Hope sat down on the couch along with Logan. She glared at Alaric and asked him why he decided to kill her that day. “Who was the woman with you that day?” She inquired.
“Why didn’t you both tell me about it?” William inquired them.
“Grandpa, we didn’t wish to trouble you,” Hope replied. “I’ve nothing to do with them since | don’t even know them. They must have lied everything to you,” she asserted.
“Hope, what our youngest brother and his wife did was truly shameful. However, that was because they both had wrong equation with your mother. However, Alaric didn’t mean to kill you. It was to fear you and find out how our late sister has protected you,” said Gilbert, Hope’s second uncle.
“What kind of explanation that is?” Logan arched his eyebrow at him. “They tried to kill her. Punish both of them and then, we will have further communication with you,” he pronounced.
Caspian and Gilbert exchanged glances with each other. “Hope, what do you have to say on this?” Caspian inquired.
“| agree with Logan. | am not justified with your explanation at all. Also, | don’t wish to talk anything with you three nor | wish to meet you ever,” Hope gave her decision.
She hadn't forgotten how Alaric told her that day that her mother ran away with her father. “You all are liars. Where were you three all these years? | was tortured by my uncle and aunt, who lied about my parents. | had no one around me and now, when | have everything, you came to me.” Her anger was evident in her voice.
William decided to interfere and tell them the importance of the meeting. 9
“Hope, you are the woman, who will be given the moon stone by the Moon Goddess. That is why your three uncles are here. They didn’t know about your birth because your mother didn’t tell anyone. She left her house after marrying your father,” William calmly explained to her.
“So, they came here for their selfish mottos, | have no interest in the moon stone nor do | care about it,” Hope said and rose to her feet. She told the three of her uncles not to expect that she would see them ever and walked away.
“Logan, at least, you should understand the depth of this situation. Hope will be in [e)Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

danger soon that’s why we three are here to protect her. But Alaric and his wife acted faster, creating a sense of doubt in her mind,” Gilbert opined and asked Logan to think from a calm mind.
66% “Sir, why could you never locate Hope or his mother?” Logan questioned as he was a bit calmer than before. “Because of the spell that our sister, Janet Blackflame, has used. Our father
opposed Janet marriage with a werewolf. She refused to tell us the name because our father would have killed Timothy Ravenclaw with his powers. That’s why Janet ran away from the house and used the spell on her because of which we could never find her,” Caspian explained to him.
“Later, when Janet and Timothy died, we didn’t find out any details of their child. That was the reason why we could never find out about Hope. However, when suddenly your marriage was announced with Hope, then Alaric decided to check on Hope. From the investigation, we found out that Hope is the child of Janet and Timothy,” he narrated to Logan.
William glanced at Logan and told him to talk to Hope.
“| think Janet left the locket with her because she already knew that her daughter would be the carrier of the next moon stone from the Moon Goddess. That is the reason why even her uncle, Kasper Ravenclaw, lied to Hope since he gave promise to his elder brother,” Alaric finally said.
Logan wasn’t surprised that Alaric had met Kasper too.
Hope, who was standing behind the pillar, heard everything. Tears brimmed in her eyes as she finally got to know the real name of her
parents. However, she didn’t show herself and walked out from there.
“Roaxana, forgive me for yesterday,” said Isaac on the call. “Il know | have been a jerk last night and put you into trouble,” he stated.
“It's fine. | don’t mind it. Are you well, now?” Roaxana questioned him.
“Yep, | am. | had to take a day off since my stomach was upset. But now, | am well,” Isaac asserted. He pinched the skin between his brows and asked Roaxana if she would really marry Ryan.
Ryan took the phone from Roaxana as he was hearing their conversation. “Yes, |
[e)
am marrying her. You need to forget her,” he said and hung up the call. 00%
Roaxana widened her eyes and scolded him why he lied to Isaac. “Now, you have turned well, so | didn’t have to marry you forcefully anymore,” she proclaimed.
Ryan chuckled and he pulled her chin so that she could face him. “Roxy, we will marry because the news has already spread everywhere,” he stated.
She yanked his hand off her chin. “But you don’t care about such news. You know how well my PR team works,” Roaxana stated.
Ryan let
go of her chin and then kissed her, thus taking her by a surprise. She stopped blinking with a confused expression on her grimace.
“You cannot joke like that,” Roaxana said and stood up when he pulled her down on his lap. He wrapped his arms around, hugging her from behind.
“You do affect me. In the past few days, you showed me that | have feelings for you. Do you want to know what | thought during my rut?” He asked, keeping his chin on her shoulder.
“What?” Roaxana queried.
“That | should not have let you go. | should have accepted you. And in my all ruts, you were the first person | used to think about. Date me, Roaxana,” Ryan asked her out, “and be my girlfriend.”
