presence alone was enough to allow Sara to get lost in the fascination of the moment. Channing could feel Sara’s presence behind him, but he didn’t turn around. Everything that he’d heard about Sara had totally confused him. He didn’t believe all this talk of fate. He calmly finished the piece and then let his hands rest on the keys.
»What a wonderful melody.« Sara walked slowly across the room and stood next to Channing. »I’m Sara ... « »Sara, you’re unmistakable.« He looked over at the photograph, which stood in a silver frame on the piano. »But aren’t you expected to be back in two months?« She shrugged. »I had second thoughts. And who, if I may ask, are you?« Channing smirked a bit about her somewhat arrogant tone of voice. »Well, who do you think I am?«
»Do you always a question with another question?« and when he didn’t say anything, she said, »you’re clearly a warrior.« »What makes you think that?« Channing lifted an eyebrow curiously and stood up.
»Even your beautiful piano playing couldn’t cover up one hefty dose of testosterone. So who can I welcome into my home then?« »I’m Channing.« Sara looked up in surprise. »You aren’t Dr. Channing McArthur, are you?« »Yes, that’s me.« He was considerably younger than she’d imagined and he was a vampire! She’d pegged Dr. McArthur for a much older man, but this man seemed to be in his mid-thirties. »I see you two have met.« Maroush’s dark voice broke through the silence between the two of them. »Roush! Oh my God! I’m so happy to see you.« She went up to him, gave him a hug and kissed him on the cheek. He grabbed Sara around the waist and pulled her closer to him, an intimate gesture that Channing couldn’t help but notice. A low growl spread through his chest, but he got himself under control and didn’t let the sound leave his throat. »What’s been happening here?« She looked into Maroush’s eyes questioningly. »We’ve been expecting you. Shia could sense that you were on your way home.« »Where is he?« »He’s out looking for information about the attacks downtown. He should be back soon, when he senses that you’re here.« Sara looked over at Channing who’d been standing motionless at the piano the whole time. »What happened to you? When you left Paris, you were still a human being.« »Shia had to transform him, otherwise he would have died,« explained Maroush, »but I suppose he’ll want to tell you that himself.« Sara nodded. »Good, I’ll go unpack and wait for him to get back. I’ll be in my room.« She smiled at the men and walked away.
»Maroush, is there something between you and Sara? I was watching you yesterday when you left the room and now today.« Channing approached him and looked at him intently. Maroush wanted to turn away, but Channing held him by the arm. »Please, it’s important for me to know. I’m not here to destroy anything. I don’t believe in all this talk and hocus-pocus about fate either. What is Sara to you?« Maroush brusquely pulled away and looked Channing directly in the eyes.
»Sara is my sister, just like Shia is my brother. There isn’t anything else to say.« »That’s not enough!« »You mean you don’t believe me?« Channing held his gaze.
»I want to trust you and that’s only possible when everything is clear between us. I have to know you won’t stab me in the back.« Maroush nodded. »It was me who transformed Sara after she’d been attacked by a creature, one of the hunters of darkness, whose blood type didn’t match. Shia couldn’t do the transformation. Although the same blood flows through their veins, it’s impossible for siblings to perform. She would have bled to death, so I saved her life. There’s been a bond between us ever since. Sara needs to be fed now and then and I’ve always taken care of that. Nothing more. I am not her soulmate. Never have been and never will be. That’s you. Even if you don’t believe in
