Maxine lay on the floor, contemplating on what could have happened if the Duke's advisor had not come to her aid earlier.
The encounter with Duke Sullivan had been nothing short of terrifying, and the image of his monstrous transformation was stuck in her memory.
Maxine had seen a side of the vampire Duke that sent shivers down her spine, and she couldn't help but wonder about why he was like that and why he had turned berserk when he was just neutral earlier.
He had made her think she was safe with him and he would not harm her but then...Maxine knew she could not believe that anymore.
Damien took Maxine's hand and helped her stood up. "Apology, Lady Healer."
Maxine nodded as if she was alright, telling herself not to show her fear.
"I am afraid this is the end of today's discussion. I will take you to your Kingdom now."
