Semua Bab HIDDEN HOWL: Bab 31 - Bab 40

TRINITYThe scent of pine and cedar filled the grand balcony as I fell to my knees, my forehead pressing against the cold stone floor. My heart raced in my chest, not from fear but from the sheer weight of Alpha Nader’s presence. His aura wasn’t oppressive, yet it demanded submission in a way that was impossible to ignore. It was primal, instinctive.“Good morning, Alpha Nader,” I murmured, keeping my voice steady and reverent. “Forgive me, I did not know you would be here at this time.”“Rise, Trinity,” he said, his deep voice cutting through the crisp morning air like a blade. There was no malice in it, only authority softened by an underlying warmth. “There’s no need for you to bow like some peasant. Who knows, soon we might be family.”Family. The word hung in the air like a challenge, wrapping itself around my thoughts and constricting my chest. There has never been a point in my life I thought the Vale family to become mine. Hell, I didn't even see the Silvershades as my famil

LIAMThe room was thick with tension, like the air before a storm. I sat at the head of the oak table, my fingers drumming a restless rhythm. Across from me, Nasir lounged in his chair, his posture deceptively relaxed. He didn’t even try to mask his smug expression, and it grated on me. I hated how casual he was acting after what he had just done. He put his hands on Trinity.And he dares to act like he despises her. My brother could be quite hypocritical, it disgusted me.Beside him, Xerxes looked like a bomb waiting to explode. His jaw was clenched so tightly I could see the veins bulging in his neck.We were supposed to be discussing pack business, but my mind was elsewhere. I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d seen earlier—Nasir kissing Trinity. The way his hands gripped her waist, the way she melted into him. It shouldn’t have bothered me. Trinity wasn’t mine alone. She was ours, a shared mate. Yet, betrayal simmered under my skin, its heat impossible to ignore.“The patrols

TRINITYThe soft glow of my bedside lamp cast a warm light over my room, but it did little to ease the storm brewing in my chest. I sat cross-legged on the bed, phone pressed tightly to my ear as Cara’s voice filled the silence. Talking to her had always been a comfort, but tonight, even her usual cheer couldn’t drown out the turmoil I felt.“Wait,” Cara said, her tone sharp with disbelief. “You kissed Nasir? Trinity, you kissed him?”I groaned, pressing a hand to my forehead. “I didn't kiss him!”“Okay, so he kissed you?” she asked, and I pursed my lips for a moment.“Well, no. Not exactly…”“Then what the bloody hell happened?!” she snapped, impatience and curiosity in her tone.“Relax,Okay? I guess we kind of kissed each other? I don't know, it all just happened so fast,” I said all in one breath, placing a hand over my head. Care does not say anything and her silence scares me more than the kiss itself.Heaven knows what is going through that woman’s head.“It’s not what you thin

TRINITY The forest loomed ahead, an endless expanse of towering trees that seemed to swallow the last rays of sunlight. The air smelled earthy and alive, the rich scent of moss and decaying leaves mixing with the faint sweetness of blooming flowers. It should have been beautiful, serene even, but all I could feel was a gnawing unease that twisted my stomach into knots.Xander walked ahead of me, his tall frame moving with an effortless grace I could never hope to match. His confidence was a stark contrast to the anxiety simmering in my chest, and the way he moved, like the forest itself bent to his will, only made me more nervous.“Xander,” I called out, stopping just short of the tree line. My voice trembled, betraying the fear I’d tried to mask. “Are you absolutely sure this is a good idea? I mean… you do remember I don’t have a wolf, right?”He stopped and turned to face me, his amber eyes catching the fading light in a way that made them seem to glow. There was no trace of annoya

LIAMThe room was heavy with silence, the kind that pressed down on your chest and made it hard to breathe. I stood by Trinity’s bedside, my arms hanging uselessly at my sides, my fingers twitching with the need to do something. Anything. But there was nothing I could do.She looked so fragile lying there, her pale skin almost blending into the stark white sheets. Her dark lashes fanned against her cheeks, and her chest rose and fell in shallow, uneven breaths. The sight of her like this—unmoving, vulnerable—made my gut twist in a way I couldn’t explain. I hated it. I hated how helpless I felt, how useless I was.Xander leaned against the doorframe, his usual carefree demeanor replaced with something raw and unguarded. His foot tapped against the hardwood floor, the sound grating on my nerves, but I didn’t say anything. His fear was written all over him. The way his jaw clenched, the way his arms tightened across his chest like they could hold him together. He blamed himself, and hone
