Hope“What do you think of Araphyra so far?” Lily asks as we walk.“It’s stunning.”“It is. I feel so lucky to have been mated to Aolis. You know, I made some mistakes in the beginning of our mate bond by not accepting him as my mate. Did you know that?” she asks.I can’t help but wonder if this isn’t more Guardian intuition. Of course, she knows that this is Levi’s child, so maybe it’s an easy guess for her to make.“No, I didn’t know that.”“I was … arrogant, I guess. I took the mate bond for granted. I nearly lost him and it would have destroyed me. The Moon Goddess doesn’t make mistakes, Hope. We do, being the arrogant shifters that we are, thinking we know what’s best for ourselves. But in the end, she is always right. Those who go against her tend to suffer in this life for their arrogance. I’m glad I figured out my own arrogance before it was too late,” she says, before opening a door to a medical center.She doesn’t say anymore after that, but her point is made. She’s saying I
HopeAfter leaving my father and sisters, Tanya and I went back to the airport where her private jet was located. Matthew had remained behind, not at all happy about it. I wasn’t sure how Bjorn would take to having another male in his space, especially a human, and rather than watch my father maul Matthew to death, I’d convinced him to stay behind.Now, however, he’s just as unhappy about me not wanting him to come with us to Araphyra.“I didn’t ask if you could come, Matthew. I didn’t think about it. But trust me, Tanya will be safe. If you didn’t know where you were going, you wouldn’t even know how to get to Araphyra.”“The Queen’s a Guardian, right? Can we ask her when we get there if I can come to?” he asks.“Matthew, what’s this about?” I ask as we fly to our destination.“Look, all my life, I’ve been a guard, a protector, a fighter. Could I go find someone else to guard? Yes, I’m sure I could. But I don’t want that life anymore. In truth, I’ve thought a lot about what you said
LeviWe’ve been hunting two witches, Laris Bevin and Levana. Both of them are responsible the multiple deaths, and most importantly for our purposes, they are responsible for threatening Alpha Xander’s mate, Maeve.Since we’ve never allowed witches into the pack, I don’t know a lot about them, and neither do the other wolves. However, over the past couple of months, we’ve been finding the witches who left their covens or were being hunted by the bad witches and we’ve slowly been bringing them into the Holstin Enterprises apartments. Some are single parents who only wanted to keep their children safe, some thought they were working for the good witches, only to find out they weren’t. All of their lives were threatened if they left the coven, but they did it anyway.I had really hoped to be home when Hope got back, but Maeve found the witches' coven and a large group consisting of wolves and witches, went to attack them.The problem was, when we arrived, we realized that it’s not just a
HopeAfter the tour, Tanya went home to pack and I did the same. I almost forgot that Levi had moved me into his apartment and when I walked in, I realized just how much he’d done to make this place feel like ours.I close my eyes. I made a promise to Levi, and I really intended to keep it, but I don’t want him to suffer knowing our child was born deformed. And if our child dies, I don’t know if I can see that kind of pain in Levi’s eyes, knowing that it’s my fault that his pup didn’t survive.I call my parents, letting them know I’m home and I’m coming for a visit.“Actually, they’re having Alpha Cayd’s going away party tonight in Shadow Falls Pack. Do you want to meet us there? You’re welcome to come,” Carlos says.The timing couldn’t be better. I wanted to talk with Guardian Emlyn and now I have the perfect excuse to do it.“I take it everything is better between the packs now?” I ask. I’ve only gotten bits and pieces of the story over the past year while I’ve been away.“Yes, ever
HopeThis year with Tanya has been a lot harder than I expected. Her anxiety has gotten worse instead of better. When it’s just us, she’s fine. It’s the large crowds that she can’t handle any longer.At every concert, I have to stand where she can see me. When Levi would come to visit, he’d have to stand backstage with me. Having two of us there seemed to make her feel even more safe.I didn’t know it until we arrived in Bucharest and Matthew contacted me on the radio before the concert, that Vasile Northway came to see Tanya perform. Apparently, his family, or most likely he, is originally from Romania. And here I thought that was just part of the tales developed for Tanya’s movies, but no, vampires apparently did originate in Romania.When I told her he was here, she had Matthew invite him backstage. I guess a vampire who killed her tormentor makes Tanya feel safe. He, of course, was happy to come see the concert backstage and it was honestly one of her best performances.Afterward,
LeviWhen Hope agreed to join Tanya on her tour, I had no idea that they would want me to drop her off at an airport in New York so she could fly out right away. However, that’s exactly what happened. Mr. Russell sent Tanya’s private jet and the next morning, I said goodbye to her. Tanya was scheduled to play in Wembley Stadium that night and they wanted Hope there to hopefully get her through her anxiety.I kissed her goodbye and told her to call me when she arrived.She did as she was rushed to the stadium. They were on the verge of cancelling another night but Hope apparently got there in time.I only found out about that the next morning. Rather than stop for the night somewhere, I drove straight through until I got home. Then I slept until noon and went to meet with Alpha Liam.I told him about meeting Hope’s father and that we need to keep our eyes open for hybrids that might be around needing help. Then, I went back to work.I didn’t see Hope for two months. While we talked ever
LeviI was really glad to speak to Hope when I did. Every time I see her, she looks even more relaxed. I can tell that she and Tanya are getting really close, really fast. Just the fact that Tanya suggested calling me to tease Hope about being her ‘friend with benefits’ says a lot.After watching my
LeviBeing able to sleep in Hope’s apartment, being surrounded by her scent, helps me to sleep. But every other minute of my day is either work or frustration.Work is good, but it’s security. If nothing is happening, it’s beyond boring. The frustration comes from trying to locate Hope’s father. Onc
HopeAfter getting off the phone with Levi, I get ready for bed. My room is next to Tanya’s with an adjoining door, so if I need access to her quickly, I can get to her without any delay. After everything that I did today to prove that I am the real deal, I think Mr. Russell is finally accepting tha
LeviI should have had Hope stay in my apartment last night. When I returned to my apartment after work, it doesn’t smell like her. When she comes home again, I’ll make sure her scent is in my apartment before she leaves again.It’s not like I haven’t been working for the last two years and spent lo
