The next morning:
Hope wore the watch on her left hand and again checked her clothes. She looked good. in this formal suit for office. Tying her hair with a rubber band, she headed downstairs, where Logan already awaiting for her.
“Hope, you look so elegant in this attire,” Cecilia complimented her and asked her to
take a sc at.
“Logan chose such outfits for me,” Hope said and smiled. She sat next to Logan, who asked her why she had tied her hair. “You should keep them loose. You look prettier that way,” Logan stated. They began. their breakfast and enjoyed it thoroughly. Once they were done eating, Hope followed Logan to his car.
Surprisingly, he didn’t wish to take the driver today. When Hope asked about it, Logan said, “I thought to drive myself.”
Hope checked her phone and dropped a message to Rebecca asking her if she was doing fine. “I heard from Fred that Rebecca isn't doing well. She has fallen sick,” Hope informed him.
“What? Lycans don't fall sick, Logan replied. “Except for in some special circumstances.”
“| think we should check on her in the evening. Rebecca is like a sister to me,” Hope asserted.
Logan didn’t decline her request and agreed to take her to see Rebecca in their family
house.
“Your birthday is falling this week. | want you to celebrate it this time,” Hope opined. Before he could speak, she continued further, “I think it’s the time you need to embrace the truth fully. | don’t want your parents to feel pain seeing you suffering and not even caring about your own life.”
Logan hummed and he opened his mouth to speak. “Hope, if you want to celebrate it, | won’t stop you.”
“Don’t you want to celebrate it for yourself?” Hope inquired him.
“| never found the zeal to celebrate it,” Logan answered..
“Then, what do you wish to do that day? Can you take a leave that day?” Hope asked
him.

“| told you I’ve an important meeting that day. | will not be in the city,” Logan reminded.
to her.
“Alright,” Hope said and looked outside through the window from her side. She realized. Logan had no intention to celebrate his birthday and she didn’t wish to force him since he would not enjoy the day.
“Hope, don’t be upset. | appreciate your efforts and | love it that you think so much for me. I’m truly happy to see your genuine concern for me, Logan stated in a humble
tone.
Hope felt he found happiness in his work, so she didn’t force him, but she decided to keep a small celebration for him on his birthday.
‘| will not let you feel any kind of loneliness anymore, she thought in her mind.
“Roaxana, why did you refuse marrying Isaac?” Anna complained from her daughter as she served her the hot soup. “And why are your eyes so puffy? Did you cry the entire night? Can you not share all these things to your mother?” Anna urged. She was worried for Roaxana since it was the first time she had fallen terribly sick: her body was on extremely high fever.
“Mom, let’s not talk about Isaac. | want to rest. My head feels heavy,” Roaxana said ina
low voice.
“Alright. Have this soup so that you can take the medicine. You'll be fine then,” Anna told her and blew the air over the soup. She fed the soup to her daughter and then, gave her a pill. Roaxana took it with water and then lay down.
Anna coveted her well from thd duvet and put down thd blinders on the windows. “I'll come after an hour to check on you,” Anna said and kissed the top of her forehead.
Roaxana closed her eyes as the door of her room shut. However, sleep was unable to engulf her body. She checked her phone and the last message she had left for Ryan. But it remained unseen. “I think he’s not ready to keep me as a part of his life anymore. You'll regret losing me, Ryan,” she murmured and blocked Ryan’s number with a heavy heart. She put away her phone and turned to the other side.
The pill had shown its effectiveness and she slowly, drifted off to sleep, her body. relaxed as it finally got to rest.
Lucas and Daniel both got the appointment to see Logan in his office. Paul was the one, who fetched them and led their way to the Vice Chairman’s office.
As they entered in, their sight fell upon Logan and Hope. Daniel furrowed his brows together thinking what she was doing there. Logan rose to his feet and had a handshake with Lucas. He asked them to take the seats. on the sofa chairs. He also sat there with Hope and Paul. Since it was an important matter concerned the werewolves, Logan shifted his current meeting to an hour later.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“Hope, how are you doing?” Lucas asked. “You look better than before,” he asserted with a smile.
“Yeah, I’m better than before,” Hope said. She didn’t know Lucas much, but she knew he wasn't like Daniel. Instead, he was a kind of gentleman. Even when she dated Daniel, Lucas always made sure his brother would take good care of her. However, Daniel chose to cheat and reject her.
“Daniel, you should apologize to Hope,” Lucas said, glancing at his brother.
“It doesn’t seem Daniel is ready to admit what he did to me,” Hope proclaimed while keeping her tone stern. “Moreover, I’m not going to forgive him.”
Logan smiled seeing how confident Hope had turned. She was no longer the woman he saw the very first day of their meeting. “lam no longer with Klara. Forgive me for whatever | did to you,” Daniel still apologized. “Logan, please ask Hope to forgive me. She seems to listen to you more,” he pronounced.
“You've already listened to Hope’s decision,” Logan affirmed.
“Hope, | should have come to you for an apology on my brother’s behalf. | know what he did to you is unforgivable and unforgettable. Still, consider it once,” Lucas said. humbly. “I shall speak about the matter for which | am here.”
Everyone turned serious then and shifted their focus entirely to Lucas. “We have found the wolf bane from the houses of the humans in a large quantity,” he informed Logan.
“Why humans have the wolf bane stored in their houses?” Logan asked.
“We have no idea. But Dad and | think that it must be because they don’t want us werewolves to live,” Lucas pronounced, stating out his assumption.
“Isn’t that bad? Why did the humans suddenly begin thinking like this?” Paul raised a query.
“Perhaps we are quite superior to them when it comes to abilities,” Lucas stated. “We want to raid such houses. However, if the werewolves get im contact with the Wolf's bane, it can be dangerous for us,” he explained his concern.

“So, how will Logan help in this?” Hope was puzzled.
“The Lycans are immune to Wolf's bane, and decisions regarding such matters are made by the Lycan Prince. That's why I’ve come here.” Lucas responded to Hope’s inquiry.
Logan interjected with curiosity. “Where did you come across all of these indings? Did you manage to obtain any Wolf's bane? Lucas nodded solemnly. “Yes, | found a box full of it. | require your assistance in this investigation. | can’t fathom what the humans are planning.”
Concern etched on his features, Logan speculated, “What if they're werewolf hunters”
“Hunters?” Lucas exclaimed. “Why couldn't | think of it?” he mumbled.
“We have history with some humans, who didn’t like us being transforming into werewolves or Lycans beasts. | do think it is related to the werewolf hunters. It is truly concerning situation. | will look into it and get back to you. Logan assured him. Daniel's entire focus was on Hope. He couldn’t help but admire the way she had dressed. She looked completely a different woman in his eyes now.
‘| never knew she was such a hot beauty, Daniel thought. ‘Sadly, she is my enemy now. | want her to beg me for Logan’s life. If the werewolf hunters are truly there, then | must join their hands to kill this Lycan Prince first. I’m dying to see the terrified look in Hope’s eyes.
Logan glanced at Daniel and found his eyes were on Hope. He found it strange and decide to end the conversation there. “Lucas, I’ll get in touch with you soon. You should leave with your brother,” he suggested.
“Yeah, sure,” Lucas agreed to him and rose to his feet. “Thank you for giving out the time for seeing me. I'll wait for your response,” he said and asked Daniel to get up. Both the Rutherford brothers left the office.
“Are werewolf hunters really active?” Paul asked Logan.
“Humans won't keep Wolf's bane with them. | think the hunters are involved in this.” Logan stated with a menacing expression.
