Semua Bab The Wolf's Awakening: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter Twenty One Lucien Thorne ~•~I still remember how my heart dropped when I thought Halle ran away. It made me realize that I needed to act fast if I wanted my revenge. Time wasn’t on my side anymore. It had been almost a month since I found her, and I was certain that her family would be searching for her. I had no idea why she didn’t want to go back to them — or why she even lied about her identity. But I saw it as a perfect opportunity to execute my plans. I couldn’t wait to see the look on her father’s face when he finally realized that I had been with his daughter all this time. The thought of betraying Halle made me feel a little bit guilty, but her father had to pay for his sins. I pretended like I liked her but she had no idea she was just a pawn in my game. “Lucien.” Halle’s voice broke the silence in the car. I couldn’t tell her the truth about where we were going when she asked me. I couldn’t even properly look her in the eyes. Why was I feeling guilty? I

Chapter 23Lucien Thorne ~•~I couldn’t believe that I was about to lead Halle into a trap. I thought she was ‘leverage’ but it was clear that her father didn’t care about her. All these while, I thought we would finally get revenge on him through his daughter, but everything was just a waste of time. I had to call my men who were already there to turn back. Her father already knew we were on our way because I had already asked Grimm to reach out and have a conversation with him. Now I understood why he didn’t panic immediately to send his own men after us to get his daughter. I felt so disappointed, and even more guilty that I had been trying to use Halle. She didn’t deserve anything that was happening to her. Not the rejection, the betrayal, not even the silence that followed after her disappearance. And definitely not to be used like a pawn in a game that she didn’t know about. Even if I couldn’t go through with my plans at the moment, it didn’t mean I had given up on getting

Chapter 25Lucien Thorne ~•~“What are you thinking, Lucien? This girl is the daughter of the same man who killed so many people from our pack. And you want to put all our lives in danger just because you want to protect her?” Grimm’s annoyed voice sounded from the other end of the line. I let out a deep sigh. “I understand your concerns but she’s my responsibility now,” I replied, rubbing my forehead in frustration. “I’m the reason why he found her, so I have to protect her.” He responded with a bitter scoff. “I thought you didn’t care about her? I thought she was just a mere pawn in your game? What changed? Huh?” He asked, the heat radiating off his voice even through the phone. “I heard her own side of the story. I don’t think that her father wants her alive.” “Even if he doesn’t want her alive, how is that your problem?” He asked, his voice sharp. “Just let him take her because he’s coming for war.” There was no way in hell I was letting that monster take Halle. I promised

Chapter 27Halle Wilder~•~“Halle.” My father’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. I could tell that he wasn’t expecting me to call him. “Where are you?” He asked, his voice low. I closed my eyes briefly, letting out a deep exhale as I tightened my grip on the phone. I felt a different wave of emotions course through me. “Why are you doing this?” I asked, ignoring his question. “Doing what?” His voice was soft. “I’m trying to protect you.” Protect me? How? “I don’t believe you,” I replied, my voice cracked. “Why did you send all those men after me?” I asked with a hint of curiosity and disappointment in my voice. Without hesitation, he replied. “I was just trying to save you from those people who took you. You have no idea what they’re capable of. Those people are dangerous.” He replied, his voice sharp. “Especially Lucien Thorne. You need to stay away from him.” I glanced at Lucien for a second. Was my father right? Was Lucien dangerous? I didn’t even know who to

Chapter 29Halle Wilder~•~“Turn the car around and take me to my father or I’ll jump out.” Lucien gave me a hard look. Then he let out a heavy sigh and hit the brakes so hard that it screeched on the pavement. “Jump out of the car! If you want to die so badly. Leave the fucking car!” The car came to a stop, the seatbelt tightening across my chest. I flinched, staring at him in disbelief. “Are you out of your mind?” I asked, still trying to process what he just did. “Are you trying to kill us?” He scoffed bitterly, rolling his eyes. “Are you trying to kill yourself by going back to your father?” He asked, looking at me like I was the most ridiculous person on earth. To be honest, I thought Lucien would be happy that I was willing and ready to go back to my father. I thought I was doing him a favour by making sure there was peace in his pack. But he seemed so upset and angry. I was confused about why he didn’t want me to leave. I knew that we were mates, but we just met each o
