Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 613: No Pity
I left Gram in the kitchen, exiting into the driveway. I still missed seeing Mom's classic blue Mustang, her baby gone with her to Harvard. And I really needed to replace my own car Minnie, the electric blue Cooper a wreck thanks to explosives placed by the Dumont brothers.Did I have proof they blew up my car? Technically, no.Did I need it?Snort.Funny how the past flowed around me as I stood there, images of my old high-school boyfriend Brad and his big black truck, of Demetrius Strong when he was leader of the Chosen of the Light handing me pamphlets, explaining why I was evil and really had to die. Quaid on his motorcycle. I hugged myself, looked up into the gathering dark as the door eased shut behind me.I didn't have to turn around to know who stood there, unobtrusive, watching."What do you think, Charlotte?" I stayed where I was, making myself breathe, trying to keep the pressure of what I'd just learned from taking me to my knees. "Should I just cut and run?"I heard
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 614: Evading The Inevitable
Was it a bad thing I felt relief to leave the party behind as I tore open the veil and slipped through?Probably.Didn't keep me from diving into a possible adventure. In fact, as I exited the veil on the front lawn of the vampire mansion, I dutifully admitted I was happiest when I had a problem to solve. Not like it was a big shocker or anything. Quaid hit the nail on the head when he said I went looking for trouble.Well, not looking, exactly. But calm and peaceful didn't really do it for me anymore. And considering the fact every time I did fall into trouble there was an excellent reason for it with a so-far-so-good outcome, I wasn't complaining.Evasion Tactics Level: Expert.Seriously, though, I'd been very selfish letting this whole vampire silence thing ride. I loved Uncle Frank and Sunny, missed them with a pinch of regret so sharp when I thought about it I flinched. How had I let this go for so long without checking in?Life was complicated, but family was everything.A
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 615: Vampires In Peril
Gram and Shenka were in the kitchen when I stormed into the house, magic weaving around the dishes, cleaning up the mess from the party. Sassafras hissed at me as I stomped past him, barely missing his tail with my toes. He leaped onto the table to glare at me as I came to a jarring halt."Sebastian isn't clan leader anymore." Blurting random troubles was apparently my specialty.Shenka seemed surprised, but Gram didn't. In fact, she looked a little guilty before her wrinkled face fell into a frown."Tell me you didn't keep this from me." Yeah, my anger button was on a hair trigger. Had been pushed. And pushed. And pushed-"I knew." At least she didn't try to deny it. Even so, I vibrated with the need to shake her."And you thought it was a good idea to keep this little tidbit to yourself." Cold, Syd. But, well, damn it."There's nothing you can do," Gram said, faded blue eyes empty and flat. "And you had enough on your plate. Still do."That kind of crap was not going to fly wi
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 616: The Realm Under Attack
Charlotte stayed close behind me as I bolted out of the kitchen, part way into the street before I tore a hole in the veil and leaped through. I had just enough presence of mind to shield the sight from the normals on my block, barely inside the rubber membrane long enough to feel the touch of my demon grandmother's soul hovering around me before I hurtled out of the other end and into the side door of town hall.Liam met me at the basement stairs, arms engulfing me as I panted to a halt. His deep, earthy scent mixed with fabric softener and the warmth of him helped to slow my heart a little, but his own panic came through loud and clear."Come on." He turned and bounded down the stairs, me on his heels, passing through the wards. It wasn't until I grabbed Charlotte's hand and guided her through the Sidhe protections I realized Liam wasn't alone.But it wasn't the giant black hound growling softly at the entrance to the Gate room or even the still missing Sonja O'Dane I sensed. I sh
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 617: Balance Required
No sweat. This would be no sweat whatsoever. I felt myself rise both in spirit and in confidence, my mind and magic flowing upwards toward the edge of the emptiness. Creation power hummed, ready for action. I'd never felt more powerful, more in control of my abilities as I reached out through the blankness, searching for Belaisle and the source of the power draw draining the Sidhe realm.And tumbled back, falling on my ass in the dying grass as answering magic rippled over the surface of the storm and threw me off.I stared up in surprise, head ringing, body tingling with the shock of the violent recoil. Charlotte's hands grasped my arms, her human form returned now that we stood in the Unseelie realm. The monarchs of the Unseelie had no power to spare to play dress up."Thanks." I brushed at the seat of my jeans, face so tight in a frown my cheeks ached. "Well, that hurt."Odhran stood mute, watching me. His disappointment looked to be about as powerful as mine.No way I was lett
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 618: Grown Up Sister
I gaped at Meira for a minute, her demon form taking me by surprise. Not that I didn't grow up with her red-tinted skin, thick, black nails and cute little horns peeking out of her hair, but it had been a while and she was so...Mature.Being on Demonicon aged her, took her lovely, sweet features and rounded them up at least a decade, if not more. She looked as old as me, though there were eight years between us. I took her offered hand, a little surprised to see my own was still human.The dark creature at my side growled again and it was only when I looked down and met its eyes I realized "it" was a "her". Charlotte somehow crossed with me this time, her wolf form turning into an oddly reptilian and altogether vile looking, black-skinned critter with fangs like dagger blades and three jointed back legs giving her an odd squat.I reached out and touched the top of her knobby head, rough like sandpaper as her giant eyes sparked her fury. "Sorry about this," I said. "No idea how she
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 619: Love And Renewal
He started moving the moment the door closed, my demon rumbling a welcome as he entered my personal space. Ram's handsome face bent over mine, the shine of his horns catching the light from the window, wide lips welcoming me.What's a little kiss between friends?Strong hands cupped my face, his mouth covering mine, gentle but hungry at the same time. And my demon-hell, all of us-leaned into him, fingers sliding over the bare skin of his chest where his tight tunic gaped open, showing off the chiseled muscles under his red flesh.Ram tasted delicious, like honey and cinnamon and heat. I let myself relax into him, trying to picture us together.Pulled away.Sigh."What are your thoughts on an effigy?" Weak joke, but I was half serious. Like Sebastian, at least Ram wouldn't die on me. Not for a long time, anyway. Except being with me would mean giving up some of his personal safety, tying him for eternity to a statue on my plane.Not much to ask or anything.The frown pulling his
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 620: Denied Entry
The cool, dark of the basement welcomed me, Charlotte stepping out beside me into our plane. I immediately felt Gram's touch, knew she was home, felt her summon me to the kitchen.Only problem? I was aware before I finished the climb to the top of the stairs her trip with Varity didn't go as planned.Surprising how the first rays of daylight shone in the kitchen window. How easy it was to forget time moved differently both in the Sidhe realm and on Demonicon. I'd lost the entire night to my travels. Odd, I didn't feel tired, not even a little. Knowing there would likely be slim opportunity for sleep in the next day or so, I figured my unusual wakefulness was a good thing.Gram thudded the lid of the waffle maker so hard the thing bounced. Varity sat, cross-legged and clearly irritated, from the way her magic vibrated at an erratic frequency. She slumped in her seat at the kitchen table while Shenka met my eyes with a little shake of her head. Her magic set out plates and cutlery as
