Semua Bab The Wolf's Awakening: Bab 41 - Bab 50

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

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 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 47Halle Wilder~•~As I reached out for my phone and looked at the screen, I let out a disappointing sigh. I expected to see my mother’s name flashing across the screen, but it was Ivy. I was happy to hear from Ivy, but I just wanted — needed — to hear from my mother instead. Swallowing back the lump in my throat, I answered the phone and pressed it closer to my ear. “Ivy. Hey.” “Halle?” She asked, her voice soft and concerned. “Are you okay? Have you been crying?” I forced a laugh. “No. I’m just tired.” I lied, trying to keep my voice steady. I honestly didn’t want Ivy to know that I had been crying or even know about what was happening. She would end up being worried about me and I didn’t want her to go through such emotional stress. “Are you sure?” She exhaled softly. “Don’t lie to me.” I shut my eyes briefly, letting out a deep sigh as I struggled to hold back my tears. “Yes, you have nothing to worry about. I’m fine.” I was certain that Ivy didn’t believe me but

Chapter 49Lucien Thorne ~•~I knew exactly how to send a message to Wilder. And I knew it was going to hurt him badly. After digging deeply and gathering everything I needed, I knew exactly where to find his right man. The person who helped me do all his dirtiest work. Parker. Killing Parker would send Wilder a loud and clear message. I didn’t tell anybody about my plan because I didn’t want anybody to stop me — not even Halle. I would have easily sent someone, but I wanted to pull the trigger and end his life by myself. Parker usually spent his Sunday nights at a bar on the edge of Duskmoon territory. And the great part was that he went alone. So it was going to be a one-on-one fight. I didn’t even want a fight. I just wanted to end his life quietly and quickly. I already gave an anonymous tip to the bartender so he would look the other way. As I pulled up at the bar, I let out a deep sigh, bracing myself for what was about to happen. I walked into the building and sat dow
