Madeline snuggled herself into Draven's embrace. "What about him?" she whispered, trying to see the monster, but Draven was quick to avert her gaze.
"He will be dealt with," he said firmly. As soon as he spoke, three vampires appeared behind him, their eyes narrowed at the rogue, who darted his eyes from them towards Draven.
Raising his voice so the human could hear him, the rogue questioned, "Does she know who you truly are?"
Draven clenched his jaw, ignoring him. "Let me take you away from here. My men will deal with him," he said, nodding at the three vampires who wore black long cloaks. Then, he led Madeline away from the scene, blocking her view to shield her from witnessing the fight between the rogue and his vampires.
Even though Madeline could hear the clash of the battle behind her, she couldn't see what was happening. Perhaps the guards fighting against the monster would prevail, but he was a monster. Would they be okay?
