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
My Hope 41
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

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
