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

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

TRINITYHis lips felt like electricity shooting across my skin. His touch was exhilarating; it brought out a part of me that I never knew existed. This part of me... it was needy; it was desperate. His lips had to be the sweetest thing I have ever tasted. That was a lie; Nasir’s lips were the sweetest I have ever tasted. Never mind; I couldn’t choose between the two.My eyes rolled to the back of my head as Liam trailed kisses down my neck, sucking the sensitive skin between my ear and neck. The moan that left my lips couldn’t be helped. Goosebumps erupted across my skin as he placed featherlike touches all over my body.A gentle gasp left my lips when his hand wrapped around my neck softly yet firmly. His lips sealed mine once again, and our tongues explored each other’s mouths. I noticed that Liam kissed a whole lot more differently than Nasir.Nasir’s kiss was swift, heated, yet lustful. But Liam’s kiss was more intentional. It was curious. He wanted to explore every part of me; h

TRINITYThe dream pulled me under as though I were sinking into the depths of an endless ocean. When I opened my eyes, I was back in the forest. Shadows stretched across the ground, cast by the towering trees that loomed overhead. The air was damp and heavy, carrying the scent of earth and moss.I spun in a slow circle, my breath hitching as I realized where I was. This wasn’t just a dream—it was a memory. The night the rogues attacked me.The growls began, low and menacing, surrounding me from every direction. My heart thundered in my chest as I turned, searching for an escape, but the shadows seemed alive, shifting and moving, hiding the predators stalking me.And then they emerged.Wolves, their eyes glowing with feral hunger, their teeth bared in snarls. They stepped closer, their movements slow and calculated, as though savoring my fear.I stumbled back, the panic rising like a tide, threatening to drown me. “Stay back!” I screamed, though my voice cracked with terror.They didn’

TRINITYThe soft hum of voices carried down the corridor as I approached the royal dining hall. My stomach tightened, partly from hunger and partly from the anxiety that came with crossing paths with the Alpha triplets. I hadn’t planned to come this way, but my feet had carried me here before I realized where I was heading.The scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries wafted through the open doorway, mingling with the low tones of conversation. I paused just outside the room, my fingers clenching the edge of my shawl. I could hear them clearly—the deep timbre of Alpha Nader’s voice, the sharper tones of Luna Mira, and the more familiar, distinct voices of the triplets.Steeling myself, I took a hesitant step forward. When I peeked into the room, the sight before me nearly made me stop in my tracks.The dining table stretched across the room like a centerpiece of opulence, its surface adorned with golden plates, delicate crystal glasses, and an endless array of food. Platters o

TRINITYThe forest was alive, humming with the sounds of rustling leaves, chirping birds, and the occasional snap of a twig beneath our feet. Sunlight filtered through the thick canopy above, dappling the forest floor with golden patches. I walked behind the triplets, my steps quieter and more hesitant than their confident strides. The guards trailed a little farther back, their watchful eyes scanning the surroundings.I couldn’t help but feel the irony of the situation. Not long ago, they’d lashed out at Xander for taking me into the woods without consulting them. Now here they were, doing the exact same thing. The thought made me smirk faintly, but I didn’t voice it. It wasn’t worth the argument.Xerxes turned slightly, his sharp gaze cutting through the trees. “This is different,” he said as if reading my mind. “Xander took you out alone. Without protection. That was reckless.”“And without our consent,” Liam added, his tone lighter than his brother’s but still firm. “We have guard

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
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Fifty Eight: Hide And Seek
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
HIDDEN HOWL Chapter Fifty Seven: A Decision To Be Made
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
