Chapter 108

“Are you serious?” Roaxana didn’t believe the words that came out of Ryan’s mouth. Was he serious? She turned to face to peerinto his eyes.

‘la

am. Let’s date and know more about each other,” Ryan suggested to her. “Think about it. Whatever your decision be, I'll acceptit,” he asserted.

“What will if | refuse? Will you stop talking to me?” Roaxana inquired him.

“Why would | do that? I'll try to coax you,” Ryan answered. A smile tugged across his lips as he had made up his mind that hewould win Roaxana’s heart. All this time, she made efforts toward him. Now, it was his turn.

“Then, coax me,” Roaxana asserted with an amusing smile on her lips as she wrapped her arms around him.

Ryan leaned closer to her face, not kissing her though. “How would you like me to coax you?” His minty, hot breath brushedagainst her lips. The pad of his fingers trailed on her cheek, causing her to shut her eyes for a moment.

“Roxy, I’m extremely sorry for not listening to you all this time,” Ryan said as their gazes met once more. “I have hurt you. But Ithought that is the best for both of us. My dad didn’t want me to be around you. | couldn’t see him getting angry on you,” heexplained the dilemma he was in.

“Let the bygones be the bygones,” Roaxana opined. “I should thank your elder brother, Noah, who asked me not to leave you.You should be grateful to him,” she stated.novelbin

“What did Noah do?” Ryan questioned with curiousness.

“I've almost given up on you when you refused to talk to me and see me. Noah met me on one evening and asked me not to letmyself get away from you. That's why | again came to rescue you. Noah told me that you would fall into the darkness, which weboth definitely didn’t want,” Roaxana narrated to him how Noah was always there to support him.

Ryan hummed and he internally thanked the Go d for giving him such a nice big brother.“Well, now, you shall let me go.”

Ryan shook her head and embraced her warmly. His head rested on her shoulder. “Roxy, thank you for returning to me. | feel solight.”

She caressed his hair while with her other hand, she patted his back. “You don’t need to thank me anymore. You won the battlewith yourself, Ryan,” she proclaimed.

He pulled away and kissed in the middle of her forehead. This sweet gesture of his surprised Roaxana and her heart fluttered.She held his collars and lingered her eyes on his lips. “Don’t you think we should share a proper kiss? That way we will be officialcouple,” she murmured.

Ryan held the back of her head and claimed her lips. He sweetly nibbled her lips while smiling along that kiss. His one handrested on her waist as he drew her close.

Roaxana wrapped her arms around him, reciprocating his kiss with equal fervor. She parter her lips, letting his tongue enter hermouth. Fire erupted in the pit of her stomach as she craved for more.

Only when they ran out of the oxygen, they decided to pull away and gasped for air. She hugged him tightly while he embracedher with happiness.

Hope was seating in front of the huge lake on a large rock. The lake was situated within the estate of the Moore Family. Lookingat her own reflection in the water, she heaved a sigh, not feeling good.

“Timothy Ravenclaw and Janet Blackflame. | wonder how they looked like. | couldn’t find any of their pictures either nor does myuncle possess them,” Hope murmured. She was in her deep state of contemplation that she didn’t realize Logan had come there.

He took two more steps toward her and placed his hands on her shoulders. She tilted her head and found Logan beside him.“I'm sorry. | couldn’t stay there after knowing who were my parents.” Tears brimmed in Hope’s eyes and she rested her head onhis abdomen.

Logan placed his hand on the top of her head and stroked it. “Take your time, Hope. You don’t have to see your uncles unlessyou want it. No one is going to force you,” Logan stated.

“They found me for their selfish motives, right?” asked Hope as she lifted her head.

“They want to protect you. Alaric and his wife wanted to know how much power this pendant held,” Logan opined. “However,what your heart says is important for me,” he added.

“| don’t know what my heart says. All | want a peaceful life with you no more external stress. They should have at least stood withmy mother. They should have protected her. | don’t need their protection anymore,” Hope proclaimed.

“Alright. Then, we will not talk with them,” Logan asserted.

Hope thanked him for understanding her and gave him space on the rock. “Have a seat here. This place is so serene,” sheaffirmed.

Logan sat down beside her and placed his hand around her shoulder. “The lake looks magical under the full moon. I'll take youhere someday on the night,” he opined.

“What about the upcoming full moon of this month?” Hope inquired.“That’s a good idea,” Logan readily agreed with her.

“Logan, | was thinking if others find out that I'll be bestowed with the moon stone, then they may come after me. Hopefully, thissecret remains burried,” Hope stated while fidgeting with her fingers.

“Grandpa won't share it with anyone. That’s why he called us at a time when no one was present here. About your uncles I’m notsure whether they would disclose it or not,” Logan stated. He asked Hope not to feel worried because he would not let anythinghappen to her.

“| know.” Hope rested her head on his shoulder and fixated her gaze on the lake ahead of her.

Daniel picked up the wine glass as he took a sip and then, checked his watch. “Why the heck she’s not here till now?” hemuttered under his breath.

And then Olivia entered the private lounge in her red high heels. “I’m sorry, Mr. Daniel Rutherford, for making you wait,” saidOlivia and halted in front of him.

Daniel was quick to leave his seat and shook his hands with Olivia. For a moment, he was mesmerized by Olivia’s beauty andthen asked her to take a seat.

“| ordered the red wine since it has already been an hour,” Daniel said and forwarded the menu to her, asking her to ordersomething for herself.

“I've no appetite for now. I'll go with the wine too,” Olivia said, passing a smile to him. Daniel gestured to the waiter, who pouredthe wine for Olivia before leaving the lounge.

She took a sip and gracefully placed the glass on the table. Daniel watched her movements and waited for her to speak.

“Thank you, Mr. Daniel, for agreeing to meet me,” Olivia said.+5

“Well, | will be benefited with this meeting. You said you would help me to destroy Logan Moore. | wonder if you are related tohim or know him,” Daniel said. Earlier, when he got a call from Olivia, he was surprised. Because he wanted to take revengefrom both Logan and Hope, he readily accepted her offer to meet him.

“l can call you Daniel, right?” Olivia inquired.“Of course. | won't mind,” Daniel replied.

“Great, Daniel. | know you are curious to know why suddenly a woman come to you to help you. Actually, | have a great past withLogan Moore. I'll definitely tell you about me once you help me cover the first step toward our revenge,” Olivia asserted.

“How could | believe on you? | mean | must know at least something which makes me trust you, Olivia.” asked Daniel, archinghis eyebrows at her with a dubious

gaze.

Olivia smiled and then opened her mouth to speak. “Daniel, do you know about the wolfsbane cultivation in the village justoutside our city? Even your dear brother went to the Lycan Prince to ask him to find out about it,” she stated.

4Daniel was stunned to learn about it. “How did you find out about this?” He was puzzled.

“Well, | was the one who encouraged the people there to grow the wolfsbane, not to harm the werewolves but Logan Moore. TheLycans are unbeatable, but if made

a special portion it can be fatal for the Lycans. The process is tough and needs a lot of flowers. Don’t you wish to see Logandead who destroyed your image? You can the do whatever you wish to do with Hope,” Olivia pronounced as she shared her planwith her after revealing the truth about the wolfsbane cultivation.

“And what if we get caught? Also, how will | help you in this?” Daniel was still confused about the plan.“Kidnap Hope,” Olivia said with a smirk.“Are you serious? Logan will kill me,” Daniel refused to do so.

“| told you that Logan will be killed, which means he will be!” Olivia asserted with a confident smile.
