Triple Temptation CHAPTER 142
POV: Rhea Mooncrest"No! I won't let you have her! Take me instead, you coward! Take the Alpha and leave her alone!"Ash’s roar was a raw, human sound that defied the celestial thrum of the Star-Eater descending from the red sky. He was standing in front of Rhea on the crumbling balcony, his silver sword leveled at the screaming void. The golden dome above them groaned under the weight of the ancient god’s touch, the translucent metal warping as the Shadow King’s face pressed through the barrier from the inside."The Alpha is a hollow shell," the King’s voice vibrated in Rhea’s very marrow. "Only the Mooncrest has the resonance to mend the Seal. Give me your soul, Rhea Mooncrest, and I will pull the horizon back together. I will save him. I will save them all."Rhea looked past Ash’s broad shoulders, watching the way his hands shook as he held the blade. He was willing to die for a world that had already stripped him of his power. He was willing to face a galaxy-eater with a piece of
Triple Temptation CHAPTER 141
POV: Rhea Mooncrest"Do you see them, Ash? They aren't waiting for a command anymore. They’re waiting for a heartbeat."Rhea stood on the jagged, salt-stained balcony of the Blackwood Estate, her fingers curling around the cold iron railing. The wind whipped her hair across her face, smelling of ozone and the ancient, damp earth of the Under-Whisper. Below her, the courtyard was no longer filled with the disciplined ranks of the Silverfang Pack. Instead, it was a sea of shifting, restless forms—wolves that stood on two legs with the grace of humans, and humans whose eyes glowed with the predatory violet of the void."I see them, Rhea," Ash replied, his voice a low, gravelly rasp right behind her ear. "But they don't look like a pack. They look like a storm waiting to break.""They are the hybrid race, Ash. The bridge between the Archive and the earth," Rhea whispered, her amber eyes tracking a young girl in the courtyard who was absentmindedly sharpening her fingernails into obsidian
Triple Temptation CHAPTER 140
POV: Ash Ryder"Is that a growl? Rhea, tell me you heard that. Please tell me I’m not losing my mind."Ash’s voice was a jagged rasp, barely audible over the whistling wind of the High Pass. He was leaning against a crystalline outcrop, his human fingers numb and blue-tinged, clutching the hilt of his iron sword like a lifeline. His body felt like a foreign country—heavy, slow, and prone to the biting chill of the mountain. But then he heard it again. A low, vibrating thrum that didn't come from the earth, but from the throat of something alive."I hear it, Ash," Rhea whispered, her eyes wide as she scanned the treeline. "But it’s wrong. It doesn’t sound like the pack. It doesn’t sound like home."Suddenly, the shadows at the edge of the clearing erupted. A massive, grey-furred shape slammed into a fallen obsidian log, snapping it like a dry twig. It was a wolf—or it had been once. Now, it was a mountain of matted fur and raw, pulsating muscle, its eyes glowing with a feral, neon-viol
Triple Temptation CHAPTER 139
POV: Ash Ryder"Step back, Rhea. I mean it. Get behind me and stay there."Ash’s voice didn't have the tectonic rumble of the Alpha anymore. It was thin, frayed by the biting wind that swept through the cave’s mouth, but it carried a desperate, human grit. He adjusted his grip on the hunk of rusted iron he’d salvaged from the subterranean ruins—a crude, heavy blade that felt like a ton of dead weight in his un-augmented grip. His knuckles were raw, his palms slick with a cold sweat that had nothing to do with the freezing mountain air and everything to do with the fact that his heart was now a fragile, beating target."Ash, you're shaking," Rhea whispered, her voice trembling with a mixture of awe and terror. "You can't do this. They have silver-tipped rounds, and you... you don't even have your pelt. You’re just a man.""I’m enough of a man to know when my woman is being hunted," Ash snapped, his grey eyes fixed on the line of flickering tactical lights advancing up the slope. "I spe
Triple Temptation CHAPTER 138
POV: Rhea Mooncrest"Get behind me, Ash! I mean it—if you take one more step toward that ledge, I’ll bind you myself!"Rhea’s voice was a whip-crack of desperation, echoing through the cavernous mouth of the mountain. She stood at the threshold where the dying Under-Whisper met the frozen reality of the surface. Behind her, the man who had once been the most feared Alpha in the Wastes looked small, his broad shoulders hunched against a cold he could no longer ignore with the heat of his wolf. Ash Ryder was shivering, his knuckles white as he gripped a jagged piece of obsidian just to feel the weight of a weapon."Rhea, you can’t take them all on," Ash rasped, his breath hitching in a way that made her heart bleed. "There are dozens of them. I can hear the engines now. Real engines. They aren't hiding anymore.""I don't care if there are hundreds!" Rhea roared, her amber eyes flaring with a brilliance that outshone the dying violet eclipse in the sky. "You spent your whole life protect
Triple Temptation CHAPTER 137
POV: Rhea Mooncrest"Ash! Wake up! Please, just open your eyes and tell me you’re still there!"Rhea’s voice cracked, the sound lost in the vast, hollow emptiness of the Under-Whisper. She was kneeling in the dirt, her hands clutching Ash’s shoulders as she shook him. The golden-and-silver light that had nearly blinded her moments ago was gone, replaced by a dull, oppressive grey. The subterranean forest was no longer a place of magical wonder or terrifying shadow; it was just a cave filled with rotting wood and cold stones."Rhea... stop shaking me. Everything already feels like it's spinning," Ash groaned, his voice weak and startlingly thin.He slowly pushed himself up, his movements sluggish and uncoordinated. When he looked at Rhea, his eyes were the same stormy grey she had always loved, but the golden flecks—the mark of the Solar Alpha—had vanished. He didn't smell like pine or woodsmoke or the wild. He smelled like sweat and old blood. He smelled human."You’re okay," Rhea sob
