VESPER
One moment Vesper’s standing barefoot on the Ark’s deck in a loose black sweater, half-lidded eyes tracing the horizon; the next, he’s pulled through a channel that tears light apart. He lands hard on humid earth, the scent of salt and rot crashing into him as Colt’s voice cuts through the haze with a plea that shudders with fear, fierce and raw.
His body reacts before his mind does. Shadows unfurl from his back like a living storm, three inky tendrils cracking through the trees with whipcrack precision. They hit the mudtiger mid-lunge—one piercing its flank, another coiling its throat—and the creature’s roar dissolves into a wet, choking rattle. The impact sends sprays of dirt and iridescent scales raining through the air, the jungle recoiling as if in pain. The third lashes out for the molten tiger with blood on its lips, and that’s when his gaze catches on her, molten and seething, glowing like a forge come to life. Recognition crashes into him as he feels the barest sense of the woman beneath the fur and claws.
"Colt, that isn’t—"
The words barely leave his mouth before the pull of the channel snaps tight again, yanking him backward through the same seam that brought him here.
