A/N: Hey ya'll just your friendly neighborhood author checking in with everyone. I was really worried about how the last chapter was going to be perceived but just know that I tried really hard to make it just right. If it's not perfect, then I'll just promise to work on it for future scenes. Just keep in mind that this story is not meant to be incredibly realistic. This is a work of fiction so some things will make sense better than others. All I can really say is just kinda go with it and enjoy it as best as you can.

Eternal Wolves Chapter 37

The next morning, Hope and Newt were curled up together underneath the covers deep in sleep with snores sounding out through the room. The peace and quiet was shattered when a couple of loud bangs sounded from their front door. A low rumbling growl rose through the air from under the covers as Newt stumbled out of bed and pulled on his jeans before sleepily stalking over to open the door. Hope peeked out from under the covers before quickly hiding deeper into the blankets putting hers and Newt's pillows over her head. Upon opening the door, Newt was surprised to find that Brenda was standing on their doorstep looking very amused at Newt's current unkempt state.

Newt quirked an eyebrow before smiling sleepily and reaching over giving her a friendly hug and saying hello before gesturing for her to come inside. Brenda took a seat in the desk chair while Newt laid beside Hope stroking her back soothingly as she whimpered from under the covers. "What brings you to visit us so early this morning? We rarely get visitors, not that we're not happy to see you or anything. You'll have to excuse us, we just woke up. Hope's hasn't quite joined the land of the living yet." Brenda simply smiled and nodding in understanding looking between Newt and a hidden Hope. "Well the girls and I thought that since it's been forever since we've had a girl's day we were going to take your mate hostage for the day and spend it doing what we girls do best."

Newt's face broke out into a wide grin as he looked down at his sleepy mate. "I think that's a really good idea. She needs to be around you all more often. I think it'd be good for her to have some girl time. I'm very guilty of keeping her all to myself all the time. I suppose I need to learn to bloody share, eh?" Brenda laughed and nodded as they both set their eyes on Hope who was doing her best to hide from whatever situation was outside the warm blankets. Newt peeked under the covers and pulled the pillows off of his sleeping mates head while stroking her hair gently. Relaying the conversation to her, he watched as she slowly groaned and sat up rubbing her eyes before squinting at Brenda.

Newt gave her a soft kiss on the forehead while brushing away the stray hairs that had fallen in her eyes before nodding in the direction of Brenda. "I really was wanting to sleep some more babe…we fooled around all night last night. I'm so frickin tired right now…" Newt smiled sympathetically before giving her a meaningful look. "I know love, but you haven't seen the rest of the girls for some girl time since the first night I left for patrol. I think it'd be good for you to spend some time with them. They miss you and I know for a bloody fact that you miss them. I'll even go find Minho, Thomas and Gally to hang out for a bit so we'll both be doing something. We can meet up later after we get our fill of relaxing with our friends."

Hope sighed looking over at Brenda who wore an anxious hopeful expression before nodding and smiling a megawatt smile at both of them before giving Newt a look and a message to tell Brenda. Newt nodded in understanding before turning back to look at Brenda. "She says she'll go but that she needs a few minutes to get dressed and collect her things. Can she meet you outside in about fifteen minutes?" Brenda squealed loudly before getting up and dancing around excitedly. "Yes! We're going to have so much fun! Tell her I'll be right out when she's ready. We'll meet the other girls over at my place and see what adventures we can get ourselves into today."

Giving one last wave to them, Brenda skipped out the door and into the sunshine shutting the door behind her. Newt turned to Hope and wrapped his arms around her squeezing her in a tight hug before giving her a kiss on the cheek before laying back onto the bed. "I think you'll have a lot of fun today, love. I'm a little jealous to be honest. The girls are way more fun to hang out with than the boring guys. All we do is sit around drinking Gally's moonshine and complain about life. I can only imagine what the girls have come up with for you guys to do today." Hope giggled and shook her head while dropping the covers that kept her naked body hidden and walked over to their dresser rummaging around for an outfit to wear. "Maybe you guys should think about doing something more active. Like taking a Frisbee out to the fields below camp or go on a run together. You guys are too sedentary nowadays. You could do with some more exercise."

Newt scowled at the ceiling putting his hands behind his head. "We are bloody active, we work all day and for goodness sake love, I'm a frickin Alpha wolf. I don't need to exercise. My bodies in peak condition at all times. Although the same can't be said about Gally. Have you seen him lately? I'd bet my dinner on the fact that Harriet's probably sneaking him snacks and treats out of the kitchen late at night when no one's around. I'm surprised those two didn't turn into bloody sugar plum fairies with how much sweets and sugar they consume." Hope shook her head lightly as she got dressed listening to him babble on about how fit he was and how all the other guys could lose some weight. When she finished getting dressed she looked in the mirror smoothing down her outfit for the day and put the finishing touches on her hair. She was dressed in a blue clouds print chiffon blouse with a white uniform pleated mini skirt with a pair of blue keds and her hair was up in a braided crown up do to finish off the look.

When she was completely satisfied with how she looked she continued to listen halfheartedly as Newt continued talking while she gathered her notepad and a few others items into her blue messenger bag before turning to her mate and stopping him mid-sentence. "Babe, as much as I'd love to stay here and talk more, I have to run and go find Brenda and the other girls before they break down the door and drag me away. I love you and do try and keep out of trouble while I'm gone. Don't get too plastered and don't let the other idiots do anything stupid like burn down the forest or something else okay?" Newt rolled his eyes and held out his arms to her as she walked over and wrapped her in an all-encompassing hug. "I'll bloody try my best, love. Try to come back to me in one piece, okay? I know how crazy Brenda and the others can get when provoked."

Hope giggled and nodded before kissing him one last time on the lips before walking towards the door. She opened the door but stopped and turned around glancing back at her loving mate. "I'll miss you." Newt's eyes softened as he gave her a tired smile. "I'll miss you more, love." And with one final wave, she ran out the door off in search of her friends for some much needed R&R.
