All Chapters of The Wolf's Awakening: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter Eleven Halle Wilder~•~Lucien kept to his word. He didn’t leave my side. Even as he greeted a few of his friends, he made me tag along. I felt a little bit relieved, but I was still nervous. He introduced me to random people, and I just responded with an awkward wave or smile. I was the happiest when we finally sat down at our table. I couldn’t even pay attention throughout the entire ceremony. I kept on looking at my watch, counting the seconds until we were meant to return to the house. After a while, I felt pressed and wanted to use the bathroom. Lucien gave me directions and I stood up from the chair and made my way to the bathroom. It was a semi-huge building with different stalls. Then it had a central part where the sinks were located. I found an empty bathroom stall and went inside. A relieved breath I had no idea I had been holding escaped my lips. It felt good to be away from the overwhelming crowd. I knew I couldn’t hide in the bathroom forever, so I just

Chapter Thirteen Lucien Thorne ~•~Loyalty. It was something generations of my pack had abided by. We were raised to protect our own. To never betray each other. To die before we turned our backs on each other. But now, betrayal stood right in front of me. Carson lied to my face. But little did he know, nothing stayed hidden forever in the Crescent Moon Pack. A few months back, the location of our moonstone was compromised. The moonstone was very important because it was an anchor to our strength. Every full moon, the Alpha — me — would draw power from it to bless the warriors, fortify the pack’s borders, and connect with the ancestral gods. It also helped our connection with be moon goddess to become stronger. But after the location was compromised, the moonstone was stolen. And it caused chaos in the pack. Only a few people knew about the location, but all of them claimed they had nothing to do with it. I chose to give them the benefit of the doubt and let it slide because

Chapter Fiften Halle Wilder ~•~I couldn’t stop thinking about the moment I just had with Lucien. Just when things were about to get intense, he abruptly pulled away.I wanted to beg him to stay, to continue. But I knew that was exactly what he wanted. He deliberately left me wanting more. Maybe he wanted me to fantasize about having sex with him before it eventually happens. If it ever happened. His scent lingered on me — a blend of leather and pine. I paced around the room, my skin still burning from where his fingers had grazed my waist. Was I meant to be falling for him already? I had only known him for three weeks. Or were my feelings just false? My mind raced with different thoughts. Was it just my broken heart yearning for the first person who made me feel something again? I had no idea if I was even over Kai. I ran my fingers through my hair. Then suddenly, I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach as I remembered that in a few hours, we were about to experience a full

Chapter Seventeen Lucien Thorne~•~“Halle, Halle,” I called out her name as I knocked softly on her door. I waited for a few seconds, but she didn’t respond. “It’s Lucien, open up.” I continued, knocking a few more times. But she still didn’t answer. I let out a deep exhale. Was she ignoring me because of what happened between us? I didn’t intentionally pull away. I felt the tension in her body, I could feel how badly she wanted me. But I didn’t want to rush things. And most importantly, I didn’t want anything that would complicate my plans. Halle was a good-looking girl and everyone would be attracted to her. Even lucky to have her in their arms. But I didn’t want to lose sight of my main goal. I mean, I was even starting to believe that we were true mates. A part of me was getting attracted to her. If I weren’t careful, I would end up catching feelings. Everything would get ruined if that happened. I didn’t want something like that to happen. But at the same time, I still n

Chapter Nineteen Halle Wilder ~•~I was restless throughout the night, I couldn’t even get proper sleep because a part of me was scared. I watched Ivy as she slept peacefully. Maybe I was just being paranoid. Ivy was on my side. After what felt like an eternity, the sun finally came up. Ivy yawned loudly as she stretched her arms and legs out before opening her eyes. When she turned to look at me, she saw that I was wide awake. “Did you get any sleep?” She asked in a slightly groggy voice. I forced a smile. “Yes, I did.” I didn’t want her to know that I couldn’t sleep properly because I was scared that she was about to betray me or set me up. “Okay. I think I want to sleep for a little longer.” “Take all the time you need,” I replied before getting out of bed. I made my way into the bathroom and turned on the tap in the sink. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. Then I had a long and relaxing warm shower. By the time I was out of the bathroom, I saw that I had gotten se
