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
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 484: Escape
I ran. I had no choice, no recourse. I could have fought, of course I could have. But even if I won, Pannera would have attacked me next for the power of the essence, law or no law. Especially after our little conversation about me taking the throne should I win.Even my vampire essence wasn't strong enough to take on two Queens.But I knew better than to teleport. Instead, just as Celeste's hissing whisper faded from her lips, I reached deep, drew my demon as far to the surface as I could and tore open the veil.I felt Celeste's hand on my neck as I tumbled forward into the narrow gap, barely big enough for me to squeeze through. Her grip slid, released as the veil slammed shut behind her.I hoped she lost a finger.Only problem was, my demon was now out of power and able to muster only enough to reopen the veil and toss me out before she lost consciousness. I staggered into the darkness, surrounded by trees, stumbling over a pile of rocks and to the edge of a very, very high cli
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 485: Drained
Shaylee's keening echoed in my head as I was pulled to the ground and pinned under countless bodies. I fought them, screaming in answer to my Sidhe's cries, my vampire pushing them away over and over as the clan rushed in and struck me countless blows."Stop fighting." Batsheva's laughter followed her order as my body went limp and unmoving though my mind still tried to move my limbs. Even my vampire was still, Shaylee's crying now, soft sobs, her power reaching out to support me though she knew the same thing I did.We were going to die and there wasn't anything we could do to stop it."Strip her clothing." Claws tore at my dress in response, slashing great rents in the fabric, pulling it free, exposed to the night air where I lay, shivering but motionless, looking up at the clear crystal stars while my brain spun in circles of panic.But my heart... my heart was quiet. Still. Calm. And, as Batsheva bent over me, her long hair falling to brush my bare shoulder, I felt my mind re

flashflickersparksilenceblackquietnothingNothing.***Something?I'm floating. Weightless. There is pain, but only peripheral, as though it's someone else's and I'm holding onto it for them.But no. This is what it feels like to die.I think I should be sad about it, but it's hard to feel anything. The world is a dull, soft place without edges and as I float, the pain fades too, leaving me alone.Alone. As I always knew I'd be in the end.That wakes something in me. I might be crying, but it hardly matters. No feeling sorry for myself in death. Won't do me any good.You cannot die, Sydlynn Hayle.I know her, the voice. The wavering image I can almost see clearly.Iepa. Her name is an effort.You are of the Undying, dear one. And you must survive.She should have mentioned that to the vampires. Before they drained me.Why are you haunting me? She needs to leave. There will be a light or something soon, I hope. To show me where to go.You are still in the veil
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 487: Wake
Light wakes me. Trill's glasses catch a little of it, reflecting over her brown eyes as she says my name, but I don't hear her speak until long after her lips have stopped moving. Makes me giggle, her soundtrack is off.Giggling hurts.An old woman joins her, hair tight in a red kerchief though sprigs of steel gray peek out along the edges. She has a very large mole on the end of her chin and I can't stop staring at it.More giggling. More pain.Trill's lips move. Time passes. I hear her words: "Is she going to be okay, Nona?" Fear in her voice. Yes, in her face too, as she pulls away her glasses, her brown eyes clear to me.Another face, this one with vibrant blue eyes, makes me smile. I open my mouth to say "Owen."And pass out.***My body rocks back and forth, something soft under me, daylight streaming in a window over my head. Hand-made quilt, the smell of the outdoors and cooking. The rumble of an engine, wheels over pavement.Darkness.***"-brought her as fast as we
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 488: Planning My Return
I didn't have to tell them where I was going, what I was doing. The crowd at the door already knew. Backed off and let me enter, hands touching me, Mom hugging me swiftly, Meira, Liam. Uncle Frank almost crushed me he held me so tight, but I didn't mind."We should have stayed, fought harder." His words were muffled in my hair."You had no choice." I kissed his cheek and smiled. I could smile now that I'd decided what to do. "But I do."Sunny next, trembling, teary, but full of love. "I'll never forgive myself," she whispered."Silly," I said. "I feel the same way about me. For putting all of you in that position. I should have just cut and run instead of trying to play their game."Sebastian. He engulfed me in his arms, though his body was rigid. "I failed you."Damn them, all of them, with their guilt. Though I understood it, of course I did. But I needed them to suck it up if I was going to go back and do what I had to."Enough," I said, with enough force behind it they all s
