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 75: Cable And Iso

It didn't take Cable and Iso long to join me, though I emerged in the corridor from the kid's room just as they were opening the door. Instead of letting the already troubled transmuted latents overhear what likely would just upset them-I knew it was going to upset me and I was kind of free-I instead led the pair upstairs to my quarters.

Why wasn't it surprising to find Piers standing at my door, arms crossed over his chest, faint frown on his face, Damon and Stella lurking nearby? I didn't argue since this was his place, after all, and actually welcomed the addition of my ancestral sortauncle and his creepy girlfriend to the conversation. At least they weren't so biased against those my family clearly underestimated and maybe they'd balance out Piers if he chose to take Mom's side.

Because, as much as I knew he adored me, he'd take Mom's side. This was, after all, Piers Southway we were talking about.
