“Hope is an omega. Who would like to even date her?” Daniel was still persistent not to leave.

“But she was your mate, wasn’t she?” Daniel asked him as he squinted his eyes. “I don’t wish to hear another word from your mouth, so leave. | may have to call the security to throw you out and | don’t wish to do that,” he proclaimed.

Daniel thanked him for his time and left the office. He was in a terrible mood because Hope had destroyed his life completely.

The woman whom no one would ever look at, Logan took interest in her and it irked Daniel more. He stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to close it.

At that moment, Paul noticed him and knitted his brows together. “Why was he here? Why did the security not stop him?” he thought and quickly called at the security room.

Within a ring, his call was answered. He made a query who let Daniel enter the company.

“Henry?!” Paul exclaimed the name as he hung up the call. “Why did he allow Daniel inside? What’s cooking in Henry’s mind?”

Logan turned quiet at that moment. Saying he love Hope was too difficult for him. His inner lycan told him to admit his feelings for Hope, but he could not. Perhaps he was. scared to lose her.

Hope propped on her elbows as they both sat up. She hugged him, their upper naked bodies pressed against each other.

“Thank you for nullifying the contract. | won't get angry at you for not saying ‘I love you’ to me,” Hope stated. “I will wait more. I’m good at waiting,” she said and withdrew slowly.

She cupped his face, her thumbs caressed his cheeks. “When | said you are my salvation, | wasn’t lying to you. You truly has changed my life, Logan. Today when you protected me from them, | felt so safe. My heart beats for you and it will always beat for you. | love you so much,” she said with a smile.

You'll always find me by your side, Logan. I'll never leave you. | promise,” Arial pronounced with a smile and hugged him again.

70 “Yeah, it happened way to soon. | ended up liking her more and more as days passed. It is tough to stay away from or resist her charms, Logan thought.

‘She is your true mate. You should not let her leave your side and confess your feelings to her, his Lycan Beast further advised him.

“But it’s not easy for me to confess love. You have seen how | lost the ones, whom | loved, Logan internally said.

‘Perhaps that was bound to happen. She is here. Her scent is intoxicating, more than anything.’ His Lycan Beast’s words reverberated in his mind and Logan turned around.

Hope stretched out her arms as she approached him. Earlier, she again fell asleep and Logan didn’t disturb her at all.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Hope asked as she lowered her arms. She then showed him her arm. “I cannot believe my wound healed so fast with that pill,” she proclaimed with happiness.

“Yeah, it did.” Logan took the last sip and placed the mug over the garden’s table.

“Will you come to ball with me? You've accepted me as yours,” Hope reminded him. while smiling.

“Yeah, | will,” Logan assured her. He sat down on the garden couch and gestured to her to settle beside him.

Hope quickly walked to him and sat beside him. She put her legs up and continued, “I applied for the internship in your company.

Hopefully, | get selected.”

“Nice,” Logan said and he held her hand. Their fingers intertwined together and he kissed her knuckles. Your scent is amazing, Hope,” he whispered against her knuckles, “You suddenly act like a sweet husband,” Hope murmured.

“Don't you like it?” Logan asked her.

“| do. | just fear that you won’t neglect me. | mean, you are still hesitant to confess because of your own fears,” Hope asserted. “I know it’s hard for you.” She lowered her eyes and looked at their hands.

“If you can make me nullify the contract, you can also help me end my fears,” Logan stated, showing the faith in her.

Hope peered into his eyes. “Thank you for keeping a faith in me,” she said. “Are you free?” She suddenly asked him.

29 Tue, 27 Feb “Yeah, why?” Logan asked.

“| will take you to a magical place, Hope said.

“And may | know where this magical place is?” Logan questioned.

J “That’s a surprise.” Hope said and stood up. She held both of his hand, trying to pull him up. Instead, Logan pulled her down and trapped her in his lap by wrapping his arms around her.

“Aunt Cecilia is around, so are the other serv ants,” Hope said, blinking a bit faster.

“They are in the kitchen,” Logan whispered.

“Don’t you want to visit the magical place, where | would take you to?” Hope queried.

“Not today. You still need rest,” Logan said and ducked her head to the crook of her neck.

Hope’s breathing instantly turned unstable and her heartbeats shot up. “Logan, what if someone comes by? It will be embarassing,” she mumbled.

“Forget everything and just pay attention on me,” Logan said and nuzzled her neck. Your scent drives me crazy.” he admitted.

She exposed more of her neck to him, feeling apprehended by his sweet ministrations on her neck.

After a few minutes, he stopped and looked at her. He caressed her hair and said, “It’s going to be tough to resist you once you enter the company.”

“What do you mean?” Hope chuckled..

“My wife would be close to me and her scent would attract me toward her all the time,” Logan explained.

Hope bit her lower lip. “You need to control on your urges then. Be a man that time,” she pronounced.

“Aman takes a good care of his woman,” Logan stated. “You shiver under my touch. whenever I-” his words couldn't be completed as Hope pressed her finger on his lips. He kissed her finger when she withdrew it.

“Ahh, | wanted to tell you something.” Hope said. Her facial expressions changed into.

“What is it?” Logan asked.

Hope took out the phone from her trousers pocket and showed the message to him, which she received in her college. “Because of this, | went to the forest. Someone said.

0 n “It wasn’t Natasha and her gang. | searched for this number and | couldn’t even find its location. For some reason, | feel | was not from the Ravenclaw Family. This unknown person wanted me to tell me about my mother. What do you think? | could not get any Wolf's scent in that forest. Did you by any chance feel anyone’s presence there?” She asked and get away from his lap.

Logan shook his head. “I didn’t. | will look into it.” He took out his phone and sent the screenshot of the message to Paul and asked him to search for the number.

“It is weird that someone randomly approach me to talk about my mother after so many years,” Hope pronounced. “In fact, no one ever talked about my mother,” she asserted.

“Don’t worry. Paul will take out the necessary details on this, Logan said. “Come to think of it what happened to your mother. |

“She died after a few years of my birth. | was 4 or 5. Then, Dad married a new woman, my stepmother, Hope affirmed.

“Then, we should talk to your father. What do you say?” Logan inquired.

“Why would Dad even tell the truth?” Hope murmured.

“In front of me, he will,” Logan stated with a confident tone. “What do you say?” He asked.

“What if Dad tells Karla about it? Again, thing would go out about all this,” Hope was a bit hesitant to ask her father about it.

“Okay. Then, let's wait Paul answers me,” Logan stated.
