Witchcraft Veiling Novels & Stories

I asked. She turned slightly. “The veil,” I said, gesturing to my own face. “I thought that tradition had mostly died out across the packs.” She shrugged. “Some still practice.” “What are the central tenets?” I asked. “I’m curious.” A pause. Slightly longer than it should have been. “Prayer. Devotion to the Goddess.” She stopped, then continued, “the veil is a commitment. The removal of vanity before the divine.” “And the name?”

If Athena was held hostage, then she must have been kidnapped by me which meant I was working with Sabrina. The witch held out a staff in her hand and made a circling motion in the air. White smoke popped out of thin air. We all stood aside, watching her do her thing. I prayed earnestly within me that the cloaking spell my witch had performed on Athena would prevent her from detecting her presence. She made some incantations with her eyes shut. After several minutes of doing different kinds of rituals, she turned in our direction, her eyes fixated on Richard. I held my breath as fear coursed through me. She looked as though she had discovered something.

He had a murderous look in his eyes but the witch's denial is making him conflicted inside. “How do you explain the spell that borrowed his body and mind? How do you explain the sigil that led us here?” The witch raised trembling hands. “I… I swear I didn't.” Look there. ”She pointed to a corner near the storage door. “My cloak. Inside it, you will find the Lakeville coven sigil embroidered at the hem of it. My real coven real sigil… it has absolutely nothing to do with an interlocked circle…Just look.”

“Then where?” Riven crouched beside him, pulling a scroll from his satchel—old, tattered, marked with seals of both witch and wolf. “You said she shimmered. That she lit up like the stars. That’s not death magic. That’s Veilcraft.” Kael frowned. “Veilcraft was banned centuries ago.” Riven shrugged. “So were half the things keeping her alive.” Kael took the scroll. The symbols blurred before him—ancient glyphs no Alpha was ever meant to touch. “You can read this?”

She wasn’t getting the comfort of knowing. Not while I had a say. I lipped into my wrist hard and fast, drinking in pain as the blood pooled onto the failsafe. Not enough to set it. Just enough to command it. Bracing myself with one hand on the bed, I spoke into the weave of it, allowing my magic, my hatred, my fear to braid into the sigil before I uncapped Draven’s sigil from the small flask beneath our pillow and smeared that onto it as well. Mixed blood.

Jared gave me a wry smile. “You've been very busy with everything of late. Don't be hard on yourself, okay? It's not your fault,” I consoled. “Thanks,” “So what was that veiling thing you were talking about?” I asked, curious to know. “Oh, it's an invisible covering and barrier to safeguard the festival from the human world. A powerful witch would be there to cast the concealing spell,” he said, and that got me intrigued. I want to see what it looks like and I was glad that I was going to be able to witness it, at least.

She gestured toward the folded parchment that Riven still held. Elara stood rigid, her fingernails biting into her arms. Every detail felt like a stone being placed on her chest. “Witchcraft,” Riven muttered, reading the script again like it could tell him more. “And not a weakling’s work either.” Selena nodded. “A veil spell. Designed to blur sound, scent, even light. It needs blood to activate.” Elara’s stomach lurched. “Blood? Whose blood?” “Probably theirs. Maybe even Willow’s,” Selena said softly, as if saying it too loud would make it true.

I asked my wolf, feeling like an idiot “We are going to shift back into our human form, I will teach you a spell to clothe your body. We have breached the Veil, and they must not discover you have come into your powers yet. They may not even know who you are if the Covens protection still holds. Shifting back was uncomfortable, but less painful than last night, with only some of the nausea. “Willow, close your eyes and imagine the clothes you wore last night are piecing themselves back together on your body. Imagine them coming together exactly the way they were when you got into bed last night. Do this quickly. Once you have it, I will pull all of our energy to bring it into existence.” I d

I did not look at him. Fiancé. The word sat in the room and I let it sit there and examined what I thought about it, which was less than I might have expected and more complicated than I preferred. "They were shopping for wedding dresses," the manager continued. "The jewelry store was their second stop. The veil she was wearing, she had kept it from the bridal shop." I filed this away. The veil from the dreams, the veil the priestess had described, the veil that had been exactly right in every particular, and she had been wearing it because she was shopping for her wedding.

The Grand Solstice Banquet slowly wound down into the Veil of Midnight Truths — a quieter, more intimate ritual where guests moved through veiled archways of shimmering silver silk. Each veil was meant to allow one private confession or moment of honesty before the final nights of the solstice. In Beta tradition, this was a time for gentle truths spoken without pressure, contrasting the raw, dominant confessions sometimes forced in Alpha rites.
