***Rowen*** I had just finished adjusting my tie when I heard a knock at Colby, and Lexi’s door. I had to admit that them knocking made me chuckle given how many times we’ve done group dates, and Jax always gave me shit for knocking on the door of the apartment he lived at. I heard Colby chuckle as well as he opened the door. “Hi gorgeous.” Colby said as he looked over Lexi. “Damn it. I got the wrong apartment. I was told there was a hot Alpha here, waiting for me.” Lexi joked, making me snort. “Hey.” Colby gripped. “I’m kidding handsome. You look great.” “Can I have the Alpha standing behind him?” Chastity asked. “I guess.” Lexi grumbled playfully. I grinned as Chastity walked around them to come to me. She looked beautiful in her green dress. It fit her nicely, and I could tell it made her comfortable. One thing I learned about her is that she was not very comfortable in overly form fitting, low cut, or short clothing. Yes she wore tank tops, but only with something over it.
***Chastity*** The next two months went by quickly. I did end up going home during the mate ball. I spent my first night in Rowen’s apartment that weekend. Jax wasn’t exactly happy about that, but Rowen, and I were. He had come here to visit twice as well. I was becoming more comfortable with our sexual activity too. I was less embarrassed, and nervous every time. I didn’t know what was next, but I was curious. Classes were going well, and I was really enjoying them. They’re challenging, but so interesting. I still kept ahead as much as possible. Lexi, and I were still looking for another person to ask about coming back to our pack with us, but we were hopeful we would find someone. After the issue with Julie on Valentine’s Day, she stayed away from all of us, Lexi, and me especially. After the mate ball she disappeared. We found out that she had found her mate at the ball, and instead of him staying with her here until she finished school, she dropped out, and left with him. I was
***Rowen*** My meeting with Robert lasted a little less time than I expected it to. We were working through a list of his pack members that were interested in my warrior training program. I had also gotten recommendations for Moonlight pack members that might be good for some of the higher education schools at Dark Moon. Robert was going to forward the applications over to the schools for me. We also discussed the education school Molly wanted again. The Dean of the teaching school at Dark Moon was still not really sure how he felt about Molly’s program. He was also resistant to the idea of splitting up the school. He knew Molly’s idea had merit, and he couldn’t deny all of the proof Molly had that pups learned better with the curriculum she proposed, but he was still resistant. Robert suggested adding a few classes that were in line with Molly’s ideas for a semester to see how it went. I was hopeful that the Dean would see that it would be better to split the school. “By the way, w
***Chastity*** The next morning Rowen woke me with breakfast in bed. I was honestly a little shocked that he was awake before me. He did reassure me that he was not the one to make my food. Thankfully. Seeing his smiling face the moment I woke up always made me so happy. “Good morning sweet girl. Happy Birthday!” Rowen said as he placed the tray of pancakes, eggs, and bacon on my lap. “Thank you.” I responded as I smiled at him. “You’re welcome. Did you sleep well?” “I did. How long have you been up?” “About an hour.” “Why didn’t you wake me?” “You needed sleep, and looked too peaceful to disturb. Plus it’s your birthday! Of course I’m going to let you sleep in.” “Well thank you. What are we doing today?” “Nice try. I’m not going to tell you. It’s a surprise.” “Oh. Please?” I gave Rowen my best puppy dog look, pouty lip, and all. “Don’t do it Rowen!” I heard a female say from the bedroom door. I looked up to see Gina standing there, smiling at me. I smiled back. “Good mor
***Chastity*** When I stepped out onto the sun porch I almost jumped out of my skin when all my friends, and family yelled surprise at me. The sun porch was fully decorated with rainbow streamers and balloons, tables of food with light purple table clothes, a table full of presents, and a huge banner that read HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It all looked so amazing. I looked at every one with a huge smile on my face. “We had a feeling you might know we were throwing you a party, sweet girl, but wanted to try to surprise you any way.” Rowen said as he came up to me, smiling. “I was surprised. I didn’t expect a party. I figured it would just be dinner with everyone. I love this. Thank you.” I responded, as I wrapped my arms around his waist, and gave him a hug. “You’re welcome. Molly, Melissa, Naomi, and Gina did all of the decorating.” Rowen explained. “It looks great guys. Thank you.” I said as I hugged each of them. “You’re welcome.” Naomi said as she returned my hug. “Happy Birthday! I’m so
***Rowen*** I woke up the next morning feeling fantastic. Partially because my Chastity was in my arms. The other part was because of what I did to her the night before. I had been dyeing to eat her for months. Every time we messed around her scent had driven me crazy. Everything had gone exactly as I had hoped. Duke had been a pain though because he kept trying to get me to fuck her, but I knew she wasn’t quite there yet. I agreed with him on hoping it would be soon though. I smiled into the back of her head as I remembered every moment of last night. After she had fallen asleep I had slipped out of bed, and snuck into the bathroom to jerk off. I had almost cum when I was eating her, but some how managed not to. I appreciated her asking if I wanted her to take care of me, and even considered letting her, but for some reason I hadn’t wanted her too. Before I got back into bed I had slipped one of my t-shirts on her because I knew she would be uncomfortable waking up completely naked
***Chastity*** It had been a busy week with all of my midterms. I did really well on my paper, and I hoped I did well on my midterms. I would know in a week or so. I was confident though. That was something I had noticed more and more. I was becoming confident in myself, and my abilities. It felt really good. When I told Dee-Dee about how I was feeling she was really happy for me, and told me how proud of me she was. I had worked really hard to become confident, and becoming a better me. I was proud of myself as well. Dee-Dee assured me I had come a long way a lot quicker than she expected, and to keep up the good work. Rowen was so proud of me. He did ask me how I did it. I told him about reminding myself of all I had accomplished, as well as looking closely at what, and who I had in my life. I did start listening to what others were saying to, and about me. I started really looking at myself in a different way when they spoke. It helped a lot. Feeling confident in myself felt like
***Chastity*** Rowen, and I spent our morning just hanging out in my room. I was working on a homework assignment while he was working on his paperwork to finalize his warrior training program. It was nice having a quiet morning just the two of us. I also liked that Rowen kept rubbing my back as we both worked. At 11:30 we headed out to meet Ace, and Jessie for lunch. We were only going to the cafeteria, but it would be nice for the four of us to spend some time getting to know each other. Especially because I wanted to know more about Jessie. Ace already knew of us from being in our pack, and tutoring Colby in high school. They were already seated when we reached the cafeteria. After grabbing food, we joined them. “Hi guys.” I said with a smile. “Hi Chastity.” Jessie responded smiling back at me. “Ace, Jessie, this is Rowen. Rowen this is Ace, and Jessie.” “It’s nice to meet you.” Rowen stated with a nod. “I’ve never personally met you, but I know of you.” Ace said quietly. “Y
Thank you all of my fans, and readers. Thank you for you time, patience, and support as I worked to write, as well as publish my first book. I really do appreciate your patience when I struggled to move the story forward. I also appreciate your continued support. Thank you for walking this journey with Chastity, Rowen, and me. I don't know if I'll ever write another story, but I did enjoy this one. Again, thank you. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you stuck by me through this, and that even though I wasn't sure anyone would like my story, you all did.
20 years later ***Rowen*** Some times it’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since I almost lost my mate, my sweet girl, my Chastity. First because of my own stupidity. Second because of a horrible, manipulative female. I can’t even imagine what life would have been like if things had gone differently in any way that day, or any day after that. Sometimes I still kick myself for my own foolishness, and then I am thankful that I got the chance to make it right in every way. Life since then has been as close to perfect as one can get. Dad, Dimitri, and Uncle Peter retired when Jax, Ross, and I stepped into our roles. To say they loved it would be an understatement. They stepped into the grandparent role like no body’s business. Dad, and Dimitri never did look for second chance mates. Dad didn’t want to feel like he was replacing mom. Dimitri never completely trusted his own judgement again so they filled their lives with their grand pups, babysitting all of them everyday, and there ar
***Rowen***I woke up early the day after Chastity’s graduation. I know the reason was because I was beyond excited. Chastity was coming home, permanently. Today was the last time we would leave here together. She was coming home. She had gotten her degree, and was one step closer to living her dream. I was so proud of her. Thinking back to the day I found out she was my mate, to today, my sweet girl has come so far.There were times when I wish I could forget that day. Just erase it all from my memory. To erase the fact that I rejected her, and she almost died from my memory, and our past. I sometimes wished that had never been her life. That she never experienced the things she did, that she had never had to struggle as she did, but at the same time…She wouldn’t be where she is right now. She may not be the person she is if those things hadn’t happened. If I had accepted her immediately instead of being an idiot, the abuse she suffered may not have stopped. It may have
***Chastity*** The next morning I woke up to Rowen’s fingers buried inside me. I did enjoy the mornings he woke me up that way. It always started my day with a smile. His smile was pretty great too. Together we went down to have breakfast with Lexi, Colby, Norm, Marcus, Jessie, and Ace. These last few meals with them were bittersweet as they really were the last few with all of us together. I was going to really miss seeing Norm, and Marcus every day. I was also going to miss Colby, and Lexi, but they would be home in a few months. As soon as Colby finished at Denu. “We’re all supposed to be at the pack house at 4:00 today guys. Don’t forget.” Lexi stated. “Why do we need to be there?” Ace asked. “To celebrate.” Lexi answered. “Party!” Norm squealed making us all laugh. “Yes it will be a small party.” Lexi agreed. The graduation was going to be pretty small with just 6 midwives, and 10 nurses. Due to that it would be held in the main auditorium of the school. The graduates had t
***Chastity*** Once I started working in the hospital the months seemed to fly by. I loved every second of it. I learned so much in such a short time. Being able to apply what I had learned in the classroom made me feel very accomplished. My instructors also said they were very impressed with me. That made me feel wonderful. I still had my weekends free, thankfully. Two weekends a month I would either go home, or Rowen would come to Cloverland. If he could get a week away he would come stay for the week. I loved those weeks, but also felt bad about them. I loved them because of the time we got to spend together. I also got to fall asleep in his arms, as well as wake up in his arms. I felt bad about them because of the amount of time he spent alone due to me being in class. He didn’t complain once though, and always talked about how proud he was of me for doing what I was doing. My emotional, and mental struggles had become almost a thing of the past. Yes I still had moments here, an
***Chastity*** Spending 4 days at home had been a nice little break between semesters. As soon as I got back to school orientation, and class prep began. Lexi, Jessie, and I hit the ground running as soon as classes started back up. Norm was lucky because this semester all of his classes were still in the classroom. The three of us only spent a few weeks in the classroom before we moved into being in the hospital. That was where the real work began. Our class schedule was less, but due to the nature of the classes that was necessary. We were now only taking 4 actually classes, but they were all equally important, and put us in different sections of the maternity ward during the class week. The 6 midwives in training were divided into 3 groups of 2 between the 3 midwives that were all instructors. Lexi, and I both got a laugh out of the fact that the midwife we would be working with was Beth’s midwife. We found that out our first week on the ward when Beth, and Robert came in a pre-na
***Chastity***Sunday morning Rowen had a lot of last minute things to do to prepare for Alpha Theo’s arrival so I decided to spend the morning with my dad, Braxton, and Jax. I missed having Colby there too, but I enjoyed spending time with my family. Dad ended up deciding to give Braxton, and I both a driving lesson. He also spent time helping us review the Driver’s handbook. Braxton was 16 now, and it was time for him to get his license as well.After we were done with our lesson, dad, Jax, Braxton, and I went to the deli in town for lunch. I was glad we decided to go there instead of the diner again. As much as I enjoyed the food there, I was not in the mood to deal with Rachel again. I also wanted a deli sandwich. Once we ordered our food we jumped right into conversation.“How do you think you did this semester Chas?” Braxton asked.“I think I did pretty well. I know I got good grades on all my assignments, and stuff. My final grades will be out by the time I get back.
I wanted to let everyone know ahead of time that I'm not sure if there will bd an update this weekend. I've been struggling a bit, and have been unable to write the next chapters. I'm still working on it, but if there is no update this week that would be why. I'm hoping I can get some thing I am happy with written this weekend. I'm really sorry to let you all down, and I'm hopeful I can get more chapters out next week. Thank you for your patience, and support through this journey. I've enjoyed reading your comments.
***Rowen***I was so glad Chastity found a way to come home this weekend otherwise it was going to be several weeks until I got to see her again. I did feel bad that I wouldn’t be able to spend her entire visit with her, but unfortunately I had responsibilities. I was really surprised when Chastity offered to join me while I did the final walk through with Alpha Theo. She said she wanted to see first hand what I was trying to accomplish. Saturday morning I didn’t let Chastity out of bed for several hours. We probably would have stayed there too, but we both wanted to let our wolves go for a run, and do whatever it is they felt like doing. It was nice to let them have their time as well. They deserved it as much as we did. This whole situation was much harder on them because while Chastity, and I some how managed to spend as much time as possible together, it wasn’t always easy to shift, and just let them go due to time constraints.After Duke, and Leila had their time toge
