Hope's POV:

In the next few days we make our way back to Rivendell, where everything started. Elrond is still there. I introduce everyone to my parents. Jackson and the Crescents decided to come back with us.

They're tired of the woods and not knowing what's out there to defend themselves. Elrond offered them a place right outside the Elven city. Right now we're all waiting for Frodo to wake up. We're all worried about him.

I've been catching up with my family, telling them everything that's happened back in our world after their deaths. I tell them of my life here as well. It's so good to have them back. Right now I'm walking with Aragorn through the halls of Rivendell, hand in hand.

I've enjoyed my time with him while we're here. It's nice. We're walking past Frodo's room and we hear talking an exclamations of joy. I smile at Aragorn and the two of us walk into the room. Frodo is awake. Merry and Pippin are jumping on the bed, shouting happily.

Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf are in there as well. "Aragorn, Hope." Frodo says when he sees us. We just smile at the young Hobbit. After talking with Frodo for a while and hugging her goodbye the two of us exit the room once again. Tonight Aragorn is leaving for Osgiliath.

I'm not going with him because we're doing a switch of the Alpha's. I'm being named Alpha of the Crescent pack. "I do wish I could stay here for the ceremony my love." He says as we stand outside the stables.

"You have a ceremony of your own to prepare for. Don't worry about me, I will make it to Osgiliath just fine tomorrow." I say. He nods and kisses my forehead. He then climbs onto his horse, Gimli and Legolas are mounted behind him. "Be safe Hope." Legolas tells me.

"I will. You three be careful." I say. WIth one more nod they are gone. Sighing I turn to see my mother and father behind me. I smile. "It's been years since I've seen you this happy. I'm so happy for you babygirl." My mom says, hugging me.

"I still think he isn't good enough for you." My dad says. I laugh as I pull away. "Well he's the best man out there so I think I got a good one." I tell him. He laughs. "That you did. Now, we have a ceremony to rehearse." He says, offering me his arm.

Grinning I link arms with him and the three of us head to the new pack location. I talked with Elrond, since he is passing into the undying lands he is leaving Rivendell to me. It's what Arwen would want.

I still wear Celebrían's crown everyday as a reminder of the family who cared for me in my time here. A family who I will never forget. The rehearsal ceremony is simple. All I have to do is cast a spell and I'll be the new Alpha.

After I am sent to bed early so that I can be well rested for my day tomorrow. After the ceremony I am heading off, with a few of the wolves for guard, to Aragorn's coronation. I'm happy for him. He ran from this life, he was born to be King.

The next morning I wake up to my mom shaking me. I open my eyes and she is beaming down at me. "Oh sweetie, I'm so excited for you. Come on, time to get ready." She says. I allow her to pull me up and usher me into the chair at the vanity.

She sits me down and begins combing out my hair. As she braids and twists my hair into a bun she talks to me. I missed this so much. My mom was my lift before she died and when she died I lost the person I confided everything in.

Once she's done with my hair she goes over to the wardrobe and gets out a dress. It's the same one from the feast the night before the secret council meeting. It fits the occasion perfectly. Finally she adds Celebrían's crown and amulet. "You look beautiful sweetheart."
