Kira's POV
"We're all going to die in five minutes, and you want to talk about our relationship?" I thought Zander was crazy as I looked at him.
He grabbed my hand quickly and said, "I want to try something." "The mate bond - what if we could use it as a weapon?"
Even though the windows were broken, the Collector ships could be seen getting closer. The walls were shaking from their silver light.
"Zander, this isn't the time—"
He spoke up and said, "It's exactly the time!" "Give it some thought, Kira. Our bond stayed strong after we broke free from cosmic rule. It survived the fake reality where I loved someone else. What if it's stronger than we thought?"
Jake stumbled toward us, his starry eyes flickering between human and cosmic. "He might be right. The story-voices in my head are saying something about true ties being able to anchor reality."
"But our bond is broken," I pointed out. "Remember? You cut it when you were fighting the Hunger."
