All Chapters of HIDDEN HOWL: Chapter 131 - Chapter 139

Zion’s POVThe slam of the door against the wall echoed down the hallway, sharp enough to make my wolf bristle. I’d been pacing outside Trinity’s chambers for the better part of ten minutes, restless, fighting the urge to interrupt whatever was happening inside and at the moment that scent rolled out into the corridor, my body locked up.No, that couldn’t be right and my hand hovered barely above the doorframe, fingers shaking and torn between entering or running in the opposite direction. The weight of recognition fell into my chest like a rock. My heart ached, then raced so fast it made my head spin.I pushed the door open wider, eyes locking on the individuals inside.Nasir was on the other side, half-changed, claws out, shoulders shaking with rage or fear and I couldn't say which. Trinity had her arms around him, her face pale but her eyes sharp, darting back and forth between him and the figure in the doorway and the figure...gods have mercy on us all.The voice came first, low a

Morgana's POVDarkness was nothing, It was breathtaking. It was a beat, a pulse that resonated in tandem with mine.For centuries, they had taught me still, hidden beneath their bone and blood seals, Fools. All they could manage to do was trap the storm. And storms don't die.... they wait.I strode across the chapel floor, boots echoing off shattered marble and the moon filtered through a broken window, catching on the jagged edges of runes scorched into the stone. My rune, They still trembled with the memory of fire, proof that my prison once had stood impenetrable.No longer.A shadow trailed along the wall beside me, eyes opening where eyes should not exist. My servant whisper made me human.Where is she?" My voice breathed out like silk winding around the air.The shadow growled, a tongue older than wolves, Words slithered into my head.Close guarded and Kept safe by those who betrayed you.A smile twisted my lips. Lucian and Nasir always play as kings when they are no more than a

Trinity's POVFire....that was what it felt like. Not the golden kind that flickered in fireplaces but the one that devoured forests, burning and merciless. It ripped through every vein, reducing flesh and bone to ashes, destroying reason."No!" The scream tore out of me but it wasn't mine, it was a strangled one as Nasir's arms clamped over me like steel chains, his voice a guttural snarl in my ear "Fight her, Trinity. Stay with me and don't let her in!"But Morgana was already there and a voice crept into my mind like a snake, smooth and lethal. "Why struggle?" he asked "You've always been weak, always a stranger and let me show you what true power is.My chest heaved, my fingernails clawing at my own skin like i might rend her from it "Get out of my head"Nasir's grip turned firm, holding me in place, his scent inundating my senses with dirt, storm and wolf "Think about me alone, you hear me, doll? You're mine and not hers" i saidBut Morgana laughed. Not out loud inside me. Every

Nasir's POVThe world froze the moment her hand burst forth, black fire charring in a mad arc and for an impossible beat, I could've sworn to see every flicker of that damned flame albeit, alive, hungry and writhing with Morgana's venom. It wasn't Trinity, it couldn't be but it was her hand, her fingers and her power."Trinity" The word tore from my mouth like a war cry and my wolf churned inside me, struggling against my ribs, demanding I protect her at all costs. My instincts were screaming at me to dodge, to survive but my heart anchored me to the ground and to flee would be to let Morgana believe she had already won. The fire hit and it wasn't sun-warmth or flame-burning from a regular fire, this was not the same, it burrowed inside the skin, clawing for bone, drawing breath in blasphemies that twined themselves around my veins and my knees buckled but i straightened them, clenching teeth so hard i thought they'd break.Out of the smoke haze, her gaze crossed with mine. Not Morga

Nasir's POVHer voice is weak just like a whisper but hers. Trinity's voice."Hold on, Nasir… hold on" she saidThe voice tore through me like lightning cutting through darkness above. In one instant, I forgot shadows closing around me, forgot poison dripping off Morgana's lips, forgot the choking shroud of hopelessness she was trying to wrap me in.She was alive, then the bond between us flickered weakly like embers smoldering beneath ash but embers would continue to smolder. Embers would continue to set the darkness alight.I snarled at eyes that were not hers but still claimed her flesh "I heard her" I growled, my voice harsh and low with rebellion "You don't claim her, Morgana. You never will"Her smirk faltered for the first time and by mere hair's breadth but I saw it and I felt it then a crack in her ever-present haughtiness."You believe a whisper will rescue you?" she spat, shadows curling like snakes around her fingertips. "She's weak. She's floundering and i'm the one keepi
