Chapter 108 – The Trial Of Blood

• Night has fallen. A cold breeze slips between the trees, making the dead leaves tremble beneath my bare feet. The stone circle in the center of the clearing is lit by the pale glow of the full moon, casting ghostly shadows on the ground.
• I stand there, alone, my heart pounding in my chest. Damon is a few meters away, his face closed, fists clenched at his sides. His golden gaze glows with a dangerous light as he watches the combat circle.
