Four or Dead

Chapter 185

Stefan falls silent as he is about to tell me what happened to him in the catacombs. The blood drains from his face, and his hands are trembling, making me curious about what lies beneath the Blood Lodge and what happened during those three days he was there. But from how he looks at me, I know that is all he is willing to share with me. And yet...
