Madeline didn't miss the way her grandmother looked down at Calhoun and her hands holding each other. The smile on her grandmother's face faltered. When her grandmother opened her arms, waiting for Madeline to step forward and hug, Calhoun pulled Madeline behind to receive a narrow-eyed look from the old couple.
"Is there a reason why you are keeping our granddaughter away from us, my Lord," Madeline's grandfather questioned Calhoun, who was not pleased with the little action that took place in front of them.
"There's more than one, but I don't think I have to explain it when you are already aware of it," Calhoun offered them a smile, "You should be careful of what you speak."
"We don't know what you are speaking about. You should already know we are not someone who welcome vampires with open arms. King or not, we can still take our granddaughter away from you," said Madeline's grandfather.
