I became the Purchased Wife Of The Lycan Prince

Chapter 55

An hour ago (6:00 p.m.):

Ryan stepped out of the car upon reaching the address provided by Roaxana. He quickly dialed her number to inform her of his arrival.

“Wait for five minutes, Roaxana instructed before ending the call.

Ryan tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for her. After exactly five minutes, he heard the gate open, and Roaxana emerged, followed by Hope and Gloria.

“You three look stunning and gorgeous,” Ryan complimented them. “Shall we go then?” he asked.

As they settled into the car, Ryan took the wheel and drove towards the college, engaging in light-hearted banter along the way. “| didn’t think you’d actually come,” Ryan remarked to Roaxana.

“| had to, considering you practically begged me. Who knows, you might have shed a river of tears if I’d declined,” Roaxana teased him.

“Let's keep it civil, Roxy, especially in front of the youngsters,” Ryan admonished gently. He didn’t wish to talk about his breakup at this moment.

“Hope, where is Logan? | thought he would he coming,” Ryan said as he glanced at her through the rear-view mirror.

“Logan is busy at work. He has an important meeting,” Hope replied.

“| think it was a board meeting. All the board members be there. Grandpa will soon step. down as the chairman,” Roaxana explained to her.

“Oh.” Hope wondered if Logan would become the next chairman. Her initial plan was to call him after reaching the ballroom, but now, hearing Roaxana, she decided not to trouble Logan.

Finally, they reached at the college.

“Ladies, I'll be parking the car. You three should step out and go in. I'll see you there,” Ryan opined. After the three of them exited the car, Ryan went ahead in the parking lot.

“Let's go inside, Gloria told them with a wide smile on her lips. They were given the masks and the trio wore them.

“| suddenly remember the old college days,” Roaxana said.

“| think you were popular in your time. You are such a gorgeous woman. Even your style is unique and different,” Gloria pronounced.

“| think | was,” Roaxana agreed to her. “Who is your partner for today?” she then inquired her.

“A senior had asked me out. But | think he’s not here.” Gloria answered.

“Usually men reach before their women at such places,” Roaxana stated.

“| agree with you,” Gloria replied. “But he messaged me earlier that something came up,

he will be a little late,” she added.

By then, Ryan entered the ballroom and told the two of them that he had to take Roaxana with him.

“Ah, sure, sure,” both Gloria and Hope said at the same time. Ryan and Roaxana went away with hands in hands.

“Is Ryan with your sister-in-law?” Gloria asked her.

“No. They are friends since University time, Hope replied.

“Oh, that’s wonderful!” Gloria stated. “I do hope Justin comes here soon. The ball will start shortly,” she asserted.

“He will. Don’t worry.” Hope answered. They took the mocktails as the waiter walked past them and enjoyed the drinks in each other company.

“Oh, Justin is here,” Gloria said as she put away the glass and wiped her lips.

“You look so gorgeous,” Justin complimented Gloria as he took her hand in his and kissed her knuckles. He waved his hand at Hope, who passed a smile to him.

“lll be back soon,” Gloria said and went with Justin to the dance floor.

Hope was now all alone, feeling a bit nervous, but she was happy for both Roaxana and Gloria, who were enjoying their dances with their respective partners.

**Present Time**

Soon, the clock struck 7:30 p.m. and Gloria was back to her with Justin. “It was fun. The music kept changing and it made the night filled with excitement,” she

Proced. Finally, Logan also arrived at the ballroom. Seeing Hope in the dress which he chose for her truly mesmerized his eyes. He approached her ASAP upon seeing a guy had asked Hope for the dance.

But at the right time, Logan stopped before her and asked Hope for the dance.

“The dance is almost over,” Gloria pronounced.

“It isn’t,” Logan said and waited for Hope to grab his hand. Once she did, he took her ahead to the dance floor and held her close.

Hope’s breath hitched as the two came closer. “Sorry for making you wait. You look so pretty. Your eyes look expressive,” Logan whispered as they began moving with the rhythms of the music.

“No

need to apologize. | understand you must have been tied up with the meeting. Sister Roaxana mentioned it was a board meeting, Hope responded, meeting Logan’s

gaze.

“Yeah, it was,” Logan confirmed.

“Will you still be considered for the chairmanship? | haven't conceived yet,” Hope inquired.

“That contract holds no significance anymore. Grandpa is content that we’re married. We'll have kids in due time,” Logan reassured her in a hushed tone.

He then gently took her hand, twirled her in place, and gracefully dipped her backward. His grip on her waist remained steady, while Hope’s trust in him was unwavering.

“| think we are going to set this dance floor on fire,” Logan said as he pulled her up gently. He heard her heartbeats growing with each passing second. Since the dance floor was not bright lit, so he took the opportunity and kissed Hope, taking her by sudden surprise.

They nibbled each other’s lips, their feet jammed for a moment as they were engrossed in each other. As they pulled away, they both smiled at each other, resuming the dance again.

Logan had started enjoying even the tiniest moments with Hope. “Olivia did teach me how to dance, but you made me teach how to enjoy it,” he whispered against her lips.

“Really?” Hope was astonished by his sudden compliment. She hardly used to get such romantic gestures of compliments from him.

“Yeah. It was my final year in the college. As usual a ball was organized, but | didn’t attend it,” Logan said.

“Why? You had a partner that time,” Hope reminded him.

“| never got the thrill to enjoy it. Olivia asked me multiple times, but | just couldn’t. | was busy in a project and | wanted to finish that. All these things hardly make me feel

finally making Logan see what how much importance she also held in his life.

“Your eye makeup will ruin if you cry now,” Logan murmured...

Hope ended up smiling to hear him. “I love you,” she said. Since the moment she had admitted her feelings for Logan, she would make sure to say the same words to him again and again.

“| was desperate to see you tonight. The men’s eyes were on you and it made me feel jealous,” Logan stated. “I think they all fell for your beauty, Hope. But you are mine. You are Logan’s Moore wife and mate,” he asserted.

“| know. I’m yours, Logan,” Hope said with a beautiful smile on her lips.

They didn’t realize when they reached at the center of the dance floor while dancing. Right above their heads was hanging a giant chandelier. The nuts on it loosened and one of the bolts hit the marbel floor.

Because of the music hardly anyone could heard such a sound. And the next moment, the chandelier fell from its position. Hope’s eyes moved up and they widened. “Logan!!” She pushed away him, not caring got her own life.
