Chapter 2 “You will marry the Lycan Prince, Logan Moore, in an hour,” Kasper announced, “What?”
The pain in her heart suddenly vanished as her hand dropped to her lap. Hope heard it wrong. Why did she have to marry the Lycan, who was rumored to kill people around him? Her life was already in hell.
“Father, I-I can—cannot,” Hope stuttered again. However, she gathered the courage to refuse her father.
*Did | give you any choice?” Kasper asked with a stoic expression on his face. “Do what you are told to do, he stated. “You will be married off to Logan Moore and do not come here after that.”
Hope couldn’t take it anymore. She was twenty, yet her life was handled by the others. Her own father didn’t value her presence ever in that house. Hope stood. up and said, “I won’t marry anyone.” This time she didn’t stammer. Her fists were clenched, and her eyes and nostrils were fuming with anger.
Even if today they would beat her before throwing her out, Hope had decided to speak
for her. She no longer wanted to stay a submissive servant to them.
up
“What did you say?” Kasper almost barked at her and rose to his feet. His wife, Martha also left her seat.
“I-I don’t w-wish to marry anyone nor do | care for any favor they did on this family,” Hope said loudly. Her heart was pounding in fear, but she didn’t avert her her father.

The next second, a hard slap landed on Hope’s cheek. She stumbled on her steps as if she would fall down. However, Hope balanced herself.
Kasper then grabbed her by the throat, his thick fingers pressing on her neck. “How dare you refuse your father’s order? Martha, | told you to let her be locked in the dungeon for a few more days,” Kasper stated in anger.
Hope had Kasper’s blood, but not once he saw her as his daughter. She felt if she would die today, then perhaps her miseries would end. She would not have to suffer daily. If she were married to the Lycan Prince, he might also treat her the same way her family did all these years.
Hope again got a slap from her father and he pushed her away.
Because of the strong force of push. This time, Hope lost her balance. But to her 1/3

surprise, she didn’t fall on the floor, but in the arms of a mysterious man. His hazel eyes locked with her chocolate orbs and the time seized between them.
Hope was stunned by the handsomeness of the man, who just prevented her from falling. It would not be wrong to call him a God. The perfection his face carried would melt any woman's heart in a second.
Kasper was shocked to see the Lycan Prince in front of him while Martha confusedly glanced at him, wondering who that man could be.
Logan helped Hope stand up and gazed at her cheeks. They were red and her neck had purplish finger marks. “I'm so sorry, Mr. Moore. You have to see all this. Please have a seat,” Kasper’s tone. suddenly changed. Hope was shocked to learn that the man in front of her was the Lycan Prince.
“Are you Hope Ravenclaw?” Logan inquired in his husky, cold, and assertive tone.
“Yes, Mr. Moore. This is my daughter, Hope-” Kasper paused speaking when Logan. showed him his hand.
“| didn’t ask you, Kasper. So, shut your mouth. Do you understand?” Logan glared at him with his intimidating gaze. Kasper pursed his lips together and apologized sincerely.
“| asked you a question,” Logan said to Hope, who came out of her thoughts.
Her trembling lips parted and she nodded, “Y—yes.
“Very well. Let’s go then,” Logan said.
“Where?” Hope was shocked to hear him.
“To my house, which soon will be yours, Logan pronounced.
Hope stopped blinking to hear his response. He was a ruthless person. But why did he sound soft? No! Why was he talking in such a way with her?
“Martha will dress her up and then-
“Do you wish to die, Kasper?” Logan gave a side glare to him. “I have not punished anyone in these past few days,” he said ina stern tone.
Both Kasper and Martha were stunned to hear his threat. But they were astonished to see that Logan was talking with so much respect for Hope.

Chapter 2 Why?
Logan reverted his gaze to Hope. “Did Kasper physically abuse you all the time?” he queried in his soft tone. The pad of his fingers touched her cheeks, causing her to jolt, a reaction which he had expected from her.
Kasper was scared internally. If his daughter spilled the beans to Logan, it would be his last day on the earth.
Hope, however, was puzzled. She had no idea how to respond.
“Why did you suddenly turn mute? It’s the first time a person is making me wait for too long.” Logan said in his cold tone again.. “That was a misunderstanding, Mr. Moore,” Kasper tried to cover it up with a lie.
“Shut your filthy mouth. | don’t wish to hear another lie or I'll rip you apart into pieces,” Logan announced, thus intimidating Kasper.
Hope couldn't believe her father, who never once was afraid of anyone, was scared of the Lycan Prince. She glanced at her father for a second, who gestured to her to stay quiet.
“Bring the papers,” Logan said
as he sat on the center of the couch. He exuded an aura of a person with high authority. His eyes remained fixated on Hope, who still had not responded to him.
“Sit,” Logan told Hope.
Kasper and Martha thought they were asked to sit. But when Logan’s intimidating voice stopped them. “I did not ask you two to sit,” he stated and asked Hope to take a seat beside him.
Hope, wiping the tears from her eyes, walked toward him. Once she sat beside him, she wondered what exactly was going around. She saw a man handing the papers to Logan, which looked like some legal papers to her.
