Chapter 146: The Witch’s Study
SAGE POV
The crystal ball burst in my hands.
Glass cut deep into my hands as purple smoke filled my study. I stumbled backward, knocking over bottles of flowers and spell ingredients. The vision I’d been trying to see disappeared like smoke.
"What the hell?" I mumbled, picking glass from my bleeding fingers.
I’d been watching Lily through my crystal ball for three days straight. Ever since she sacrificed herself to save her pack from the Devourer, something incredible had happened to her. She wasn’t just a werewolf anymore. She wasn’t just a dimensional anchor. She’d become something entirely new.
And that scared me more than any monster I’d ever faced.
My study door burst open. Marcus, the Silver Peak Alpha, stood there looking worried.
"Sage, we need you downstairs," he said. "Something’s wrong with Lily."
I grabbed my medicine bag and followed him. We ran through the pack house, past worried wolves who whispered as we passed. They all knew something big was happening, but they didn’t understand what.
Neither did I, and that scared me.
We reached the basement where they’d been keeping Lily since her change. The door was shining again, but this time it wasn’t the dark energy of the Devourer. This light was bright and warm, like moonlight.
"She’s been like this for an hour," Caleb said. His voice shook with worry. "The light keeps getting brighter."
