CALEB POV
I threw myself through the tear in reality just as it started to close.
The dimensional hunters had been attacking our pack for hours, using our ties to Lily to slowly kill us all. But when Aiden tried to break those ties with Elder Henrik's ritual, something unexpected happened instead.
I could still feel her.
Not the original mate tie - that was gone, severed by Aiden's sacrifice. But something else had taken its place. A new link that felt different, stronger somehow. Like an echo that had become its own song.
Now I was falling through swirling colors and impossible shapes, chasing that echo toward wherever Lily had gone. I had no idea what I was doing or how I'd live in other dimensions, but I couldn't let her face this alone.
I crashed into solid ground so hard it knocked the breath from my lungs. When I managed to sit up, I found myself in a world that looked like someone had painted the sky purple and filled it with floating islands.
