Excerpt from book two of full moon series, CONGREGATION OF DARKNESS: The two vampires glared at each other ferociously across the fifteen feet or so of meadow between them. Charley Rabbit, a twice-bitten vampire, was fighting against the imposed restraint of his best friends(and also vampires) Lux and Orry, who were on either side of hom and sweating with the exertion of containing him. Across the yard, looking pissed and ready to rumble, was Cass, Lux’s twin brother and the now ‘former’ best friend of Charley Rabbit. Their altercation had broken out after the wedding of vampires Celeste and Ariel, and everyone was still dress in wedding attire. “Really, Cass, REALLY?” Charley was screaming as he fought to free himself to have another go at Cass,”All the women, female vampires and dhampirs in the world and you hit on my MOM? For God sakes what the hell is Wrong WITH YOU DUDE?” “Charley,” Cass said, panting to catch his breath from the initial go round the pair had already had in which powerful blows were exchanged,”This isn’t about YOU, man! It’s about your mom and me. It wasn’t anything we planne. Last fall when she was going through a really rough time…” “I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANY DETAILS YOU MORON!” Charley spat, his fangs protruding from his mouth in total warfare mode.”And I don’t have to wonder who twice-bit her now, do I?” “She asked me to,”Cass said earnestly,”It was totally her decision. You can ask her man.” Charley’s glare deepened. “Did you FANG her? Did you fang her or draw through the skin?” Cass smelled a trap. The emphasis that Charley was putting on the word”fang” made it sound like another F word. “Charley, that’s between your mom and I man—it really isn’t any of your business! He retorted. At that Charley broke free of his friends, flew forward at warp speed and shoved Cass into an elderly oak tree some 10 feet behind where Cass had been standing. The superhuman force of the push caused the trunk to split with a heavy splintering sound. Lux and Orry caught up with Charley quickly, pulled him down and sat on him. Cass, a bit shaken, squatted down to talk to Charley on as close to eye level as he could manage given Charley’s prone position. Cass’s tone was sad. “Look Charley, I’m sorry if my loving your mom is offensive to you. I’ll stay away from her until you two have had a chance to talk. I’ve said all I have to say.I’m going home now—if for no other reason than to NOT mess up Celeste and Ariel’s celebration I suggest you pull it together.” Without waiting for a reply,Cass disappeared in the general direction of the parking lot.
