The Vampire’s Bride

While he was unaware of the extent of the power, Alaric could feel it. “There will be chaos.” He had lived long enough to know if any talisman, such as Maverick House, was not cared for, it could cause a cosmic shift in the supernatural world.

“Why tell us now?” While Alaric knew everything happened for a reason, he liked to know what the reason was.”

“Maybe, you’re ready to hear it now.”

“Possibly.” Alaric was the first to admit that vampires didn’t take a lot seriously until reality was forced on them.

“So you two have to get your acts together. You know this house and the land it stands on is sensitive to the moods of your kin. It has stood here for centuries. You two have only been allowed access to it recently, and you’ve created nothing but havoc with your bickering.”

“We’re grown men. We don’t bicker.”

Polly rolled her eyes. “Okay, so you whine a lot. Just get your acts together, or neither of you will have a peaceful future.”

Alaric didn’t doubt for a second that Polly was right. She always was. The housekeeper was one of the few people Alaric stood in awe of. Why? He wasn’t sure. He was eighty percent certain Polly was mortal, and yet there was something indefinable about her that made him wary. But she was one of the few people who knew the ins and outs of Maverick House. Before he and Richard had arrived, the house had remained silent and watchful but for Polly. Each successive housekeeper, like Polly, had maintained it without question. It was their job, and they never queried it.

Although he had been aware Maverick House existed, neither he nor Richard had been permitted to visit. They had to be summoned.

That had annoyed them, but they knew that when they were summoned, in this case by Polly, there would be good reason. What it was, they still hadn’t been sure, and Polly’s vague allusion to “your futures” hadn’t helped.

Alaric shook his head and tried to focus on the present. The future was unfathomable.
