Chapter 46: Chapter 47

Hope lowered the sleeve of her top when Logan put on his blazer over her shoulders. She raised her head to peer at him. “You had an important meeting.” Hope said..

“| postponed it for the evening, Logan said as he opened the lid of the water bottle.

The Dean of the college entered the room after knocking on the door, followed by his secretary. “I’m very sorry for the misconduct that some students did toward Mrs. Hope Moore. The disciplinary committee will take an action on this within a day,”

the Dean. gave an assurance to Logan.

Hope, who had stood up from the bed, gazed at Logan, wondering what he had to say. on that.

“| want you to expel them all. They wanted my wife to be dead.” Logan without showing any mercy cleared to the Dean how he wanted those students to be out of that college.

“Logan, | thought we have forgiven them,” Hope whispered near his ear as she held hist arm.

“You did, but I didn’t,” Logan replied. “Now, stay quiet. Let me handle this,” he added.

“The pack leaders might get angry if we expel Charlie and Natasha from the college. We will make sure all of them will never trouble your wife,” the Dean explained. He didn’t wish to escalate the matter between a Lycan and a werewolf.

“The Dean is right. Let’s end the matter here,” Hope opined. In her eyes, it wasn’t good. to grow enmity with the werewolves.

Many of them didn’t have a liking toward the Lycans. “Please,” she requested as she squeezed his arm.

“Fine. It should be the last time then,” Logan pronounced as he gazed at the Dean.

“Absolutely, Sir. Nothing like this will ever happen again. | promise,” the Dean reassured him. “Since Mrs. Hope is injured, she should go home and take a rest,” he suggested.

Logan hummed and left with Hope for home. As they got into the car, Hope said, “I’m sorry. | didn’t wish to disturb you. You had to postpone the meeting because of me. But how did you come to see me? | mean, you were away.”

“You forgot an important thing,” Logan answered.

51 “What it was?” Hope inquired.

Logan showed her the pendrive in which she had a ppt prepared. “You forgot this. So, | had to return,” he explained.

27 Feb Hope took it from him and put it inside her bag.

G “| think either your sister or ex has talked about the contract we signed for the marriage. I’m sorry that you had to hear those words,” Logan said.

“What do you mean?” Hope looked puzzled at his sudden apology.

“That you you are my sla ve instead of wife,” Logan stated.

“Ahh, that’s...” She sighed, telling him he should ignore it. “Natasha must be jealous to see me marrying with the most handsome man. Not anyone ordinary can be with you,” she pronounced and ended up shaking her right hand.

“Ahh,” Hope winced in pain when Logan slowed the car.

“Are you alright?” Logan asked with a worried gaze. “You aren’t supposed to move your right hand,” he scolded her.

“| was just excited,” Hope murmured. “I'll be careful.”

“You should. Else, | have to compel you,” Logan stated, “Compel me? How?” Hope was amused to hear him. However, Logan didn’t answer her. He didn’t wish to reveal his power to compel others. Pressing the accelerator, he drove the car fast to their home.

The entire college by now had known what Charlie, Natasha and their minions did to Hope. The fest was closed because Hope was badly injured and they didn’t wish to organize when one student was attacked by the werewolves.

Ryan didn’t expect Natasha to bully Hope in such a way that she would hurt her. He looked at his phone and then, dialed Hope’s number.

After a few rings, Hope answered the call.

“Hey, you good? | heard that you got injured,” Ryan stated while being concerned for her.

“You also know?” Hope looked surprised.

“Everyone knows,” Ryan replied.

“Yeah, | am fine. I’m on my way to home with Logan,” Hope answered. “Thank you for calling,” she said with a smile.

“Take care.” Ryan hung up the call and pushed it into his jeans pocket. He couldn't Ill believe Natasha would stoop so low. How could he even love a woman like her? He was disappointed in his choice.

“What happened, Dude?” His friend asked from the other side of the music room.

“Nothing.” Ryan replied and walked out of there. As he came to the main corridor of the college building, his eyes fell upon Natasha and Charlie coming from the Dean’s room.

He went toward them, thus stopping their way.

“Why did you do that?” Ryan asked Natasha.

“Hey, get away,” Charlie told him.

“You think such acts of yours will make you popular in the college. My clan is higher than both of yours. Since you attacked a Lycan’s wife, you two definitely are going to be punished by the elders,” Ryan stated.

Natasha looked at him. “Why did you start preaching about Hope suddenly?” She got irked at him.

“I'm preaching about the right,” Ryan stated. “Also, you will get the karma of what you did to me. Cheating on me and trampling on my feelings are something | never expected from you,” he remarked. Last night things he still had not forgotten and every time, he would think about it, his head and heart would ache at the same time.

As he pivoted to walk away. Natasha said, “You said | should not show my face to you. But you are coming back to me. It seems you can never take me off your mind.”

Saying that she walked past him with Charlie. Natasha still had no remorse of her act. But it had angered her more. Hope made her kneel down. She recalled how Karla approached her last night to finish Hope’s game forever. Such a werewolf should not exist between them.
