Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Hope: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 40

Noah    She was beautiful. Her wolf was a reddish brown. an uncommon color in our pack. The playful, happy prancing was adorable. She now lay sleeping, curled up in the middle of my larger wolf form. I could feel and hear the beating of her heart. I couldn’t wait for her to wake up and go running again.  Being able to spend time together as wolves was something I dreamed about. I hadn’t yet spoken to her in our mind link. That would have to wait until I marked her. Only immediate family, mates, and Alphas with their Beta could do it.   She started to stir after a couple of hours. The sun was up now. I could see the shine in her auburn coat. Her eyes blinked open.  I gave her a lick on the top of her head. She yawned and stretched. I stood up and shook my fur out. She did the same. I went over to the water and took a drink. She joined me. Then we ran throughout the property. She stopped often to sniff and inspect

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

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

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

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
