Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Hope pushed Logan away, asking him why he suddenly initiated the kiss with her.

“It's the time | shall mark you,” Logan said.

“What? No! You cannot mark me,” Hope protested feeling weak as she faltered because of the weakness, Logan caught her and pulled her strongly in his grip. “Do you even have any idea what you did earlier? Running away from the home and then heading to a motel to spend a night!” All this time he was controlling his anger, but not anymore.

“I-I didn’t know Daniel and Karla would do that to me,” Hope replied tearfully, her eyes welling up with emotion.

“Anyone would do it with a foolish woman like you,” Logan remarked. “You ran through the forest and then, I’ve to search the entire city for you. You think I’m that free.” His jaw clenched as he was verge on loosing his temper.

“| don’t wish to live in a marriage, where I’ve to give you a child and then leave your life. Do you think it will easy for me to live without my child? You think motherhood is a joke!?” Hope questioned his conscience.

“Give me my billion dollars then if you cannot fulfill my wish,” Logan demanded.

Hope raised her hand in air to slap but he caught it in the mid-way. Pushing her down on the bed, his deadly gaze bore holes into her eyes. “Hope, you were abandoned, remember? Don't forget your life in the Ravenclaw house. Your father sold you to me. So, be an obedient wife when I’m asking you to. That’s for what I’ve purchased you,” he pronounced.

Hope lowered her eyes as she understood her worth in his eyes finally. “You should have let me die then. It’s not tough for you to bring another woman, who can not only fulfill your desires everyday but also give you a child. I’m not your worth after all,” she asserted.

Logan’s grip loosened from her, but he didn’t move away. With his thumb and finger, he pulled up Hope’s chin so that their gazes would be locked. “You don’t act like an omega,” he stated.

Hope remained quiet, just waiting for him to move away. Her eyes slowly averted from him and one part of her neck exposed to Logan, Without thinking much, Logan ducked his head and nipped her skin.

“Ahh!” Hope let out a mewl, asking him to let her go. She didn’t wish to be marked by him, not this way, at least. However, her words left no impact on Logan.

1/3 Chapter 10 His canines sunk in her skin as he began the marking process, making Hope’s nail to dug into his forearms. The pain was too much to handle, but once he would mark her, no one try to even touch her. The Lycan Prince’s scent on her would be enough to lower the threats around her.

“Ahh...Logan,” Hope cried out his name when he licked her spot, soothing the pain for her. Tears streamed down her cheeks as the pain subsided. Logan marked her despite her protest. As he peered into her eyes, his thumb wiped the tears from her cheeks.

“Now, | can at least track you easily,” Logan murmured as his eyes fell to her luscious lips.

“You have ruined me,” Hope stated.

“You should not have challenged me by running away from the home,” Logan affirmed. “Also, be grateful to me for saving your life. You would not want to die by strangling,” he said and let go of her. Standing straight, he ran his hand-through his hair and asked her to take rest.

“lam hungry. Bring food for me,” Hope asked.

“What do you wish to eat?” Logan inquired.

“Something delicious,” Hope replied as she spread her legs on the bed.

Logan called someone on the phone, causing Hope to draw her brows close. ‘Why is he not leaving?” she thought and lay her head on pillow.

“They both blamed me for something | have no idea about,” Hope suddenly said as she suspiciously looked at Logan. “Did you do something to Daniel?” She asked.

“| withdrew the investment from his project. His father had a partnership with us but | ended it. Last night you told me to take revenge for you and | did that, Logan explained.

Hope was shocked to learn that. It surprised her that Logan avenge Daniel for the pain he inflicted upon her.

“You should say thank you to your husband. After all, he is not an evil man like your ex,” Logan proclaimed.

Hope pursed her lips together as she realized she said how Logan was worst than Danicl.

“I-l_am sorry,” Hope said. “I didn’t mean that. It was you who angered me,” she murmured.

“| will punish you. Only then, you'll be getting your forgiveness, Logan announced as 24 AxtS87%

he settled on the couch.

“How will you punish me?” Hope asked.

“It will be a fun punishment, Hope. You will think thrice to trouble me then,” Logan said with a smirk across his lips.

Hope gulped to hear him as she wondered if he would again ask for her body. Her stomach growled as she felt hungry. “Why is the dinner still not here?” she queried.

“Camila is on her way with meal boxes,” Logan affirmed.

“Why did you call Aunt Camila here? You could have ordered from the hospital canteen,” Hope stated.

“| don’t eat outside food,” Logan replied.

“But | do. | need food. | am hungry. It’s very wrong, Logan. You are keeping me hungry,” Hope thrashed her legs on the bed while whining for food.

Her whines stopped as Logan suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Her breath hitched as his lips were once again above hers. Something odd was happening within Logan. He was unable to resist Hope. His tongue casily sought entrance to her mouth as they kissed deeply. Hope found herself loosing in that kiss. Her hands involuntarily circled his neck as she pulled him down.

“Mmmm...” Hope moaned when he nipped her bottom lip before withdrawing.
