Chapter 115
Caspian and Fleur were finally at the villa. Hope left her seat from the couch and stepped up to see them. “Hope!” Fleur hugged her. “You look exactly like your mother. Did your uncles tell you?” she asked as she withdrew from the hug. Fleur caressed her cheek and found out she was absolutely fine.
“I saw that you were injured heavily, Fleur said while furrowing her brows together.
Caspian glanced at Logan for the answer. “My wife’s visions have never been wrong,” he pronounced.
“Why don’t we all sit before we start conversing?” Logan suggested to them. As they all took the seats on the grand couch.
“We were attacked by a group of werewolves. Hope took the wolfsbane infused arrow, which was supposed to hit me,” Logan began as he gazed at Hope, recalling the incident again. She held his hand, giving him the support.
“I also saw the same vision that an arrow hit her arm and she lay in a pool of blood,” Fleur said as she explained about her vision to both of them.
“I had lost my life, Aunt Fleur,” Hope replied.
“What?” Both Caspian and Fleur were shocked to learn that. “What do you mean by that, Hope?” Her uncle inquired her this time.
“The Moon Goddess saved me seeing the love Logan carries for me. The Moon Goddess blessed me and healed me,” Hope explained them. Logan had again become emotional as he hung his head low.
“Oh my God, Hope! You are a give a second life,” Fleur said with teary eyes.
“Yes,”
“But why did the werewolves attack you?” Caspian asked. “Aren’t the Lycans and the werewolves leaving amicably?” He was bewildered with the fact that the werewolves suddenly decided to attack on them.
“Daniel planned this attack. He used to be my ex–mate, but he rejected me. We interrogated him earlier. However, he said that he was compelled to do it. He doesn’t remember the person who forced him to attack us. Basically, he wanted to kidnap me, not kill me,” Hope revealed to them.

“I still don’t believe him, Hope. You should have let me kill Daniel. Except for death, no punishment is suitable for him,” Logan lamented for Hope’s carlier intervention, his eyes darkening to a deep shade of red as his anger flared once more, coursing through his veins.
“Hope, why did you not let Daniel be dead? Why would someone compel him? Logan, just punish such a werewolf to death,” Caspian remarked as his jaw tightened too.
“Uncle, if Daniel has done it he would have admitted it. What if he is truly forced by someone? Daniel’s father and brother are nice people as far as I know. Daniel will live as a wolf–less. Also, reaching the right person is more important than giving out a death punishment. I don’t wish any rift to create between the werewolves and the Lycans later. That’s why reaching the whole truth is
important.”
Hope believed that if they failed to reach such a person, the danger would still lurk above her for a long time.
“Can a witch compel someone to do such a thing?” Logan asked, looking at Fleur and Caspian.
“No. It is against the laws of nature. However, a sorcerer or a sorceress can,” Fleur replied.
“Isn’t that the same?” Logan looked confused.
“Both are different. Sorcerers use evil ways to gain strength. They don’t care about the consequences as they are filled with the sense of evilness. They can compel you to do anything you want to,” Fleur asserted.
Logan suddenly realized that even he could compel. So, there was a possibility that the attack was formulated by a Lycan like him. However, he decided not to reveal it since he wanted to look for the answer by himself.
“Sorcerers are dangerous, Logan. They can make you do anything they desire. If what happened with Hope was truly done by a sorcerer, then you need to be careful. Hope needs protection,” Caspian stressed upon his words. “Since the Moon Goddess came herself to revive Hope, did she bestow her the moon stone?” he queried them out of the blue.
“No. The Moon Goddess didn’t give any such thing,” Logan replied after a brief pause. “I think people are long about the legend,” he added.
“It is not wrong. Hope will definitely get the moon stone from the Moon Goddess.

So, we need to protect her in a better way. Even my sister left a magical pendant for Hope to keep her safe,” Caspian deduced and finally, he gazed at Hope.
“You can trust us, Hope. We don’t want your bad. At least, let us repent this way for not standing and being with Janet when she needed us the most,” Caspian requested her this time.
“I will think,” Hope said. “It’s a late hour. Aunt Fleur and Uncle Caspian shall stay the night here. I have already readied the bedroom for them,” she offered them.
Fleur glanced at her husband, who nodded at her. “Sure, we will stay the night here. Thank you, Hope, for letting me put forward my words. We three Uncles truly care for you,” he said in his soft tone.
“Hmm. I will show you two the bedroom. Have you had your supper, or else, I’ll bring the dinner to your room,” Hope asked as she offered for dinner to them later. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“We had our dinner earlier, Hope. Thank you for asking,” Fleur said. As they rose from their seats, Hope excused herself to Logan and took her uncle & aunt ahead.
Logan watched them leaving while Clifton spoke up. “Master, I think Hope’s uncle and aunt are genuinely concerned for her.”
“I have nothing to say on this. It’s tough to tell who is right or wrong,” Logan stated.
“Do
you think sorcerers exist?” he questioned.
“They may,” Clifton replied.
Logan frowned to hear her. He wondered if a sorcerer needed Hope to have his hand on the moon stone or he had a bigger plan.
“Ryan, Dad’s been calling me relentlessly today–40 times already. I haven’t picked up any of his calls. Have you?” Noah inquired.
“I blocked him. That man is no longer a part of my life. He kept us in the dark and shifted blame onto others for his actions. Mom would still be with us if he hadn’t manipulated her with his supposed love,” Ryan replied, his tone tinged with annoyance. He handed Noah a glass of red wine before taking a seat on the opposite side of the couch.
Noah took a sip and said, “I cannot believe either that our father would always lie
to us.”
“I will switch the company. I don’t want to see his face anymore even at the

workplace,” Ryan shared with his brother.
“I think you should not do that. At least, not for now. Mom also had a contribution in growing that company,” Noah elucidated to his brother while reminding him how their mother worked on it in the initial years of its establishment.
Ryan turned quiet as he slowly sipped the wine.
“How is your equation with Roaxana now? When will you marry her? Her announcement regarding the marriage with you is booming across all the social media,” Noah stated with an amusing smile.
“I apologized to her. I decided to date her,” Ryan answered.
“Wow! That’s wonderful! You were so angry about being friend with her. You always said you looked at her with a friend’s eyes only,” Noah remarked as he teased his brother.
“It is complicated to explain,” Ryan said and brought the glass closer to his mouth.
“What about your relationship, Noah? You are the elder one. You should get married before me,” Ryan said. “How is Celine doing?” he asked.
“It’s going well. I’ve not asked for her to marry me yet,” Noah replied.
“When do you plan to? I mean, you two have been dating for more than five Ryan commented.
years,”
“I was wondering how to propose to Celine for marriage. I want it to be special,” Noah stated.
“Hmm.”
“Celine is in Paris these days for her fashion designing work,” Noah then told him. “I think by the next week, I should plan something great for Celine,” he proclaimed.
“You should. Celine is a great lady. I’ll be happy to have my sister–in–law. If you need help, you can ask me any time,” Ryan opined.
“Sure.” Noah sipped the wine before lowering down the glass, “Ryan, I’m glad you will finally live again. I was worried for you for the past few weeks. You are the most important person to me in my life,” he proclaimed and asked Ryan to always smile.
“Noah, I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you in the process. And thank you for a great big

brother. You approached Roaxana to make me come out of my terrible state. I’m thankful to you for that,” Ryan asserted, keeping a tiny smile on his lips.
