Noah
“Hope, I love you with all my heart.” I tell her while holding her soft, beautiful face in my hand. I look her in the eyes and hope her response will be the same. I just wait. She smiles. “Noah, I love you too. I never knew that I could feel like this. You are everything to me.” She tells me honestly. I pull her back to my chest and hold her tight. I am so happy at this moment. I have my Soul Mate, in my arms, and she loves me. I am feeling this electricity running through me from our connection. It’s amazing. I don’t even have words to explain it. How will I not touch her all the time so that I can feel these amazing tingles. It’s exhilarating and soothing at the same time. I will only have this feeling with her.
After I hold her for a little longer, we go put the picnic basket back in the car. Then we drive to a different part of the park. We hike for a little while. I hold her hand the entire time. I

Hope Today I will meet the rest of Noah’s pack. I’m nervous but excited. After breakfast, Delilah and I pick up Mom and we head to the mall to find a dress for tonight and some better fitting undergarments. I tell them all about our first date. They are both shooting me questions like teenage girls. They are cute together. I can tell they were best friends by their interactions. I tell them that Noah finally held my hand and how amazing it felt. After shopping, talking and eating, I finally have my dress. It’s form fitting but modest and covers me well enough for me to feel comfortable. It’s a bluish green that reminds me of Noah’s eyes. Mom was almost in tears when I came out of the dressing room with it on. “That’s the one.” She told me with certainty. I knew she was right. Delilah agreed. Back at Noah’s house, there was a lot to do for tonigh

Noah “Thank you everyone for coming. I am so honored to welcome my Mate, and your Luna to our pack tonight. Over the next few weeks, we will be training her. I hope that some of you can participate in helping with that. She will be 18 very soon and will undergo the change. I would like to invite you all to attend her transformation. It will be a day of celebration!” Those gathered applaud and cheer. “Because she has been unfamiliar with our customs her entire life, I would appreciate if you continue to honor her by showing her consideration and understanding as her life changes drastically. I know that she will be an unbelievably caring and devoted Luna. Our union ceremony date is yet to be determined. I know this is unusual for an Alpha to not claim his Luna right away, but extenuating circumstances have changed things a little in our case. You may not know that Hope is currently one of my students.

Hope Today was tough. The separation sickness is definitely getting worse. The closer we get, the more the bond increases. Just moments away from him and I am dizzy and nauseous. I can’t wait for my transition so we can complete this mate bond. I need to ask Noah about the details. I’m not sure I understand what happens next. I also hear some whispering about me and Noah. That is not good. I need to be more careful. I mentioned it to Zander, and he suggests putting his arm around my shoulders when walking me to my classes. I agree that it’s a good idea. Give them something else to gossip about and divert attention away from Noah. I need to tell Noah, so he doesn’t get jealous. I’m certain he trusts his brothers, but the bond intensifies his protective instincts right now. I realize how I would feel if I saw Noah wrapped around any other female at this delicate time. After re

Noah I have been running to Hopes house every night at around 1:00 a.m. That seems to be as long as I can stand the separation. She comes outside every time. We can definitely sense one another more now. I stay in my wolf form. I don’t think her parents know about the late-night visits. She comes out with shoes and a coat on every time now. She put a large blanket on the swing that sits on her back porch. We sit there every night with my warm form around hers. She pets my fur soothingly. Sometimes she talks to me about things she normally wouldn’t. Sometimes she simply falls asleep. Either way, I enjoy the closeness I get to experience with my Soul Mate. She has been doing really well in training. I’m proud of her. She is getting stronger every day. I hope her transition will be as smooth as possible. I will be with her the entire day, in order to help her and comfort her. It is this Friday, and we a

Hope After a crappy and painful day at school, but a wonderful evening with Noah and his family, I finally fell asleep around 11 at night. My belly and my heart were full. I was nervous about my transition, but also couldn’t wait to get it over with. I just wanted to meet my wolf. I had learned a lot about what to expect. I thought I was pretty well prepared. Noah decided to sleep on the floor of my room, in wolf form. He was afraid to leave my side. I appreciated his vigilance and support. I slept soundly until around 4:00 a.m. I awoke suddenly with pains in my arms and legs. Noah was already on high alert. His wolf stood at the side of my bed. “I’m okay.” I assured him as I reached over and pet his fur. I kept my hand on his neck as the next wave of pain hit me. He suddenly changed into his human form. “I will talk you through it.” He told me comfortingly. I sat up and took his hands in mine.

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

Hope I told him I was ready. I want this. The mate bond, the marking, all of it. I know that it will make our lives much more complicated. At school and with my dad. Noah wants to be married, basically. I just turned 18 last night. But I know in my heart that I want to be with this man forever. Nothing will change my mind about that. So why wait? I would become the official Luna of the pack. I don't honestly know if I'm ready for that yet. I think Delilah would help me. But what about college? I have so many thoughts swirling through my mind. But then Noah looks me in the eyes and takes my hand in his. I feel the affection, the devotion. He will help me. He will make sure I can do anything and everything I want with my education. I no longer have any concerns. "Hope, I want you near me every moment of every day, now and forever. But I want to make sure you can handle everything fi

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
