Veil Mask の小説・ストーリー

In the rigid hierarchy of werewolf society, Natalie Silverstone exists as a ghost in her own pack house. Locked away, abused, and treated as less than nothing by her uncle's family for ten years, she survives by hiding her true rebellious nature behind a mask of meek obedience. "There's no doubt I'm a good girl," she said mockingly, and so did everyone who knew her. When a chance encounter at a mating ceremony brings her face-to-face with Florian Nightshade, the powerful second son of the Northern Territory's most dominant Alpha family, neither expects how drastically their lives will change. "Do you have a mate? Want to have sex if you don't?" Natalie made the invitation first, then all but disappeared from Florian's sight like a ghost. "Natalie Silverstone, what a name." Florian muttered a chilling laugh when he finally realized who she was. His amber eyes sparkled with determination, vowing to find her again. But nothing is simple in the dangerous world of wolf pack politics, especially when the Nightshade family faces its own power struggle. Will their unconventional relationship bring about mutual redemption or mutual destruction?

Sheila and Kane had been together for five years. For half a decade, she believed the only reason he wouldn't marry her was that he was too poor. To build a future for them, she worked herself to the bone, saving every penny just to afford a home of their own. That was until she discovered his secret: Kane was no pauper. He was the "Crown Prince" of a corporate empire, adored by everyone. The only "hardship" he had ever endured was eating instant noodles with her and wearing the "cheap rags" she had scraped together her savings to buy for him. He refused to marry her for one reason only: she wasn't high-born enough to match his status. Sheila cut ties decisively. But after the breakup, a twist of fate led her into the bed of her boss, Killian Ford. Everyone believed Killian was a cold, abstinent man who kept women at arm's length. Only Sheila knew the truth—behind that stoic mask was a cunning, possessive man with a hidden, scorching passion. Night after night of relentless obsession... Sheila finally realized that the longest game she had ever played, and the deepest trap she had ever fallen into, was the one Killian had set for her.

Ashlaine Selenne Soriano never expected that a single night with a stranger would unravel the calm, orderly life she built for herself. Independent, composed, and focused on her career as an interior designer, Ash never thought she’d get entangled with someone as mysterious as Zayne Valentino Velarde. By day, Zayne or let's say Zarck appears to be nothing more than Kaia’s nerdy, clumsy officemate—sweet, harmless, and a little too good to be true. But when with Ashlaine, his mask slips, revealing a darker, more possessive side that Ashlaine can’t seem to resist. What started as a one-time encounter quickly spirals into stolen nights, hidden glances, and a dangerous attraction that leaves Ashlaine breathless—and sometimes barely able to walk away. Yet behind Zayne’s smirk and secret touches lies a truth far more dangerous than either of them can handle. Because Zayne isn’t just a man chasing desire. He’s a leader in the shadows, living a double life, and Ashlaine has unknowingly stepped right into the center of it all. Now, between love, lust, and looming danger, Ashlaine must decide: will she run from the chaos Zayne brings, or surrender to the fire that consumes them both?

They said I was beautiful — but not real. That my smile was perfect — but my past made me broken.

I’m here to become the woman I was always meant to be — unedited, unafraid, and finally, completely seen. I was more than pretty. This time, I’ll live like I believe it.
