"It's going to be alright," Hadeon whispered reassuringly in her ear, placing a gentle hand on her back to guide her forward.

"Will you make sure I don't hurt anyone innocent?" Mallory asked, turning to meet his gaze with concern.

"How did you manage it?" Mallory inquired cautiously as they navigated the corridor.

Hadeon's lips curled into an almost mischievous smile. "I didn't. I fed and killed until the thrill wore off—though that took over a century."
