All Chapters of Different Breed of Witch: A Saraid Maddox Novel: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

We had all sat down to discuss strategy now that it had been decided that I would fight for my claim over the Celtic Coven. Jameson made a call to the other members of the guard who remained unassigned and ordered them to come to us immediately. They would arrive tomorrow, and Jameson would gather them all and introduce me."So basically, you want me to give them a speech?" I asked Jameson.He gave me a slight nod of his head before he replied. "Yes. Then I will give the battle orders."Battle orders? I didn't want that for them."I appreciate everything Jameson. I really do but please do not order them to fight this time. If they stand with me, I want it to be their choice or else I would be no better than Lillian or Ava."He seemed to be thinking about my comments. "Is' never been done that way before, but I can see why ye want it done that way," he smiled, "I will honor your wishes."Guinivere had made a statement that she didn't think it would make

The battle began as soon as the three of us entered the circle. Each of the three men were determined to eliminate my partners before taking me on. It was a good strategy since they knew from our meeting that Liam and I were stronger together. I jumped into the line against Liam just in time. I blocked the man's blow with the back of my arm and my opposite fist connected with his face. Liam and I turned our backs to each other and pivoted so we could see our attackers from all sides. While we were taking on the one, I looked over and saw that two had been trying to beat Jax.I pushed my magic out towards Jax and levitated him just high enough to miss the blade that was meant for the back of his thighs. Jax managed to land a kick to the side of the head of the man in front of him knocking him outside of the circle. I quickly released him from his levitation, so he could take on his remaining attacker.I heard a loud thud and pop before my vision swam. Balls of light were da

"I think we should squeeze some training in before the wedding," Jameson suggested to the crowd of people joined in the surveillance room. Sounds of agreement echoed around the room."Saraid has not been feeling herself today so I think it best if she and I sit this one out, so she can nap."Jameson nodded and replied, "I was hoping to spar with you again old friend. Are you sure Saraid cannot push through?""You go ahead. I will just catch a nap here on the sofa. I'll be close should anything happen," I said."Just make sure you get back here in time."He knew what I meant. What we were doing left me vulnerable."Are you sure? I don't mind staying with you," he added for affect. I smiled and kissed his cheek."You go have fun. I will be here when you get back."The trap had been set. The men and women headed to the back yard as I grabbed a throw blanket from the recliner and curled up on the sofa. I felt completely vulnerable because the only

I was feeling lost and alone which was ironic considering I was in a mansion full of supernatural beings who have been scurrying about in a hurry to do nothing. It's been two days since we landed in Dublin and so far, we have managed to do nothing but grow in volume. The growth in our numbers was a good thing but if we were going to save Liam, which is what we were here for then we were going to have to move faster.I had been plagued by nightmares that I can no longer blame on Greta since she is now dead. These nightmares stem from the very real fear of finally taking my stand against Lillian to find Liam dead and leaving me to raise our child on my own. Then of course the one of me transforming into a tiger and eating my child. That one shook me to the core. "What the hell is wrong with me?"Releasing me from the torture of my own morbid fears was Jax. He came to stand beside me and wrapped his arm around the width of my shoulders."I think you will be rather impres

Ireland is beautiful. I’m told it remains beautiful all year long. Moving to Dublin had been a big adjustment for me and a rough one, with me being pregnant and all. Thankfully, I didn’t have to go through any of it alone. Liam had been a great help, Chase too. Now that my Aunt Lillian and my Mother Ava were gone, the members of the Celtic Coven seemed to be more at ease and dare I say it, happier. Most seemed to approve of my desire to create separate governing for each supernatural species in our area. I may have been destined to be the Queen of the coven and the leader of the Guardians but ruling over all of the supernatural beings in Ireland was too big of a task for me alone. Of course, I hadn’t been named the Queen yet. Much like a coronation the coven holds a formal ceremony called an Ascension Ceremony, where Liam and I were to be crowned the King and Queen of the Coven. The coven had never had a King before, only Queens, but I made it part of my demands th
