“What''s this obsession of yours punishing me in bed?” Hope would get annoyed every
time Logan would say th
“It''s fun to see you getting irked,” Logan asserted.
Hope rolled her eyes and gazed out of the window. ‘He confuses me. The way he would protect me, makes my heart flutter. How
can | not like him when he saved me so many. times?’ she thought, wishing for Logan to like her as well, at least.
Her scalp was still in pain, so instinctively Hope ced her hand above her head. A faint cry escaped her mouth, which Logan
heard. He thought to buy an icepack for her.
When the brakes were applied suddenly after covering a certain distance, Hope nced at Logan. “What happened?”
However, he exited the car without saying a word. She looked out of the car’s window and saw the medical shop. “Did something
happen to Logan?” she murmured.
He returned with a small, biodegradable poly bag in his hand and entered the car. Taking out the icepack bag, Logan leaned
closer to Hope and ced it above her head.
“Does it feel good?” Logan queried her.
Hope nodded at him and asked why he suddenly showing care toward her. “Until you are my wife, | cannot ignore you and let
you feel mistreated,” he affirmed.
“| can do myself. We can gette for dress shop,” Hope said as she took the ice pack
from him.
“We aren''t going there today,” Logan said.
“What? Why?” Ariel was bewildered to hear him.
“Not any particr reason. If we stop by the dress house at this hour, we may gette for the ahead of the journey,” Logan said
as he fastened the seatbelt around him and drove the car out of the driveway.

Hope wondered where he would take her to and after a while, she bag into the poly bag. They were now out of the main city and
she could see vast stretches of forest only. Such a ce existed in their city only, Hope was surprised to
learn that.
The strange thing she noticed was that hardly any vehicle could be seen heading on the

Out of the blue, she recalled about Jessi and Natasha from her college. She asked Logan about them, but he had no idea.
“Perhaps they belong to the reputed werewolf families.” he muttered. “Why didn’t you ept being their friends?” Logan
inquired.
“Because they never talked to me before. It’s wrong to see when | suddenly became the Lycan Prince’s wife, people want to
approach me and be polite with me, Hope truthfully said and sighed.
“Well, then it’s good you didn’t make them your friends,” Logan appreciated her decision.
“Do you have friends, Logan?” Hope curiously asked. “I bet you’ve a lot because you are so popr,” she mumbled.
“| have no friends. Poprity doesn’t bring friends to you,” Logan rified to her. “So, I’m like you when ites to friendship,”
he added. They were now traveling through the forest which Hope just noticed and asked him why they were in the forest.
“Is it allowed to be in a forest?” Hope queried.
“Yes,” Logan replied. After a while, he applied brakes as they were finally at their destination. He stepped out of the car first,
followed by Hope, who wandered her eyes around.
“Follow me,” Logan said.
Hope went to him and followed Logan closely. “So, your secret ce is a jungle!?” she arched her eyebrow.
“Yep,” Logan agreed. He grasped her wrist and walked faster with her. They finally reached a wooden house in the middle of the
forest, underlying beneath the blue sky and was5 surrounded by thick canopy of trees. Such a picturesque sight was new for
Hope. She was awestruck by the natural beauty of that ce. The ancient water system, at the foyer of the wooden house
grabbed Hope’s attention first.
She left Logan’s hand and ran ahead of him. “Is this your house?” Hope asked.
“Yes.
Logan took out the keys from his pocket and opened the door’s lock. “Come inside,” he stated as he gazed at Hope, who was
ying with water in the fountain.
Hope ran inside the house and was mesmerized to see the interior. The interior

designing of the house was a nd of contemporary and modern style.
“Will we stay the night here?” Hope asked.
“Yes,” Logan said and went ahead.
Hope, on the other hand, quickly checked the space. Her eyes fell on the strange photograph above the firece. She picked it
up and looked at the photograph.

“Is this Logan when he was young? They seem to be his parents, Hope murmured. She smiled when Logan sn atched it from
her, flustering her.
“You aren’t allowed to touch anything here. If you broke anything here, I’ll throw you out, Logan warned her and ced the photo
frame back to the firece counter.
“Why would | break anything? Can’t | even see what you and your parents looked like?” Hope pouted her lips.
“Go and freshen up upstairs. Don’t you wish to eat anything?” Logan opined.
“Yes, I’m hungry,” Hope stated and went upstairs in the room whose keys Logan handed to her.
He, oppositely, went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for them. Taking off his zer, he folded his sleeves up and washed the
vegetables he had brought from the market earlier. He began preparing the chicken soup, along with other side dishes.
Within twenty minutes, Hope also reached downstairs, but she had a towel wrapped around her body. As she came to the
kitchen, her eyesnded on Logan, who was cooking lunch meals for them. Hope’s eyes darted at Logan’s veins on his forearms
and found how exceptionally handsome he looked.
Logan picked up the lid and his eyes lifted when his eyesnded on Hope. His one eyebrow arched as he saw Hope’s bare legs
and arms- a scene he had not expected at least from Hope.
