HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twelve: Unspoken Fury
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

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
Last Updated : 2025-03-23HIDDEN 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
Last Updated : 2025-03-24HIDDEN 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
Last Updated : 2025-03-24HIDDEN 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
Last Updated : 2025-03-26HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Seventeen: Sneers in The Kitchen
TRINITYI woke up with an unsettling grumble in my stomach, the kind that demanded immediate attention. I blinked a few times, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. The sun had barely risen, casting a soft glow through the curtains. But the hunger… that was impossible to ignore.I pushed the covers off and swung my feet to the floor, the cold hardwood sending a chill up my spine. I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should just head back to bed and wait for breakfast. But my stomach made its opinion loud and clear—food first, bed second.I padded down the hallway, the silence of the house almost oppressive in the early morning hours. The air smelled faintly of something rich and warm, and I knew exactly where it was coming from: the kitchen.When I arrived, I was greeted with the sight of several maids, all moving around the room with an air of efficiency. But as soon as I stepped into view, the atmosphere shifted. Their eyes slid toward me—cold, judgmental, and full of contempt
Last Updated : 2025-03-26HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Eighteen: The Beta's challenge
TRINITYI had been wandering the palace for what felt like hours, my curiosity guiding my steps through every hallway, every corridor, and every room I hadn’t yet discovered. The walls whispered secrets, ancient and untold, and the flickering lights seemed to invite me deeper into the heart of the castle. I had no particular destination in mind—just the thrill of exploration.Plus, I didn't want to remain cooped up in my room.As I turned a corner, a low hum reached my ears, followed by the rhythmic sound of fists striking something like a steady thud that grew louder with each step I took. My feet instinctively followed the noise, curiosity piquing with every step.I paused at a heavy wooden door, cracked just enough for a sliver of light to escape into the dim hallway. Through the gap, I could make out shadows moving fluidly, their bodies engaged in rapid, precise movements. My heart picked up its pace as I leaned in closer, holding my breath.Then I saw him.Xerxes.He was sparrin
Last Updated : 2025-03-26HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Nineteen: The ultimate challenge
TRINITYThe air was thick with anticipation as the three of them—Nasir, Liam, and Xander—stepped forward, a united front against Xerxes. I could feel the tension building in my chest as I leaned against the doorframe, unable to tear my eyes away from what was unfolding in front of me. I had never seen anything like it.Nasir was the first to speak, his voice dripping with mischief and confidence.“Three against one, Xerxes. I’m curious to see how you handle it.”Xerxes didn’t respond immediately, his dark eyes flicking between each of the men. His lips twitched upward in the faintest of grins, his body still and ready for whatever came next.“I’ll take the challenge,” Xerxes said, his voice low and steady. My heart raced. How was he so calm? He wasn’t just facing one of them—he was facing all three. The three of them lined up, ready to go, and for a moment, all I could hear was the steady beat of my own heart.Then it began.And they were formidable, each of them possessing their o

HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty Eight: Unwanted Feelings
NASIR I circled Liam, my eyes locked on his as we spared in the training room. The sound of our breathing and the thud of our feet on the mat filled the air. I landed a swift kick to his stomach, and he doubled over, gasping for breath. I couldn't help but mock him, "You're so slow, little brother. I'm starting to think you're more of a hindrance than a help."Liam rolled his eyes, his expression annoyed. "I'm only thirty minutes younger than you, Nasir. Don't act like you're so much better than me." He stood up straight, his chest heaving, and his eyes flashing with anger. His face was red, and his fists were clenched at his sides.I chuckled, "Oh, but I'm the stronger, faster, and smarter one. You're just...well, you're just Liam." I said to him, enjoying the feeling of superiority. Even though Xerxes was known to be the stronger one, I have always derived pleasure in beating him during our sparring sessions. It was a role I took seriously, and I wasn't about to let Liam forget i
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty Seven: Kindest Words She Has Ever Heard
TRINITY:I stirred on the bed, my mind racing with thoughts that wouldn’t settle. The events of the past few days replayed over and over in my head, like a twisted nightmare I couldn't wake from. If Xander hadn’t taken my food that night, I’d be dead right now. The thought made my stomach twist. That poison was not common, it was meant for me. That, I have come to realize. It couldn't have harmed the triplets because of their royal blood. Not even my cousins were average wolves, they were of noble blood. Which meant It would have weakened them but not killed them. I, on the other hand, had nothing defending me from such a lethal poison. And the poison was on my plate. I believe it was easy to put two and two together. Xander saved me, and for that, I was eternally grateful. But the guilt, it gnawed at me every waking moment.Xander was still bedridden. Days had passed, and I couldn’t bear seeing him like that. He had taken the poison meant for me, and now he was paying the price.
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty Six: A Culprit To Be Found
TRINITYI paced back and forth in front of the door, my fingers clutching at the sleeves of my sweater. The harsh, rhythmic sound of my boots against the stone floor echoed in the hallway, making it impossible to ignore the tension that thickened the air around me. Every second felt like a minute, every minute like an hour. Inside, I knew the Alpha triplets were with the pack doctor, working on Xander. I wanted to knock on the door, demand to see him, to make sure he was okay, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was afraid of what I might hear.My heart was pounding in my chest, the fear of what might have happened to Xander clawing at me. He was my friend, my protector, he couldn’t be gone.Amara's sharp gaze burned through me, her eyes narrowed in suspicion, her posture tense. Maia and Selene weren’t much better. The three of them exchanged silent looks, as though forming some unspoken alliance against me. My breath caught in my throat as I caught glimpses of their judgmental
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty Five: Dinner Gone Wrong
TRINITY I could still feel the warmth of Xerxes' lips against mine. It had been only hours since the kiss, but every moment replayed in my mind like an endless loop. The spark, the connection, the intensity of the moment... I’d never felt anything like it before. My fingers instinctively touched my lips as I walked beside him, the faintest trace of his presence still lingering on me. I swallowed hard, hoping the heat in my cheeks would cool off soon. There was no way I could act like it didn’t affect me.Xerxes must have noticed my silence because he glanced at me, but I couldn’t look him in the eyes. Not after what had happened. The last thing I needed was for him to see how flustered I felt.We entered the palace, the tall stone walls echoing our footsteps. As we made our way to the kitchen, a group of voices hit my ears. I could hear Liam’s booming laughter mixed with Nasir’s quieter chuckles. The chatter was light and easy, but as soon as I stepped inside, everything fell still
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty Four: A Fairy Tale Kiss
TRINITYThe sun was beginning its slow descent, casting soft golden hues across the garden. I sank deeper into the plush grass, the scent of blooming flowers and fresh earth filling my senses. This was my haven, a secret space where no one could find me—away from everything, from the pressures of my role, from the expectations that weighed on me.In my hands, I held the book I had stolen from the secret library. It was bound in dark leather, and its pages crackled with age. I had barely managed to slip it from its hidden resting place without anyone noticing, and now I was finally going to read it. The title was unassuming, but the stories it held, the knowledge it promised, stirred something deep within me.It was about the wolves and their ancient connection to the moon goddess. My heart raced as I opened to the first page, my eyes scanning the words in the dimming light. The tales spoke of devotion, of how the wolves would howl to the moon to honor her, their goddess, who granted t
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty Three: The Library
TRINITY I had wandered through the palace for what felt like hours, drawn by the sprawling, labyrinthine halls that seemed to stretch on forever. I still wasn't over the little hunt Nasir placed on me. I had no idea how I ended up in my room. I suppose it must have been Xerxes’ doing. He was the one who hid me under the berry Bush in the first place. I am just glad all that is over now.The scent of polished wood and aged stone mingled with the faint perfume of something ancient, as though the air itself held the stories of centuries past. Every step I took echoed in the silence, and I couldn’t help but feel that the palace was alive, watching me.I’d passed the same grand staircases, towering columns, and gilded doors so many times that I began to lose track of where I was. The place seemed to change every time I blinked—another hallway that turned into an open space, a door that led to somewhere unfamiliar. It was disorienting, but there was something exciting about it. Something
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty Two: Maia's Tears
MAIAI stood in the hallway, my eyes fixed on Nasir as he stepped out of Trinity's room. My heart sank, and a wave of anger washed over me. What was he doing with her? I demanded to know, my voice trembling with rage. That damn Trinity. How dare she just pop out of nowhere and threaten to steal what my sisters and I have worked so long to achieve. I would not let this happen, not under my watch.I could feel my pulse racing, and my palms grew sweaty as I tried to process what I had just seen."Nasir, what are you doing with her?" I asked, trying to keep my emotions in check. I took a step closer to him, my eyes blazing with intensity. I wanted to see the guilt written all over his face, but there was none. He didn't even have the decency to look away.Nasir turned to face me, his expression cold and detached. "I don't have time for an interrogation, Maia," he said, pushing me to the side. His touch was like a slap in the face, and I felt a sting of pain. I couldn't believe he was t
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty one:A Crack In The Armor
NASIR The night air is cool against my skin, the shadows of the palace stretching long across the courtyard as the last of the day’s light slips away. It’s been hours. Hours since I set the recruits loose to find Trinity, and not a single one of them has been able to track her down. The timer has long since expired, and still, she’s nowhere to be found. I can feel the irritation brewing inside me, a slow burn that’s growing into something far worse.Liam walks up to me, his fists clenched, face contorted with anger. Once the timer had expired, he too had joined the recruits in searching for Trinity. "You’ve scared her off, Nasir," he spits, his voice harsh. "This isn’t some damn game, you know. You can't be toying with our mate like this.”I roll my eyes at him. "You’re overreacting, Liam." My words are dismissive. I don’t care to hear his complaints. What does he know about training, about pushing people to their limits? Nothing. I did what I had to do.And besides, I didn't pla
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Twenty: The Hunt
TRINITYMy heart is pounding in my chest, each beat sending a tremor through my body. I take a shaky step back, the cold stone beneath my feet adding to the weight of what’s about to happen. The palace walls loom around me like silent witnesses to the cruel game Nasir has set in motion. I swallow hard, trying to steady myself, but the words that leave my mouth feel foreign, weak."Please, Nasir... don’t do this." My voice is a fragile whisper, barely louder than the breeze rustling through the courtyard.His grin widens, wicked and full of malice, as if he relishes every second of my fear. "If none of the recruits finds you in the next twenty minutes," he says slowly, letting the words hang in the air like a guillotine, "you’re free. And I’ll make sure they face punishment so excruciating, they’ll never forget it."My breath catches in my throat. My legs tremble with the sudden weight of his words. I can feel the pressure of all eyes on me, the other recruits waiting for my next mov
