The coffee mug broke against the wall, hot liquid spraying everywhere. I ducked as another one flew past my head.
"This is insane!" Beta Morrison yelled from across the pack meeting room. "She's not even human anymore!"
I stood up slowly, trying to keep my voice calm. "Lily saved all of us. She deserves our respect."

Around the table, other pack leaders shifted uncomfortably. I could see the fear in their eyes. Three days had passed since Lily became a dimensional anchor, and nobody knew how to handle it.
"She's still Lily," I said, though even I wasn't sure anymore.
"Is she?" Morrison leaned forward. "Have you tried talking to her? Really talking to her? It's like she's only half here."
