Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 702: Pay Attention
Shenka rushed toward me as the wild magicks threw themselves into a frenzy of fluttering, battering me with their power."What do they want?" She was calm, at least, though the faces of the other witches, from various covens, now gathered in the large center common room weren't quite so composed."I don't know." I gritted my teeth against the constant pecking of the magicks and threw out a soft net of my own power. They stilled immediately, coming to heel almost like trained creatures, though they didn't calm so much as focus.Again with the images, the shattering crystals, the broken machine. Belaisle, me, and the darkness. I clung to them, my power teasing out more information. The mirror again, cracking in the center, shattering into a multitude of shards.Why did that image tweak a memory?But which memory?The wild magicks shrieked and fled so suddenly I staggered, realizing as they disappeared through the canopy of the pavilion it wasn't they who screamed.The sound instea
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 703: Poor Mia
"We use your crystal." Mia gulped down a spoon full of soup, not even noticing the sad look on Estelle's face as she set bread beside the fallen coven leader's bone-thin hand. Once inside the pavilion, safely tucked into our area and behind wards, Mia shed the heavy cloak hiding her from me. She looked even more emaciated than before, the light showing the thin veins running under her near-transparent skin, the way her eyes sank into dark pits, two shining blue lights the only sign she was in there.I'd seen pictures of drought victims who looked healthier than Mia. Was she this thin when I saw her only yesterday? And, if so, how did I miss it?I sat back and shook my head as Sassafras crouched on the edge of the table and stared at Mia with his glowing amber eyes, tail beating a soft rhythm against the wooden top."Mia," I said, "I can't interfere.""You can." She reached for me, faster than lightning, squeezing the bones of my hand until they ground together. Her thin power crawl
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 704: Dumont Interference
I could tell from the look on Mom's face she wasn't so happy to see me. But when she realized Quaid was with me, her tension rose to a whole new level. So high, she practically shoved her aides out of the room before slamming up a shield around us and drawing a deep breath."I'm ready," she said through gritted teeth. "Hit me."Quaid did most of the talking. I was grateful, considering my traitor throat closed over, misery eating at my insides to the point I doubted I could fit two coherent words together. Sass said he and Gram instilled this sense of loyalty in me when I was a baby.Now I wished they'd just minded their own damned business.Mom sank into a chair, her anger gone as she passed a hand before her eyes while Quaid wrapped up. Far more succinctly than I could have. Her blue gaze traveled from him to me and back again while she nodded."I've been watching young Mia," Mom said. "And I suspected she might try something like this."Nice of her to tell me.You're really s
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 705: Conclave Begins
True to my expectations, I paced the night away and I wasn't alone. After a long talk with Shenka about Mia, Sassafras adding his lecture on top of hers, the three of us took turns either circling the small main room or sitting morosely staring into space.Because sleep was overrated.Breakfast turned out to be a giant affair, large tables and massive amounts of food spread out in the common areas of each pavilion. I found myself dining with a pair of witches from the Hensley coven while Tallah cornered her sister, still struggling to meet my eyes. Whatever decisions Mom had reached about the Hensley leader, I was still nervous about her particular need to expose us to normals, but even more so her contact with the supposed Steam Union.Had to remind myself to prod Piers later to see if he'd heard anything from his contacts.From the irritation on my second's face, the way she crossed her arms over her chest and refused to look at her fast-talking sibling, Shenka wasn't regretting
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 706: Day One
I fully expected the whole shebang to go kablooey at any second. I wasn't expecting, however, to die of boredom.Not right away, no. Not when Mom stood to give her welcome speech thanking the supernatural races for attending while I fumed and connived and tried to come up with a way to kick Vasyl's ugly ass without getting the werewolves in trouble.And certainly not when I finally came back to the present from a sharp prod of Sassafras's magic.You're supposed to answer her, he sent.What? Who? Nobody said there would be a test.I looked up and met Mom's eyes as she waited patiently, arm held out toward me.What the hell did I miss?Get up. Sassafras's voice grated in my head. Now.I scrambled to my feet, almost dumping him on his head, handing him off instead to Shenka. Okay, so she grabbed him from me before I could drop him. And stared at Mom, frozen.Syd, she sent. Your speech.My-Just repeat after me, my vampire sent. Welcome, most revered of all magic users, to my hu
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 707: Your Choice
I had no appetite, despite the delicious aromas floating around me. The main pavilion was now full of tables, stuffed with witches serving a variety of foods from all different cultures. I just couldn't bring myself to focus on dinner.Shenka bullied me into a long, black velvet skirt and silk blouse, my witch's uniform, the replacement pentagram necklace Mom gave me hanging around my neck. My second even put my hair up for me."Now you look the part," she said while Sassafras snorted.Didn't help Meira joined him in laughing. Charlotte, too. Nice of them to come and share in my misery, offering casual suggestions to "improve" my appearance. After the little run-in I'd had with Quaid, the last thing I wanted was to go through the dog and pony at a formal dinner."You have to go," Shenka said, Meira linking arms with me despite her height advantage, looking as stunning and scary as usual."Mom needs us there," my sister said. "Besides, I hear you're the guest of honor."Blech.At
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 708: Steam Union
I was so freaked out I didn't even think of the veil, instead running flat out with Piers beside me through the front of the large pavilion and to Mom's office.Almost colliding with Pender as he appeared in a flash of blue fire at her door.Gasping for air-I really had to start jogging again-I clutched at Pender's sleeve, heart pounding so hard in my chest I could barely think."The shards," I said as I pushed the tall Enforcer leader through Mom's door. She rushed forward, eyes locked on me as I panted and spoke again. "The mirror shards. Are they all accounted for?"Pender's frown of confusion turned to worry as he immediately fished into his robe and retrieved his. I'd seen it before, knew now there were many such shards, doorways to the Enforcer stronghold.To the place the battle between Dark and Light would be fought.I showed them both what the wild magicks had shared with me while Piers stood, silent and tense, at my side.Pender's face paled as the image of Belaisle ho
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 709: Fall Of The Stronghold
"It wasn't the conclave Belaisle was after," I whispered. "It was the stronghold."Mom cleared her throat, tried to speak. Fell still.I was such a fool. Idiot, moron. Why had I not considered this? Belaisle knew as well as I did where the last battle of ours was to be fought. And, until now, that battleground was in the hands of my allies.No longer. If I wanted to fight him, I had to go through his people first.Damn. It. All. To. Hell.And I'd been worried, the very first time I'd seen the mirror shard, when I'd been freed from the stronghold prison. Remembered thinking I should ask about the fragments, about how the mirror worked. Why didn't I say something to Mom then?As usual, my vampire sent, you are beating an undead horse.Sigh.In case you've forgotten, my demon sent, we'd just freed your mother from the Brotherhood and barely avoided being burned at the stake. We had a lot on our minds.We are all at fault if any are, Shaylee sent. Now, can we please focus on what
