Sophia's POV

"Mother, I have good news. The one whom we have searched for so long is now within our reach." I announced to my mother in the comfort of my chambers with the door tightly bolted. I couldn't afford any more mistakes like what happened the last time.

"Why do you say so?" She asked me, her eyes piqued in curiosity.

"One of the elders told Leo that there was a woman who could tell him where the silver wolf was" I announced and watched the light in her eyes brighten.

"So when are you going there? We are closer to our quest now." She asked me, her voice filled with anticipation. I could feel the pride in her voice when she spoke to me, it had a tone of a newfound respect, one that I had lost when I failed to realise that Lady Willow was already onto me.

"Leo has gone to Lady Willow's mansion to sort out everything relating to her staff and business. Once he is back, we will go together. Even though I fear that he is different now, he still includes me in all that he does"

  • Veil Of Destiny   77: Over the Seas

    Maria's POV I didn't know why I ran away, I was too overwhelmed with everything going on and soon enough, I was beginning to feel that my chest was tightening. Nathan had wanted to follow me but I could hear the low growl of Elvira keeping everyone in place. A few minutes later, I heard the leaves behind me rustling a little. I turned to find Elijah behind me. Drawing in a deep breath, I pulled myself together before he even got to me. "I'm sorry about Nathan. He told me that he would behave himself before we got there" Elijah said before he sat down beside me on the edge of a rock beside the clinic. "It's fine. I just hated being the centre of the conversation. It really makes me too self-conscious and I wasn't prepared to be at the time" I answered curtly without bothering to look at him, even though I could feel his eyes on my body. "How do you feel today? Maria mentioned to me in confidence that you are having nightmares. Do you want to talk about it with me?" He asked me, hi

  • Veil Of Destiny   76: Dire need for Redemption

    Maria's POV I woke up sweating profusely, it felt like I had someone's hands pressed tightly to my face and blocking my air flow. The room came to me slowly and I recognised that I was no longer in my house but I was at Elvira's. I had one of the strangest dreams as I had never dreamt about these two together before. "Are you okay? I could hear you mumbling in your sleep?" I heard Elvira's voice from the doorway and looked. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep." I quickly apologised as she made her way towards me, a bottle of water in her hand. She handed the bottle to me when she got to me and I took it from her calmly, taking a few sips before closing the bottle and setting it aside on the table. "You don't have to apologise. I'll give you some medication tomorrow, it should help you sleep better. Maybe it's the bad sleeping routine that is making you see things that are not there" she said as she sat down beside me. "I don't know. I guess I am open to trying out jus

  • Veil Of Destiny   74: The Wolf's Star

    Leo's POV "This is beyond us, no one has heard anything about the silver wolf" one of the elders whispered to me as we made our way out of the palace. "How did you know about that?" I demanded, knowing that I had struggled to keep the information under wraps. "Even the walls have ears, your majesty. If you are looking to find the silver wolf, you must be prepared to join the line. For several years, a lot of people have searched for the wolf, but not one of them has succeeded." He said and I had a feeling that he knew a lot more than he was letting on."So how do you think I should go about my search?" I asked him. "There is one who can summon the wolf. If you find the wolf summoner, you have found the silver wolf" he said, his eyes gleaming with pride. "Alright. How do I find the wolf summoner?" I asked him. "Rumors have it that above the mountains, in between the waters, you will find a shadow lurking" he answered but I was even more confused than I had been. "What do you mea

  • Veil Of Destiny   73: Through it all

    Maria's POV "And you are sure about what you saw?" Elijah asked me and I nodded my head. "I think we should move her somewhere else. Keep it away from everyone for a while and see what happens. I have tried to tell her that it is nothing but as you can see, that has not worked" Elvira said as she unwrapped the apparatus for checking my heart rate from my arm. "Guys, I'm serious. I know what I saw, but it's fine. I don't mind changing my house at this point. It is beginning to hold a lot of memories that I am not willing to keep." I added tiredly. "I'll have you moved before night falls. Just take your personal items," Elijah said, and I nodded my head. The two of them left me after fawning over me for another hour. I was tired and all I wanted to do was to have a quick nap. I had a slow breakfast and a quick bath, wanting to sleep as soon as I could before I started packing my things. Suddenly I felt it, a strange presence in the room that immediately made me have chills. I stoo

  • Veil Of Destiny   72: An Unravelling Plot

    Maria's POV I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today. Alexia had not come back to the house to even get her things, but I knew that this bad feeling was not coming from there. Something else that wasn't pleasant was going to happen and I instantly lost my peace, letting the panic take over. The knock on my door shook me to my marrow as I nearly passed out from the shock. I pulled myself together and went to the door, not even bothering to check through the peephole. I gasped when I saw Nathan standing in front of the house, a gaping wound with blood pouring down his shoulder. "What happened to you?" I asked, my voice breathless and the amount of blood making me feel nauseated. "Please help me." He begged, his voice weakened from the blood loss. I knew that if I didn't do anything immediately, he might lose his life. I decided to just administer first aid. "Come inside," I said and double-checked after him to make sure that he wasn't being followed by his attac
