Chương 113: Stronger, Faster, Better

This Isabel was ruthless, unforgiving, and lethal. I could see why she was one of

Kameron's top warriors.

"Damien won't hesitate to mark you. You need to be more alert," she readied her stance, "'now get up and defend yourself."

Kameron had asked Isabel to take a stricter approach to my training. He wanted me to toughen up because the people we were about to fight would not play fair.
