Chapter 108

  I'm stirring my milkshake while walking in the park together with Finn after sunset. The future concerns me, and I sigh.

  "No offense, but how am I supposed to beat Lily? Last time I checked, I don't possess any offensive abilities."

  Finn glances down at me, smiling. "Because only the light can defeat the darkness. It doesn't matter what you throw at the shadow creepers—sticks and stones, fire, water, earth, or even lightning can't beat them."

  'Finn is right,' Lumi says. 'You're the only person who can put an end to your sister's dictatorship. She wasn't made for the role of alpha. No matter what, we have to defeat her.'

  I grimace. "I don't even remember how to shape-shift."

  Finn laughs, tapping my shoulder. "That's why we are here in the park at night. You can transform here, and..." he shrugs. "Pretend to be my oversized dog if someone sees you."

  My lips twitch. "You haven't seen my wolf's form when you're a human—are you sure you can handle it?"
