Veronica raised her eyebrows since she didn't understand what he was saying. What was he attempting to do?

He had no choice but to do it because of her. He could not let her back into his life at any cost. Her entire life would be a wreck. And for as long as Alfred knew who Draven was, he would make every effort to forge more blood pacts with those elite warriors of this realm.
