“Whispers of Hope”

Chapter 12 (Zach)

It was the most beautiful sight that I had ever seen.  It was perfect and everything about it just felt right to see Marissa, my mate, cuddled in a small ball on my bed, wearing my lucky red sox tee shirt.

I sat down beside her on the bed taking care not to jostle the bed too much and gently brushed the loose tendrils of her hair back from her face.  Who would have thought, my Marissa, a wolf?  She was the most beautiful wolf that I had ever laid my eyes on with her snow white fur and the small black marking shaped like a pearl just above her tail, breathtakingly beautiful indeed.

My eyes dropped to the small mark that I had made on her shoulder.  It was that mark that officially identified Marissa as my mate and I couldn’t help but smile.  After all this time she was really and truly mine.  

I let my hand graze slightly over the mark and took great satisfaction in watching her tremble slightly just from my touch alone.  If her body reacts this way in her sleep, I could just imagine what would happen when we fully mated.  

My lips curved up as I pictured my hot little mate writhing in pleasure beneath me.  Oh yea, it would definitely be sizzling and I couldn’t wait.  

I turned my head at the sound of a light tapping at my door.  Letting out a long sigh I knew that it had to be Amy and she wanted answers.  She had been rather patient with me, not asking any questions even when I showed back up at the party with Marissa in my arms and both of us donning only our birthday suits.

She just gave me that sisterly look and grabbed a few pieces of clothing for us before bringing the car around and driving us home.  

Leaning down I pressed a sweet kiss to my mates forehead and lingered a second longer to breathe in her enticing scent.  The tapping sounded once again just a notch louder and I knew that I had put it off long enough.  I tucked my little mate in up to her chin and stood looking down at her once more, my mate, I thought to myself.  After all this time she was finally mine.

Regrettably I turned and walked to the door.  I pulled it open only to come face to face with my twin holding her hand up ready to knock again.

“Took you long enough” she mumbled sarcastically at me.

I rolled my eyes and gently brushed by her.  “Is dad downstairs?” I asked knowing that she was hot on my heels.

“Yea” she quipped and abruptly run smack into the center of my back when I stopped at the living room door.  

Turning around I faced my twin sister who was just recently mated herself.  She had that glow about her, the one that women get when they are expecting a child but her eyes showed concern and told a different story, tshe was worried.

With her hands fisted on her hips she stared me down, “Do you mind explaining to me what the hell is going on?” Amy all but screamed at me.

I grabbed her by the shoulders in an effort to calm her down but the glare that she gave me said there would be none of that coming any time soon.

“Amy” I told her coolly, “Why don’t we go and sit down and I’ll explain to you and dad everything, okay?”

Her blues eyes shimmered with accusation but she gave me a quick nod of the head.

“Fine” she said and silently stomped towards the couch.  It’s got to be the hormones.  I heard all about pregnant women and the hormones.  Pregnancy does something to women that makes them all crazy like that.  Leon even told me that you have to sometimes treat them with extreme delicacy, almost like you would a small child.
