MATED TO MY BULLIES
Despite his broken body, despite the pain, he sent everything he had left into me.
Use it, he sent. Take my strength. End this.
The bond opened wide. His power flooded into me, mixing with the failing serum. I felt his determination, his courage, his absolute certainty that I could win.
I stood. The pain in my legs faded. Nathan's silver eyes tracked the movement, recalculating.
"Interesting development," he said. "The bond allows power transfer. New data."
I moved faster than I ever had before. Alexei's strength combined with my enhancement created something beyond either of us alone. I reached Nathan before he could inject the poison.
