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
Noah I stay with Hope until the sun starts to rise. I changed back into my wolf form so that I could stay warm and wrap her smaller wolf inside my protective embrace. I could feel her even breaths and hear her steady heartbeat. That always makes me feel content and at ease. I nudge her gently and lick the top of her head. I have to return home and get ready for work. I absolutely hate the thought of leaving her, but I already took Friday off. She will stay home today and adjust to her new abilities. She will also need more sleep. Hope's wolf eyes pop open and she looks around in surprise. She isn't used to her sharpened senses. I'm sure she can hear the other creatures in the woods waking up as well. I touch her nose with mine. She closes her eyes and nuzzles under my chin once again. She doesn't want to get up. I have to drag myself away from her.&nb
Hope After talking to Noah for a while, and him explaining that we must wait, we decided to take a run and hopefully calm my wolf down a little. She is anxious to spend time with his wolf. We run and play for a couple hours. Chasing each other and exploring the forest. It's amazing. My wolf is so content. I am starting to feel more of her emotions, and she is responding to me better than before. I just wish I could talk to Noah and his wolf. He is determined to wait to mark me until we get permission from my dad. But I have gotten to the point that I don't care what Dad says. I'm 18 and I need my mate. I can sense so much more in my wolf form. It's truly amazing. The sounds, smells and sights are so much sharper and clearer. Noah says it will even be stronger after we complete the bond. With the aid of your other half, you are stronger and more powerful. 
Noah When Hope runs out of the house, it just tears at my heart. I know she felt like I chose her dad’s happiness over hers, but that’s not it at all. I don’t want to see her suffer. But I think it would hurt her relationship with him in the long run. I’m thinking of her future. Our future. I want us to have a good relationship with her dad. My wolf is ripping me apart inside my head. He is so angry that we let her run away from us. He is singularly focused on her. He doesn’t consider the long-term consequences.Maybe I should be more like my wolf. Hope’s Dad approaches me solemnly. I have no idea what he is thinking at this point. Does he want me to go after his daughter and protect her? Or does he want me to leave and never come back. My heart is racing franticly. All I want to d
Hope Noah’s lips are so close to mine that they are already tingling. He is so hesitant. I can feel his heartbeat pick up speed. Then his soft luscious lips finally touch mine. My eyes are closed, but an explosion of lights greet me with the powerful tingles that are created by our joining. His pace is slow and gentle. The sparks are moving down through my body as the kiss continues until I feel them all the way to my toes. I have never felt anything like it. This is far stronger than when we touch. He deepens the kiss and I inadvertently moan. I feel him smile as he continues his beautiful torture of my senses. His large hands are in my hair. Mine are around his waist. I glide my hands up his back and feel all the muscles tighten and bunch as I move them up.Then I hear him moan, and it sends a thrill through me. Knowing that I am affecting him as much
Noah I reluctantly leave Hope at her house. Our first kiss was more than I could have ever dreamed. I immediately sensed more of her emotions. And they were clearly exactly like mine, in that moment. I didn't know the electricity between us would increase that much more as well. It was insane, and amazing. Just the thought of her being away from me is making my wolf go wild. I am trying my best to soothe his instinct to drive back to her house immediately. I'm sure that I won't be sleeping much tonight. I will try to wait as long as possible to go to her. It's already one in the morning, and I have to go back to work tomorrow. I suggested she spend at least one more day out of school in order to bond with her wolf and try to gain better control of her. I will come over at lunch time to calm her down. I hope I don't arrive to a similar scene as hours ago. The though
Hope I want Noah to mark me so badly. My wolf is losing it. He stops kissing and licking my neck and looks directly at me. "I'm sorry love, we can't right now. I have to go back to work. And when I mark you, I want to spend the entire day with you. It's a very intimate moment that I don't plan to rush through. Our emotions and bond will be heightened. I won't be able to leave your side for some time after the marking." I am embarrassed that I was so forward with him. My cheeks are on fire, and I try to look away. He won't allow it. He cups my cheeks and ensures that I am still looking directly at him. "Don't be shy my love. I am thrilled that you want my mark as much as I want to give it to you. Trust me, it's taking all of my strength not to sink my teeth into your beautiful neck right now and make you mine." A shiver runs up my spine with
