Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 476: Terrible Idea
Batsheva immediately demanded a recess of her own and, through another heaving sigh, Margaret granted it.I wasn't alone in my chambers long before company rushed in to ask me if I'd been knocked from my rocker."You can't do this." Sebastian swept into the room, sweeping toward me, hands out. He gripped my shoulders, shook me ever so slightly, though the pressure of his hold told me just how agitated he was. He was nearing vampire strength, not be-nice-to-the-frail-witch-girl strength. And though I understood his concern, I had no desire to test the limits of my immortality under friendly fire.I didn't get a chance to free myself. With a growl and a swipe of her arm, Charlotte knocked him back, away from me. Sebastian's eyes flared white a moment, fangs showing, his quick reaction to her protection also letting me know he wasn't happy.Not even a little.Charlotte just bared her teeth, sliding between us, the wolf coming out in her hands, the shift of her shoulders, and though I
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 477: Ameline's Warning
I know I should have been much more focused on what was happening around me as I was led out of my chambers by a pair of vampires, once Batsheva had enjoyed her little recess, and toward the throne room instead of thinking about Sebastian.But oh, my, my, my. Those lips. That magic. My body still tingled.So much for Quaid.Who said that? I turned my head a little as we passed the entry to the main room only to catch sight of a black-robed figure behind a statue. One white hand swept the hood back a little, Ameline's crystal blue eyes locking on mine.Choke.We need to talk, she sent. Watch your back.I couldn't think fast enough to latch onto her, nor, I supposed, did I have the power. And then I was past her, every pair of eyes on me, including Mom's and Margaret's.Did I dare mention Ameline was here? And what did she want?Watch my back. Since when was the ice princess herself on my side?So much churning going on, I needed a moment to reorder everything, but didn't get th
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 478: Travesty
And that was that. Ceremony over, all said and done, nothing to see here, move along.Margaret looked impatient, clearly wanting to zippity-do-da her way back to Delusionland. But no way was she going while Mom still hovered, her Enforcers gathered around her in a tight, angry knot.Mom, I sent, feeling the rush of her relief when she felt my magicks were partially at my disposal. Just go. It's cool. Go.With a firm nod and a flash of blue power, she did, her Enforcers with her, so fast Margaret grunted at the rapid departure before waving irritably at the lot of us."Behave," she snapped. "Or else." Then, she gathered up her own posse and left.Wow. Effective. Wish I'd thought to try telling the Queens not to hurt me.Snort.Batsheva turned in her throne and glared at Pannera. "Your turn," she said, all illusions of niceness, as thin as they were, vanished with the witches.Pannera simply reclined further in her own seat, a little smile on her stone face. Did wonders for her b
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 479: Pannera
"You need to be wary." Sebastian's voice was soft, low, but came through clear enough. "As much as I have trusted my Queen in the past, I'm not as certain of her intentions anymore."Sad. I reached out and linked my arm through his, the two blonde vampires swaying in their ball gowns ahead of us. "I'm sorry," I said, really meaning it.Family. Who else could hurt him so much?His hand settled over mine, pressing my fingers into his arm. "This entire situation could get out of control very quickly," he went on. "Neither of our clans is meant to be in such close proximity for such an extended period."A bomb waiting to go off, in other words. Well, at least if they were fighting each other, they might forget about me."Batsheva is up to her old tricks," I said. "Not like she'd shift tactics now anyway, since her mind's gone bye-bye. She's lying to her vampires."Sebastian shrugged. "There's nothing we can do to stop her," he said. "She is Queen."Well, wasn't she special?We didn
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 480: Small Talk
Pannera sent me on my way with Sebastian at my side once more. Only now, when he walked beside me I wondered why he was with me-for me, or because she ordered him to watch me and report back to her?I hated thinking about him like that. Sebastian was my friend and, if the kiss he offered me was genuine, maybe had the potential to be more. I couldn't bear to live with the idea that everything he did was suspect."I have my people placed carefully," he said as we walked, breaking my sad silence. "They will alert me if anything happens, but I can't do much more than that, especially after the sun rises." He slowed his pace a little, bending over me. "I'm sorry, Sydlynn. I should never have allowed you to risk your life to save me when I was host to the essence.""Water under the bridge," I said. "I just hope you know I'm not angry or anything. About you following orders." The memory of the pain my battle caused was enough to make me wince. "I'm just a little hurt knowing I can't really
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 481: Worst Choice Ever
If I was so adamant and sure of my plan-yeah, right-why did the idea of a little outside assistance from Ameline keep cropping up in my over-stressed brain?Demetrius was pretty set on his opinions about her. "No, can't, worse than Batsheva, worse than Belaisle." He shuddered when he spoke the sorcerer's name. I didn't blame him, really. Liander Belaisle was about as smarmy and arrogant as they came, with serious dominance issues, if our brief encounter in his custody was an experience to judge from. "Ameline, she is hate."And while I occasionally danced with the devil, I took his warning to heart.Okay then. No Ameline."Is there a way to remove the powder from my system?" I sat so I'd be more on eye level with the man, still hunkered down near the floor."Yes, yes, yes," he said. "But you won't be happy. No, no, no."Lovely. "Spill it."He flinched, a whine escaping before he bobbed his head, silver curls swaying. "All of your blood has to leave you."Well, the vampires woul
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 482: Piotr's Leash
I didn't kill any of them. Pretty sure. But not one of my four attackers were able to get up when my vampire was done with them.The little skirmish only increased my annoyance, ramping up as I stalked away from their groaning complaints and stomped my way to the throne room. It had been converted into a banquet hall the night before and, from the look of the well-laden tables, this was to be another prolonged evening of dining and dissembling.Not if I had anything to say about it.Piotr hovered near Batsheva, standing behind her chair, glaring at me as I stormed my way into the hall and up to the Queen who was responsible for my safety."This piece of garbage," I jabbed a finger at him, "and his little friends attacked me on my way here." Piotr didn't react, though Batsheva's smile pulled into a false frown while Pannera watched with interest. Sebastian half-rose from his chair, but his Queen waved him back.Careful, he sent.I was done with careful. "What are you going to do a
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 483: Traitor
One would think my friends would have prepared me better. Told me everything I needed to know about this challenge business. Who knew Batsheva could say no?You don't have any support in the family, Sunny broke through, voice low and anxious. She doesn't have to fight you.Thanks so much for telling me before I made an idiot of myself, I shot back at her while Batsheva slowly stood. Now what?Sunny didn't answer. But Batsheva did."Traitor," she said, joy in her voice as she slowly circled me, her vampires closing in while Pannera and her family fell back. All of them. Sebastian, Sunny. Uncle Frank.Uh-oh."Strike one," Celeste said.Syd, Sunny reached for me in desperation. I'm sorry, this is my fault. I never expected you to challenge her so soon. Syd... you have to run.I did not like the sound of that. Especially when the clan clustered closer, glowing eyes burning with white fire, fangs out, hissing and growling warning me I'd stepped in it this time up to my neck.As lon
