TRINITY

I lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, heart pounding in my chest. The house is quiet now—too quiet. My aunt and cousins are probably settled in their rooms by now, and I can hear the soft murmur of their voices, the occasional giggle. They’re drifting off to sleep, and with each passing moment, the tension in my chest builds. This is it. Tonight’s the night.

Tonight is the night I get out of this hellhole. I am not going to just sit here and wait to get rejected or killed.

So, I wait. I have to be sure. Every muscle in my body is coiled tight, ready to spring, but I need the silence. The stillness. I need them to be asleep before I make my move.

Finally, the house is silent. No more voices, no more laughter. I wait for a few seconds, holding my breath, and when I’m certain they’re asleep, I slip out from under the covers. My feet barely make a sound on the cold floor. My heart hammers in my chest, too loud, too fast, but I don’t let it stop me. I can’t stop. Not now.

I move

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Nine: The Alpha's Judgment

    TRINITYThe cold, oppressive silence hung heavily in the air, punctuated only by the occasional rustle of fabric as the Alpha triplets—Xerxes, Nasir, and Liam—shifted in their thrones. Their eyes, sharp as blades, were trained on me, unmoving, unforgiving.I could not bring myself to look up at Xerxes. He warned me about this.And just mere hours ago.Yet I did exactly what he told me not to. I am so dead.But how the hell was I supposed to know that I would be caught by Nasir? What on earth was he doing out there by that time anyway?It doesn’t matter. I am the one who has been caught. I am the one in trouble. And I am the one who was going to answer for it.I could feel the weight of their gaze pressing into my skin, each of them silently scrutinizing me. The air felt thick with their disapproval, as if the very space around me was suffocating. I dared not look up; to meet their eyes would be to provoke their wrath further. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks, my pulse quicken

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Ten: Tears and Urges

    LIAMI walked beside Selene, the soft crunch of gravel beneath our feet the only sound in the otherwise peaceful palace garden. It was a rare moment of quiet, just the two of us, surrounded by fragrant flowers and the distant hum of the palace. The sun was lower now, casting a soft orange glow on everything, making the world feel warmer, as if trying to make up for the coldness I could feel creeping in from within.One would consider this a romantic setting, and it would have been. Had she been my mate.Or someone I was actually attracted to.Selene’s presence was always uncomfortable in a way. "You’ve been distant lately, Liam," she said, her voice light, but there was a sharpness in it that made my stomach tighten.I glanced at her, trying to keep my expression neutral. “I’ve been busy,” I muttered, not entirely convinced by my own words. Truth be told, I hadn’t been entirely focused on my duties in the past few days. My thoughts kept drifting to the tension between Trinity and me

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Eleven:The Safe Space

    TRINITYI sat on the edge of my bed, the only sound in the room the quiet sniffles that seemed to come from deep within my chest. My hands clutched the soft blankets around me, but it didn’t bring any comfort. I was suffocating here, trapped in this grand, empty castle, surrounded by walls that weren’t just made of stone, but of expectations. Regret wrapped around me like a second skin, and the weight of it bore down on my shoulders.I had been foolish to return. Foolish to think I could step back into this life as if it hadn’t changed. The city had felt like freedom—clean air, new opportunities, people who didn’t see me as some weakling or embarrassment. But here I was. Back at the Crimson Moon Pack. Back for the Ascension Ceremony, a ridiculous event I never even wanted to be a part of.And look at where it got me.I regretted it the moment I stepped foot back in this place . Every corridor, every room seemed to echo with the weight of my past here, suffocating me further. I coul

    NASIRI pushed open the door without a second thought, my mind consumed with the thought of Xerxes and the damn meeting he called.Where the hell was Liam? Damn him for making me look for his ass. I think I had seen Selene crying and running out of the gardens. I didn't bother asking her what happened, there was only one person capable of making her cry.Besides, I really do not care to know what conspired between them. If we can get rid of at least one of the Silverhade sisters, the better it will be for all of us. I searched the entire garden but my damn brother was nowhere to be found. There was one last place I could check.If he wasn't there then I would be forced to ask Selene.Please be at your damn yoga room.I passed by Trinity's room a couple of times, and just like the other days since she arrived, her door was shut.A part of me started to wonder if she died in there.Why do I care? If she is dead then the better it will be for my brothers and I. At least we would be fre

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Thirteen: The Stars and the Silence

    TRINITY“What do you mean, you almost kissed him?” Cara’s voice was still filled with disbelief.I laid on my bed, my eyes focused on the chandelier hoisted above my bed. I had my phone pressed to my ear as I spoke to Cara. I can't believe I haven't spoken to her after all this time here in the palace. After what happened this afternoon in the yoga room, I knew I needed my best friend.My room was quiet, the only sound being the soft hum of the late-night breeze coming through the window. I hadn’t realized how late it had gotten, but talking to Cara had a way of making the hours slip by unnoticed.I sighed, slumping back into my chair, letting the phone fall a little away from my ear as I rolled my eyes. “You know how it is, Cara. He was there, I was there. Things got... complicated.”“Trinity!” she nearly shouted. I could hear her excitement even through the static. “No way. You and Liam? Almost kissed? You’re not messing with me, are you? This is real?”I bit my lip, avoiding her

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Fourteen: Under the Moonlight 

    TRINITYI stood before Luna Mira, my eyes fixed on her ethereal beauty. The moonlight cast an otherworldly glow on her skin, illuminating her features and making her seem almost divine. Her hair, a rich, dark brown, cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night, and her eyes, a piercing shade of blue, seemed to bore into my very soul. She radiated a certain power that I had never felt before, a power that seemed to emanate from the very core of her being.I swear not even her sons radiated such an aura. I have always heard stories of the great Luna Mira, a woman known to have ended many of our potential pack wars just with her smile.I always thought the stories were a bit exaggerated but now that I look at her, I am starting to think that maybe they are not. Luna Mira's eyes narrowed as she gazed at me. The irritation and annoyance she felt was so clear to me. She looked at me like she couldn't even stand the sight of me.This was not my first time meeting with Luna Mira. I hav

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Fifteen: Torn Sketches

    TRINITYI sat quietly on the stone bench in the middle of the palace gardens, the vibrant hues of nature around me painting a picture more beautiful than any I could ever hope to capture. The sun was beginning its slow descent toward the horizon, casting a golden glow across the flowers and trees. I was lost in it, sketching the fluttering butterflies as they danced from one blossom to the next, their delicate wings a perfect blend of soft pastels and bright, intricate patterns.Each stroke of my pencil was a chance to bring a piece of the tranquility around me to life. I could feel the weight of my earlier encounter with Luna Mira slowly dissipating as I focused on the details—the way the leaves rustled in the breeze, the texture of the tree bark, the soft shadows playing across the petals. I had trouble sleeping after our little conversation on the balcony. Once again, I felt like a bird trapped in an inescapable cage.It was easy to forget everything when I was in the garden, imm

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Sixteen: Daemon's Rage

    XERXES I can't remember the last time I felt such uncontrollable rage.I had been standing at the edge of the garden, my eyes fixed on the Silvershade sisters as they stood before Trinity, their words sharp, their tones cruel. The cold, calculated veneer I had built over the years—the one that kept me untouched by the world’s trifling offenses—began to crumble, piece by piece. Watching them berate Trinity, seeing her flinch, her body tense, her eyes clouded with unshed tears, stirred something in me I could not control.I had spent years honing my control, learning to keep every emotion locked away, buried under layers of stone. But something about Trinity’s vulnerability shattered that control. It was like watching a part of me break, my stoic demeanor dissolving as I stepped forward, every instinct telling me that what was happening was wrong.The Silvershade sisters didn’t see me coming. They were too consumed by their petty cruelty, too wrapped up in their superiority. But whe

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Forty Seven: A Hunt With The Triplets

    TRINITYThe forest was alive, humming with the sounds of rustling leaves, chirping birds, and the occasional snap of a twig beneath our feet. Sunlight filtered through the thick canopy above, dappling the forest floor with golden patches. I walked behind the triplets, my steps quieter and more hesitant than their confident strides. The guards trailed a little farther back, their watchful eyes scanning the surroundings.I couldn’t help but feel the irony of the situation. Not long ago, they’d lashed out at Xander for taking me into the woods without consulting them. Now here they were, doing the exact same thing. The thought made me smirk faintly, but I didn’t voice it. It wasn’t worth the argument.Xerxes turned slightly, his sharp gaze cutting through the trees. “This is different,” he said as if reading my mind. “Xander took you out alone. Without protection. That was reckless.”“And without our consent,” Liam added, his tone lighter than his brother’s but still firm. “We have guard

    TRINITYThe soft hum of voices carried down the corridor as I approached the royal dining hall. My stomach tightened, partly from hunger and partly from the anxiety that came with crossing paths with the Alpha triplets. I hadn’t planned to come this way, but my feet had carried me here before I realized where I was heading.The scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries wafted through the open doorway, mingling with the low tones of conversation. I paused just outside the room, my fingers clenching the edge of my shawl. I could hear them clearly—the deep timbre of Alpha Nader’s voice, the sharper tones of Luna Mira, and the more familiar, distinct voices of the triplets.Steeling myself, I took a hesitant step forward. When I peeked into the room, the sight before me nearly made me stop in my tracks.The dining table stretched across the room like a centerpiece of opulence, its surface adorned with golden plates, delicate crystal glasses, and an endless array of food. Platters o

    TRINITYThe dream pulled me under as though I were sinking into the depths of an endless ocean. When I opened my eyes, I was back in the forest. Shadows stretched across the ground, cast by the towering trees that loomed overhead. The air was damp and heavy, carrying the scent of earth and moss.I spun in a slow circle, my breath hitching as I realized where I was. This wasn’t just a dream—it was a memory. The night the rogues attacked me.The growls began, low and menacing, surrounding me from every direction. My heart thundered in my chest as I turned, searching for an escape, but the shadows seemed alive, shifting and moving, hiding the predators stalking me.And then they emerged.Wolves, their eyes glowing with feral hunger, their teeth bared in snarls. They stepped closer, their movements slow and calculated, as though savoring my fear.I stumbled back, the panic rising like a tide, threatening to drown me. “Stay back!” I screamed, though my voice cracked with terror.They didn’

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Forty Four: A Moment of Ecstasy

    TRINITYHis lips felt like electricity shooting across my skin. His touch was exhilarating; it brought out a part of me that I never knew existed. This part of me... it was needy; it was desperate. His lips had to be the sweetest thing I have ever tasted. That was a lie; Nasir’s lips were the sweetest I have ever tasted. Never mind; I couldn’t choose between the two.My eyes rolled to the back of my head as Liam trailed kisses down my neck, sucking the sensitive skin between my ear and neck. The moan that left my lips couldn’t be helped. Goosebumps erupted across my skin as he placed featherlike touches all over my body.A gentle gasp left my lips when his hand wrapped around my neck softly yet firmly. His lips sealed mine once again, and our tongues explored each other’s mouths. I noticed that Liam kissed a whole lot more differently than Nasir.Nasir’s kiss was swift, heated, yet lustful. But Liam’s kiss was more intentional. It was curious. He wanted to explore every part of me; h

    LIAMThe air in the room was heavy, thick with the tension that had been mounting since we found the rogue’s lifeless body in the dungeons. Xerxes paced back and forth, his fists clenched at his sides, while Nasir leaned against the wall, his expression dark and unreadable.I sat at the edge of the table, arms crossed, trying to make sense of it all. “Someone within the palace sent him,” I said, my voice steady despite the anger simmering beneath the surface.Xerxes stopped pacing, his sharp gaze locking on me. “And whoever it was took the chance we gave them. The moment we left him alone, they made their move.”Nasir let out a low growl, his jaw tightening. “It’s clear this wasn’t random. Someone is trying to harm Trinity.”The mention of her name made my chest tighten. Trinity. Our mate. The girl who had turned all our lives upside down without even trying.Xerxes nodded, his voice firm. “We need to protect her.”Nasir pushed off the wall, folding his arms across his chest. “We cou

    XERXESTrinity sat upright in the bed, her pale fingers clutching the blanket draped over her lap. She looked so small there, lost in the massive bed. The sunlight spilling through the window bathed her in a soft glow, but the shadows under her eyes told a different story—one of exhaustion, vulnerability, and something else I couldn’t quite name.I suppose that was partially my fault. We haven't been making her stay here tolerable, much less enjoyable. “How are you feeling?” I asked, leaning against the wall with my arms crossed. My voice came out gentler than I intended, surprising me.She looked at me then, her gaze meeting mine for a fleeting moment before dropping to the blanket. “I’m fine,” she replied quietly, though her voice lacked any real conviction. “I… I can’t remember much of what happened.”Her eyebrows creased and it became obvious she was wracking her brain, desperately trying to recall the events that led to her losing consciousness. Her words hung in the air, and

    NASIRThe stench of blood and sweat filled the dungeon, a nauseating cocktail that clung to the damp, cold air. The single torch on the wall cast flickering shadows across the stone walls, dancing eerily as if mocking the man slumped in the chair before us. He was barely conscious, his face swollen and streaked with blood. The metallic tang of it was sharp, making my wolf restless.Xerxes loomed over the rogue, his fists clenched and his voice sharp. "Who sent you?"The rogue didn’t respond, his lips pressed tightly together. His chest heaved with shallow breaths, and I could see the slight twitch in his jaw as he fought to hold his composure.Xerxes wasn’t a patient man. His hand shot out, delivering a brutal punch to the rogue's face. The sickening crack of his nose breaking echoed in the confined space, and the rogue cried out in pain, his head lolling to the side. Blood poured from his nose, dripping onto the floor in steady splatters."I'll ask again," Xerxes growled, his amber e

    TRINITYThe forest was alive, teeming with an energy that made every sound sharper, every scent stronger. The air was crisp, carrying the earthy aroma of pine needles and damp moss. Moonlight spilled through the dense canopy above, casting silver streaks onto the forest floor and illuminating my path. The trees seemed impossibly tall, their dark silhouettes stretching into the sky like silent guardians.I wasn’t sure how I got here or why I was here, but the forest felt both strange and familiar. A dream, I realized. It had to be. Yet, the cool breeze brushing against my skin and the soft ground beneath my bare feet felt so real, it blurred the line between illusion and reality.Each step I took was cautious, but I was drawn forward by an unexplainable pull. The silence was almost oppressive, broken only by the occasional rustle of leaves or the distant call of a night bird. My unease grew with every passing second, a knot forming in my stomach.Then, as if summoned by my thoughts, a

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Thirty Nine: Guilt and Blame

    LIAMThe room was heavy with silence, the kind that pressed down on your chest and made it hard to breathe. I stood by Trinity’s bedside, my arms hanging uselessly at my sides, my fingers twitching with the need to do something. Anything. But there was nothing I could do.She looked so fragile lying there, her pale skin almost blending into the stark white sheets. Her dark lashes fanned against her cheeks, and her chest rose and fell in shallow, uneven breaths. The sight of her like this—unmoving, vulnerable—made my gut twist in a way I couldn’t explain. I hated it. I hated how helpless I felt, how useless I was.Xander leaned against the doorframe, his usual carefree demeanor replaced with something raw and unguarded. His foot tapped against the hardwood floor, the sound grating on my nerves, but I didn’t say anything. His fear was written all over him. The way his jaw clenched, the way his arms tightened across his chest like they could hold him together. He blamed himself, and hone
