TRINITY

The soft glow of my bedside lamp cast a warm light over my room, but it did little to ease the storm brewing in my chest. I sat cross-legged on the bed, phone pressed tightly to my ear as Cara’s voice filled the silence. Talking to her had always been a comfort, but tonight, even her usual cheer couldn’t drown out the turmoil I felt.

“Wait,” Cara said, her tone sharp with disbelief. “You kissed Nasir? Trinity, you kissed him?”

I groaned, pressing a hand to my forehead. “I didn't kiss him!”

“Okay, so he kissed you?” she asked, and I pursed my lips for a moment.

“Well, no. Not exactly…”

“Then what the bloody hell happened?!” she snapped, impatience and curiosity in her tone.

“Relax,Okay? I guess we kind of kissed each other? I don't know, it all just happened so fast,” I said all in one breath, placing a hand over my head.

Care does not say anything and her silence scares me more than the kiss itself.

Heaven knows what is going through that woman’s head.

    TRINITY The warm scent of cinnamon and freshly baked bread filled the air, but it did little to soothe the unease simmering in my chest. I stood beside Lily in the kitchen, my hands idly resting on the counter as I half-listened to her explain a recipe. She was kneading dough with practiced ease, her movements steady and deliberate, as if the world outside this cozy space didn’t exist.“So, after you let it rise, you’ll punch it down and shape it into rolls. Simple, right?” she said, glancing up at me with a smile.“Right,” I replied automatically, though my mind was far from yeast and bread-making.Lily paused, her hands halting mid-motion as she studied me. “Trinity, you’re a million miles away. What’s going on?”I forced a smile, hoping it looked convincing. “I’m fine. Just… thinking.”“Uh-huh.” Her raised eyebrow said she didn’t buy it, but thankfully, she didn’t press further.Movement caught my eye, and my heart stuttered in my chest. Nasir strode past the open doorway, his dar

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Thirty Seven: Hunt Gone Wrong 

    TRINITY The forest loomed ahead, an endless expanse of towering trees that seemed to swallow the last rays of sunlight. The air smelled earthy and alive, the rich scent of moss and decaying leaves mixing with the faint sweetness of blooming flowers. It should have been beautiful, serene even, but all I could feel was a gnawing unease that twisted my stomach into knots.Xander walked ahead of me, his tall frame moving with an effortless grace I could never hope to match. His confidence was a stark contrast to the anxiety simmering in my chest, and the way he moved, like the forest itself bent to his will, only made me more nervous.“Xander,” I called out, stopping just short of the tree line. My voice trembled, betraying the fear I’d tried to mask. “Are you absolutely sure this is a good idea? I mean… you do remember I don’t have a wolf, right?”He stopped and turned to face me, his amber eyes catching the fading light in a way that made them seem to glow. There was no trace of annoya

    XERXES The stars stretched endlessly above me, brilliant and cold against the velvet black sky. They were my constant companions, their light reaching me from distances so vast it made all my problems feel small. Out here, beneath their gaze, I could breathe. I could think.I lay back in the grass of the clearing, my hands clasped behind my head. The night air was cool against my skin, carrying the earthy scent of the forest and the faint sweetness of blooming wildflowers. It was quiet—peaceful, even. But that peace didn’t last.The first sign was a faint stirring inside me, a flicker of unease that I couldn’t place. I frowned, sitting up slowly, my senses sharpening. My wolf growled deep within me, a low and warning sound that vibrated through my chest.Something’s wrong.“Talk to me,” I muttered, knowing full well he wouldn’t. My wolf wasn’t one for words.The stillness of the night suddenly felt oppressive. The usual symphony of crickets and rustling leaves was gone, replaced by 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

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Forty: The White Wolf

    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 Forty One: A Better Slut

    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

    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

    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

Instead, she crossed her arms and stared me down, her expression twisted in something that could only be described as contempt.“You should watch where you’re going,” she snapped. “Though, I suppose someone like you is always in the way, aren’t they?”My stomach churned at her words, but I kept my expression neutral.

    TRINITY The warm, buttery aroma of freshly baked bread filled the kitchen as I stood beside Lily, who was patiently showing me how to perfect a new recipe. Her instructions were clear, her movements practiced, and for the first time in what felt like ages, I found myself smiling at something so simple. My hands were covered in flour, and I had managed to get some on my cheek without realizing it.Lily chuckled, brushing her own hands on her apron. “You’re a natural, Trinity. Just a little more kneading, and you’ve got it.”“I don’t know about nature,” I replied, laughing softly. “But this is fun. I didn’t think baking could be so relaxing.”“It’s therapeutic,” she said with a wink. “And it’s good to know how to feed people. You never know when you might need to charm someone with a home-cooked meal.”Before I could respond, the kitchen door swung open, and in walked Xander.I stiffened immediately.“Smells good in here,” he said casually, his hands stuffed into his pockets.

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Sixty Two: Dancing with The Enemy

    LIAMThe grandeur of the Northern Kingdom’s palace was undeniable. The towering arches, shimmering chandeliers, and opulent tapestries whispered of a wealth and history that rivaled even our own. We arrived to the sound of ceremonial drums and the welcoming smiles of the northern alphas, their warriors flanking the long hall in stoic formation.It was all very formal, too formal for my liking, but I played my part. As one of the three alphas of the Crimson Moon Pack, it was my duty to present strength and unity, even if my thoughts were elsewhere.“Welcome, Alpha Xerxes, Alpha Nasir, Alpha Liam,” the host said, bowing low. His voice carried the weight of respect and expectation.Xerxes, as always, took the lead, speaking in the deep, commanding tone that seemed to silence every room he entered. Nasir and I stood just behind him, nodding at the appropriate times, though my mind drifted to the one person who wasn’t here.Trinity.She should’ve been here. Not just because she belonged by

    TRINITYThe morning air was crisp, carrying a light chill that made me pull my sweater tighter around me as I stood on the front steps of the palace. A sleek black car, not sure what brand it is But it does look quite expensive. It idled on the circular driveway below, its engine humming softly. I watched as the guards loaded the triplets bags into the trunk, my heart sinking with each passing second.The sun was just beginning to rise, bathing the palace grounds in soft golden light, but it did little to chase away the sense of dread that clung to me. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to find some semblance of comfort, but the growing distance between me and the triplets felt unbearable.Xerxes, Nasir, and Liam moved with the kind of efficiency I’d come to expect from them, but even they seemed slower than usual, as if they were reluctant to leave. Xerxes caught my eye first, his sharp features softened by an expression I couldn’t quite place. He gave me a small nod, and I no

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Sixty: Mother's Orders

    NASIRThe air felt heavier as my brothers and I walked toward our mother’s chambers. Each step echoed in the silent hallway, a reminder of the weight of the responsibilities we carried. Liam glanced at me, his brows furrowed with unease. Xerxes strode ahead, his usual confident stride stiff with tension. We all knew this wasn’t going to be a conversation—it was going to be a command.This was The Luna Mira we are talking about here. She never asks, always orders and commands.When Xerxes pushed open the ornate doors, we were met with our mother’s piercing gaze. She sat behind her massive oak desk, her regal demeanor as commanding as ever. Her fragrance infiltrated my nostrils the second we stepped into the room. It was a sweet mix of lavender and vanilla.Scrolls and parchments littered the surface of her desk, each likely detailing some diplomatic affair or pack tradition. She was always fascinated with those.“Ah, you’re here,” she said, setting down a quill. Her voice was cool and

    TRINITYThe training room stretched wide before me, its walls lined with racks of weapons ranging from gleaming swords to well-worn staves. The faint scent of sweat and steel lingered in the air, and the floor bore the scuffs and marks of countless sparring sessions. Standing at the center with a staff clutched tightly in my hands, I felt a bead of sweat roll down my back as the triplets circled me like predators sizing up their prey.“Loosen your grip,” Liam instructed, stepping forward. His voice was calm and encouraging, but his stance was firm. “If you hold it too tight, your movements will be stiff, and you’ll tire out quickly.”I glanced down at my hands, my fingers wrapped tightly around the smooth wood. Slowly, I adjusted my grip, loosening it as he’d said. When I looked back up, he nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips.“Better. Now, let’s see if you can block.”Before I could prepare, Liam lunged forward, his movements fluid and precise. My heart raced as I instinctively

    TRINITYThe sunlight filtering through the curtains woke me gently, but as my eyes fluttered open, a wave of confusion rolled over me. I was back in my room, tucked into my bed. The last thing I remembered was falling asleep by the creek, Xerxes by my side. Had he carried me back?I sat up slowly, my mind clouded with questions. The quiet of the palace felt heavy, almost foreboding. Pushing the thoughts aside, I got out of bed, dressed, and wandered into the halls.The corridors stretched before me, silent and empty, until I heard voices coming from the throne room. Curious, I followed the sound. The door was slightly ajar, and when I peeked in, I saw Xerxes, Nasir, and Liam standing in a tight circle, deep in conversation.I hesitated. Their conversation came to a halt and their eyes fell on me. It felt like I was intruding on something important. “Pardon me, I didn't mean to intrude,” I murmured, turning to leave.“Wait. Actually, we’ve been waiting for you,” Nasir called out, stop

    XERXES The night was still and peaceful, the soft babble of the creek the only sound as I watched Trinity sleep. The moonlight filtered through the canopy above, casting a silvery glow over her face. Her features were delicate, relaxed in sleep, a stark contrast to the guarded expression she wore during the day. She looked... serene, almost otherworldly, as though the chaos of her world couldn’t touch her in this moment.So this is what she looked like when she wasn't looking over her shoulder. I felt this strange sensation at the thought.Could it be guilt? I don't know. What I do know is that I should be able to protect her. She should feel safe here with me, not constantly threatened.I leaned back on my elbows, studying her. There was something about her that was quietly captivating—like a puzzle I didn’t quite know how to solve. She wasn’t what I had expected from the woman I thought would be my mate, and certainly not what I had wanted at first. But now... now I wasn’t so sure
