Hayle Coven Inheritance

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. The Challenge “Jagger Santos,” Coradine said, voice singsong and trying to be endearing while I gagged a little over her cutsie attempt to be coy. So gross. “This is the one I was telling you about.” He didn’t look at her, his hunger for the fight apparent. “Ethie Hayle,” he said, deep voice full of daggers. “I’ve been looking forward to this.” I could have said no. Just turned on my heel and left, walked away, got the hell out of there. Should have. It was one thing to fight my own coven for “fun” occasionally. A way to let off steam, to expend some of my pent up anger in a reasonably safe way that ensured if they didn’t like me, they at least stayed out of my way. But a witch from another territory? The Santos coven wasn’t exactly on GreatGram’s favorite list, either. This could only end badly. Ethie Hayle has spent her whole life sheltered by the coven, her powerful family and the fear that an unknown enemy could, at any moment, leap out of the veil and hurt her. Talk about smothering when all she wants is to have the freedoms her oh-so-special brother, Gabriel, seems to take for granted. But when a strange woman appears and offers her a gift, Ethie discovers the concerns her mother and great-grandmother have harbored aren’t all that ridiculous after all and that there are powers in the Universe she can’t imagine…

Chapter 71: Missing

I was expecting Nanna, naturally. And probably Poppa. Her demon mate/love of her life/now mortal and my darling grandfather was top of the list for attendance in family meetings, at least as far as I was concerned. I figured maybe GreatGram might make herself known, though she'd been busy, off chasing Viviana with her task force, Enforcer power reinstated. I'd never really given much thought to how that had to hurt my dad. After all, he'd been removed from the Enforcer order after he killed the former Hensley coven leader, Tallah, just seconds after she murdered his mentor, Varity Rhodes. Of course I remembered it happening, not the details of the attack, but being told Dad wasn't an Enforcer anymore. He'd been released from prison, stripped of his status, though he stood at Nanna's side with full elemental magic at his disposal, so who lost in that scenario?

Still. I knew how much he'd loved being an Enforcer. Had to rankle.
