Chapter 666

“Don't be afraid. I bear you no ill will." The man's magnetic voice filled the room. Before Rayna could regain her senses, a cold touch on her wrist spread all over her body.

She tried to retract her hand in horror, but he tightened his grip.

The man smirked at Rayna's pale pallor before drawling. “I was just kidding!"
