I won't let any man touch me the way Torrin does!
As they lecherously begin taking off their clothes, I shut my eyes and pour everything I have into calming my heart and emptying my mind, refusing to let panic take control.
I try to remember every detail in the books about controlling my ShadowBind.
Weakly yet steadily, power stirs through me, rising like a dark tide.
Then,...
I snap my eyes open and yell, "Don't you dare touch me!"
The three Gammas freeze with their hands only inches away from me, their eyes widening in terror.
"P-please… don't k-kill us," one stammers, quickly understanding what's going on.
"Free me," I command.
They scramble to obey, unfastening the restraints as quickly as they can.
The moment I'm released, I give my next order. "Now, kill each other."
