"I thought the first two slip-ups were forgiven before being punished, Master Hades. I can also make up for the lack of greetings now. Allow me to make amends— Good morning, Master Hades. And while we're at it, good evening too," Mallory's smile faltered when she noticed him continue to smile.

Hadeon Van Doren I. He was literally the first pureblooded vampire or vampire made.

"I've always had a taste for the untamed," Hadeon remarked with a sly smile. "If you ask me, we're getting along perfectly well."

Lady Rose shook her head at the thought that Hadeon had only woken up and was craving drama with violence. She murmured, "Leave me out of it."

"God," deadpanned the man. "Now kneel down and pray."

But as Mallory reached for the glass of blood, Hadeon swiftly seized her wrist, pulling her onto the bed. Her eyes widened in alarm as she found herself at the mercy of the vampire, his golden gaze gleaming with mischief, who hovered above her.

"Talk about being creepy first thing in the morning. I know you're my number one admirer, but this is a bit over the top, even for you," Hadeon's tone dripped with dry amusement. His gaze bore into Mallory's, and for a moment, she felt like a bug under a magnifying glass.

Looking at George's fallen face made things bearable, and Mallory remarked with a smile, "A count's son to a window cleaning boy. How the arrogant has fallen."

"Naughty, monkey," Hadeon responded, the corners of his lips twitching upwards in mirth. "Are you inviting me into your coffin? How sly, not to mention even scandalous!"

Hadeon clutched his chest in mock horror, his eyes darting to Mallory. "Oh, no! He's onto us," he gasped dramatically. "What are we going to do?"

Hadeon's lips twisted into a sinister smile, "Then, it seems we must pay a visit to dear little Georgie."

Was this an opportunity for her to escape? Did God make Hadeon thirsty so that she could get the time to run? Say no more, God! Mallory Winchester doesn't need another sign! She said it in her mind.

When Mallory's mouth was full and busy, Hadeon stood up from his seat and instructed her, "Continue eating, monkey. I will be back after inquiring about my main course."

"Aw, how touching," Hadeon commented dramtically. "My very own servant, moved to tears by my tragic story."
Fantasy · ash_knight17
"What's gotten you down, monkey?" Hadeon asked in an unconcerned voice. That dreadful nickname…

"Do you believe the murderer could be a woman, Lady Jane?" Addison asked cautiously.
