Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 587: Retreat
Gram's grim expression told me my own couldn't have looked good. Instead of grilling me for answers, she hustled me around the corner and toward the exit, Charlotte sniffing at me, chuffing softly, angrily as though she could smell Ameline all over me.Which I knew for a fact she couldn't. Hadn't been able to for ages.Pissed Charlotte off to no end, too. I knew how she felt.We practically ran down the stairs, Gram setting a grueling pace. My vibrating thighs and aching butt were happy to alert me to the fact I was going to suffer for a few days. Sitting down would likely be impossible without serious groaning and complaining.But I ignored the feeling, ignored everything, let Gram lead and Charlotte follow, trusted them to keep me going in the right direction while my mind churned and the core of fear and anger in my guts writhed like a living thing.We slowed as we entered the stronghold again, down from the tower. It was easy enough to keep my head bowed while I fought a mas
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 588: Stymied
I stood on the grass beside the bench and tried to pull my crap together after telling Gram and Charlotte everything Ameline told me.Again, Gram didn't look surprised. Having her Enforcer magic with me gave her the in she needed to eavesdrop. Still, talking it out helped me work around some of my fear."We have to tell Mom." Why was that always my initial go-to? Old habits. But damn it, I had to talk to her. Yes, she'd freaked on me last time. And I remained rigidly furious with her. Still, now that I knew what I knew... how could I keep this from her?And I had to know if Ameline was right. About other covens going missing."You're as big an idiot as that boy of yours." I didn't correct Gram. Quaid wasn't mine anymore.Hang on. She was talking about Liam-Oh, Syd."Your mother has made it very clear you're to stay out of this," Gram said. "Really feel like round two? With the information you now have, unconfirmed information that has nothing to do with the present circumstance
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 589: Return of Demetrius
Emptiness echoed from the kitchen. The touch of it pulled me from the sleep I'd finally managed to wrangle, harsh and unforgiving rest filled with endless stone corridors and Ameline's laughter.I leaped from bed, raced down the stairs, while my heart skipped beats and adrenaline raced through my system. My power gathering, maji surging inside me. Only one thing felt empty like that.Sorcerer.In my house.I skidded to a halt, iridescent power rippling around me, hands fisted and ready to attack. Gram looked up from the bubbling pot of oatmeal she stirred with a wicked little smile on her face."You look chipper," she said.Someone cackled. I turned, still prepared to defend my home. My family.Only to come face-to-face with Demetrius's cherubic grin."Pretty," he said, pointing at my rainbow aura.Gram's giggle joined his. "Think there's a pot of gold in there somewhere?"Ha freaking ha.I let the magic fade, the creation power easing, the many parts of me separating and fa
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 590: Lies And Deceptions
Charlotte had a firm hold on Demetrius the entire trip to Harvard. Not that I didn't trust him to stay with us in the veil, but one just never knew.Would be just my luck to lose his ass in the transfer.Gram and Shenka I left with firm instructions. We already knew the only way to combat the attack of the Brotherhood was by weakening our defenses and not giving them magic to feed their sorcery. We'd learned that lesson the hard way, when Liander Belaisle and his pack of bullies attacked the vampire mansion. But my heart still fought me, my logic, too. It felt so wrong to tell the family to let their shielding go. Not only because those shields kept us safe day to day, a natural part of who we were. But because I now had no idea if such a defense would even work against the sorcerer's new tactics.Without the chance to have a look at this machine Demetrius mentioned, for all I knew, lowering the family's shielding signed my family's death warrants.I tightened my link with the cove
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 591: Deluded
Erica stepped away, a sob lifting her shoulders. Mom glanced at her, breaking the hold we'd both held on each other. When Mom's eyes met mine again, she calmed enough the Council magic fell away, though I could still feel it bubbling around her edges."Damn you, Syd," Mom said, spinning away from me, feet thudding on the floor as she paced toward the table. "You had to disobey me, didn't you?""I don't believe you," I said as my own anger faded, now numb, my body dull and heavy as shock set in. Almost as if she'd physically injured me. "You let those covens be destroyed. You let Mia's magic be stolen. All to keep this quiet."Mom's rage returned, though she had a firm hold on her power this time. She spun back, voice an unrecognizable shriek."I already told you, I was protecting them!" Her voice echoed in the large chamber, bouncing from wall to ceiling to floor, pummeling me with sound. "Now they are out there, stirring up their families, alerting the Brotherhood we know what the
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 592: Hopeless
Home. It felt like a trap to me. Like we were sitting ducks, just waiting for the Brotherhood to show up and take our magic, burn our bodies, crush our bones.I couldn't let it happen.Shenka returned from visiting some of the family, only to leave again when a panicked call for support came. Not because we were under attack. But because the family was afraid.Didn't help I was, too. And they felt it, through me. Felt my rage against Mom, my absolute loss as to what to do from here. Gram huddled in the kitchen, sock feet drawn up on her chair, hugging her knees to her thin chest, glaring into space. Charlotte constantly patrolled the house and yard, a ghost of a girl in and out of wolf form. I'd already warned Galleytrot to keep Liam safely in his cavern, away from any harm that could arise.I'll watch over him, you know I will. The big dog's power hugged me, his fear as real as mine. But what about you and the family?We'll manage, I sent. I'm so close to maji, I think I can hand
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 593: The Call Of Quaid
I took a moment to slip out to the back yard, to gather my thoughts and pull myself together. The instant my butt hit the bench, I thought of Mr. Yummy Leather Pants and how this was Quaid's and my usual meeting place. Or had been. Followed by a dose of guilt and worry about him. I'd left him in a precarious position. And while he wouldn't have survived turning me in if that had been his intent after all, it really wasn't his fault I broke the law.He'd told me in autumn, if I needed him, no matter what, he was there for me. Which made my initial worry he would tell on me anyway fade to non-existence. If Quaid was going to play rat fink, he'd have done it long before now. That look he'd given me in the corridor back at the stronghold, told me he'd known it was me all along.And rather than sending in the cavalry to round me up, he waited in the dark, alone, to corner me himself.As much as I wished it wasn't true, I needed him now. It was likely what I was about to ask of him would
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 594: Visiting Mia
Gram didn't seem at all surprised Quaid was with me when I reentered the kitchen. She fixed him with her faded blue eyes, not moving as he bent over her and soundly kissed her cheek."I wouldn't have turned you in, crazy lady," he said, deep voice rumbling in the quiet."Hrumph," she said, swatting at him, wiping at the place his lips had been like he gave her cooties. But when her gaze met mine, there was a sparkle in it that had been missing since we started our little discussion about the Dumont succession."You two go," Gram said. "At least Quaid will have an excuse and he might be able to make one for you if you can get to Mia before her watchers do."Charlotte didn't ask. Didn't have to. Like she'd let me leave her behind."You'll have to cover for us," Quaid said. "Miriam assigned two Enforcer teams to each coven."Gram's face screwed up in a scowl. "Lot of good that will do now," she said.Hadn't I just had the same thought?I felt the arrival of our new watchdogs just
