They had reached the bottom of the stairs now. In front the main entrance greeted them. A huge gate connected them to the outside world. To their right side a gap in the wall led to the bar but Zu ignored it and instead headed towards a door next to the stairs.
"Mama told me about your meeting. She told me you know that she is a vampire," Zu said, finally following up on her mother's advice. "She must like you to tell so quickly." A moment later she pushed open the door and they entered the huge kitchen. Its most prominent part was the kitchen island. Surrounding it were bar stools. The walls were lined with kitchen counters. Most were clean but the occasional item signalled that a family lived in this place: a book next to the fridge, a few used mugs next to the sink and tablet set up for charging next wireless speaker boxes.
Then there was the white wolf lying in the corner who watched them intently. "Jacob, this is Fenrir. Don't mind him. He's likely going to ignore it. Before I tell you more about my family... which tea would you like? English breakfast or would you prefer Earl Grey?"
