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

Mom and Dad sat in the front discussing everything from decorating the house to their new jobs.

New experiences make a fuller life. I would keep telling myself that.The concern my mind kept wandering back to is school. Will I make any good friends? Will people like me? Will I have the kind of deep and meaningful relationships I left back home? I truly hoped so. Mom said that the world is full of friends that you just haven’t met yet. I believe her who

HopeMonday morning came before I knew it. We spent the last few days unpacking our entire life. There were still a couple boxes here and there. But Mom was highly organized and kept us focused on getting things as normal as possible. I was glad she forced me to hang up all my clothes. I could easily see what I wanted to wear. I nice warm sweater. Perfect for the first week in January. I let my long curly hair hang loose down my back. It was light brown with some natural highlights. Mom says I’m gorgeous. But that’s what Moms are supposed to say. I think I look alright. Guys say they love my hazel eyes. But I assume that is just a pickup line. I’m a little taller than most girls at five foot nine and still growing. Mom says I have model height. I just feel slightly embarrassed that I am taller than some of the guys in my class. And I have a hard time finding dresses that go to my knees and pants that don

HopeZade and his brother are in my next class too. Now that I don’t have a huge masculine distraction, I can pay attention to my surroundings.
