HopeAfter a fun night with Levi, we slept a few hours before getting up to spend the last few hours at the beach before having to check out and head back to the pack. Now that I have my apartment in the city and I know that Alpha Liam is expecting me, I want to pack up my things and head in with him tomorrow morning. Since he has to leave early to report in, I’ll be leaving early with him.Rather than drive home with my family, I decide to drive home with Levi. There is something that I want to talk about with him and I’m glad that we’ll have some time alone to talk without anyone listening in.“So, I have a favor to ask you, Levi,” I say after we’ve been on the road for a while.He glances over at me from the driver’s seat. “That sounds serious.”“I want you to hear me out before you say anything, okay?” I say. I already know he’s not going to like this.“Okaaay. Why don’t you just tell me so we can discuss it.”“I want to keep our mate bond secret … for now.”I watch the muscle in h

HopeI thought I might see Levi after we got back to the packhouse, but he must have realized that I’d be very busy. I went to see Sirona, who didn’t know that I was leaving tomorrow morning. She gave me a pregnancy test and told me I’d have to use condoms for a week until I knew whether or not I was pregnant. Once I knew for sure, then I could start taking birth control pills or get the injection.After that, my mother didn’t leave me until late at night. She cried a lot while we packed my things, talking about memories of when I was growing up and funny times we had as a family.It wasn’t until my father came to get her that I was able to settle down and finally get some sleep. Although, sleep did not come easy. Part of it is my own fear of starting my new life. As excited as I am to be leaving the pack, I’m also nervous. But after spending hours laughing and crying with my mother this afternoon, another part of it is nostalgic. I’ll still be a part of this pack, I’m not severing my

HopeI can’t believe Levi just told this women I’m his girlfriend. And he kissed me in front of her and Alpha Liam! It’s one thing to kiss him in front of my family, but in front of a stranger? AND Alpha Liam? My cheeks are so hot, I’m surprised I don’t burst into flames.‘I think it’s sweet,’ Qadira watching our mate wink at us.When the elevator doors close, I walk into Alpha Liam’s office. I sit in the chair he gestures for me to sit in and rather than sitting across from me, he sits in the chair beside me. All Alphas are intense. Qadira is powerful enough that their auras don’t bother me too much, but their confidence, their air of always being in control, intimidates me. Probably because I’ve never felt like I have that level of control in my life.“I know you just arrived this morning, Hope, but how do you like your apartment so far?”“It’s great, Alpha. Thank you so much for finding space for me,” I say.“Well, your parents paid for it, Hope, so it’s not like I did anything exce

HopeMy celebration with Levi lasted until well into the night. Thankfully, my mate set an alarm, early enough, apparently, that we could ‘celebrate’ again this morning before I met with my potential clients and he had to go to work.“Let me know how you’re doing when you can, Hope. I love you and I’m going to miss you terribly,” he said as he kissed me goodbye.“I miss you already,” I told him.He kissed me again, long and lingering, then pulled himself away from me as if he wouldn’t let me go if he didn’t.I hated watching him go, knowing it would be a long time before I’d see him again. But at the same time, I am very excited to meet THE Erika Edwards and to see if this is the right fit for me and for her.I showered and dressed in one of my pant suits that mom and I had gotten for interviews and business meetings, put my hair in a ponytail, and headed upstairs to meet with Tanya, aka Erika Edwards, and her father.When I get upstairs, I remember what Levi said about the receptionis

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 long periods of time away from her, but that was before I knew she was my mate. Now that it’s confirmed, I want to be around her all the time, I want my mark on her neck, her scent in my apartment, and her body in my bed.When I walk in, I pick up the letter that Justine must have slid under my door and set it aside. I put on some jazz music while I make myself a quick dinner of spaghetti with meat sauce. It’s an easy, bachelor’s dinner. While I eat, I pull my computer over and begin searching for polar bear shifters who went missing eighteen to twenty years ago. I was hoping that using Holstin Enterprises system would make it easier for me, but their system is predominantly about wolves. Ther
