Veil Over Eyes Novels & Stories

“On my desk?” “You will survive.” Julian murmured, “Unclear.” Mrs. Turner ignored him. “A veil can hide a bride in several ways. Some acceptable. Some not.” Leah looked at the fabric, and her body immediately remembered standing in the church. The samples were harmless. Her pulse did not care. It beat too fast anyway. Mrs. Turner lifted a piece of fine netting. “Ordinary veil. Light. Transparent enough for a face to be seen if close.” She layered a second piece over it. “Double it, and details soften. Eyes, cheekbones, mouth. From a distance, the face becomes suggestion.”

" So do you see like, just black? or do you see purple like your eyes" "Nope, I see, nothing". " How does that feel like?". "Use one hand to close one eye, don't shut your eyes close, just use that one hand to cover it, and try looking at me, the one that's open sees me but the one eye covered sees nothing". She gasps "Woah, you're right, must be scary". "Nah... I'm used to it". Jesse's mum clears her throat " Jessica, don't ask such questions, that's rude, and Violet, you should know better than to speak while we are at the table eating, now let's just focus on our meal". Jessica and I chorused "Yes mother"

A sudden tears, fallen out from my eyes as I saw blood in my beautiful silky hands. B-blood I again touch my head, only to find out a piece of expensive cloth wrapped around my head, when I reach for a nearby mirror to check in.... It looks like, nobody treat it time to time because of the blood that is seen visibly from the outside and also..... What is up with this veil... It didn't suffocate me but I feel uncomfortable to it, I didn't even see my face fully because my nose is covered with the veil too, well frankly I still is beautiful even though my face is covered with this veil. Along with this.... I gaze my whole body at the royal human mirror and spin my body around.

I hold her gaze. “Enough that if humans saw all of us—really saw us—it wouldn’t stay quiet.” Her expression shifts. Understanding starts to creep in. “The Veil doesn’t just hide us,” I continue. “It controls exposure. It limits what humans can process, what they notice, what they remember.” Barric nods once. “Without it, we lose that control.” “And with numbers like ours?” I add. “Living among billions of humans?” My wolf’s voice drops to a dark whisper. They would see everything.

"Then hurry up, Mina. Put the pins in my hair. I'm already tired of the process." The old woman stared at me for a long, heavy moment. She searched my eyes for any trace of hesitation. Finding none, she simply nodded her head once. She walked over, picked up a dark, sheer piece of heavy mesh, and prepared the final step. She draped the dark veil directly over my head. The world instantly went dim. The thick mesh fell over my face, completely obscuring my vision. I could only see vague shapes and the blurred floor in front of my boots.

Now, as the night fell, she checked the door and found a familiar package. Inside was a familiar black blindfold. But there was also an unmarked bottle of some kind of eyedrops. Elena's phone rang—Max. "I wanted to give you a new option," he explained. "The eyedrops will temporarily obscure your vision—you can still make out shapes and colors, just not any details. You don't have to use them though—that's why there's still the blindfold." Elena examined the bottle closer. It looked safe enough. "Let's try something new," Elena said. To her great surprise, she decided to use them—putting a drop in each eye.

Everything about her appearance was designed for maximum impact. She was the kind of woman who turned heads just by stepping into a room, the kind whose presence made others sit up straighter. And right now, she had a rough idea, a very rough idea, why she was here. Vanessa removed her sunglasses with a classiness that needed to be studied, revealing her shade of brown Hawthorne eyes. Her assessing gaze flicked from Zander to Kallista. A soft smirk played on her lips, but there was nothing warm about it.

Her eyes glanced fearfully at the mark on her kitchen table. The blue candles, there were nine of them neatly placed and arranged beautifully in a semicircle on the kitchen table, the dim light contrasting against the pitch black kitchen room. Then as if suddenly emerging from the dark shadow behind her, strong fingers suddenly touched her neck from behind, soft and calm. Valerie choked up, but couldn't revolt, in the end all she could do was close her eyes. *** Without any resistance which meant that Valerie's body was limp in his arms, there was intense pain and shock there. Valerie's wide eyes said so. Until a few seconds later, Valerie's eyes lost their light, closed weakly, leaving a da

“Tell me what’s wrong.” Ael’s violet-blue eye flickered like a storm. He looked measured, careful, like he was deciding how much I could handle. “There’s something hidden… deep within the forbidden. Within the veil,” he said slowly. “It’s strong… and evil. A crack has been torn in the veil.”

I hold my breath, concentrate on the soft brush of the veil against my lashes. Thank God for the veil. Thank God he can't see my face. I'm acutely aware of the heat rising under my skin, of the faint tremor in my hands that I fight to still. Please let this have passed unnoticed, I think, the plea rising unbidden and desperate. Please let this moment already be over, sealed away, irretrievable. Just then, just as I compose myself completely, Edward lifts the veil.
