Semua Bab HIDDEN HOWL: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Liam's POVI felt my jaw clench at the mention of Caelum's name. I didn’t believe he had just upped and changed his ways all of a sudden. Yet here he was, thoughtfully sending his oldest healer to check on Trinity while we'd been too consumed with our own desires to remember she might be injured.Trinity wrapped her arms around herself, suddenly seeming smaller and more vulnerable than she had moments before when we'd been establishing our dominance. "I'm fine, really. Just a few scratches.""Nonsense, dear," Helen said, stepping into the room with her medical bag, her movements were efficient. "You were in combat with rogues. Even the smallest wound can become infected if not properly treated." Her voice carried the authority of someone who'd spent decades treating injured wolves, and I found myself grateful for Alpha Caelum's foresight, even if I didn't trust his motives.Nasir moved to stand beside Trinity, his protective instincts clearly warring with the dominant energy that had

Alpha Caelum's POVLuna Mira's voice cut through the evening air like a blade, sharp and venomous as she paced before me in my private study. Her regal midnight blue gown swept the floor with each agitated step, the silver embroidery catching the lamplight as she gestured wildly with her hands."You should have just let her die!" she hissed, her perfectly composed mask finally slipping to reveal the ugly hatred beneath. "All you had to do was nothing, Caelum. Nothing! And that wolfless little parasite would have been out of our lives forever."I took in her elaborate attire—the expensive silk, the intricate beadwork, the way she held herself like royalty even in her fury. I couldn't help but laugh inwardly at the irony. Here she was, draped in all the trappings of nobility and grace, yet she was even more evil than I was. To think that she was going through all this trouble, orchestrating elaborate schemes and forming dangerous alliances, all to get rid of one supposedly powerless

Trinity's POVThe time we were meant to spend at the Shadow Ridge Pack was over, and now we were headed back home. The familiar sight of Vale Pack's territory should have been comforting, but as our convoy of vehicles rolled through the gates, I still felt that familiar unease settling in my stomach like a stone. But as our car pulled up to the main palace, I felt my spirits lift considerably when I spotted a familiar figure waiting on the front steps.Xander.Even from a distance, I could see his trademark lopsided grin and the way he was casually leaning against one of the marble columns like he owned the place. The sight of him was like a breath of fresh air."Well, well, well," he called out as I climbed out of the car, his voice carrying that familiar note of playful sarcasm that I'd missed more than I cared to admit. "Look what the cats dragged in. And here I thought you'd finally come to your senses and run away to join a nice, peaceful circus or something."I couldn't help b

Trinity's POV"Who is it?" I called out, my hand hovering over the door handle. After everything that had happened recently, I wasn't taking any chances with unexpected visitors."It's Lily," came the familiar, gentle voice from the other side. "Xander told me you were back, and I knew you must be tired as hell."Relief flooded through me as I quickly opened the door to find Lily standing in the hallway with a warm smile and a steaming mug in her hands. Her auburn hair was pulled back in a loose braid, and she was wearing one of her typical earth-tone sweaters that somehow always made her look both professional and approachable."Lily!" I beamed, genuinely happy to see her friendly face. "Come in, please."She stepped into my room, immediately making the space feel warmer and more welcoming just by her presence. "I brought you some chamomile tea," she said, offering me the mug. "Thought you might need something soothing after your trip."I mentally shook my head at Xander’s thoughtfu

Trinity's POVLily smiled at me, and for a moment, I felt a spark of hope. Maybe there were answers to be found, maybe I wasn't as lost as I'd thought. But then reality hit me like a cold splash of water, and I frowned as a troubling thought crept into my mind."But how can I have been hexed?" I asked, confusion lacing my voice. "I haven't come across any witches lately. I mean, wouldn't I know if I'd met someone capable of casting spells on me?"Lily's expression grew more serious as she considered my question. "You never know with witches, Trinity. They're incredibly secretive creatures, and they certainly don't live openly in werewolf packs. Most keep to themselves in hidden covens or blend into human society where they can practice without detection."“But if the hex was placed on me back in the city, then… Why is it just manifesting now?”“That’s the scary part, Trinity. I don’t think you were hexed in the city. Hexes don’t take too long to manifest.”“Oh my God! What the heck!?”
