Chapter 8


    Why do you wish to be loved when you already witnessed hoe love can hurt you in the end” Logan directed a question at her as


    he witched to another arm. “Our contract i for one year and after that, we will separate our ways. You can meet the child


    whenever. you with to,” he exined.


    Logan’s demands were harsh as he wanted a mother to be away from a child. But he didn’t want a woman to stay close to him to


    bring a doom to him. He hadn''t forgotten how in the past he suffered because of a woman, whom he used to love.


    “That’s very selfish of you. Hope blurted out and moved away from him. | don’t need your sympathy for my wounds. You think it’ll


    be easy for me to stay away from my child,” she turned furious and began collecting her books


    Ready to dash out of the room. Hope stood up when Logan grasped her arm and pulled her down to the mattress


    Little Wolf, you are my purchased bride. Also, whatever | did wasn’t a mere act of sympathy. Instead, | want you to turn better


    since you need to produce a child soon.” Logan affirmed. He didn’t care if that sounded rude to her or not.


    You were already rejected once by your mate. Don’t you feel an ounce of embarrassment for getting rejected by me too? Logan


    chuckled.


    Hope curled her fingers as she realized he questioned her dignity this time. “You are worse than Daniel,” she said as tears


    emerged in her eyes. “Thate you, she muttered and ran out of his sight


    Upon entering her room, Hope shut the door firmly and made her way to her study desk. As she arranged her books, she


    brushed away the tears clouding her eyes, pondering any possible escape from this suffocating household. The contractual ties


    no longer held significance to her.


    Her gaze fell upon the balcony door, drawing her closer to it. Unlocking it from inside. she stepped onto the balcony Peering over


    the balustrade, Hope gauged the distance to the ground and realized it wasn’t too daunting. Crafting a makeshift rope from the


    bedsheets seemed usible for her escape n.


    However, as an omega werewolf, Hope grappled with ack of physical strength. A higher—ranked werewolf in her position might


    effortlessly flee by leaping down, yet her. inherent limitations posed a considerable obstacle.


    Hope packed her backpack with her books and two pairs of clothes. She put the phone inside her pocket and then quickly made


    a rope using the bedsheet. After she was done, she tied its one end to the pir in the balcony and hung its other end down the

    balcony.


    Hope checked its strength before jumping down and grabbing it firmly. Carefully, she lowered herself and soon reached the


    ground. Being an omega, Hope’s biggest strength was her courage in difficult times.


    Touching down on the ground, Hope swiftly chose to avoid the front of the estate, aware that it could attract unwee attention.


    Recalling Cam’s advice about a vast forest lying beyond the vi’s backyard, Hope raced in its direction.


    After a continuous sprint of about twenty minutes, the forest loomed ahead. Despite the darkness of the path, her enhanced


    werewolf vision served her well in navigating the terrain. Finally, she paused, leaning against a tree to catch her breath.


    Retrieving her phone, Hope checked for directions, contemting her next move. She pondered the best strategy to navigate


    her way out of the situation.


    It took an hour for Hope to get out of the forest and reach the road, which connected to the highway.


    She needed a ce to spend a night. Checking her phone, Hope first booked a cab and then reached the main city. Because of


    the low bnce in her ount, she could only rent a room in the motel for the night. But was it advisable to be there?


    “| cannot stay the entire night outside. It’s only about one night, then | will find a better ce to live, Hope murmured. She knew


    Logan would nevere to find her since she had no worth in his eyes, except giving him an offspring. He would easily find


    another woman who willingly does it for the money.


    Resolutely stepping towards a nearby motel, Hope’s path was abruptly interrupted by a tap on her shoulder.


    Turning to face the unknown man, before Hope could react, he pressed a handkerchief coated with anesthesia to her nose.


    Within moments, the world faded into


    unconsciousness for Hope.


    When Hope woke up with a heavy head, she murmured, “Where am I?” The bright yellow lights hit her eyes, causing distress to


    her. The effect of anesthesia was still on her as her eyes slowly closed.


    She felt a ssh of water on her face and jolted awake.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    “Ahhhh!” Hope screamed as her hair was pulled and she saw Ka, her stepsister. “Leave my hair,” she urged.


    “Shut up you bitch! Because of you Daniel lost his everything.” Ka bellowed at her. She let go of Hope’s hair and then


    repeatedly hit her cheeks.

    “Stop!” Daniel told Ka and asked her to calm down.


    Ka stepped away from Hope and said, “Babe, she doesn’t need any mercy. Because of her, you lost everything. Your business


    is now at a loss.”


    Hope had no idea what they both were talking about and how she became the reason. for it. “I didn’t do anything. So, stop


    ming me,” with her remaining strength Hope pronounced.


    Daniel strangled her throat as his thumb tightly pressed against her neck. “Logan destroyed me because of you. You are the


    reason for my doom and I''ll make sure you die today.” His eyes were blood-red as his alpha’s eyes shone brightly.


    Hope thrashed her legs, but she had no way to escape Daniel’s grip. Tears poured down her eyes, and slowly, the darkness


    covered her eyes. She felt her body bing lighter as it reached the abyss of nothingness.


    But at that moment, she heard a familiar voice.


    “Logan,” she whispered before her eyes shutpletely.
