All Chapters of His Only Hope: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Bryan I knew I shouldn't have lost my patience with her the moment I walked out of the room. She was just so purposely infuriating. I had no idea how I was going to get through to her when I couldn't even ask her a question on a topic she was knowledgeable in. I just wanted to know what that dream was about. It had felt so real, and my heart broke for that sweet little girl who had been my mate. When I woke up I tried to brush it off as just another dream, but the more I continued to try to go about my day, the more it pushed itself to the forefront of my mind. I had gone to the store and bought enough food for a week, made coffee and an omelet for breakfast, but still, I couldn't shake that dream. Perhaps she was right and I should call her mom, maybe she would give me the answers that her daughter refused to give. I also needed to check and be sure they gave Ellie her memories back like she asked, afterall, all of this would fall apart before we even got a chance to build on it if

Bryan When we pulled up to the campus bookstore she demanded that I stay in the car while she ran inside to get her books. Andu didn't like the idea of her going in there alone since she was unmarked, especially with all of the guys that we'd seen wandering around the campus, but I assured him that she knew who we were so she wouldn't dare attempt to go back on her word. She wasn't inside long, but as I watched her come out of the building I saw her talking and smiling with two other girls. I couldn't help but wish I could get her to smile and talk to me like that as she said her goodbyes before climbing back into the car. I drove back to the house, noting that she didn't want to speak with me as she immediately turned the volume up on the music when she got into the car. I wasn't sure how I was going to get her to open up to me, especially when she didn't even seem willing to try. As soon as we got back to the house she poured herself a glass of wine before retreating to her bedro

Bryan We carried her artifacts down to the basement, and I was utterly surprised by what I saw when we got to the bottom of the stairs. The basement was incredibly organized, with all of her decorations separated into sectioned shelves that lined the wall. I couldn't help but to notice that she had a whole wall of shelves that were full of totes labeled as Christmas decorations, which was way more than any of the other decorations she had. She lead the way through the large basement until we came to what appeared to be a brick wall that housed the electrical box. I couldn't help the smirk that came to my face as she opened it up to reveal a biometric panel. She scanned her hand first, then, once it was accepted, she stepped over to stand infront of it as a red light started flashing. I watched as the panel scanned her retina, before a robotic voice welcomed her to the space. Then a loud hissing sound occurred, followed by a scraping sound as a section of the brick wall opened up an

BryanI spent the week with my sister enjoying her company and getting to know my niece. She was quite adorable as far as pups go, and made me want my own even more than I already did. I had hoped to have several of my own, but it seemed fate had other plans for me. My sister, her husband and Ricky enjoyed spending the week teasing me about the fact that I was on my third soul bond, though all of us knew that if this didn't work out, there was a good chance that I'd turn feral and never come back from it. My parents had already told my sister Bryanne all about my new bride so she had tons of questions for me during our stay. It didn't help that Ricky was laughing as he told her how mean my new wife was to me, so ofcourse, my sister had her concerns. I reassured her though, making sure she knew that Josie was slowly softening up towards me, and that I was sure that her attitude was the result of her grief over losing her husband not even a year ago. She seemed to understand that I was

Bryan Something about the way the Vampire Prince spoke so casually of her husband's death infuriated me. I knew on the anniversary of his death she was hurting deeply, I had seen as much all day as I watched on while she drank herself into a stupor. At one point I even sat on the floor in the hallway outside her bedroom door worried sick that she was going to fall and hurt herself. When I finally heard her heart rate even out I went into her bedroom and put her in bed, since she had fallen asleep laying on the floor of the walk-in closet, cuddled up in his clothes. My heart ached for her. I knew her pain all too well and I hated that she had to experience it. Then that vampire showed up here, just walked in like he's been invited in before. Then he started making jokes about her husband's death and trying to convince her to drink with him as if she ever needed a drinking buddy. I did my best to hold Andu back, but he was even more furious than I was. Still though, I knew she had her
