POV: Ash
Ember's claws crashed through the window, missing Cade's face by inches.
I grabbed my cousin and pulled him sideways just as possessed-Ember landed where he had been standing. Glass scattered everywhere, cutting my arms, but I didn't care. The woman I loved was trying to kill us.
"She's fast," Cade gasped.
"Too fast." I watched Ember's body move in ways that weren't natural. Malphas was using her like a weapon, making her stronger and more dangerous than any normal wolf.
"We can't fight her," Cade said. "If we hurt her body, we hurt Ember."
"Then we don't fight. We run."
But there was nowhere to go. Possessed-Ember blocked the only way out of the small clearing. Behind us were thick trees and steep cliffs. We were trapped.
"Running will not save you," Malphas said through Ember's mouth. "This body is faster than both of you combined."
