HIDDEN HOWL のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

MAIAI stood in the hallway, my eyes fixed on Nasir as he stepped out of Trinity's room. My heart sank, and a wave of anger washed over me. What was he doing with her? I demanded to know, my voice trembling with rage. That damn Trinity. How dare she just pop out of nowhere and threaten to steal what my sisters and I have worked so long to achieve. I would not let this happen, not under my watch.I could feel my pulse racing, and my palms grew sweaty as I tried to process what I had just seen."Nasir, what are you doing with her?" I asked, trying to keep my emotions in check. I took a step closer to him, my eyes blazing with intensity. I wanted to see the guilt written all over his face, but there was none. He didn't even have the decency to look away.Nasir turned to face me, his expression cold and detached. "I don't have time for an interrogation, Maia," he said, pushing me to the side. His touch was like a slap in the face, and I felt a sting of pain. I couldn't believe he was t

TRINITYThe sun was beginning its slow descent, casting soft golden hues across the garden. I sank deeper into the plush grass, the scent of blooming flowers and fresh earth filling my senses. This was my haven, a secret space where no one could find me—away from everything, from the pressures of my role, from the expectations that weighed on me.In my hands, I held the book I had stolen from the secret library. It was bound in dark leather, and its pages crackled with age. I had barely managed to slip it from its hidden resting place without anyone noticing, and now I was finally going to read it. The title was unassuming, but the stories it held, the knowledge it promised, stirred something deep within me.It was about the wolves and their ancient connection to the moon goddess. My heart raced as I opened to the first page, my eyes scanning the words in the dimming light. The tales spoke of devotion, of how the wolves would howl to the moon to honor her, their goddess, who granted t

TRINITYI paced back and forth in front of the door, my fingers clutching at the sleeves of my sweater. The harsh, rhythmic sound of my boots against the stone floor echoed in the hallway, making it impossible to ignore the tension that thickened the air around me. Every second felt like a minute, every minute like an hour. Inside, I knew the Alpha triplets were with the pack doctor, working on Xander. I wanted to knock on the door, demand to see him, to make sure he was okay, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was afraid of what I might hear.My heart was pounding in my chest, the fear of what might have happened to Xander clawing at me. He was my friend, my protector, he couldn’t be gone.Amara's sharp gaze burned through me, her eyes narrowed in suspicion, her posture tense. Maia and Selene weren’t much better. The three of them exchanged silent looks, as though forming some unspoken alliance against me. My breath caught in my throat as I caught glimpses of their judgmental

NASIR I circled Liam, my eyes locked on his as we spared in the training room. The sound of our breathing and the thud of our feet on the mat filled the air. I landed a swift kick to his stomach, and he doubled over, gasping for breath. I couldn't help but mock him, "You're so slow, little brother. I'm starting to think you're more of a hindrance than a help."Liam rolled his eyes, his expression annoyed. "I'm only thirty minutes younger than you, Nasir. Don't act like you're so much better than me." He stood up straight, his chest heaving, and his eyes flashing with anger. His face was red, and his fists were clenched at his sides.I chuckled, "Oh, but I'm the stronger, faster, and smarter one. You're just...well, you're just Liam." I said to him, enjoying the feeling of superiority. Even though Xerxes was known to be the stronger one, I have always derived pleasure in beating him during our sparring sessions. It was a role I took seriously, and I wasn't about to let Liam forget i

TRINITY The sun was beginning to dip behind the distant hills, casting a golden glow across the kingdom. I sat perched on the balcony, the cool evening breeze tugging at my hair, as I gently sketched the sprawling view before me. The castle spires in the distance, the winding paths of the village, and the lush green fields rolling toward the horizon—there was something calming about it all. My pencil move fluidly across the page, capturing it as best as I could.It wasn’t often I got moments like this, moments when I could just be, without any responsibilities pressing on my shoulders. The weight of the kingdom seemed far away as I let myself sink into the rhythm of drawing, my only focus was the lines and shapes forming on the paper.Then, a voice broke the silence."Trinity."I froze, my heart skipping a beat as my first instinct kicked in. My fingers curled protectively around my sketchbook. I could feel the warm pressure of the leather cover under my hand, a comforting grip as I
