Semua Bab The Wolf's Awakening: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Chapter 62 Lucien Thorne ~•~Sometimes, I wondered if Halle was under a spell. Like who would still want to protect their family after being betrayed by them multiple times? Halle had a forgiving heart and that was her greatest weakness. She always wanted to give people the benefit of the doubt. And it had caused her nothing but pain. After her experience with her father, I thought she would have gotten wiser, but she was still the same. I wasn’t trying to say it wasn’t okay to be a good person. But she needed to start treating people accordingly. I felt bad for calling her a coward. But I was desperate to do anything that would make her change her mind about protecting Chloe. And it worked. A few minutes later, she called me back to say she was ready to help. Even if she hadn’t called me, I was ready to do it without her. I couldn’t just sit back and watch her put her sister before herself. “So where are we headed?” Seraphina asked with a trace of curiosity in her voice. “T

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

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 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 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.
