Chapter 44Lucien Thorne~•~Ever since I set eyes on Halle, I had pictured her in bed, thinking about how having sex with her would feel. The first time I kissed her, it felt so good. But I had to stop because I didn’t want my emotions to get in the way of my initial revenge plans. But now that I wasn’t using her as a pawn in my game anymore, I didn’t mind fully exploring her body. Things were getting intense between us, and I was already getting hard. But the moment was ruined by a knock on the door. I let out a low groan. Who the fuck was at the door? “Just ignore them,” I said as I continued sliding my hand into her pussy. Halle whimpered in response, pulling me closer with one hand and running her fingers through my hair with the other. I lifted her and placed her on the bed. But before I could do anything else, the knock came again, louder. “Fuck.” I whispered in her ear. “Who do you think it is?” Halle shrugged. “I don’t know, just check.” I let out a deep sigh and str
Chapter 43Halle Wilder ~•~It had been three weeks since I escaped my father’s attempt to end my life, but the wounds from his betrayal still felt fresh. The betrayal didn’t only come from my father. It also came from my sister. Even after knowing about everything he did to me, she still chose him over me. Sometimes, I wondered if she knew what she was doing or if she was just too naive to accept the fact that her father was a terrible person. I mean, I used to think the same way too. I was living in denial and didn’t want to accept that the man I had looked up to wasn’t who I thought he was. I thought the ache of the betrayal would fade with time, but instead, it grew worse. I had constant nightmares — my father’s words echoed in my head, telling me I was better off gone. In my dreams, he still tried to kill me and I found it hard to escape. But luckily enough, I always jolted up before he could harm me. It wasn’t going to be easy to move on from the pain if I didn’t stop hav
Chapter 42Halle Wilder ~•~When Lucien and I finally got to the car, Ivy dashed out immediately and pulled me into a warm embrace. “Oh my goodness, Halle. I was scared.” She admitted, her voice cracked with emotion. I forced a smile. “I’m okay now.” She broke the hug and looked at me. “Are you sure? I know it must’ve been so traumatic for you.” She said, letting out a deep sigh. “Your father actually tried to kill you?” I nodded. “Yes, I still can’t believe it. It feels just like a movie.” She pulled me into another hug. “Did he say why?” She asked, her voice laced with curiosity. “Where is he?” I rolled my eyes. “I don’t even want to think about it right now.” “Okay, we will talk about it later,” Ivy replied, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. “Chloe is in the car. She was the one who brought us to this location.” As soon as she mentioned Chloe’s name, she stepped out of the car. “Hey.” She said, her voice measured. “How are you?” “How did you know about this plac
Chapter 41Lucien Thorne~•~I knew Wilder was planning on killing his daughter, but I was still surprised to see that he was actually going through with his plan. Why did he hate her so much? Halle didn’t even look like someone who caused him much trouble. I just couldn’t understand why he would go to great lengths to see her gone. I felt satisfied as I punched him and watched it fall to the ground. I had to take a step back because if I couldn’t control myself, I would have sent him to his maker. I wanted to see Wilder gone. He had committed so many atrocities, but I didn’t want him to go out so easily. I wanted him to suffer first. And shooting him in the leg was the first step. Even as helpless as he looked, he still had a smug look on his face. How couldn’t Halle see right through him all this while? “Do you think this changes anything? You’re just putting yourself in danger.” He said through gritted teeth. “As for Chloe, I’m going to find a way to end her life. One way or
Chapter 40Halle Wilder~•~“Why do you want me dead? Is it because I don’t have a wolf?” I asked, my throat tightening and eyes burning with unshed tears. He didn’t hesitate before he responded. “I guess you’ll never know.” He reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun. My eyes grew wide in shock. So he really wanted to kill me. I didn’t even know if I should beg for my life or not. From the look in his eyes, I knew that his mind was already made up. What was even the point of staying in a world where nobody wanted me? I was constantly being betrayed by my family. Maybe it was best for him to kill me. I didn’t have anything to live for anymore. “That’s the least you can do right now.” I breathed, looking up at him. “Just tell me the reason…..why do you hate me so much?” He didn’t say anything, he just lifted the gun and pointed it at my head. I wiped off a lone tear that travelled down my face. “Why did you pretend to love me all those years? Why did you tolerate me for s
Chapter 39Lucien Thorne~•~“You literally told me you wouldn’t contact me again less than fifteen minutes ago.” He groaned as he answered the phone. I exhaled sharply. “I’m sorry, but I need one last thing.” “What is that?” “How’s the security like in the house? Do they have cameras? Do you think I can take down every one of them?” I asked, rubbing my temple. “There should be a total of five guys in the house. He doesn’t really have security in the house.” He replied, his voice low. “But please, stop calling me. I don’t want him to find out that I’ve been feeding you with information.” “I’ll try not to call you,” I replied. “But if they aren’t in the house, where else do you think he’ll take her?” I asked, hoping he would know. He was silent for a while. “I honestly have no idea.” Before I could even say anything else, the line disconnected. “Fuck!” I cursed through gritted teeth. I was already parked in front of Halle’s house. But I couldn’t just go inside because I didn’
