章 648: Under Their Leash

The air was electric with tension as Anna closed in on Derek, her hand crackling with dark yellow lightning. 

At this moment, she couldn't think of anything else but drawing out his blood until his soul screamed.

The energy danced wildly around her fingers, as if eager to strike. Derek's eyes locked onto hers, his gaze harsh, though his body seemed frozen in time just like the others.

But just as Anna was about to make contact, her body jerked violently, the lightning dying down as suddenly as it had appeared. 

Her legs went limp, her eyes returning to their original dark gray color. 

A grimace twisted her face as Derek's hand suddenly gripped her neck, his grip like a vice.

"Urgh!" Anna gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with frustration.
