Jessica Jones Hope Novels & Stories

“For God’s sake, can’t you just rest and recover? No one’s going to risk coming after you in here. And even if they did, you’re going to have police protection; no one will be able to get to you. Give yourself time to heal.” “And more people are going to die while I’m lying here playing Solitaire.” “Do you really think the VSP is helpless without you? That we can’t solve this case without your input?” Outrage sizzled along his nerves endings. Did she really believe he was that incompetent? “Of course not,” Jessie said, her voice softening, “but I think you will have a much better shot of drawing him or her out with my help.” “This is crazy,” he said. It was ridiculous to even talk about it.

"And who are you?" Jessica choked, barely maintaining her composure. She had no idea if he truly had no idea who she was or was faking it. But she could only assume it was the former and continue her gentle act. "I'm Jessica Brown, the female lead from the movie Miracle, the fourth-highest-grossing movie at the box office last year." Caleb straightened up and stared squarely at her, prompting her smile to grow. That was until he spoke again, "No idea."

Looking at my reflection in the elevator doors, I replied, "Let's leave it to fate." As the elevator doors opened, Miles and Nora were standing there, chatting intimately. The moment Miles saw me with Carter, his expression darkened instantly. "Leilani Jabs, are you so desperate for a man that you're talking about 'fate' with someone younger?" I simply smiled faintly at him, unwilling to respond. Carter cleared his throat. "Uncle Miles, you misunderstood Leilani. Don't you have someone else now anyway?" Nora's lips curled into a satisfied smile. Then, Miles took a deliberate step away from Nora in response, his expression unchanged. Nora's smile quickly faltered.

--- When they got back to the room, Jess sat on her bed and stared at the wall. Maya sat on her own bed. Watched. Waited. After a long moment, Jess spoke. "I knew better." Her voice was quiet. Flat. "I knew better than to get excited. Than to let myself hope. I told myself not to. And I did it anyway." "Hope isn't wrong, Jess." "It is when it ends like this." "It's not wrong. It's human." Jess looked at her. "How do you do it? How do you keep everyone at a distance? Doesn't it get lonely?"

I hope ****

said Jake "Yeah, that guy would never-oh look who's here," Gray said while staring at the glass doors of the airport entrance, this made Jake turn his head towards where Gray was looking and they saw a very flustered looking Skylar jogging and waving his hands towards them. "Ugh he acts like a child I swear," said Gray with an annoyed expression "Don't be so harsh on him," Jake spoke while waving back at Skylar "Hey, *huff* guys! I'm so sorry *huff* for making you guys wait for so long!!" Said, Skylar

“Calm down, my friends. This is why we are here. Hope went undercover a few years ago. I had a druid suppress her mind and hide her true nature. She came to the Council after being contacted by an agency running First Team.” Hope nodded. “Mister Andrews,” she wasn't sure to call him Colin so she went with his surname. “Amber Johnson is alive and being held in Kettering, Ohio. What you saw was a memory from last week.” Hope glanced at Cullen. “Alpha, I remember everything now. I can give a full debriefing to the Council and Mister Andrews if you are ready.”

“She took off. Limping and crying. She panicked when I asked the doctor to come up and take a look at her ankle.” Vinnie halted, standing frozen in place. “Did you not go after her?” I shrugged. “She’ll be back. She can barely walk.” Vinnie dropped the bags in the hall and opened up his coat, pulling out a thick envelope. “I don’t think so, Alpha,” he said, handing it to me. “Joey did a bit of detective work. Hope’s real name is Hope Louise Gray. She’s had a rough life, Alpha.” He turned to leave.

As she stood beside him, watching the racers circle the track, Jessica allowed herself to believe that her future was finally bright. She didn’t see the darker plans forming in Leonard’s mind. She only felt hope. And for the first time in a long while… Jessica truly believed that everything she had done was finally going to be worth it.

I smiled. "Oh." "What?" "It's just Jessica is all over him in the weight room. She's been crushing on him forever." "Jessica with the pink hair?" I asked. Hope nodded. "She's such a slut. Sorry. Not very feminist of me." "Didn't offend me." Hope chuckled. "But I'd get in there and get your man before she sinks her claws in him." "Thanks." I headed to the weight room and sure enough, there was Riley and Jessica talking. She was feeling his arm muscles. He was smiling at her.
