LILY POV
I slammed into the ground outside Silver Peak's main hall with enough force to crack the stone steps.
Pain shot through my shoulder as I rolled, but I was too relieved to care. Solid ground. Familiar smells. The sound of pack wolves going about their daily work. After what felt like forever jumping between worlds, I was finally home.
"Lily?" Caleb's words came from somewhere behind me, sounding just as shocked as I felt.
I turned to see him picking himself up from a pile of snow, dimensional energy still sparking around his hands like tiny lightning bolts. The Architect had torn us apart and thrown us across worlds, but somehow we'd ended up in the same place.
"How are we here?" I asked, trying to stand. "The Architect broke our bond. It separated us."
Caleb looked at his hands in wonder. "I can still feel the physical energy. It didn't go away when our link broke."
