Okay, alright. Noah just told me I’m a werewolf. I need to calm down. My breathing and heart rate have increased. Noah just got a little closer. That isn’t really helping. I’m freaking out. Werewolves aren’t real. I can’t be a werewolf. This isn’t happening. I think I may be hyperventilating. Am I going to pass out? Don’t pass out Hope, I tell myself. “Hope, love, relax.” I hear the rumble of a very calming voice. I take a big breath. I smell him and start to relax just a little.
“How can that be true?” I ask. “Hope, I know it sounds very farfetched. But I’m telling you the truth. I would not lie to you.” He tells me. “We don’t run around like animals all day. We actually don’t do it often at all. We live regular lives like everyone else. We just have the ability to transform into wolves. We will help you when you turn 18.”

Hope Alpha. He’s the Alpha. I understand the concept. He’s the leader. The man in charge. But what does it entail? I have a million more questions. I stopped walking as soon as he said that. I assume he realizes I want an explanation. “Okay, so I will just briefly explain.” He says. “My Dad was the previous Alpha. My Mom is the Luna. When Dad was killed, his first in charge took over the position until I could. He taught me everything I needed to know. His name is Knox. He was little older than Dad. He’s very trustworthy and he would risk his life for anyone in our pack.” So, when did you take over?” “Five years ago, when I turned 18. Normally, I would have been older, but under the circumstances, I did it after I changed into my wolf. He still helps me with things since I work outside of the community. And our pack is so small that I don’t need to do as much as some other Alpha

Hope I have never met a man as kind, even tempered, and reasonable as my Dad. But even he had a little problem with our story. He asked so many questions that we really didn’t have the answers to. And yet, he has accepted that I will be dating my teacher and one day leaving to go live with wolves. He may not be happy about it, but he did eventually give me his blessing. And that means so much to me. We explained the need to be close to one another. He wants the best for me and doesn’t want me to suffer. So, he agreed to me spending more time with Noah. But I don’t think he will be letting me move in, just yet. Mom and I are both relieved that he is so understanding. Dad does want to speak to Noah privately and to see the whole wolf thing with his own eyes. Mom wants to see it too. So. we will all go over there soon and have another dinner together. By the time we finished that exceptionally long conversation, I was feeling ex

Noah I think Hopes introduction to my wolf went really well last night. He wanted to run and play with her and smell and lick her. But I made him understand that she would be in more pain if we did that. So, he kept his distance. But he was definitely drawn to her. He seemed as protective as me. That’s good. You want your wolf to be on the same page as you. I had no doubt he would be. He has been wanting me to take wolf form in front of her for the past week, so he could meet her properly. I was so glad that I could pick her up and spend a little time with her before class. This separation is no joke. I felt like crap until I pulled up in front of her house. I wish I could take that pain away from her. But we have to wait until she’s 18. She walks outside and I can already smell her. My reaction to her is so powerful now. It grows every day. I have to keep my wolf from coming out. He’s as excited to see her as I am.&n

Hope I ride home with Noah. The boys take their car. I hope no one sees us. Maybe I should be riding with the twins. But I really want to stay right where I am. It was a good day. We spent as much time together as we possibly could. It definitely helps. I have been thinking about something for a while now. I heard the story of Raiden, my Father, being killed. Along with Noah’s father. Then the boys said I need to learn self-defense. No one has said who killed my father or why. And could the same thing happen to Noah? I still have lots of questions. At Noah’s house, we enter the kitchen to a spread of food. “Eat up everyone.” Delilah says. I am starving. “You need to eat a lot more right before you change, so you are probably hungrier than usual.” Noah tells me. Well, that explains that. “So, are there any other changes I should know about?” I ask everyo

Noah All night I worried about what I would do if anyone ever tried to take Hope. It was a fear I had since Dad was killed. But now that I know her, and love her, I am even more concerned. I have to do everything I can to ensure her safety. I’m exhausted and miserable by the time I get into my car. Picking her up is a savior to me. This beautiful person walks out of the house and sits next to me. She is everything. Her smile is like a ray of sunlight. My heart starts beating faster, just at the sight of her. “Good morning love. Did you sleep alright?” I asked. “Not, really, but I feel better now.” She admits. “I might have to start running by your house in the middle of the night. Would you like that?” “Do you think it will make a difference? I don’t want you to have to go to any trouble for me.” She says. “It might. It’s worth a try. If I’m awake anyway,

Hope I think Dad regretted his question the moment he said it. “I mean, not that you two should start touching each other. I just wondered if it would make any difference at this point.” I see Mom laughing a little behind her hand. Noah’s face is blank. I believe he is thinking that he should have just been touching me all along. I feel the same way. Now I’m a little irritated with myself for not just going for it. I overheard Noah explaining to Dad how much he cares about me. This werewolf hearing really comes in handy sometimes. Okay, maybe I was listening in on purpose, just a little. It really meant a lot to me. I teared up just a little bit. I think Delilah knew what I was doing. She gave me one of her sweet smiles. “Well, Mr. Christianson, I will respect your wishes and not get any closer to Hope until she turns 18, if that is what you decide is right.” &ldqu

Noah I am mesmerized by Hope as I listen to her open her heart to me and my wolf. I want to hold her. But I am going to wait. She is the most gorgeous creature I have ever seen. Her heart and soul are beautiful. How was I so fortunate to be blessed with her as my Mate? I know she is cold out here. I am in my fur, so I will be okay. Once she is quiet for a while, I get up and walk over to her sliding door that leads to the kitchen. She follows. “Do you think I should go in?” She asks. I nod my head. “Thank you for coming Noah. I will see you soon.” She waves and I run home. Maybe I can sleep now. The week goes by without any problems or surprises. I go to her yard every night and watch over her house for at least an hour. She usually comes out to see me. I think she wakes up when I arrive. I don’t text her first anymore. She just appears. I know it helps the separation sickness. She always thanks me for it. I am doing it for m

Hope I feel so refreshed when I wake up. I haven’t slept like that since Noah, and I met. I can smell breakfast cooking. I jump out of bed and go to my bathroom to shower and get ready. I’m so excited for today. It’s our first actual date. He said we will be walking a lot. So, I barely squeeze my rounder hips into some jeans and a cute flowy top, since I am literally busting out of all my t shirts. I really need a new bra. This is getting ridiculous. But I shouldn’t complain. Oh, to be a werewolf. Noah’s wing of the house is on the other side from his family’s. He took this space when he became Alpha. He said it is for the privacy of the Alpha and Luna. But he didn’t like being all the way over on the other side of the house until now. He said that now he understands the benefits. Even though we haven’t made use of any of those “benefits”. Noah rushes up the stairs

EpilogueFour Years Later Hope stood on the back deck of their home overlooking the river. She was 6 months away from her degree in Child Psychology. So many wonderful moments were spent in this very spot. She leaned along the railing and thought about the wedding they had right here. It was a year after she graduated high school. Noah had finished building this beautiful home and she had just finished her first year at Harvard. The whole pack had come. Along with Hope's Mom and Dad. It was a beautiful summer day. She had never been happier in her life. She married her Soul Mate. It was beyond her dreams. Another wedding had been performed here a year later. One of the pack who had been searching for his mate for years had finally found her. A human from California. Everyone was thrilled to add one more to their small group. She had accepted their life pretty quickly after learning about their kind. Zander and Zade were still searching. Hope had prayed man
My Hope 52
Noah I have decided that nothing is going to keep Hope away from me. Not my job, not her dad, and definitely not a crazy person. She is my Soul Mate, and she needs to be in my arms and in my home from now on. I won't hide our relationship. I am going to marry her. She is the most important person in my life. I just told her that I am quitting my job. She is looking at me like I'm crazy. Maybe I am. "Noah, you can't just quit your job! That's crazy!" "It's keeping us from being together. I should have been with you at that dance. You should be in my arms, holding my hand." "Noah, I agree that we should be together, but you have responsibilities that prevent that right now. I will graduate soon, and then we can officially become a couple." She insists. "Hope, listen to me. My job is just something I do for extra money and because I enjoy teaching. I have a degree. I can get a job at any of 5 high schools that are within an hour’s drive of here. Or I can do som

HopeI am trying not to freak out as Noah searches for me. I am sending all the love I have through the bond. He said strong emotions will make my location easier for him to detect. He just told me they got Chuck at the airport. That is such a relief. I hated to think that his mom or anyone else would be in danger from that psycho. I can sense Noah is close, then he confirms it. "I feel you Love. I'm almost there. I believe you are on the top floor." I can sense his anxiety. I try sending as much confident vibes as possible.Then I hear feet pounding out in the hallway. They stop right outside the door. "I'm here!" I yell. Then the door comes crashing in. He kicked it down. Werewolf strength. He looks strait at me and runs to my side. His arms are around me. He looks me up and down franticly checking for injuries. He places kisses on top of my head and then all over my face. "Thank God."Then he notices the cuffs and the angry red marks around my wrists from them.

NoahI am losing it. I can't stop pacing and trying to contact Hope. We are brainstorming ways to find her. A couple of our better fighters have joined us at my house. One of our trackers is out at the school getting the scent of Chuck. He may be able to narrow down his whereabouts.Mom's phone rings and she is immediately asking where Hope is. Could this be him? She puts him on speaker and we are all silently listening to the exchange. He sounds much crazier than I expected. I am telepathically linked with Mom, trying to help her navigate this insane conversation. He really thinks she will decide to be with him, after killing her husband, and kidnapping my mate.They agree to meet at the airport. There is no way he is getting his disgusting hands on Mom. But we have to go along with his insane plan if I want to get Hope. I just pray we can find her before Mom gets within ten feet of this lunatic.I finally feel a slight connection to Hope. It's extremely weak. But I kno

Hope I woke up in a room I didn't recognize. It was dark. But I could tell it was someone's living space. I am laying on a couch. My wrist is handcuffed to it. Then I heard his voice, the person who took me I assumed. "You are awake already!" He said slightly confused. "I thought it would last much longer." He mumbled to himself. I deduced by his scent that he was a wolf. But it was definitely different. The smell was faint, but it was there. I sat quietly waiting for some sort of explanation as to why I was brought here. He finally addressed me again. "You are a hard person to take. It seems they value you highly." He shook his head as if he were confused. This man seemed out of it. A little off. I guess you would have to be to kidnap someone. "That's good. They will probably give me what I want f

Noah I couldn't see Hope. She hadn't come back from the restroom. But I could sense that she was irritated. A group of girls from my class stumbled their way over towards me. I kept scanning the room for Hope. Suddenly I felt a body fall into me. I tried to keep them from hitting the floor after colliding with my chest. The girl shamelessly groped at me while I tried to straighten her up. Now I felt irritated. Or was that coming from Hope? "Oh, Mr. Kingston, I'm so sorry. Let me make it up to you with a dance." She said in a flirtatious voice. "No thank you Miss Martin, that would not be appropriate." I said in my most businesslike voice. "Oh, don't be silly. The dance is almost over. No one will care." She touched my arm again as she said this. I felt a sudden pain in my arm. What was that? It wasn't from this girl.&

Hope Noah and I enjoyed a beautiful Saturday together. He made breakfast for the whole family. We all went for a run together. I practiced communicating with them while in wolf form. It was getting easier and more natural every day. I could feel my connection with Noah growing, as well as with his family. My wolf already considered them family from the start. She was very in tune with our connection. The day passed quickly and it was almost time for the dreaded dance. This had to be done to silence the rumors. Zander and I needed to show that we were a real couple. Noah's Mom and mine helped me get ready. Our Moms were like teenagers when they got together. They were hilarious. I was so glad they rekindled their friendship. Mom needed this. They insisted we take pictures before leaving for the dance. Zander and Zade looke

Noah My day just gets worse as it progresses. The confrontation with that kid was just the beginning. He did end up going to the principal and embellished the facts quite a bit. In his story, I pushed him. And he even said he saw Hope and I together. I'm pretty confident that he was lying about that. But I can't be certain. After telling my side of the story during lunch break, the principal asked a couple of students from my class to tell him what happened. Thankfully they told the truth. But I was still going to be under scrutiny for the things I said to him. I told the principal that my brother Zander was dating Hope and I was just protective of my family. I hated lying. But the truth would get me fired at least and possibly arrested. I was also hearing all the rumors. Some were just utterly ridiculous. I was w

Hope The next couple of weeks go by without anyone noticing us hug or kiss each other. His classroom door stays locked during lunch, and I leave a few minutes before the bell. The twins usually join us, just as an extra precaution. But as we are getting more comfortable with each other, we are also not being as careful as we should. Every time I find myself in his arms in the secluded hallway that is practically unused, or in the utility closet in his classroom, I tell myself that it is the last time. But the need to be close to my mate is almost overpowering at times. There is a dance coming up, and I have been asked by a few guys. Noah is not at all happy about this. Today during his class, one of the guys continues to ask me to go with him. I tell him no and proceed to ignore him. But he persists and I know this won't turn out well for him. I’m sure Noah can hea
