Veiled Souls

Chapter 1 :The beginning

The storm raged on, shattering the silence and serenity that once enveloped the Shadow Wolf Pack. Screams pierced the air as if torn from the very depths of their souls, a chorus of terror echoing through the darkness. From the mysterious abyss emerged a figure, a harbinger of death, the devil made flesh. In the blink of an eye, five warriors lay lifeless in his wake, their blood staining the earth crimson.

Alpha Mason Moonrise sensed the panic and despair coursing through the pack's mind link. With a fierce determination, he lunged at the intruder, seeking to protect his kin. Yet, his efforts proved futile as he found himself overpowered, his own blood seeping into the unforgiving ground. Chaos erupted as the pack scrambled for safety, but their attempts were in vain. The night bore witness to a massacre, a testament to the cruelty of a beast, a reaper, a demon – Hunter BlackBlood.

As the morning dawned, I was jolted awake by the insistent beeping of my alarm. The weight of impending responsibility pressed down on me as I recalled the urgent meeting with my alpha father and other leaders to address the looming threats to our kind, particularly the looming shadow of Hunter BlackBlood.

I couldn't ignore the prickling sensation that accompanied his name, a warning sign of danger lurking on the horizon.

Hurriedly, I made my way to the bathroom, my mind racing with thoughts of the day ahead. I completed my morning routine with haste, dressing in casual attire befitting a werewolf whose beauty was innate, unaffected by mundane concerns.

My name is Harmonie Rosaline Moonrise, but I prefer to go by Rosaline or Rose. I am the daughter of Alpha King Blake Mason Moonrise, a princess in the world of werewolves. At seventeen, soon to be eighteen, I stand at 5'5" with strawberry blonde hair cascading around my shoulders, complementing my vibrant green eyes.

The anticipation of finding my soulmate, my mate, thrums through my veins. They say that when you meet your mate, time stands still as you become lost in each other's eyes, intoxicated by their scent, and electrified by their touch.

A disruption behind me draws my attention, and I turn to find my best friend and future beta, Hailey Midnight Moon, known for her wild antics and unwavering loyalty.

"Hey, you baboon cupcake face! Where have you been? It's been a year with no calls, no conversations, no mindlink. It's like you were swallowed by the Bermuda Triangle! Have you forgotten your best friend/sister in the whole universe?" she exclaims dramatically.

I chuckle at her theatrics. "And you have the nerve to laugh! You're so heartless," she retorts, wiping away a fake tear.

"You know I can't talk to anyone when I'm training to become the next ruler of werewolves. But you know I love you, sis. How about a little escapade from the palace?" I propose.

Hailey smirks. "With pleasure, baby. But let's make a pit stop at the gym first. Those mouthwatering chocolate cakes, if you know what I mean," she adds with a suggestive wink.

"I can't refuse you anything. But we must return before lunch. Mom's punctuality is unmatched," I warn.

"Agreed, my friend," Hailey replies, her excitement palpable.

As I watch her dance with unbridled joy, I am reminded of the blessings in my life – loving parents and a steadfast best friend. What could possibly go wrong?

Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. I know my language skills aren't perfect, and I have made many mistakes. I will try to correct them, but please understand that English is my third language.

PS: I will try to write often (once a week or more), but I can't promise anything because I am in my final year of high school (or terminal year) and I have to study for my exams. Thank you for your understanding.

PS 2: The picture is of Rosaline. Isn't she a beauty? 😉
