“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 placed 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 glanced 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 placed 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 get late 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 particular reason. If we stop by the dress house at this hour, we may get late 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 place 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 accept 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 popular,” she mumbled.
“| have no friends. Popularity doesn’t bring friends to you,” Logan clarified to her. “So, I’m like you when it comes 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 place 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 place. 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 playing with water in the fountain.
Hope ran inside the house and was mesmerized to see the interior. The interior

“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 fireplace. 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 placed the photo frame back to the fireplace 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 blazer, 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 eyes landed 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 eyes landed 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.
