wasn’t as certain that this would work, but I wanted to help Jake badly enough that I was willing to try. And even if my mind had doubts, my heart felt like I could trust Mom. Not just that, my gut was telling me this was the right path to try.

“Place your hand on his chest near the wound,” Mom sald, “When I say begin, you must think of your love for your brother and how much you want to save him. With luck, his wolf will hear ours and pull strength from us. It will feel strange, but whatever you do, don’t fight it when it happens.”

I placed my hand as she directed and closed my eyes. I thought of Jake, how I wanted him to live,

At once, I felt a type of internal pull, like something was draining my energy.
