Novel & Cerita Born With The Veil

Jamie rolls his eyes. “Let’s go, then? I have the car ready,” Jamie says jovially. “Yes…oh no wait, there’s one more thing left,” Vi interjects, her eyes widening. “Now what?” Jamie almost whines. Vi dashes back to her room as fast as her five-inch stilettos would allow. Soon she is returning with another package in her hand. Furrow my eyebrows. “What is that?” I ask as she rips open the package. “A veil. I forgot to put it on.” My eyes widen at the beautiful veil in her hand.

’’ she asked. So I waved my hand in the air and a dark mist started at her feet, slowly raising ‘’What's happening?!!!’’ she panicked. ‘’It's okay. It's just my transformation magic’’ I explained. It whirled around for a few minutes before it dispersed and she stood before me and was dressed in a pretty flower sundress that stopped mid-thigh showing off her world-class legs and creamy skin free of the bruises that marred her skin earlier to finish the look she had on black slippers. She looked perfect.

The veil held the promise of untold knowledge, of answers to the questions that had haunted them throughout their journey. Valen's voice was a whisper, filled with both caution and curiosity. "This is the Veil of Temporal Convergence—an ancient artifact that holds the key to unraveling the mysteries of time."

he invites, his tone laced with a calm authority. For a brief moment, she hesitates, the weight of uncertainty hanging in the air between them. But then, drawn by an inexplicable trust, she places her hand into his, feeling the warmth of his grip as he gently guides her out. The world around them is alive with the sweet whispers of nature, the faint floral scent wrapping around her like a delicate shawl. Yet, before she can fully take in the vibrant hues of the blooming landscape, he produces a silky blindfold from his pocket.

It hadn't been easy to convince my men about the failed marriage; I didn't need another one. When the double doors opened, I held my breath. I was at the top of the food chain, but I also had my insecurities. But a few seconds later, I saw her. She was completely covered in white, symbolizing her status as an immaculate virgin. Lais walked towards me, arm in arm with her father, who had already given her to me when she was still a girl. The veil covering her face was thin enough for me to see the face of an angel through it and be certain it was her.

"What are you talking about?" Edras took a step closer, his voice lowering as though afraid of being overheard. "The veil was not merely a barrier; it was a seal—a lock keeping something far greater at bay. By breaking it, you’ve awakened an ancient force, one that seeks to reclaim its dominion over both the living and the dead." The crowd murmured uneasily, and Kael’s grip on his sword tightened. "You’re saying this is her fault? She didn’t ask for any of this!"

If he had finally gotten back his wife, his love and the mother of his daughter, then what about her, her love and their child, which was breathing inside her? What about Eizlina? If for him, she had always been just the veil of his first love, Ivara? What about her love, if she had always been The Veil Of Sinner?

She sits beside me, her body half-shadow, half-flame. "Rhea… this time, you’re not meant to just survive. You’re meant to awaken her." I blink. "Her?" "The one born in you. The force sealed at your first death. The Queen of the Veiled Flame." My heart stutters. "But what if I’m not ready?" Nyrielle smiles, a little sad. "The Veil doesn’t wait for readiness. It waits for truth." And I finally understand that what I carry inside me isn’t just history.

Jesus. The veil scene. The fucking veil scene. He's coming on it, using it to gag her. It’s the ultimate blasphemy. That symbol of modesty, of being unveiled for one man, turned into a tool for her degradation by another. It’s so profoundly wrong. And reading it, part of me, a deep, hidden, furious part, felt a jolt of electric recognition. The ultimate transgression.

“It would have worked.” She opens her eyes then, fully awake. “That’s why it matters that you didn’t.” I press my forehead to hers. “What if someday I do?” “Then we deal with it,” she says simply. “Together. With others. You don’t get to be alone anymore, remember?” The fear eases—not gone, but manageable. Limits. — Two weeks later, a child is born during a minor Veil fluctuation. That would have been impossible before. The healers panic. The anchors strain. Someone sends for me automatically—habit older than hope.
