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 105: Transmutation Unlimited

He wasn't out for long, Mom's power supported him, easing him into an empty chair, everyone else staring when his eyes fluttered, opened, a giant lungful of air gasped before he leaned forward, hands flat on the table as he stared into my eyes in shock and, wait. Was that?

Regret. Whoops. My skill for screwing up and doing the opposite of what was actually required or wanted made itself known in a rather spectacular fashion. Still, I couldn't bring myself to feel badly about it. I just gave him the power to transform himself. He could be a little grateful.

Once he realized the gift I'd granted, maybe. This whole dark sorcery thing was harshing my empathy toward other people's feelings like whoa.

"It's okay," I said, wishing then I had asked if he'd even wanted the ability to be human before showing him, sharing with him, what Henry proved to me was true. "You can be him again any time you like." The black dog he was so used to lurked within him, waiting and willing.
