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
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 719: Sorcerer Downfall
"This could be very bad," I said as I sank into the chair across from Mom. "You realize this will probably blow up in our faces."My sister snorted as she reclined in another chair, huge platform boot bobbing on the other end of her crossed knee. "I don't see how the downfall of the Brotherhood is that big of a deal."Mom sighed. "It's not the Brotherhood we have to worry about," she said as her eyes tightened. "I'm all for wiping their asses from every plane permanently."Vicious."But it's not the guilty who I'm concerned for," Mom said. "We've effectively passed a law allowing witches and the other races to kill anyone they even suspect might be Brotherhood."Eva Southway squirmed in her seat, skin drawn and pale, both eyes ringed in black as though the power of the Brotherhood punched her in the face. At least she was alive after the backlash of Piers's attack knocked out her and her sorcerers. "My people will be at risk," she said. Sounded very unhappy, not that I blamed her.
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 720: Husband Material
I left them to hash it out, no longer feeling like they needed me. Mom would fill me in later and I really needed to just get out of there, catch some air.The giant central tent was already being disassembled, the walls on one side coming down. I skirted a group of witches folding and compressing the fabric into small squares which then vanished in pops of blue fire.Time to go home and sort through what happened here. Make a plan.Or curl up in a ball in my jammies with a carton of ice cream and a funny movie.Perfect.Except perfect wasn't about to let me have my retreat moment. At least, not yet. Not when I was cut off as I strode for my pavilion, wondering if Shenka had finished packing up yet.Trill grabbed me, pulled me into a fierce embrace. "Thought we lost there for a minute," she whispered.I grinned at her brothers, as Owen came to hug me. He'd grown a lot, as tall as I was, now, at height with Apollo. I released the younger Zornov and accepted a kiss from the older
Hayle Coven Novels Chapter 721: Commitments
Endings can be bitter or sweet. I chose sweet.Though the stronghold remained in the hands of the Brotherhood, that was all they managed to hold. I had no idea what kind of friends Piers hung out with, but the term "hacker" seemed to fit.How did I know? Coterie Industries took a nose dive only weeks after conclave ended and, from what I could tell, was about to collapse altogether under allegations of fraud and deception.The other Councils kept Mom-and through her, me-in gleeful information, mostly about the uncovering of Brotherhood members scattered through all territories. I had no doubt, with the loss of Mom not so long ago, Belaisle planned to infiltrate another Council to balance his hold on Applegate.Now he wouldn't get the chance.Most of the fleeing Brotherhood members did manage to escape, though, from the sick look on Mom's face the time or two I was present when she received mental updates, I didn't want to know what the witches did to the sorcerers they managed to
