Chapter Twenty Seven: Kindest Words She Has Ever Heard

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-30 15:43:09

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.

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Eighty Three: A Dance with the Devil

    Trinity’s POVThe silence that followed Xerxes’s words to Alpha Caelum was deafening. You could almost feel the weight of everyone’s held breath hovering in the air like a ghost. The air was thick with anticipation and dread. Despite the grin on Alpha Caelum’s lips, I could feel the rage radiating from his pores. He was not going to let any form of disrespect just slide. And we all knew that. Nasir and Liam knew that as well. One could easily tell that they were more than ready to back up their brother. It was at that moment that I realized the music had stopped, even the servants present had a bead of sweat trickling down their heads.We were all seconds away from witnessing a potential blood bath. But thankfully, that doesn’t happen.Alpha Nader was the first to speak, breaking the silence that could have led to an all out war. I guess Alpha Nader didn’t want the peace he had just publicly declared to be over so soon. His voice was calm but sharp, like the edge of a dagger. “Xerx

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Eighty Two: The Invitation

    Trinity’s POVThere was something about Alpha Caelum’s eyes that kept replaying in my mind like a song I couldn’t shake. A melody threaded with warning, darkness, and something ancient. The way he looked at me during the alliance announcement… it wasn’t just curiosity. It was like he saw right through me. Or worse—recognized something I didn’t even know was there.I paced the length of my room, arms crossed, still dressed in the same comfortable clothes I’d been wearing when I collapsed into the library earlier. The day had been long, and I had spent most of it buried in books, hunting answers I couldn’t seem to find. But now, my mind was locked on Alpha Caelum and that unsettling energy radiating from him.Why would a man like him—a rumored tyrant, a war-hardened alpha—suddenly want peace? And why, out of everyone, had he stared at me like that?I was certain that I have never met the man before, but he looked at me like he knew me.I was still lost in thought when a knock came at th

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Eighty One; The Man Beside the Luna

    Trinity’s POVThe scent of old parchment and aged ink was the first thing I inhaled when I woke up.A book was flopped open across my stomach, another pressed beneath my cheek, and several others scattered around me like fallen soldiers from an all-night war I clearly lost. My neck ached. My lower back protested as I sat up, blinking sleep from my eyes. The dim morning light filtered through the curtains, casting golden shadows across the open pages.I sighed.Nothing. Still nothing.Every book I devoured in the last forty-eight hours had either skimmed over the ancient bloodlines or talked in circles around myths and legends that couldn’t possibly explain what I’d done at the graveyard. Not one mention of wolves with glowing eyes or energy bursts that could level a battlefield.And definitely no information about my parents’ deaths. Just more dead ends.I stood, stretching until my joints popped, and rubbed my temples. Maybe the answers weren’t in books. Maybe they were buried with t

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Eighty: The Unknown and the Unwelcome

    Xerxes’ POVI have always been one to enjoy silence,but not this time. This time, it was absolutely tormenting. The entire room was quiet. Too quiet.I stood with my arms crossed at the far corner of Trinity’s bedroom, every muscle in my body tight as the pack doctor adjusted his spectacles for the third damn time. If he does it one more time, I swear on everything I hold dear that not even the moon goddess herself could stop me from breaking those Liam sat on the edge of her bed, hands clasped between his knees. Nasir leaned against the wall, unreadable. Trinity was seated in the middle, her face calm, but I could feel the anxiety humming from her like a second heartbeat.The doctor cleared his throat. Again. He looked almost nervous, that couldn't be a good sign. The test he conducted either had two outcomes: He is an incompetent fool who couldn't find what was wrong with her, or he was competent and knew exactly what was wrong with her.And it wasn't good.Either way, I was losing

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter 79: The revelation at the garden 

    Trinity's POV I woke to the empty stretch of silk sheets beside me. The realization hit me like a cybertruck, the warmth was gone and so was he.I reached across the bed anyway, fingers curling into the dent left by Nasir’s body. Disappointment tightened something in my chest. I didn’t know why I expected him to stay.Maybe because, for the first time in forever, I hadn’t woken up from a nightmare. Maybe because his arms around me had felt safer than any walls ever had. It filled me with so much comfort, I never wanted it to end.But of course, good things never last.I sighed, dragging myself out of bed. The early sunlight filtered through the curtains in lazy gold streaks. Everything felt too quiet.The hot spray of the shower didn’t ease the ache behind my ribs. My muscles remembered the way I had collapsed between my parents’ graves. My heart remembered too.When I stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a robe, I moved toward my closet, towel drying my hair with one hand. I was

  • HIDDEN HOWL   Chapter Seventy Eight: Shadows Behind the Crown 

    Luna Mira’s POVMy room glowed with golden light as the sun sank beyond the horizon, washing my bedroom in shades of amber and blood-red. I stood before the tall mirror, brushing my fingers over the embroidered collar of my ceremonial gown—midnight blue velvet threaded with silver crescent moons. Each stitch shimmered with the aura of power I’d earned, fought for, bled for. My makeup was done by me, no one in the blasted pack could do it to perfection, not like me. No one could do anything like me. My reflection held no sign of weakness, no crack in the mask. Only poise. Control. Purpose.Just like how it has been for years.And yet, beneath it all, something twisted in my chest. A nagging rage that wanted me to scream and destroy everything in sight. And it was all because of a single reason.Trinity survived.I thought I had hired the best hunters to bring me her head, but it seems they weren't as good as they claimed.I had seen it myself—her limp body in Xerxes’ arms, her skin u
