“| want to meet my Dad. Will you take me to him?” Hope expressed her wish as they both sat inside the car.
“Now?” Logan asked, surprised by the sudden request.
“Yes,” Hope affirmed.
Logan hummed thoughtfully and then drove towards the colony where Kasper and Martha were now living in a small one-room
apartment.
Once they had resided in a grand vi, but their circumstances had deteriorated. significantly since then. Both Kasper and
Martha were consumed by remorse for what they had done to Hope, but no amount of regret could undo the past.
As Hope observed their situation, her heart softened towards her parents. Despite the painful memories, witnessing their
miserable condition stirred feelings ofpassion within her.
Martha weed them into the modest apartment and gestured for them to sit on the worn-out sofa. Despite its less than ideal
appearance, Hope obliged and took a seat.
Noticing Ka''s absence, Hope scanned the room for her father. “Kasper is still at work,” Martha informed them.
The news troubled Hope deeply. Her father rarely worked on weekends, and learning about his extended hours only added to
her sense of unease.
While part of her acknowledged that her father deserved consequences for his actions, she couldn''t help but feel a pang of
sadness knowing that he, along with her stepmother, had already endured their fair share of hardships and lessons.
“What does Dad do for living now?” Hope asked Martha, who was on the floor.
“Your father works for the constructionpany as a good carrier. He is not a permanent employee though,” Martha replied.
Logan didn’t pity their situation since he felt they both deserved to live that think we should leave,” he suggested to Hope.

“No, let’s wait until Dad returns,” Hope requested. She knew Logan was not in afort to be at this ce, but she couldn''t
leave without seeing her father and talking to him.
And the doorbell rang. “Your father is here,” Martha said with a smile and rushed to open the door.

Kasper quickly entered in and was quite happy to see Hope. “Are you well? Forgive me for not able toe to see you,” he told
Hope and asked Martha to bring something for them to cat.
“No, thank you,” Logan coldly said. He couldn''t tolerate their faces since they both tortured Hope for years. Just for Hope’s sake,
he was quiet for now.
“Dad, why don’t you sit? I''ll bring water for you,” Hope opined and headed to the kitchen, which was visible from the small living
room. Logan had no idea what his wife was upto. Suddenly, she had turned so good to her parents, who once wanted her to be
dead. He could not understand Hope’s mind in this case.
Kasper was scared to sit beside Logan since he remembered the first time Logan asked him not sit until he was asked.
“You should sit,” Logan suddenly said.
“Thank you, but I’m fine this way,” Kasper humbly replied.
“| don’t wish to see Hope getting upset about it, Logan opined. Kasper then sat down on the small sofa. Hope returned with a
ss of water on a tray and forwarded it to her father. Kasper thanked her and drank the water.
Suddenly, he recalled how Hope always took care of his needs before the marriage. Whenever he would return from the office,
Hope would always bring him water first. He never valued her precious daughter and he truly regretted about it.
Kasper’s eyes filled with tears as he drank the water. He could see his daughter’s care and love for him, even after so many ups
and downs.
Martha remained standing when Hope asked them to sit as well. Logan, now had stood. up and went beside Hope. Martha was
hesitant at first and would even look at Logan, thinking he might get angry. However, when Hope insisted on her, she took the
seat.
“Dad, | want to know about my mother. You should tell me truth about her. From which pack she belonged to? | need answers on
this,” Hope straightforwardly inquired her father. She felt beating around the bush would not provide any result. Knowing about
her mother was crucial for Hope.
Logan nced at her and then at Kasper, wondering if he knew anything rted to Hope’s mother, which was kept away from
everyone.
Kasper’s gaze dropped to the floor, his fingers fidgeting nervously. “Why are you suddenly asking about your mother?” he
inquired, his voice strained with apprehension.
“I''ve always wanted to know, Dad. But you never told me the truth about her. Now, it’s time for me to uncover who my mother
was and why you all abused me for so many

years. Hope asserted firmly. She refused to remain silent any longer, feeling that understanding her origins was essential to her
sense of identity.
“What are you hiding from us? Are you truly Hope’s father?” Logan nerjemed, his toneced with suspicion. Though he had
posed this question to Kasper before, he now felt a growing sense of distrust, suspecting that Kasper had been deceitfal win him.
Kasper felt he could no longer keep the silence about Hope’s mother. He was scared with Logan than anyone around him. Lying
was no longer an option. The ruth which he was supposed to hide would have to be revealed finally. But he still fein no keep the
truth hidden.
Logan’s phone beeped and he took it out. His eyes widened to see the message. Dod you have an elder brother. Kasper?”
Logan questioned.
Kasper gulped and he looked at Logan. “Say the truth, or I''ll make your life more miserable than ever. Logan threatened him.

witches. After they both died, | kept you with me and promised my brother. | would never let your true identity be revealed,”
Kasper finally said the truth.
Hope stopped blinking to hear the truth. Her feet trembled and she almost fell to her knees when Logan caught her at the right
time. “He is lying, right?” Hope looked into Logan’s eyes.
Kasper and Martha had left their respective seats by now.
“My father and mother were different Hope said and tears streamed down her cheeks. Logan tried to calm Hope and caressed
her back. She sniffled and looked at Kasper. “Why did you do this to me? Why did you never tell me the truth? You made me
believe you were my father!” Her anger escted
“Because that was best for you. | could not tell you the truth for your safety. Hope,” Kasper said.
“And why did you never tell me you had a brother?” Hope questioned him.
“Because it wasn’t supposed to be revealed,” Kasper pronounced. “You are the werewolf mentioned in the legend, who will be
bestowed with a moon crystal. My brother’s daughter is that blessed person and it was supposed to stay hidden,” he stated.
“Wh-what are you even saying?” Hope got puzzled.
Logan furrowed his brows together as he suddenly recalled about the legend. But he never believed it because it was written
centuries ago.
