Behind The Veil Novels & Stories

A tense confrontation ensued, words sharp and veiled threats hanging heavy in the damp air. Isabella stood firm, her voice clear and unwavering. “The truth belongs to all, not just to you.” One Elder stepped forward, his eyes cold. “You do not understand the power you meddle with. The Veil is not a mere artifact. It is the boundary. To cross it unprepared is to invite ruin.” Arthur’s hand found Isabella’s, a silent promise of solidarity. Together, they refused to back down. The standoff broke with a sudden, violent tremor shaking the chamber. The veil began to pulse, glowing brighter. A force beyond comprehension surged through the room — and then, darkness.

Sharona POV: Mel arrogance still lingers in the air. I resist the urge to sneer. Stepping closer, my voice dipping into something softer, something more dangerous. "The Veil of Balance is not some tale," I say, my finger tracing the ancient runes embroidered into my cloak. "It is the threshold between this world and the next, where life and death intertwine." "Okay," Mel asks crossing her arms, "what does this have to do with Alessia?" I let out a quiet laughter."Everything!"

The war should have ended. But something far older had just awakened. And somewhere in the darkness beyond the Veil… something was watching. 🌙

Grateful for any small human sound that could exist beside the note. Elaine’s tablet chimed again. She looked down. “I have preliminary enhancement on the paper edge,” she said. “There are partially printed letters at the torn side.” Daniel turned. “From what kind of document?” “Inventory or storage list.” Elaine adjusted the image. “I can make out ‘bridal,’ possibly ‘veil,’ and a number.” Leah’s heart beat hard. The veil. Not only the dress. The veil had hidden her face at the altar. The veil had allowed a lie to walk down the aisle with everyone pretending not to see what was wrong.

Then I set the phone down and got up. The sun was starting to move across the kitchen wall, catching on the edge of my discarded wedding veil on the counter. I’d brought it home last week after the final fitting. I picked it up now, ran my fingers over the delicate lace. A few days ago, I’d imagined walking down the aisle wearing it. Now it felt like someone else’s dream. Someone I used to be. In the middle of that thought, the TV in the living room flickered on. I hadn’t touched the remote. It was the news feed that auto-played sometimes when my cable restarted.

“If she’s part of me, how do I destroy her without destroying myself?” Melody didn’t answer. --- A Crack in the Veil That night, Baylee woke to a soft sound — a hum, low and pulsing, like a heartbeat beneath the floor. She slipped out of bed, following it through the silent halls. The sound led her outside, to the edge of the forest. There, the air shimmered — like heat over stone. The veil between worlds. She could see faint figures moving beyond it — silhouettes of wolves, shadows caught in endless motion. The lost ones.

“You didn’t tell her?” “She wasn’t ready.” I stepped between them. “Tell me now.” Cael met my eyes. “The Heart of the Veil is where this realm breathes. If the Riftborn corrupt, the veil collapses. Your world and ours ”.. “ will bleed together,” Auren finished grimly. A howl tore through the night. Not wolf but something else. Something hungry. Cael drew closer, his presence grounding and terrifying all at once. “Stay behind me. No matter what happens.”

“No. Whatever that was… it wasn’t the end. It was the warning.” Before she could explain, the cloaked figure appeared again—this time, closer. The air rippled as it moved, like reality itself bent around it. Lila felt Harper stir faintly inside her, like a restless animal recognizing something familiar and ancient. “You’ve touched the Veil,” the figure said, voice low and distorted. “Few ever do. Fewer still survive it. But every power you awaken draws the attention of those who dwell beyond it.” Cade frowned. “You mean there’s more of them?”

I stepped on a twig which sent shivers down my spine and almost fell, my veil fell to the floor. "Did you hear that?" I heard someone ask. I quickly grabbed my veil and hid behind a tree. A flashlight was flashed towards my direction but they couldn't see me because of the huge tree. My heart pounded in my chest when I heard the rustling of leaves coming towards me. I couldn't afford to get caught after so much effort I put into this plan. If it fell through, I might never be able to get my child out of their clutches again.
