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 47: Gabriel's Help

It took a bit to get through to him but as soon as I pinpointed Gabriel's remaining dark sorcery he reacted instantly, appearing through a portal he created and taking the place that Trill had occupied not so long ago. Quite the trade, from Creator who was to

Creator who had been. But I was at least used to him so my loss of brainpower wasn't an issue.

Sure it wasn't.

"Ethie." Gabriel hugged me, my eternally optimistic and amazing brother embracing me in his strong grip, the scent of fabric softener and the earth reminding me how much I missed him.

I clung back a long moment, wishing I could just leave with him. Or have him save me, find a way to break this for me, do his big brother thing and ride to my rescue. His hug deepened when I didn't let him go and I wondered if he knew where my mind was.
