Novel & Cerita High Rise Invasion Masks Characters

Mine was a delicate silver filigree that covered the top half of my face. The doors to the hall swung open, revealing a row of waiting Alphas as they stood. They were all dressed in black suits and wearing golden masks. The power in the room was suffocating. These were men who ruled entire territories, and they were looking at us like we were a buffet. I struggled to keep my face a mask of indifference. Beside me, Nicole didn't even try to look pleasant; she had a permanent scowl firmly in place, her arms crossed over her chest.

Each attendee is directed to select a mask from the counters, setting the stage for an evening of mystery and style. Emma, in harmony with her dress, opts for a captivating red mask adorned with a long black feather cascading down its left side. The mask, veiling almost her entire face, adds an intriguing aura, yet her distinctive emerald eyes remain an unmistakable identifier for those attempting to distinguish her amidst the masked crowd.

/ [Awww… I forgot about that…] Later that night, instead of returning to the bunk, everyone took their ventilation masks, then headed towards the military gates. “Masks on!” The order rang throughout the holding area. Angie wore the mask that covered half of her face and was a snug fit. It felt like she was wearing diving goggles, except that this was made for the bottom half of the face. Even the appearance reminded her of it. A transparent plastic was used so that one’s mouth could still be seen. Once the gatekeepers made sure that everyone had their masks on, they opened the gates. Ash and dust instantly blew into the holding area. The air stank like rubbish that was abandoned for months.

I snap back, just as the door swings fully open. The man in front steps inside, holding a cattle prod, its metal tip gleaming ominously. He moves just enough to allow another man to enter, who silently sets a jug of water down on the rickety table before turning to leave. “Wait!” I shout, my voice sharp and urgent. The men pause, glancing back. “We will negotiate. What do you want?” I ask, trying to keep my tone calm despite the tension in the air. The man at the front turns his masked face toward me. His expression is hidden, but his posture radiates control. “We want nothing,” he says, his voice distorted, processed through some kind of modulator. It’s deliberate—a calculated move to ensur

BOOK TWO: THE IRON BRIDGES (Jace’s Perspective) The cobblestone street vibrated beneath the synchronized march of the Imperial Consulate. Through the grimy window of the customs house, I watched the crowd of newly awakened humans instinctively press themselves against the brick facades of the avenue. They were terrified. The black-iron masks of the elite enforcers were designed to completely strip away any trace of human expression. They were not men; they were the immune system of the Iron Hive, and they had come to purge a localized infection.

Ruby's gaze was glued to the screen, her body shaking as if she had seen a ghost. "You don't have to sign," I said, my voice a chilling whisper. "But if you don't, this unedited, crystal-clear video will be tomorrow's sensation, plastered over every news site. I'll even send a copy to your parents, all your relatives, friends, and colleagues. "Think you'll see a dime of that settlement then? Think you'll have the dignity to walk this earth?"

Vexana Jones made sure everyone noticed the luxury watch on her wrist. Cassandra Carter talked about her wealthy husband, who doted on her. Rebecca Jenkins sat there in black-rimmed glasses with the bookish air of a math teacher. They weren't just showing off. They also kept finding ways to get my number. After all, no one expected that the girl who used to be nothing, the girl with that blunt bob haircut back then, would show up driving a Rolls-Royce.

She opened it and put her mask on. "Come on, Philip! We must not be left behind," Arai tied her tiger-striped mask. Meanwhile, on the anonymous club party floor filled with nobles, the rich and other influential people wearing masks stopped what they were doing when they saw Harriet and Liam enter the room. Even the music also stopped–

Their dressing was familiar and I had a short flashback to the ball at Kiara's school "My daughter is in the theater and vulnerable at the moment, how can you be under attack?!" Silas yelled in anger and immediately, the door of the clinic flung open. They were six of them and they wearing gas masks. They must have decapitated the guards using silver dust too. "Who are you? What do you want?" I asked, taking a defensive stance in front of them. I watched as the one standing in the middle reached for his mask and he slowly pulled it off.

Her people found her disgusting because of her scar and would look away at her arrival and some would avoid her entirely but the one person who had kissed her and smiled at her even while looking into her eyes, not once paying attention to the mask on the one side of her face. How could she have let him break down her walls, Marshall had abducted her and locked her up in here. He probably glared at her when she wasn't looking and washed up after being with her. Yes, he probably believed she was ugly behind her mask after all she was not his mate but he held her close at night and whispered fake words of love to her, fooled her good and she fell so hard for it. Blinded her with false love and
