The safe house buzzed with supernatural energy. In the massive training room, Samantha faced off against Maya and Lucas, testing her enhanced power-borrowing abilities. She'd gotten better at controlling multiple powers at once—right now, she wielded Maya's leopard agility while maintaining Lucas's unique ability to bend shadows.
"Good," Maya called out as Samantha successfully dodged a series of rapid attacks. "But can you handle this?" The female shifter's form blurred, splitting into multiple images—her signature move.
Samantha smiled, already borrowing the same power. Her own form multiplied, matching Maya's trick perfectly. But she added something extra—each copy of her wielded Marcus's hybrid strength.
