Trinity POV: Trinity Is Payment?

I silently compute the dynamic in my mind: Lupe came here to enlist my parents' help to track me down, only to hit a wall when they admitted they were out of the loop and couldn't reach me either.

How pathetic.

"It was me," Lupe admits, his voice sounding tight. "I was that friend . . . but I didn't set her up! That's exactly what I need to explain to her, but I can't reach her anymore. Her phone is off. No one knows where she is—"

    Trinity’s POV: A Running CircleI curse under my breath as I pace along the edge of the road. I scan desperately for a passing cab.Today's entire expedition was an unmitigated disaster. The unexpected appearance of Lupe Boyer at my parents' house completely dismantled my plan. I had intended to confront my parents face-to-face, to back them into a corner and force them to answer my questions about my true lineage. Instead, Lupe’s presence turned the tables, robbing me of the emotional leverage I needed. Before my parents could explain a single question, Lupe would have hijacked the room with his own invasive agenda. He would have flat-out suspected my identity if I stayed another asked questions about blood group. And to top it all off, he ruined my transport.I keep walking until I reach the main intersection. As I pause to check for traffic, my eyes sights a familiar building across the street: the Child Support Foundation building. It was the very first philanthropic project Ju

How pathetic."It was me," Lupe admits, his voice sounding tight. "I was that friend . . . but I didn't set her up! That's exactly what I need to explain to her, but I can't reach her anymore. Her phone is off. No one knows where she is—""Emily mentioned a pack territory not far from here," I offer casually.He shakes his head with a frustrating knot between his brows. "Someone checked on that . . . she's not there either."I suppress a smirk. He must be talking about Julian riding out to Goldrun with Cassius. I wonder how Mabel is coping with two Alphas invading her house now. I begin to slice another bread. I might as well eat enough and ask the questions. "So . . . what did you actually do to her?" I ask Lupe. "Nothing major. Just a small misunderstand

    Trinity’s POV: The Secrets Of LupeI sit in the living room that always smelled of my mother’s baking, and still does now.My father, Corbin, and Lupe are sitting opposite me on our old couches. Both men look unnerved and I don't understand why. My father is slowly rubbing his palms together. He looks at me every few seconds. Lupe takes brief peeks at me too every few minutes, his brow furrowed. He hasn't said a word since he finally recovered from his shock outside.I sit on the edge of the couch facing them wearing a meek persona. I offer both of them a shy smile. "Your house is beautiful, sir."My dad smiles back, nodding. "Thank you."In the adjoining kitchen, my mother is bustling around. I can hear her rummaging through cabinets and clattering sheet pans. The sweet aroma of nutmeg drifts through the air. That's a giveaway that something fresh from the oven is on its way to the living room. I used to adore her baking.Lupe breaks the silence, his tone careful. "So . . . you've

    Trinity’s POV: People Of Juniper Hill Juniper Hill hasn't changed much. The two story house sits by itself on hectares of land. It is wrapped in the cold air that signals impending winter like everywhere else in the country. As the taxi goes round to the front, I gaze at the stables. Someone is riding a stallion in the distance. It isn't my mother or my father. I can't see the person's face. The driver slows the car to a stop near the main house. He looks back at me in the rearview mirror. "You want to get off here, miss?""One moment," I whisper.I pull out a small scent-masking spray, and furtively spritz a light mist over my wrists and neck. The driver is watching the horse rider across the field, so he doesn't notice what I'm doing. On second thought: "Please wait for me," I tell the driver. "You can take me back to town in a few minutes.""No problem," the man says and switches off the ignition.I don't even know what I'm going to say if I end up face-to-face with either of m

    Trinity’s POV: Back Where It All BeganMarion thinks he's looking at Vivian?If that's the case, let's play along, won't we? I slowly turn around. "Excuse me, did you call me?"Marion stops in his tracks, his face falls. His eyes scan my face—or more appropriately put, my mask. The eager, hopeful smile on his face rapidly contracts into disappointment. The shadow of a former memory lingers in his eyes for a second before vanishing completely."Oh, damn," he mutters with a sheepish chuckle. "My mistake. You . . . you just looked so much like someone I used to know."I smile. "Oh? Is her name Vivian, too?""Now what are the odds of that? Your name is actually Vivian?" he asks. I nod, secretly relishing the idea of messing with Marion’s head for a moment."Wow," he breathes, shaking his head. "Yeah, my friend—well, my ex, actually—yeah, her name was Vivian."What did he just say? I stop smiling, my jaw open and my head working. Did Marion Gutmann—Julian’s friend—just call Vivian, his

    Trinity’s POV: Feeling Like A Fraud The moment my feet hit the concrete sidewalk outside the New York train station, my phone begins to ring."Trinity!" Mabel whispers. "I told you Cassius was going to bug me about where you went! Now he's asking questions, and what's more . . . he brought company!"I come to an abrupt stop on the sidewalk. A woman pushing a stroller with a tiny, bug-eyed dog almost crashes into me."Watch it!" she snaps."Sorry," I whisper, stepping aside against the wall of a storefront. I press the phone tighter to my cheek. "Mabel, who is he with?""He's with you-know-who." Mabel sounds terrified. And now my hands are shaking too. My throat is suddenly pregnant with something. "Julian??" I whisper too. "Affirmative," she says, her voice trembling. "What am I supposed to do? I don't want to be stuck in this house with him alone!""He's inside the house?" I ask, my voice rising in panic. "Julian is in the house right now??""What was I supposed to do, Trinity?”
