Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 658: Wereprincess
I gaped a minute, trying to breathe, to react, something. Anything.Shenka finally beat me to it."Are you saying Charlotte is a princess?" I met her equally shocked eyes as Isabelle frowned and looked back and forth between us."You didn't know?" The young vampire shrugged. "I suppose it makes sense. Honor would keep her from doing anything to jeopardize your bond. And I'm certain, from what I've heard of you," she smiled again, just a little, "had you known of the plight of her people, you would have acted to help them."Was that hope in her voice? If so, what tie did Isabelle have to the werewolves beyond her family's past? Because no way did she have a reaction like that to ancient history.Had to be a guy involved.Yup, yup."The Moreau family is led by Oleksander, Charlotte's grandfather." Isabelle's previously still hands wrung together suddenly. "From what I've been able to discover, Charlotte returned home, only to be imprisoned by the Black Souls and their leader, the
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 659: Rescue Mission
"Before you tell me to go home," Shenka said as I turned away to the pressure of air displacement at Applegate's departure, "you can just take that and shove it."I knew this was going to be a fight. "I need you with the family," I said, aiming for reasonable and diplomatic. No use trying for bossy. Not with Shenka."You need me beside you," she snapped while Sunny joined us, Uncle Frank's smirk wiped clean as I glared at him."Listen to me." I gripped her upper arms, stared into Shenka's determined eyes. "Where do you think you'll do the most good: with the family, watching over them, or with me, unable to use magic?"Shenka's mouth opened. Closed. Her frown turned sad, still mixed with stubborn. "That's not fair.""Nope," I said. "It sure as hell isn't. But the sad fact is I have access to other magicks and you don't."She deflated. "And if I came with you, I'd be a liability." Shenka perked briefly. "But Applegate didn't order me not to use magic."Sophistry and we both knew
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 660: Escort
So much for sneaking in, grabbing Charlotte from the clutches of her captors, and sneaking out again. Instead, I was forced to allow Finlay to handle transportation, his Enforcer magic cradling both Isabelle and myself along with his partner."You don't have to come." I wanted to give the vampire girl an out since she looked almost sick at the prospect of joining me. But she shook her head immediately."I won't let you go alone," she said. "I know how they think and might be useful." Her hesitation told me there was a lot more she wasn't saying and I refused to go into this without all the information I needed.I pulled her aside, glaring at the pair of witches to back off a second, which they did. I heard Sunny engage them in conversation, though what she talked about was lost to me as I focused on Isabelle."So this is going to be bad, then?" There was no other explanation for her reaction."I'm afraid so," she said. "The Czar might allow you to enter. But he considers himself a
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 661: Official Visit
I would have preferred to walk, on principle, but, frankly, felt happy for the ride in the warm back of the big, black SUV arriving only a moment after the gates swung open. I ignored the show of power Vasyl brought with him, the line of wereguards turning with trained precision to follow my every move. At least the muzzles of their guns were lowered. Well, half lowered.Either this was their usual or I scared the bejeebuz out of them.I chose to think the latter.The heavy door thudded shut behind me, warmth enveloping me as the blast of heat from the leather seat radiated upward into my freezing behind. I almost snarled at the loss of precious heat as the door behind me opened, Gwendolyn slipping inside with Finlay next to her. Isabelle didn't give Vasyl a chance to sit next to me in the second row, firmly closing her door on his face. I caught enough of his scowl through the black tinted glass I worried he'd seen through her glamour though Shaylee calmly informed me all was well
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 662: So-Called Czar
More elaborate decorating greeted me, the giant throne room's ceiling arching overhead with painted murals of battle scenes and old kings and queens. The cream marble floor gleamed on either side of the continuing carpet. Talk about an arrow shot to the seat of power. Any dummy could find Yure Danko.Just follow the purple shag road.I didn't hurry. Needed time to assess the situation anyway. Not only that, I wanted the so-called Czar to sweat out my approach. He watched me, or I assumed it was he, from a massive gold throne at the other end of the room. A line of werewolves stood on either side of the carpet, their sullen wolf energy making my skin crawl. Worse was the emptiness as a handful of sorcerers from the Czar's sect joined them. I kept my eyes fixed on Yure while my alter egos explored the room for me, filtering information while I maintained my steady, casual pace.There are too many to fight, Shaylee sent. But a quake would even the odds.Agreed. My vampire sighed. I be
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 663: Broken Bonds
She looked fine, at least physically, as she approached with her head down, held firmly between two of her fellow weres, the males towering over her. Her long, blonde hair had been cut to her shoulders, her normal leather jacket and skinny jeans replaced by a rather frumpy dress. Just seeing Charlotte in a skirt made me wince. Even when she'd accompanied me to the court of the vampire queens, she'd refused to wear one. Whatever Yure had done to her had to be nasty if she willingly wore all that ugly pink satin and ruffled lace.Charlotte didn't look up, hands clasped before her, bound with heavy cuffs. A choker of the same metal hugged her neck. She looked so weak, frail, compared to the powerful, stoic girl I knew, I wanted to reach for her, but I held off, looking up to glare at Yure as she was pulled up the first step to stand with her back to him.He giggled in evil glee, reaching out to prod Charlotte between the shoulder blades with the toe of his boot. Well, tried to. I hit hi
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 664: Pinned Down
I fumed as I paced the suite of rooms I'd been assigned, arguing with myself. I could have done more to escape this predicament. How had I gone from rescuing Charlotte-easy peasy in and outsie-to being pinned down by a pair of European stalkers in an ancient hotel in the outback of the Ukraine?So much grief in so little time. I really should have been used to being imprisoned in fancy quarters. Happened pretty frequently. But this time, I was here by choice.Okay, not really. I had put my foot down when Finlay tried to deliver me back home, taking a firm hold on his power and forcing him to put us down outside the gates to Yure's territory. For the first time, I saw the young Enforcer's temper flare, but I didn't really give a damn what he thought.Thanks to him, Charlotte was still back there. And now I knew her fate, no way was I leaving her in Yure's clutches. Not when the girl I knew was so broken she couldn't even fight to protect herself."I'm going back in there," I snarled
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 665: Kidnapped
I came out of the dark as angry as I went in. It felt like swimming to the surface of a boiling lake, freezing cold beneath, flaming hot at the top. My demon practically leaped from my body when we surfaced into consciousness, pulling me upright, amber fire scorching the air around me.Surrounded, blackness everywhere, the hum of werewolf energy, the pooling dark of sorcery. Yure Danko obviously had more he wanted to say to me.And I had so much more to tell him. Though I would let my actions speak.Let's see what a long, painful death did for his sense of godhood."Please, wait." My eyes tried to focus, heart pounding in time with my demon's pants, my vampire's hissing loud in my head even as the ground beneath me rumbled, Shaylee sharing her unhappiness. "We're not your enemies."What a load of-Hang on. No one attacked. In fact, I felt magic retreating. No way would the so-called Czar and his people give me the chance to get my feet under me, to shake the delirium of the black
