Chapter 56

Halle Wilder

~•~

I told myself not to eavesdrop. Not to listen to Lucien’s conversation.

I forced myself to stop, but I just couldn’t.

And my chest tightened as I listened.

‘Please, I just need some time. I promise you, I’m going to take care of the Wilder situation.’

His words replayed in my head as I stood at the door leading to the balcony. I didn’t even know how to feel anymore.

At that moment, I just wanted to end my life.

I was causing so much trouble for everyone.

My father was causing so much trouble.

Either way, my life was going to end.

I still remember how Grimm always looked at me. He didn’t care to hide the fact that he wanted me gone. And I knew that he wouldn’t hesitate to end my father’s life.

And that automatically meant ending my life.

Just as I leaned back on the wall, Lucien walked into the room. His eyes grew wide in shock as he saw me. “Halle, how long have you been standing here for?”

I shrugged. “Long enough to know that my father has cr

    Chapter 70Halle Wilder ~•~“Halle, where the fuck are you?” Ivy asked as soon as I answered the phone. “Chill, I’m at the hotel. Why do you sound so frantic?” I asked, sitting upright on the bed. “What is the matter?” I added, curious to know. “Your boyfriend called me.” “Who?” My brows furrowed. “Lucien?” “Of course, who else?” I let out a deep sigh, rubbing my temple. “Why did he have to call you?” I rolled my eyes even though she couldn’t see me. “I’m sorry he had to drag you into the middle.” “Why did you leave? Because of the full moon?” She asked, her tone softer. “Yeah,” I answered, my voice low. “It wasn’t like I even shut him out completely. I responded to his texts a few times.” I still had no idea how he found out that I was at the Ashwood hotel. When I saw that message, I even contemplated switching hotels. “A few times aren’t enough. He feels you are seeing someone else.” Ivy’s response made me laugh. “Seeing someone else?” I asked, incredulous. “Yes, Halle.

    Chapter 69Lucien Thorne ~•~When I couldn’t find Halle in her room, I panicked for a second. But I decided to stay calm and reach out to her instead. The full moon was about to rise, and the pack was already gathering in the woods. Everyone was waiting for me but I couldn’t leave without her. I pulled out my phone and called her. It rang a few times but she didn’t respond. I still remember how worried I was the first time she disappeared during a full moon. Just as I was about to call her again, I received a text from her. [ I’m out for a run, I’ll see you later.] A relieved sigh escaped my lips. At least, she was alive and okay. But why didn’t she tell me that she was leaving the house? I sent her a response and shoved my phone into my pocket and left her room. I decided to head back to my room and prepare for the full moon. After having a quick shower, I got dressed in a comfortable shirt and shorts. By the time I was done, I went back to check on Halle. I saw an empty

    Chapter 68Halle Wilder ~•~It was going to be a full moon again. I still hadn’t told Lucien about my condition. Every time I thought about telling him about it, the words got stuck in my throat. Lucien seemed like he was going to be understanding about the situation, but I was scared. I was scared that he would look at me differently. The thought about everything was suffocating me. I didn’t want him to see me as a weak girl, I didn’t want him to know that I was cursed. Most importantly, I didn’t want anyone else to find out about the fact that I didn’t have a wolf. They would lose all the respect they had for me as Lucien’s mate. I hated that I had been lying to him all this time. But I didn’t have a choice. Maybe one day, I would be brave enough to tell him about it. But for now, it was my little secret. I would just leave the house before it was time for everyone to go into the woods. The last time, I was with Ivy. But this time around, I would stay on my own at the hot

    Chapter 67Lucien Thorne ~•~I expected everything to turn back to normal after the Wilder problem was solved. But I was wrong. There was a rift between me and Grimm. Our relationship had taken a sharp turn the moment he felt I chose Halle over him. I could see the disappointment in his eyes whenever we crossed paths. We usually spent most of our time together, but it wasn’t like that anymore. Grimm only saw me when it was really necessary. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that he was avoiding me. For the past few weeks, I had given him space. But I was tired of living that way. I missed my best friend and wanted to fix our relationship. After spending time with Halle in her room, I decided to head over to Grimm’s house. Even if he never welcomed me into his home, I still showed up. “What are you doing here?” He asked as he saw me in his living room. “How long are you going to ignore me for?” I swallowed hard, my gaze fixed on him. “Our pack is safe now. There’s nothing to worr

    Chapter 66Halle Wilder~•~“But do you think I should go to the funeral?” I asked Ivy, my voice hollow. “I’m not sure that’s a good idea.” Her soft voice echoed from the other end of the line. “Going there might put a target on your back all over again.” I let out a deep sigh. “But it’ll be a good chance to see my mother. I haven’t seen her for over a year.” I said, pacing around the length of the room. “Is it even worth it? I mean, I don’t think she’s your biggest fan right now. Just forget about the funeral. I can hang out with you on that day….if you need emotional support.” The funeral was in two days. It had been over a week since my father died. At first, the days were really hard for me. But when I heard about Chloe, I felt a little bit relieved. Chloe didn’t die. Apparently, my mother found out about what we were up to from the witch who unlinked my life from my father’s. She made sure the witch found another way to do it without putting Chloe’s life in danger. Even if

    Chapter 65Halle Wilder~•~Lucien knew I was sad, so he tried to distract me with a day filled with different activities. He still wanted the Paris trip to happen before we head back home. But throughout the day, I kept on thinking about my sister. The uncertainty about the entire situation made my stomach churn. I had no idea if she was even alive or dead. As for my father, I hoped he was already rotting in hell. “Lose this attitude before we get to the Eiffel Tower.” Lucien’s frustrated voice snapped me out of my thoughts. “I just want you to enjoy yourself. Stop thinking about them.” I knew he was just looking out for me. But I needed some alone time to process everything that was happening. A day filled with fun activities wouldn’t make me feel better. At that moment, I wasn’t even interested in seeing the Eiffel Tower anymore. I had gone there with the tour guide and there was no point going again. “Can we just head back to the hotel?” I asked Lucien, my voice distant. H
