Unexpected guest on the list
Mallory watched Lady Violet's face turn red before she turned and left with her servant without another word. The others in the room looked barely bothered. She turned to look at Hadeon, who leaned forward to pick up one of the appetisers and put it in his mouth.
When they returned to the couch, another vampire came to speak to him. It was evident that he was popular, while people carefully talked to him as if not wanting to get on his bad side.
"Would you care for another glass?" The servant offered her a tray full of drinks.
Mallory picked it up, as it wasn't like she had fangs and could suck people's blood, and there wasn't much to do. Her eyes moved to Hadeon, listening to him catch up with his acquaintances. She was grateful for his gesture of sending Violet out of here.
"I need to visit the powder room," Mallory whispered, realising she shouldn't have gulped the cold drink.
