HIDDEN HOWL Chapter seven: A Warm Welcome
TRINITYThe sharp clang of metal echoed through the grand marble halls as the palace guards led me toward the towering iron gates. My breath hitched with every step, the cold air biting my skin. This was it—the end of my time within the palace walls. I have never felt more relieved. Right?It had to be relief because I could not stand anymore of this madness. So why did I feel as though I was being torn from an essential part of me? My fingers clenched tightly around the thin fabric of my cloak, trying to stave off the gnawing unease. ..I didn’t dare look back. Not at the gilded chandeliers, not at the intricate tapestries, and certainly not at the jaw dropping alpha triplets. Nadir had left shortly after Alpha Nader. He gave no clue to where he was going, he just stormed out angrily. I suppose he was taking this newfound bound harder than the others.After he had left, Luna Mira had made it clear that I was no longer of any use and had the guards take me away.And away I was tak

TRINITYI lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, heart pounding in my chest. The house is quiet now—too quiet. My aunt and cousins are probably settled in their rooms by now, and I can hear the soft murmur of their voices, the occasional giggle. They’re drifting off to sleep, and with each passing moment, the tension in my chest builds. This is it. Tonight’s the night.Tonight is the night I get out of this hellhole. I am not going to just sit here and wait to get rejected or killed.So, I wait. I have to be sure. Every muscle in my body is coiled tight, ready to spring, but I need the silence. The stillness. I need them to be asleep before I make my move. Finally, the house is silent. No more voices, no more laughter. I wait for a few seconds, holding my breath, and when I’m certain they’re asleep, I slip out from under the covers. My feet barely make a sound on the cold floor. My heart hammers in my chest, too loud, too fast, but I don’t let it stop me. I can’t stop. Not now. I move

TRINITYThe cold, oppressive silence hung heavily in the air, punctuated only by the occasional rustle of fabric as the Alpha triplets—Xerxes, Nasir, and Liam—shifted in their thrones. Their eyes, sharp as blades, were trained on me, unmoving, unforgiving.I could not bring myself to look up at Xerxes. He warned me about this.And just mere hours ago.Yet I did exactly what he told me not to. I am so dead.But how the hell was I supposed to know that I would be caught by Nasir? What on earth was he doing out there by that time anyway?It doesn’t matter. I am the one who has been caught. I am the one in trouble. And I am the one who was going to answer for it.I could feel the weight of their gaze pressing into my skin, each of them silently scrutinizing me. The air felt thick with their disapproval, as if the very space around me was suffocating. I dared not look up; to meet their eyes would be to provoke their wrath further. I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks, my pulse quicken

LIAMI walked beside Selene, the soft crunch of gravel beneath our feet the only sound in the otherwise peaceful palace garden. It was a rare moment of quiet, just the two of us, surrounded by fragrant flowers and the distant hum of the palace. The sun was lower now, casting a soft orange glow on everything, making the world feel warmer, as if trying to make up for the coldness I could feel creeping in from within.One would consider this a romantic setting, and it would have been. Had she been my mate.Or someone I was actually attracted to.Selene’s presence was always uncomfortable in a way. "You’ve been distant lately, Liam," she said, her voice light, but there was a sharpness in it that made my stomach tighten.I glanced at her, trying to keep my expression neutral. “I’ve been busy,” I muttered, not entirely convinced by my own words. Truth be told, I hadn’t been entirely focused on my duties in the past few days. My thoughts kept drifting to the tension between Trinity and me

TRINITYI sat on the edge of my bed, the only sound in the room the quiet sniffles that seemed to come from deep within my chest. My hands clutched the soft blankets around me, but it didn’t bring any comfort. I was suffocating here, trapped in this grand, empty castle, surrounded by walls that weren’t just made of stone, but of expectations. Regret wrapped around me like a second skin, and the weight of it bore down on my shoulders.I had been foolish to return. Foolish to think I could step back into this life as if it hadn’t changed. The city had felt like freedom—clean air, new opportunities, people who didn’t see me as some weakling or embarrassment. But here I was. Back at the Crimson Moon Pack. Back for the Ascension Ceremony, a ridiculous event I never even wanted to be a part of.And look at where it got me.I regretted it the moment I stepped foot back in this place . Every corridor, every room seemed to echo with the weight of my past here, suffocating me further. I coul

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

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

HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Sixty Seven: Secrets Untold
TRINITYA dull ache pulsed through my body as Lily carefully dabbed a cool clothes against my forehead. The events of last night played over in my mind like a nightmare on repeat—cornered by rogues, the fear gripping my heart, the sheer power of Alpha Nader as he tore through them like they were nothing. I had nearly died again. I hated how familiar that feeling was becoming.Alpha Nader stood near the window, his arms crossed, his sharp eyes watching me with a mixture of concern and something else I couldn’t quite place. Perhaps disappointment? I wasn’t sure.“You’re lucky I was nearby,” he finally spoke, his voice calm yet carrying the unmistakable weight of authority.I swallowed, not knowing what to say. Lucky? Maybe. But it didn’t feel that way.A knock at the door pulled my attention away from him, and I turned just as the door creaked open. My breath hitched when I saw the person standing there.“Aunt Lila?” I whispered in disbelief.The last time I had seen my aunt was a month
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Sixty Six: Talk at Golf
XERXES The sun bore down on the sprawling green golf course, but I barely felt its warmth. My hands gripped the golf club tightly as I prepared to take my swing. Around me, the other alphas laughed and joked, their carefree attitudes grating on my nerves. I forced myself to stay composed, but something gnawed at me—a nagging feeling I couldn’t shake. Something was wrong.Last night, sleep had evaded me entirely. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her—Trinity. Alone, vulnerable, surrounded by threats I couldn’t protect her from. Even with the guards stationed around her, I felt restless, helpless. So, I did what I had to: I sent two of my best men back to the palace to get word from her. I needed to know she was safe.But now, standing here amidst laughter and meaningless chatter, the silence in my mind was deafening.“Your turn, Xerxes!” one of the alphas called, snapping me back to reality.I sighed, adjusted my stance, and swung. The ball sailed through the air, landing near the ho
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Sixty Five: Nader's Protection
TRINITYThe cool evening air nipped at my skin as I stepped out of the stables, saying a quick goodbye to Xander. Despite his earlier antics, I couldn’t help but feel lighter after our time together. For once, my mind had been free of fear and worry—if only for a little while.But my brief reprieve didn’t last long.As I walked back toward the palace, lost in thought, I nearly collided with someone coming around the corner. When I looked up, I was met with Luna Mira’s cold, piercing gaze.“Oh, it’s you,” she said, her voice dripping with disdain.I stiffened, taking a step back. “Excuse me, Luna Mira,” I said politely, attempting to move out of her way.She didn’t budge. 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.

HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Sixty Four: Silver horse
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. His sharp
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
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Sixty One: Farewell For Now
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
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Fifty Nine: Unexpected Gentleness
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
