Chapter 16: The Library Secret
Caleb Silver POV
"Move!" I shoved Lily behind a bookshelf just as the old tome exploded in a burst of silver light.
The book I’d been reading about Triple Moon bearers was now floating in mid-air, its pages flipping wildly on their own. Words glowed and shifted across the yellowed paper like they were alive.
"What’s happening?" Lily gasped, pressed against my back.
"I don’t know!" The book had been absolutely normal two seconds ago. Now it was acting like it contained some kind of magic.
The flying book suddenly slammed shut and dropped to the floor with a heavy thud. The library fell silent except for our heavy breaths.
"Is it over?" Lily whispered.
I stepped out carefully, keeping her behind me. The book lay idly on the reading table where I’d left it, looking completely ordinary again.
"That was definitely not normal," I said.
This was supposed to be a quiet research time. After yesterday’s disaster with the bone-faced wolves at the cave, I’d got Lily to help me look through the pack’s oldest records. We needed to understand what the Triple Moon mark really meant before the final mating ceremony tomorrow night.
But the old books weren’t cooperating.
