Another drowned himself in the river, begging forgiveness for a massacre his great-grandfather had committed. Isolde called it *the Echo*. "The Veil isn't just stable-it's *amplifying*," she said, her fingers trembling as she unspooled threads of magic from a victim's aura. "Every sin, every secret... it's all bleeding through." Rhydian, still hollowed from sacrificing the First Pack's essence, stared at his scarless chest. "This isn't the Veil's doing. It's *hers*." He didn't need to name the goddess.

Yvayn swallowed hard seeing that her neck was covered in the white veil as well but with a dark band around the base of her neck.

I was trying really hard not to cry and was failing terribly. I move to the stepping stool right in front of the mirror. While Nora and Kim are wowing over the look, my eyes are glued to myself in the mirror. It’s beautiful. Not the casual type of beautiful. The type of beautiful that Bentley Brown described in the room my grandma died last Christmas Eve. “It comes with a custom-made veil,” the designer chimes, getting the veil and putting my hair into an updo to get it in.
