Chapter 57

Lucien Thorne

~•~

Wilder needed to be stopped.

And I needed to do it fast.

I asked a few people I could trust in Paris to look after Halle. I also provided her with a personal tour guide who would take her anywhere she wanted to visit.

Then I made sure the hotel staff gave her the best treatment.

I hated that I had to leave Paris without her, but that was the only choice. Grimm wasn’t joking when he said he would kill Halle if he set his eyes on her.

I just wanted to protect her.

After a long flight, I finally arrived back home.

The first stop I made was at Grimm’s house. He wasn’t happy to see me. He even acted like I didn’t exist. “Come on, man.” I breathed heavily. “I’m sorry this had to happen, but I’m going to make it right.”

“Yeah, right,” Grimm responded with a bitter scoff. “How are you going to make it right? Can you bring my brother back to life?” He asked through gritted teeth.

Grimm’s brother was also my friend. I wasn’t happy about his death. Shit, I

    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

    Chapter 64Halle Wilder~•~I had no idea why I was crying. Actually, I knew why I was crying. But no matter how hard I tried to stop myself, I couldn’t control it. The tears kept on flowing as though it were a waterfall. I was grieving for someone who was still alive. I made a decision and it broke me badly. Even though nothing had happened to Chloe yet, I couldn’t get rid of the guilt that hovered around me. My chest tightened as I thought of myself as a monster. Why did I even listen to Lucien? On the other hand, why did I have a soft heart? Chloe had clearly betrayed me, but I still cared about her so much. No matter how hard I tried to pretend, she was still my sister. We shared a fucking womb. I wasn’t like her. I could never be like her. “How many more times do you want them to betray you before you learn?” Lucien’s voice came through the phone. “You have to start choosing yourself, Halle.” I sniffed back my tears. “It’s not that simple, Lucien,” I mumbled, my voice l
