Second Chances:HOPE & FAITH

Hero

Dinner was set. We were having a four-course meal and it was going to be the fanciest dinner I have ever attended. Ruby and Sarah helped me pick out my dress. It was pale pink and had a nice slit in the front. The slit wasn't too high to be inappropriate but it sure was there showing off my nice tone legs. I went downstairs and found Lucas waiting for me by the dining room entrance. He was wearing a nice white blazer with black trim and black dress pants. As soon as I saw him I wondered if it was this fancy of a dinner party. Ruby and Sarah even put my hair up and everything. I looked like I was going to prom again. Ruby and Sarah looked beautiful as well. Ruby was dressed in a gold long gown and Sarah wore a black simple long dress. As Lucas escorted us inside the dining room, I noticed a man standing beside Mrs. Eastwood. She walked towards us and gave me a huge hug.

"Hello again," she said. "This is my husband, Aidan's father, and former alpha James." He reached out his hand and I shook it. He smiled at me and then suddenly I heard giggles coming from behind him.

"These are my twin daughters, Madelyn and Katherine Eastwood," he said to me. They were so cute and adorable. I lowered myself to meet their faces.

"Hi, my name is Hope. It's nice to meet you both. I love your dresses," I told them. They both smiled and thanked me in unison. We all sat down and began to have dinner. It was all delicious.

"I am so glad you know all about ur dear," Mrs. Eastwood said.

"So am I," I told her. Everyone was having a lovely time. I was glad meeting Aidan's family was so easy. I really wished he was here.

"I want to head over to the packhouses and formally introduce them to Hope," Mr. Eastwood said to Lucas. I looked over from Mr. Eastwood to Lucas and just continued eating. I don't think they need my opinion I guess. As soon as dinner was over we walked outside and headed towards the marked path.

"The pack houses for families and mated wolves are on this side," Mrs. Eastwood said.

"They are just five minutes away by foot," Ruby added. I wasn't worried about walking, heels or no heels.

"Most of the upper-level wolves and best warriors use to live in the main house but Aidan asked to be alone after the accident," Mr. Eastwood explained. I knew what accident he was mentioning and it broke my heart to think Aidan was in so much pain and rather be lonely then try to find some solace. 

"Only Lucas and Perry live with Aidan in the huge mansion now," Sarah told me.

"That use to be the main packhouse. Everyone coming and going and living together. Was like that for generations," Mr. Eastwood said solemnly.

We finally reached the homes of pack members with families and it was so different from the empty lifeless house I lived in for over a month. Children playing everywhere. Neighbors talking amongst each other. So much laughter and smiles. There was a cookout happening 3 houses down so that's why everyone had gathered around like a block party. The children were all rangled up in one house. While parents were enjoying beers and wine in another. As soon as the pack members noticed us they stood right in there tracks and bowed. After Mr. Eastwood gave the signal they went back to what they were doing. Mr. Eastwood began to introduce me to many people. His face constantly glowing and grinning. At some point, I ended up back where I started by the house with all the kids. I was trying to play with them but it was hard to do in a gown. I was beginning to wonder why we couldn't change before heading over here. Everyone here was dressed normally and super casual. Lucas was watching me from afar. He was drinking a beer with some other guys. I would look over to him and wave from time to time.

  Suddenly I heard a kid shout " Ouch." So I ran inside the house. He had something in his hand but suddenly dropped it. It touched something on the ground and created flames instantly. I tried to look around for water or a fire extinguisher. I couldn't see either so I picked up the little boy and ran to another room. There were like 15 kids in this room. The flames started to grow and I was having a harder time breathing. I told the kids to run outside and I again looked for something to fight the flames with. I could hear more screaming so I went around the house to look for anyone still inside. I could hear screaming coming from the outside now. I was getting dizzy and tired. The screams weren't helping. The was a little girl sitting in the corner crying. I went over to her but suddenly the flames blasted inside the room we were in. It took me by surprise but I ran towards the girl anyways. I picked her up and tried to look for another way out. I then heard whispering coming from the flames.

"Be careful," it said.

"They're watching you," it spoke again.

"DON'T TRUST HIM!!!" It shouted. I got scared as the flames sprung to life and darted more towards us. I saw a window in the far right. I knew this was stupid and risky but I rather have some bumps and bruises then burn to death. I grabbed a cover from the sofa and wrapped the little girl with it. I gripped her head tightly with one hand and her body with the other. I moved as far back as I could and ran straight towards the window. I tried to turn as we landed so the little girl would land on top of me. Everything suddenly went black and I passed out.

"Hey you okay," Lucas said. I heard him but it was still heard to hear completely clearly.

"You're okay Hope," Mrs. Eastwood said softly. I could barely keep my eyes open. I tried to sit up.

"Hey don't move so much," Lucas said as he grabbed my arm.

"LET HER GO LUCAS," I heard a rough tired voice say. I looked over to the door and saw Aidan standing there out of breath. "Everyone out, NOW!" he shouted. Lucas went over to Aidan and gave him a half hug and whispered: " she's a hero, you should be proud, now smile moron she's alive."  I was beginning to drift off again and Aidan ran over to my side.

"Hey hey you okay?" He asked. He tried to lean me against him. I was getting sleepy. I closed my eyes rapidly and Aidan tried to get me to open them.

"Where am I?" I asked. "What, who," I tried to speak but it took too much of my energy to form a complete sentence.

"Do you know your name?" He asked me. "Do you remember me?" he asked with pleading eyes. He grabbed my face and said, " Look at me, what's your name." I was lost in my thoughts about what happened last night. It took me 12 hours to finally open my eyes but I quickly closed them and went back to a comatose state. "Focus, What's your name," Aidan said. I closed my eyes and then suddenly everything came back. The flames and the voice. "FAITH," I yelled.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY," Aidan said sharply. I could see he was angry.

"Nothing, I am sorry I was confused, My name is Hope. Hope Elizabeth Sanderson," I told him. He quickly stormed out of the room. Everyone came back in and checked up on me. I had some soup later in the day. I was still my pink dress. The doctor said to take it slow but that I could go back to my room tonight. I wasn't really sleepy. I feel like I had been asleep for an eternity. I wanted to shower and just do anything but rest. I hated those months I was stuck to a hospital bed. I was escorted back to the mansion by Lucas and Ruby. Sarah was with her mate Paul. They seem to have trouble keeping their hands off each other when they are together so since he came back they have been locked in their home. Ruby said she and Mitch were subtle but preferred to be together obviously. She said she wanted to not let the mate bond consume her but rather control it fully. She once told me I would soon see the magical powers mate bonds had over their hosts. We were heading over to the elevator when suddenly I was pushed inside and Lucas and Ruby remained outside. Aidan was standing in front of the now-closed elevator doors and I was looking at him like a lost puppy.

"Nice dress," he said. I couldn't read his emotions. He didn't look pleased or upset. He came closer to me and took in my scent. I started to squirm and he just lifted me up to stand straight. He was roaming his hands all over my body. His hand on my skin was like electricity. It tingled and brought me to life. I pushed my head back and moaned.

"Don't tease," he said gently. I could feel myself getting aroused by the mere sound of his voice and the slightest bit of his touch.

"f**k!" he yelled. He quickly grabbed me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He kissed my neck and bit down gently. I let out a little yelp and he bit me again just a little bit harder this time. He pushed the emergency stop button on the elevator panel and then pushed us against the wall. He ripped my slit a little more reaching all the way to my hip. He slid his fingers under my dress and pressed them on the top of my core on the outside of my panties. I moaned as he pressed, even more, getting me more aroused. He gave me a deep and intense kiss. Suddenly he moved the fabric to the side and stuck his fingers inside of me. I took a deep breath and swallowed hard. He was pushing them inside me roughly. He grabbed my hair and pulled my head back. He started to lick my neck and moved all the way down to my chest. He pulled the straps of my dress to the side and revealed my breast. I wasn't wearing a bra but wasn't worried the dress was layered and didn't show it unless I would have gotten cold.

"So indecent," He said with a devilish smile. I bit my lip and suddenly he made the elevator doors open and walked me into an unknown corridor. He pushed us through huge double doors and slammed them shut after slamming me onto a bed. He took off his shirt and unbuttoned his pants. He walked over to the bed and lifted himself on top of me. He continued to kiss me and feel my body with his hot warm hands. I was being set on fire with every touch. He took off his pants and finished ripping my dress. He sucked on my breast and began to caress my core once more. He then rapidly inserted himself inside me.

"Ow!" I shouted. I took deep breaths and moaned through my pain.

"Your very tight, relax it will feel much better soon," he said. He was thrusting harder and harder. I was trying to relax but he was too intense. I was going to play fire with fire and I dug my nails into his back and scratched my way up his back.

"Down kitty," he smiled. He slowed his pace and then took out his member and teased me with it. "You miss me now, don't you?" he asked. I didn't respond. I brought him down to kiss me and made sure he felt it down to his core. I let my tongue roam and bit his lip. He began to moan and groan. He slipped back inside me and picked up the intensity with every kiss. He turned me over and started thrusting inside me harder. He grabbed my arms and pulled them behind me. I felt like I was flying and going numb at the same time. I gripped the sheets and pulled on them as he picked up his speed. His eyes went pitch black.

"Enjoying yourself kitten," he said.

"Yes," I said with a low breath.

"Tell me you like it when I make you moan," he said. "Tell me you like it when I push deep down inside you."

"I like it so much," I said softly. " I want more." He quickly got off me and was going to go back on top of me but I pushed him back down and straddle him. I slipped his member back inside me and rode him for dear life. I grabbed his chest and pushed down hard. He was looking at me intensely and he seemed astonished at my boldness. He rose up to give me a kiss and I started to play and pull on his hair. He embraced me harder and moved his hands to my hips to help me move up and down him.

"I want you to scream my name," he said. I looked into his eyes and felt him get even more intense. He was moving me faster and jolting up himself. Our lower halves were crashing into each other rapidly. Suddenly I felt him release and I just shouted with all my might

"Oh god, Aidan,"

"Aidan,"

"You are mine now Hope," he said. He brushed my hair away from my neck and was going in for what I thought was a kiss but as soon as his mouth touched my skin he backed away.

"You should take a shower before bed," he said. I tried to drag him with me but he resisted.

"No I need to go talk to Lucas," he said hesitantly.

"He can wait," I said eagerly. I finally managed to get him into his shower and brought myself face to face with his member.

"You need to get cleaned before you speak to anyone," I said with a devilish smile. I licked him all over and tasted both of us on him. He released again.

"You're going to ruin me," he said. He brought me off my knees and kissed me gently.

"Don't hate me," he said softly. He pinned me against the wall and pushed himself inside me softly. My arms were over my head and he had his way with me. It was gentle and slow but it felt just as intense and all the heat was covering my body again. He gave me a kiss all along my breast, neck, and lips.

 It was over too quick for my liking but if it was up to me I would be doing this nonstop all night.  was standing in his room in nothing but a towel. He brought me to the chair he was sitting on and had me sit on his lap. "I need to tell you something but first, this was amazing and I have never ever felt so alive," he said.

I smiled but then I noticed the look on his face. He looked like he was in pain and concerned at the same time. " I Aidan James Eastwood reject you, Hope Elizabeth Sanderson, as my mate,"
