Cyborgs don’t have families like you and I might think of them. They were created in vats, didn’t know their genetic donors. Yet they have created family-like units that rival any you and I have experienced.
At first, these units consisted of warriors in their batches, the cyborgs they trained with. These males (females are rare) were all the same model type so cyborgs always have a strong affiliation with brethren with their same model type. (This is why warriors on the Cyborg Council primarily represent their model types.)
When the cyborgs started fighting for the Humanoid Alliance, their families expanded to include other model types they fought alongside. Shared experiences, especially trauma, tightened their bonds.
Malice, the C Model hero of Containing Malice, has been trapped in an underground Humanoid Alliance lab for solar cycles. His sole companion is Valor, an E Model. Their bond is EXTREMELY tight. Malice would kill, would die for Valor. And Valor would do the same for Malice.
The Humanoid Alliance know this and has been using their connection to control them.
The baddies didn’t factor into their equation one determined female medic, however.

Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
