“What do you mean that a female werewolf talked with the village headman about the wolfsbane cultivation a few months back?” Paul asked as he placed the file on the desk and pulled out a chair for himself to sit on it.
“You've heard me already, Paul,” Logan stated. “It seems a kind of plan to me now. Well, I’ve sent Clifton there, so let’s see what the sketch will come out to be,” he asserted. He picked up the file and asked Paul if he found out anything related to Alaric and the woman, who tried to kill Hope.
“Nothing so far,” Paul replied. “I tried to find the location of Alaric, but he is quite clever, | would say,” he proclaimed.
“| think I'll meet him this time,” Logan said.
“Are you sure? The witches have a power to compel,” Paul asserted. “What if they harm you? Thanks to the magical pendant, Hope was safe last time. But the same will not with you.” He suggested Logan to take the decision carefully.
“Stay quiet,” Logan said as he noticed Hope had just walked into the office. Seeing the stack of files between her forearms, he quickly made the way to her and helped her.
“Oh, | will do it. Sir doesn’t need to bother himself,” Hope said as she saw Logan had placed those files on the desk.
Paul left his seat and told Hope let Logan be a caring hubby. “I take my leave here. Logan, you have no meetings for the next two days,” he stated and reminded Logan to sign the file.
As he left the office, Hope told Logan that she saw Henry earlier. “He looked pis sed at his secretary and even cursed at him many times. Seeing Henry | felt that he is not a good man,” she murmured. “I was a bit scared to witness that,” Hope added. “Where did you see Henry? | asked you not to go near him,” Logan stated and noticed the fear on Hope’s face. He cupped her face bewteen his palms, trying to make her feel better.
“| had to give him this file,” Hope said as she picked up the top file from the stack. “I told Mr. Davidson that | would give to Henry, but then, | got scared upon hearing the way he treated his secretary,” she explained to him.

badly that Hope couldn’t summon her courage to come inside,” said Logan and stopped in front of the desk.
Henry turned around on his chair and rose to his feet. “Hope was here?” He wondered what exactly Logan's wife heard. Though he prayed that it would not be those things, which he didn’t wish anyone to hear.
“Yep. Try to be calm in this office,” Logan told him as he placed the file on the table. He turned to leave when a familiar scent reached his nostrils, thus making him halt once more.
“What is the perfume are you wearing?” Logan asked as he glanced at him.
Henry was bewildered by his question. “Il wear my regular cologne. Why do you ask?” He furrowed his brows together.
Logan felt that the scent he just got was something only Olivia used to wear. ‘My mind is playing with me,’ he thought and left Henry's office without saying anything.
Henry sniffed himself by bringing his blazer’s collar close. “What was the scent he talked about?” he murmured.
Logan arrived at his office and saw Hope got busy in her work. He, too, sat on the chair when his phone buzzed. “Grandpa,” he murmured and brought the phone to his ear.
“Logan, come home with Hope right away,” William said from the other side.
“Is everything alright, Grandpa?” Logan questioned, getting worried.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“No. There are some people, who wants to see Hope,” William said. “Just come home right away,” he instructed and disconnected the call.
Hope raised her head from the computer’s screen to gaze at Logan. “What happened?”

“What? Why? Did something happen?” Hope got worried.

“| don’t know. Grandpa didn’t tell on the phone. We need to leave immediately,” he said.
Hope hummed and closed her desktop. “I need to take these files with me,” she stated.
“I'll ask Paul later. Let's head to the home forst. Grandpa is waiting for us,” Logan said. Hope nodded in agreement and carried her bag from the desk. She clutched her hair and then left with Logan.
It took them an hour to reach their destination. Hope exited the car first when Logan held her hand. “Let's go in.”
The two halted in the living room, where they spotted three people. Hope recognized one among them. “Alaric!” she muttered and tightly held Logan’s hand.
Alaric promptly appeared in front of Alaric and grabbed him up by the collars. “Why the hack did you attack Hope that day? How dare you come here knowing the fact that you'll be dead?” His grip on his neck tightened when William asked Logan to calm down.
The two other men looked in their middle ages. “Lycan Prince, please calm down. We are here to apologize and talk to you about Hope,” said Caspian in his humble
tone.
“Grandpa, he tried to kill Hope along with a woman. | cannot spare him,” Logan stated as his eyes shone bright red.
“Logan, they are here to apologize and tell the truth about Hope. Do you not wish to hear it? Let go of Alaric’s neck,” said William with a stern tone this time.
“The truth about me?” Hope was confused to hear that.
“Yes, Hope. The truth about you. | am Caspian and this is Edmund. We are your elder uncles and Alaric is your youngest uncle. | apologize on my brother’s behalf to treat you in such a bad way,” Caspian apologized with sincerity in his words while keeping a tiny smile on his lips.
