Today I will meet the rest of Noah’s pack. I’m nervous but excited. After breakfast, Delilah and I pick up Mom and we head to the mall to find a dress for tonight and some better fitting undergarments. I tell them all about our first date. They are both shooting me questions like teenage girls. They are cute together. I can tell they were best friends by their interactions. I tell them that Noah finally held my hand and how amazing it felt.
After shopping, talking and eating, I finally have my dress. It’s form fitting but modest and covers me well enough for me to feel comfortable. It’s a bluish green that reminds me of Noah’s eyes. Mom was almost in tears when I came out of the dressing room with it on. “That’s the one.” She told me with certainty. I knew she was right. Delilah agreed.
Back at Noah’s house, there was a lot to do for tonigh

Noah “Thank you everyone for coming. I am so honored to welcome my Mate, and your Luna to our pack tonight. Over the next few weeks, we will be training her. I hope that some of you can participate in helping with that. She will be 18 very soon and will undergo the change. I would like to invite you all to attend her transformation. It will be a day of celebration!” Those gathered applaud and cheer. “Because she has been unfamiliar with our customs her entire life, I would appreciate if you continue to honor her by showing her consideration and understanding as her life changes drastically. I know that she will be an unbelievably caring and devoted Luna. Our union ceremony date is yet to be determined. I know this is unusual for an Alpha to not claim his Luna right away, but extenuating circumstances have changed things a little in our case. You may not know that Hope is currently one of my students.

Hope Today was tough. The separation sickness is definitely getting worse. The closer we get, the more the bond increases. Just moments away from him and I am dizzy and nauseous. I can’t wait for my transition so we can complete this mate bond. I need to ask Noah about the details. I’m not sure I understand what happens next. I also hear some whispering about me and Noah. That is not good. I need to be more careful. I mentioned it to Zander, and he suggests putting his arm around my shoulders when walking me to my classes. I agree that it’s a good idea. Give them something else to gossip about and divert attention away from Noah. I need to tell Noah, so he doesn’t get jealous. I’m certain he trusts his brothers, but the bond intensifies his protective instincts right now. I realize how I would feel if I saw Noah wrapped around any other female at this delicate time.

Noah I have been running to Hopes house every night at around 1:00 a.m. That seems to be as long as I can stand the separation. She comes outside every time. We can definitely sense one another more now. I stay in my wolf form. I don’t think her parents know about the late-night visits. She comes out with shoes and a coat on every time now. She put a large blanket on the swing that sits on her back porch. We sit there every night with my warm form around hers. She pets my fur soothingly. Sometimes she talks to me about things she normally wouldn’t. Sometimes she simply falls asleep. Either way, I enjoy the closeness I get to experience with my Soul Mate. She has been doing really well in training. I’m proud of her. She is getting stronger every day. I hope her transition will be as smooth as possible. I will be with her the entire day, in order to help her and comfort her. It is this Friday, and we a

Hope After a crappy and painful day at school, but a wonderful evening with Noah and his family, I finally fell asleep around 11 at night. My belly and my heart were full. I was nervous about my transition, but also couldn’t wait to get it over with. I just wanted to meet my wolf. I had learned a lot about what to expect. I thought I was pretty well prepared. Noah decided to sleep on the floor of my room, in wolf form. He was afraid to leave my side. I appreciated his vigilance and support. I slept soundly until around 4:00 a.m. I awoke suddenly with pains in my arms and legs. Noah was already on high alert. His wolf stood at the side of my bed. “I’m okay.” I assured him as I reached over and pet his fur. I kept my hand on his neck as the next wave of pain hit me. He suddenly changed into his human form. “I will talk you through it.” He told me comfortingly. I sat up and took his hands in mine.

Noah She was beautiful. Her wolf was a reddish brown. an uncommon color in our pack. The playful, happy prancing was adorable. She now lay sleeping, curled up in the middle of my larger wolf form. I could feel and hear the beating of her heart. I couldn’t wait for her to wake up and go running again. Being able to spend time together as wolves was something I dreamed about. I hadn’t yet spoken to her in our mind link. That would have to wait until I marked her. Only immediate family, mates, and Alphas with their Beta could do it. She started to stir after a couple of hours. The sun was up now. I could see the shine in her auburn coat. Her eyes blinked open. I gave her a lick on the top of her head. She yawned and stretched. I stood up and shook my fur out. She did the same. I went over to the water and took a drink. She joined me. Then we ran throughout the property. She stopped often to sniff and inspect

Hope I told him I was ready. I want this. The mate bond, the marking, all of it. I know that it will make our lives much more complicated. At school and with my dad. Noah wants to be married, basically. I just turned 18 last night. But I know in my heart that I want to be with this man forever. Nothing will change my mind about that. So why wait? I would become the official Luna of the pack. I don't honestly know if I'm ready for that yet. I think Delilah would help me. But what about college? I have so many thoughts swirling through my mind. But then Noah looks me in the eyes and takes my hand in his. I feel the affection, the devotion. He will help me. He will make sure I can do anything and everything I want with my education. I no longer have any concerns. "Hope, I want you near me every moment of every day, now and forever. But I want to make sure you can handle everything fi

Noah It's time to talk to Hope's parents about marking her and moving her in. I know this won't go over well. She is as nervous about this discussion as me. I decide that I need to be the mature one and tell them what I have planned. "I know you love and care for Hope immensely. And so do I." I say, looking at both of them. They nod of course. "The next step is that I mark her." "What does that mean exactly?" Asks her dad. He doesn't look happy. Tempest jumps into the conversation quickly. "Like this." She tells him while showing him the faded mark on her neck. Mine will definitely not be like that. Hers is only less visible because she lost her mate. But I wont mention that right now. Asher leans over to his wife and takes a good look at the mark. "I always wondered about that. You never did explain what happened there." "The marking will allow me to communicate

Hope I could see the despair on Noah's face. He was so worried about this. "Hope, it's time to go. Get your things and meet us at the car." My Dad says gruffly. I have never seen him like this. I get up and go to my room to get my bag. Noah follows me. "I'm so sorry, I didn't intend to upset him." Noah says, while taking my hand in his. I stop throwing clothes into my bag and turn toward him. He opens his arms, and I am enveloped in his warm embrace. Unwanted tears are streaming down my face. He rocks me back and forth while running his hands down my back. Leaving tingles everywhere he touches. "I think he will change his mind. He just needs to come to grips with the idea first." I tell him, even though I'm not sure I believe it myself. "I better go." I say as I pull myself out of his comforting arms. He puts his hands on my shoulders and looks me in the eyes. "Hope, w

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

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
