Chapter 14

The house was pretty much what I’d expected from having seen the old photos of me as a baby in front of that ginormous fireplace. It was a massive, and clearly old, stone pile that wouldn’t have looked out of place in Europe somewhere. Wide steps led from the cobbled drive up to a pair of oversized entry doors. I had a bit of deja vu when I spotted a pinch mouthed older woman in a rather 70s looking pantsuit and a man in formal attire standing on the top step, obviously waiting for us to arrive.

“We made it okay,” Miranda chirped at the woman as she climbed out of the car and trotted up the stairs. She air-kissed the cheek of the woman. “Just need to Witchagram them first so we can get a handle on the situation via social media,” she gushed.

I got out of the van and stood at the bottom of the stairs. Laurent got out and came around to hold my hand, Charles and Brent standing shoulder to shoulder behind us.

Miranda stood, looking uncertain now. “Well, come on. Aren’t you going to come say hello to your grandmother?”

My grandmother looked me up and down, then swept her eyes to look over the guys in turn. “Hello, dear,” she rasped. “You remind me so much of your mother. Welcome to Wildewood.” She certainly didn’t look as if that pleased her, but her eyes weren’t busy shooting daggers, either. “As for you young men, I suppose I should welcome you to the family. Not quite how I would have liked to meet my only grandchild and her suitors, mind. I would have much preferred it to be before a formal match was made.”

Again with the marrying us off to each other!

She shook her head. “Still, I couldn’t have asked for a better one, I suppose. I’ve known your families for years, and I know your reputations. Fine young men, and now you’ve formed a Triad. Simply splendid.” She glanced at the man standing next to her, and he gave a sharp rap onto one of the doors. They swung open, and she spun on her heel to sweep herself through the door. She paused just over the threshold, turning to look at us over her shoulder. “You may all call me Grandmama or Grandmother, whichever you prefer,” she said. “And Miranda, hurry up with the Witchwhatever pictures you want to take. The staff is waiting to be introduced.” She resumed walking, the double doors closing behind her with a sense of finality.

“Talk about making a dramatic exit,” I muttered.

“Par for the course,” Charles whispered back, hoarsely.

“Well, come on,” Miranda said, impatient. “You heard your grandmother.”

I noticed she didn’t call her aunt, and my grandfather was conspicuously absent. I suspected that despite all the joviality and air kisses, there was not much love lost there. It looked more and more like we’d fallen into a snake pit, all right. Laurent gently tugged me forward by the hand, leading me up the steps.
