Chapter 46Halle Wilder~•~“I just need a plan. They’re trying to act like she’s a liability. If I don’t do something quick, things are going to get out of hand.” I pressed my ears against the door, listening to a phone conversation between Lucien and whoever was on the other end of the line as they talked about me. Lucien didn’t tell me what happened, but I heard it from a few members of his staff at the house. My father sent his men to attack people at the club. Most of them felt it was my fault. Some people even saw me as an inside man who was feeding my father with information. It was clear that they wanted me gone. I didn’t belong to their pack, they would always see me as an intruder, the enemy’s daughter. I had no place in the Crescent Moon pack. My eyes burned with unshed tears, but I couldn’t let them fall. I was lost in my thoughts and didn’t hear Lucien’s footsteps approaching the door. When the door swung open, I staggered backward. “Oh my goodness! How long have
Chapter 45Lucien Thorne~•~My breath caught in my throat.“Grimm, what do you mean?” I asked, taking a few steps closer to him. “What happened? And what does it have to do with Halle?” He groaned. “Don’t ask me dumb questions, Lucien. Just take that girl back to her pack.” He replied, his voice laced with disdain. “You know damn well she can’t go back there.” Grimm scoffed, holding on to his ribs. “That’s not our problem!” He snapped. “Ever since you brought her here, it’s been one problem or the other!” He was just beating around the bush. And at that point, I honestly didn’t care to understand what he was saying. I just wanted to find him help. Just as I turned around to find the manager, the doctor walked into the office. I let out a relieved sigh. “What took you so long?” “I’m sorry.” He said as he walked past me with his first aid box. Letting out a scoff, I turned around and walked out of the office. The manager was standing outside, his eyes filled with panic. “What h
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
