Suddenly i became a goddess!
I felt her fingers—invisible but tangible—sliding through my mind, uncoiling my thoughts, poisoning them.
> Let me in.
Her voice whispered through my head, sultry, seductive, but dripping with venom.
I clenched my jaw, my body convulsing as I fought back, trying to push her out.
She laughed, a soft, delighted sound that sent a sharp spike of rage through me.
> Why do you resist, Veryon?
My muscles locked up. I couldn't move.
I couldn't breathe.
She was everywhere—crawling under my skin, her presence a suffocating heat that I couldn't escape.
