The sight of her blood caused the demon within him to flare with hunger, a very deep hunger. This type of hunger was uncontrollable. Usually, he could control himself at the sight of human blood, but Madeline's blood was different.
The mere sight of her blood was enough to make him go insane. He knew this. In fact, he knew this all too well, which is why he needed to be wary of her. She was dangerous for him, and he couldn't afford to harm her. She was the only one who could save him from this torment.
Draven quickly looked away and took a long breath. It was hard not to have what you were craving for when it was right there in front of you.
When he was sure the demon had calmed down, and his eyes were back to normal, he turned back to her but avoided looking at her hand. It was enough for his self-control to be put in place. He doubted if he could control himself any longer if he stared at it again. Not to mention, the scent of it was not helping.
