Chapter Twenty Nine: First Kiss

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-01 00:37:46

XERXES

I clenched my jaw, the sharp pain from where Nasir’s punch had landed still searing through me. It wasn’t just the physical sting, though.

It was the sheer shock that Nasir—of all people—had done that for Trinity. I wasn’t used to seeing that kind of raw emotion from him. I couldn’t help but admire the way he’d stood up for her, his rage boiling over.

He had been so fierce in defense of Trinity, and somewhere deep inside, it made me feel something unfamiliar.

I turned slowly to Xander, who was now standing beside me.

“Did I mess up?”

Xander sighed deeply, almost as if he could sense the storm brewing inside me. When he looked at me, his expression wasn’t the usual cool, calculated one I was used to. It was something else—more like pity mixed with a touch of disappointment.

“Big time,” he said, his voice low, filled with something that almost sounded like regret.

“Then how do I fix this?” I muttered, frustration spilling out.

“You need to make it up to her,” Xander said, h

    TRINITY The sun was beginning to dip behind the distant hills, casting a golden glow across the kingdom. I sat perched on the balcony, the cool evening breeze tugging at my hair, as I gently sketched the sprawling view before me. The castle spires in the distance, the winding paths of the village, and the lush green fields rolling toward the horizon—there was something calming about it all. My pencil move fluidly across the page, capturing it as best as I could.It wasn’t often I got moments like this, moments when I could just be, without any responsibilities pressing on my shoulders. The weight of the kingdom seemed far away as I let myself sink into the rhythm of drawing, my only focus was the lines and shapes forming on the paper.Then, a voice broke the silence."Trinity."I froze, my heart skipping a beat as my first instinct kicked in.

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Thirty One: A Talk with The Alpha

    TRINITYThe scent of pine and cedar filled the grand balcony as I fell to my knees, my forehead pressing against the cold stone floor. My heart raced in my chest, not from fear but from the sheer weight of Alpha Nader’s presence. His aura wasn’t oppressive, yet it demanded submission in a way that was impossible to ignore. It was primal, instinctive.“Good morning, Alpha Nader,” I murmured, keeping my voice steady and reverent. “Forgive me, I did not know you would be here at this time.”“Rise, Trinity,” he said, his deep voice cutting through the crisp morning air like a blade. There was no malice in it, only authority softened by an underlying warmth. “There’s no need for you to bow like some peasant. Who knows, soon we might be family.”Family. The word hung in the air like a challenge, wrapping itself around my thoughts and constricting my chest. There has never been a point in my life I thought the Vale family to become mine. Hell, I didn't even see the Silvershades as my famil

    TRINITYNasir’s deep voice carried over the quiet hum of the forest, a mixture of authority and calmness that commanded attention. "Trajectory isn’t just about throwing," he said, gesturing toward the knife in my hand. "It’s about understanding the path the blade will take before it even leaves your fingers. The weight, the angle, the releases everything matters."I nodded like I understood, but the truth was, I didn’t. Not really. I’d been at this for over an hour, and my frustration was mounting with every failed attempt. The bullseye etched into the bark of a sturdy oak tree mocked me, unmarred and perfect, while the rest of the tree bore the evidence of my failure knives embedded at random angles and distances.I adjusted my grip on the knife, its hilt slick with sweat, and took a deep breath. Control, not force, I reminded myself. I raised my arm, aimed, and let the blade fly.Thunk.The knife hit the tree, but not even close to the bullseye. Again.I exhaled sharply, biting bac

    LIAMThe room was thick with tension, like the air before a storm. I sat at the head of the oak table, my fingers drumming a restless rhythm. Across from me, Nasir lounged in his chair, his posture deceptively relaxed. He didn’t even try to mask his smug expression, and it grated on me. I hated how casual he was acting after what he had just done. He put his hands on Trinity.And he dares to act like he despises her. My brother could be quite hypocritical, it disgusted me.Beside him, Xerxes looked like a bomb waiting to explode. His jaw was clenched so tightly I could see the veins bulging in his neck.We were supposed to be discussing pack business, but my mind was elsewhere. I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d seen earlier—Nasir kissing Trinity. The way his hands gripped her waist, the way she melted into him. It shouldn’t have bothered me. Trinity wasn’t mine alone. She was ours, a shared mate. Yet, betrayal simmered under my skin, its heat impossible to ignore.“The patrols

    TRINITYThe hallway was quiet, save for the soft hum of the lights above and the faint echo of my footsteps on the polished wood floor. I wasn’t sure where I was going, only that I needed to clear my head. The last few days had been a whirlwind of emotions—confusion, anger, and something deeper I couldn’t quite name.And after that kiss with Nasir, I think I would need a lot more time clearing my head and processing my emotions. Never in my life would I have imagined Nasir and I in such an intimate position. What the hell am I even saying? I would have never imagined myself in such a position with any of the alpha triplets. And Alpha Nasir, the very one whose hatred for me holds no bounds, was the first to claim my lips. What an exhilarating moment that was… to have Nasir's lips on mine, to have him hold me close… I didn't know what that feeling was. I have never felt like that before. It was scary but exciting. My heart pounded so harshly against my chest, I thought it was going

    TRINITYThe 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.“It’s not what you thin

    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.

    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
