I became the Purchased Wife Of The Lycan Prince (Hope and Logan) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79
In the office:
Hope checked the documents, which she was supposed to photostat. Suddenly, the phone in her pocket rang and she quickly checked it, thinking if it was from Logan.
However, it was the an unknown number and she answered it. Bringing the phone near her ear, she heard a voice.
“If you want to know about your mother, then come to the location I’ve sent you. Keep in mind not to tell anyone about this, or else you’ll lose the opportunity to know about your origin, voiced someone from the other side of the call and it was disconnected before Hope could even ask anything.
She looked at the message popped on her screen and saw it was from the unknown person, who called her. The problem was she couldn’t send the reply to this person, but could only read it and follow what he had asked her to.
‘I have to find my mother. I’m sorry, Logan. I have to lie to you, Hope thought in her mind and looked toward the glass door of the office. She put the documents inside the file and walked into the office.
Logan was on a talk with a manager and she remained standing at her place. After his conversation ended, Hope went to him and placed the file on the desk.
“Logan, I have got an urgent work outside,” Hope said, “I have compiled the documents in this file. You only need to sign on them.”
“What urgent work did you get?” Logan asked.
“Umm… Gloria is sick. She has no one by her side. I couldn’t refuse to her,” Hope lied to him while taking Gloria’s name. “I’ll do extra hours work,” she added.
“Ahh, you don’t have to. I’ll tell the driver to take you to Gloria’s house,” Logan said.
“I’ll go by taxi. You don’t need to trouble the driver,” Hope said.
“Oh, why? It’s not a trouble at all for Kaiden. It is his job and he is supposed to do it,” Logan affirmed. Hope fidgeted with her fingers, thinking what she should do. She was supposed to go alone when an idea clicked in her mind.
“Alright,” Hope let him send Kaiden with her. “Thank you, Logan.”
“You don’t have to be, Logan said and called Kaiden. He instructed him to drop outside. Gloria’s house and stay there so that he could pick her up later.

Hope left the office and got into the car in which Kaiden was present. He dropped her outside Gloria’s house.
“Kaiden, it will take me at least three hours here. Lunch time is near too. You should go back. I’ll call you when I feel the need,” Hope told him.
“Madam, the Lycan Prince has given me the strict instructions to wait for you. Please don’t worry about me,” Kaiden affirmed and passed a smile to her.
“I’ll feel bad, Kaiden. You should return. I’ll handle Logan,” Hope insisted this time. She had to send him away to reach the place, where the unknown person had invited her. She had to know about her mother.
Kaiden couldn’t get away from Hope’s insistence and agreed to leave. She assured him. she would call him back when Gloria’s parents would return. As soon as Kaiden left, Hope booked a cab for herself.
The cab driver dropped her in the old town of their city and drove away. –
Hope looked at her phone for the address and then walked some distance to finally reach an old restaurant. It didn’t look in a good condition and from its closer look, Hope found out that it was abandoned long ago. The ground was covered with dust and even the walls of the restaurant were not in the good shape.
She scanned her eyes around, but couldn’t find anyone. Did anyone set a trap for her?
Hope turned to get out of the restaurant when her gaze fell upon a man with a deep scar running right from the middle of her right eye to the cheek.
For a second, Hope was scared from the man, not because of his scar but because she was alone with a man.
“Ar-are you the one who called me?” Hope asked while stuttering. ‘Gosh! How can you stammer? That way he will scare you,’ she cursed herself in her mind.
“Hope Ravenclaw, you’ve grown up into a beautiful woman just like your mother,” the man said and strode toward her.
Hope clutched the sides of her blazer in fear, but she remained rooted at her place.
“I am Alaric Blackflame,” he introduced himself and forwarded his hand for a
handshake.
Hope shook hands with him. “How do you know me and my mother? And why did you. ask me to be here?” she asked as she withdrew her hand. Her eyes once again wandered around.
“I am your maternal uncle, Alaric. Your mother was my sister,” he pronounced.

“What? Really?” Hope couldn’t believe his words. If he was her uncle, then where he was for so many years that he suddenly appeared in her life now.
“I knew you would not trust me, that’s why I will show you this,” Alaric said and took out the pendant he had around his n*eck.
Hope stopped blinking to see that as it was the same pendant, which her mother had. left for her. She gazed at him. “This-”
“One is with you. Victoria had the other one, which she passed on for you,” Alaric revealed to her. “My sister ran away with her lover because she didn’t want to stay as a witch and I could never locate her. I found out about you when your marriage with Logan got public,” Alaric explained to her.
“So.
what do you want from me?” Hope asked.
“You need to come with me, Hope,” Alaric said.
“What? I cannot come with you,” Hope asserted. I will tell Logan about you and then-” Her voice was interrupted by a feminine voice.
“Alaric, just kill her,” the middle-aged woman said.
