He put his arm around her. They chatted with her relatives until dessert arrived.
Zora was halfway through it when she had a thought and looked at Regick. “How do I buy a vampire?”
The table erupted in uproar and Zora sat there listening to the riot explode around her. For the first time in her life, she was at a proper family dinner and she had picked a fight. Grinning, she turned her attention to the crème and listened to the arguments for and against purchasing a vampire.
It was nice to be part of a family and have a future…even if it was looking to be completely bizarre.
The End.
Author’s Note
This book was a story was written for ARE’s Alpha series. I let my brain go and this is what came out.
Yes, this could easily become another series, but no, it won’t. I mean I am pretty sure. Almost sure. Really. Umm… g’night.
Thanks for reading,
Viola Grace
About the Author
Viola Grace (aka Zenina Masters) is a Canadian sci-fi/paranormal romance writer with ambitions to keep writing for the rest of her life. She specializes in short stories because the thrill of discovery, of all those firsts, is what keeps her writing. A writer who crafts a story that catches you up, whirls you around and sets you down with a smile on your face is all she endeavors to be. She prefers to leave the drama to those who are better suited to it, and always goes for the cheap laugh. Listening to readers has gotten her this far, and with her 300th short story looming before the end of 2014, she will continue to listen in the future.
