Triple Temptation
POV: Rhea Mooncrest
"Ash! Stop! This isn't the mission! You told me the mission was to save the world, not burn it!"
Rhea’s voice was raw, a jagged sound that tore through the freezing, violet-tinted mist of the Wastes. She was huddled in the sapphire rubble, her fingers digging into the permafrost until her nails bled. Above her, suspended in the center of the swirling rift, was the creature that had once been the Alpha of the Silverfangs. Ash Ryder was no longer a man; he was a monument of obsidian and ultraviolet light. His grey furs had been replaced by a jagged armor of shadow-matter, and his eyes—those beautiful, haunted grey eyes—were now twin suns of predatory violet radiation.
