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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Chapter Twenty Nine: First Kiss

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

Chapter Thirty: An Alpha’s Visit

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. My fingers curled protectively around my sketchbook. I could feel the warm pressure of the leather cover under my hand, a comforting grip as I
