Kapitel 73: Blood on map

"You're serious?" Mallory asked, her eyes wide. Another woman in love with him? "If that's true, I don't think we should be asking for her help." She wasn't sure if Ivy had done it on purpose, but she didn't want to risk it with a witch involved.

"Relax, monkey," Hadeon replied calmly. "I was being sarcastic. You need to learn to take a joke." He started walking again, a sly smile playing on his lips. 

Mallory glared at the pureblooded vampire. Catching up to him, she said, "I thought you didn't joke."

"What are you saying? I always joke." Hadeon softly huffed, then playfully chided her, "You haven't been paying attention. Besides, did you not see the love and affection shared?"

Mallory murmured, "Something tells me your definition of love is quite different from others," thinking of the witch who had attacked them with poisonous spikes.

"What gives it away?" Hadeon grinned, eyes twinkling with mischief.
