The horror of being trapped inside a body he could no longer control was a fate worse than death.
If...
If Serena Lancaster could actually turn him back into a human...
Did that mean he could still live?
Serena watched the desperate survival instinct ignite in his eyes, her red lips curving slightly higher.
The fish took the bait.
She spoke lazily. "Have you ever heard of a state's witness?"
"Tell me everything you know."
"And I'll let you live."
She paused, her eyes narrowing as her smile dropped into something far more sinister. "Otherwise..."
With a slight flick of her fingers, Serena drove two more needles directly into the lethal pressure points on his chest.
Mordecai's body instantly locked up.
"Ah!"
He let out a bloodcurdling, agonizing scream.
He curled into a tight ball on the floor, his entire body convulsing violently.
The residual serum in his veins was forcefully redirected by the needles, rushing through his system like a runaway freight train. It felt as though thousands of blades were simultaneously shredding his internal organs to pieces.
Once he mutated, he was supposed to be completely immune to pain.
And yet.
Because of Serena's precise strikes.
He felt like his entire body was on the verge of exploding.
His blood felt like it was boiling, slamming against his veins so hard it threatened to rip through his skin.
His veins bulged, nearly bursting through the flesh.
The excruciating, mind-shattering agony instantly obliterated his final psychological defenses.
