Sheep Mask Chapter 1 Novels & Stories

"What do you think when you hear the others in your pack talk about what their human life was like before they were bitten?" "They aren't allowed to talk about their past," Sheep answered stiffly. "And why is that, I wonder?" I asked rhetorically. Shame filled Sheep. He had so much to deal with. I could see him trembling with all that bottled emotion. I stopped pushing. I didn't want him to blow here; I needed him to blow in front of his alpha so he could face the truth and deal with it. Sheep was so close now I knew it would happen. I put my hand on his shoulder, turning to him, giving him my undivided attention.

Never expected this to happen. "No... no! It's just…" she suddenly dropped her gaze from me. "It's just. I'm still a virgin. Please, don't get mad at me." I don't know if it was a perfect opportunity for me to burst out laughing when she almost got me on that note. A virgin wanted to have sex with me. Who on earth would sell her virginity to a person wearing a black facemask? Shit. She's fucking serious. What was this girl trying to prove? I sensed her heartbeat didn't go up or down. They were steady. And as one of my gifts as a wolf, she was fucking telling the truth.

Just as I stepped onto the rooftop, the iron door behind me snapped shut with a loud click. A shiver ran down my spine. I looked back to see Luke and Mr. Preston looking at me sinisterly. In front of me, sitting casually by the railing, was Kate, her face alight with mockery. "I can't believe you really came." Smiling in triumph, she waved a stack of papers at me. "I have your file here, Amanda. Who would've thought that you had a family history of mental illness?"

“I remember. Every time you looked at me like I was more than just a wolf. Every time you made me laugh when I wanted to scream. That’s still you.” He blinked slowly, and for the first time, tears welled in his eyes. “I don’t want to be a monster.” “Then don’t be. Fight him. From the inside. I’ll pull from here you fight from there.” He nodded. And suddenly the threads screamed And from the red sky above, a figure began to descend The Masked Alpha. “Ah,” he said, voice like ice cracking. “Little wolf. You always follow your heart straight into ruin.” “I follow it to war,” I said.

CHAPTER 115 Rose’s POV It was time. The world…my world was about to change. And I had only one chance to make it come true. Jonas opened the last layer of the case and revealed my mask. A soft gasp escaped me before I could help it. It was shaped like a cat’s face with smooth edges and slanted eyes. It was simple, elegant, and playful. For a moment, everything around me blurred. My fingers trembled as I lifted it from the velvet lining.

Theon declares, “The first one to claim her gets the prize. I think you know what to do now.” The six wolves take their masks off hesitantly. The moment my scent hits them, their eyes become dazed, and hair sprouts on their ears. Claws elongate from their hands, and they start to snarl. I get up from the ground, trying to find a way to escape. But there’s none. A barrier of henchmen surrounds me. “Mine,” One wolf says and starts to walk towards me, but his friend interrupts. “No, she’s mine!” They begin to squabble.

The girl's eyes water with tears and my heart aches at the site. "Is there a problem my Lady?" A woman in a black dress and black gloves speaks from my side. Her hair is tied in a neat bun at the back of her head, she has a pointed nose and thin lips. Her eyes have tiny wrinkles at the corners and she smiles at me but I don't smile back. The little girls go silent and I hear a them gasp, I look to them and see them all tense as the one who touched me shrinks back into her friends who slightly push her forward.

I breathed quietly. Maria suddenly stepped closer holding something in her hands. Before I could react, she carefully fastened a silver mask across my face. I blinked in surprise. The mask curved elegantly around my eyes, decorated with tiny silver stones and moon shaped patterns. “What is this?” Maria smiled. “The Alpha must find you tonight.” I stared at her blankly. “What?” She giggled softly while adjusting the mask. “At Tombstone’s anniversary ball, every unmated lady wears a mask during her first celebration.”

Finally… The word settles in my chest like the beginning of something irreversible as I reach for the mask in the front seat. And for the first time since all of this began, I step willingly into the lion’s den, ready to devour or get devoured…

His face remained hidden behind a smooth wolf mask. Raiken stopped breathing beside me. The stranger raised a sword. Its blade carried three crown marks. Wolf. Tide. Human. Shigure went pale. “That is not possible.” The masked warrior looked directly at him. When he spoke, his voice was young and cold. “You should have killed me when you had the chance.” Scene 137: Shigure's Confession The masked warrior descended the fortress steps. Each footfall sent rings through the water covering the courtyard. Shigure stood motionless.
