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

    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 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 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 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

    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

    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.

    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
