Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 711: Plans Of The Brotherhood
Mom broke the conclave for a half hour to have a pavilion erected for the Brotherhood. I held my seat, eyes locked on the gaping hole where Belaisle and his people would soon emerge and struggled to keep my cool over Eva Southway's betrayal.She reached for me with her sorcery before I could decide whether Piers would still be interested in me if I murdered his mother.We'd lost anyway, she sent. And I, for one, would prefer to have Liander Belaisle in reaching distance.Except he's coming here with a plan, I shot back at her, hating she was right. And previous experience tells me whatever he has up his ugly designer sleeves will make your little attempt to corner him look like a sixty-year old pageant queen on crack.She laughed softly in my head. I've had doubts about my son's interest in you, she sent. And now I understand what he sees, what I missed. She paused. I have absolute faith you will prevail, Sydlynn Hayle. The rest of us are simply at your service.I glared at her ev
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 712: Challenger
A second gaping hole opened and Piers Southway stepped through. From the easy grin on his face, he'd managed to listen in. Alone, towering over the shorter, more slender Belaisle, he saluted the leader of the Brotherhood."I think I heard a little birdie," he said. "She mentioned something about the empty plane. How it was once the home of all sorcerers." Piers stroked his chin with one hand before winking at the now scowling leader. "Does that mean I get to pick the paint color for my new room?"A titter of laughter raced around the tent. I could feel Eva's power pushing against her son, saw the flicker of anger on her face, but cheered inside as the young Southway did what his mother refused to do.Challenged the Brotherhood."Steam Union," Belaisle almost spat at Piers's feet. "You're not sorcerers. When you're not hiding in mouse holes, you're just lapdogs of the witches."Since when did witches and the Steam Union work together?Just petty jealousy on Belaisle's part, maybe.
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 713: To The Rescue
My demon reacted well before the words Ameline spoke made it through my stunned mind. She lunged forward, taking control of me, driving my right fist toward the other witch's face.Ameline was clearly ready for my reaction, dodging to the side, though she underestimated my demon's speed. My knuckles impacted her shoulder as she twisted to the side, sending her spinning as my right foot lashed out and caught her in the ass, propelling her forward into a tree.Ameline spun, snarling, power surging."If we fight," she said, "it will attract the Enforcers. And this will be over before it began, the Brotherhood the victors. Is that what you want?""You." I cut the air with one hand, back in control as my egos boosted my fury. "Stay." I lashed at a tree, sending a vibration through it so powerful the top of the evergreen shook and swayed. "Away." A deep, rumbling tremor made Ameline stagger while Shaylee held me still. "From. My. Sister." I ended with a pulse of spirit power that took he
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 714: It's Complicated
I picked up Shenka and Sassafras on the way to see Mom. Neither of them questioned my reasoning or asked where we were going until we sat in Mom's office. And not alone. Our little group had assembled yet again, Eva Southway's sorcery blocking off the room for privacy.Because it didn't really matter at this point if the rest of the conclave knew we were talking. Belaisle's little show and Iepa's matching tell had blown the lid off everything.When I laid out the way I saw things to Mom and the others, my mother sighed and sank back into her chair."While I agree with you," she said, "what you're suggesting is complicated."Uncle Frank snorted. "That's a nice way to put it," he said. "Syd's about to start an international witch war in front of every High Council on the plane and you think it's complicated."I rolled my eyes at him. "It won't be seen as interference if it works," I said. "Margaret will be free to say so.""Wherein lies the issue at hand," Sunny said. "I don't mean
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 715: Foolish Plans
Piers walked me back to the pavilion alone. Shenka was already gone, chasing after Tallah, and Sassafras stayed with Mom. I wondered where Gram and Varity had gotten to, worry spiraling into a normal tornado of "holy crap what now" and "sigh"."I hope you think about what I said earlier," Piers said as I stopped at the entry.Huh?Oh, right. The love thing again.He bent, kissed my forehead, warm and tingling as his sorcery nuzzled against mine. It was the first time my normally hungry power blossomed and woke without trying to devour everything around it, instead accepting the touch of his magic."We make a great team," he whispered against my skin. "When you wake up, I'll be waiting." With that, he strode off into the darkness.Guys were always doing that to me, damn it. Kissing me and leaving with some stupid line for me to mull over.Jerks.The twins fluttered around Demetrius who shoveled food into his face like he hadn't eaten for a week. I gaped at him a moment before ru
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 716: The Test
If I had to sit through the creation of one more silly law, I was going to attack Applegate openly just to get the party started."Surely you agree," a portly witch with a strong Spanish accent, a coven leader from the South American territory, appealed to first her Council and then to Mom. "Adding this clause to present law will ensure the purity of witch blood."I rolled my eyes, lower lip aching from all of my irritating chewing. At least they weren't talking about the power reveal yet. Petty lawmaking could go on all day as far as I was concerned. Anything to keep the gathering from passing legislation on exposing us to normals.Mom's sigh was unheaved, but I heard it in her voice. "I understand your concern," she said while I tossed my hands in the air before I could stop myself. "And though I really do believe your worries that dogs and cats," snort, okay, it was kind of funny for all that, "will rise and try to seize power from our kind, I'm comfortable accepting your additio
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 717: Random Wins
Tried to.So. Much. Resistance. The very plane fought me, the feeling of the stronghold pushing back so powerful I gasped for air. But held on, poured everything I had into it, and more.Much more.Mom fed me magic, a living stream of it, joined almost immediately from Bindi Braylen and her people. The Australian Council Leader nodded to me scowling at her counterparts."What are you waiting for?" She stood, swaying as we pulled on her Council power. "A witch is under attack. Defend her!"They did, at last, their power joining us, though much slower than the Sidhe who leaped to assist, even Aiolainn, though I was sure only because Niamh sat beside her, hissing in her ear. The werewolves offered what they had, the soft iridescence of their power golden around the edges. And Meira, my sister, tore a hole in the veil and offered me Ahbi.Meems, no, I sent. The Node. And opening herself like this made her vulnerable to Ameline.Will be fine, she sent back. Crush him like a bug.I t
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 718: Safe, For Now
I released the others, not needing them any longer, feeling Trill linger the longest even as I shoved Ameline away from me when I felt her trying to siphon more power.The dark maji shrugged and offered a little smile like she had to try.I'd give her something to siphon.I tried not to think about the charred remains of Vasyl as Enforcers rushed forward and removed his body or the paleness of Applegate's face when Mom rushed to her and bent over her prone form.Instead, I focused on the quiet in my mind where Varity had been. Grasped for Gram's hand. Felt the old Enforcer leader's heart beat on the other side, just enough, her connection to Gram telling me she was fine.Better, was there, safe and sound, when she burst through into our plane and her energy hugged me.Awesome. Gram sank down to the bench, still clutching Sassafras. I sent her a magical kiss on the cheek before facing off with the silent, shaking and finally clued-in witches who watched in horror."Darkness is co
