Chapter 170

There was loud chatter outside our car as we pulled up to the sidewalk. Lycans and Werewolves would be attending the rite ceremony—not all, though, just those who were specially invited.
"Are you nervous?" Tristan asked as we stepped out of the car.
"Very," I replied, trying as much as possible to mask the feeling. "Why wouldn't I be nervous? The Elders will be preparing you for the duel, which will happen soon."
Tristan rubbed my shoulders, trying to calm me as we walked inside the hall. It was crowded with a lot of people, but I wasn't as concerned about the number of people. I was more concerned about the kind of people present at the ceremony tonight. There were Vampires—most of them men, with a few women among them.
