Haunted Mansion Beating Heart Bride Novels & Stories

Having the go ahead, they gave directions to Carter, looking after the car oddly. The car pulled to a stop in front of a four-story packhouse, complete with marble columns and flowers everywhere you could see. The show of wealth made Kylan feel out of place as she stepped out of the car, her black locks falling down about her waist in soft curls. Could she really be the sister of someone who lives…here? As if Carter could hear her thoughts, he slipped his hand in hers and squeezed gently. “It’s okay, I got you.” A smile spread over her face as she gazed up at him. There was no question of her devotion to the man at her side, her future Alpha and chosen mate.

The one where I’m Avery Harper, just a girl trying to survive her sister’s death and the mess of a life I never asked for, and the other where I’m Avery Maddox, tangled up in a curse I don’t understand, married to a man whose secrets are darker than his eyes. I sit on the edge of the bed, the room feeling too quiet, too heavy. The only sound is the faint crackling from the fireplace downstairs, the only sign of life in this house that feels more like a tomb than a home. It’s a mansion in name, but the walls feel too close, the halls too empty. I’ve started seeing things in the corners of my vision—flickers of movement, shadows that shift when I’m not looking directly at them. It’s not just t

“Go to bed, Raven. The house is alive at night, and not all its parts are friendly.” I returned to my room ,eventually. Locking the door. Sleep didn’t come easy. Around three a.m., I found an envelope slipped beneath my door. Plain. Cream-colored. No seal. Inside, a single note, written in careful, blocky letters: They’ll kill you before the wedding. Watch the maid with the braid. I stared at the words, heart a cold, heavy drum in my chest. This wasn’t just about our plan anymore. This was survival.

The shadows cast by the dim streetlights played tricks on my imagination, elongating and contorting into grotesque shapes. My footsteps, usually resolute, faltered as I reached the front door. A chill ran down my spine, a gut response to the foreboding atmosphere that enveloped the house. In the hushed anticipation, I strained to discern the sounds emanating from within. The night held its breath, and so did I, standing on the threshold of the unknown. And then, the silence shattered. The first scream cut through the air like a banshee's wail, a primal expression of distress that resonated with a haunting intensity.

Anthony exclaimed, his mind racing with thoughts of who could have done this to his son. At that moment, they knew there was only one person who could help them - Hazel. Without wasting another second, they rushed Damien into the car and sped off towards her place, their hearts pounding with a mix of hope and fear. "Hazel!" Anthony yelled as they arrived at her doorstep, his voice filled with urgency. "Take him to the altar," she commanded, her voice steady and filled with a sense of purpose. They carefully carried Damien to the altar, laying him down gently as Hazel began to chant a spell. The air around them seemed to crackle with energy as her eyes turned white and her hair stood on end,

“It really does look like a bridal decoration.” Suddenly, three words crawl through my mind; “The Dancing Bride.” Why would the Ayutthaya mansion have an arched entryway in their dungeon? And an entryway fit for a bride? Who is this bride? Is she Bhyron’s dancing bride? Why are they so obsessed with a faceless bride? My brain is still conjuring scenarios when a strange sound suddenly pierces the air. I freeze. We both freeze. Zuri whispers something but I can barely hear her above the sound of my raging heartbeat;

She held her breath and watched. The ghost let out a chilling wail, then suddenly spread her arms and lunged straight at Bruce. The scene was terrifying. Claudia's heart rose to her throat. Bruce stood at an angle. He only needed to step aside to avoid the attack. Unexpectedly, he did not move. He stood perfectly straight, completely still. A dull sound echoed. The ghost in the blood-stained wedding gown, her face twisted and horrifying, crashed fully into Bruce's arms. Cheap, pungent red stage blood smeared across his expensive tailored black suit, spreading into a vivid stain.

She turned to Arah, grinning with a glint of madness in her red eyes, her hand raised ominously, just as she had done before. Fear gripped Arah’s throat as she struggled to get a clear view of Mabel, now forced to stand in front of the podium, facing her. Mabel tried to run, but a bride’s sharp nail dug into the side of her neck, freezing her in place. Mabel trembled, tears streaming down her face, her eyes pleading silently with Arah. Their friends were screaming from the back, and as the vampire bride leaned in, baring her fangs, Arah’s vision blurred. She swept her hands through the air, a fierce blast of wind tearing through the space, scattering the puppet guards like leaves.

Evans I lay in the dark, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped bird. Beside me, I felt the mattress shift. Hailey sat up, her movement sharp and jagged. I kept my eyes closed, forcing my breathing to stay shallow, but I could feel her focus on me. It wasn't just a gaze; it was a physical weight. Her ability was out of control, radiating off her in waves of heat that made the air in the room feel thin. I knew she felt it. She felt the rot of the lie I had been carrying since the day we stood at the altar. I waited, counting the seconds in the silence, until I heard her feet hit the carpet. She moved like a ghost, her footsteps receding toward the door. Only when the soft click of
