***Chastity*** When I woke up the next morning I can admit that I was shocked by my own behavior with Rowen the previous night. I never thought I had the courage to do something like that. It was an interesting experience though. In all the time we had messed around with each other it always alternated. Well him touching me more than me touching him, but still, the only time we ever came together was last weekend. I’m not sure if I would reject the idea of doing it again. I pushed those thoughts to the side, and got up to get ready for class. With classes winding down for the semester, and finals coming there was still a lot to accomplish, and learn. I had thought I would feel overwhelmed, but I really wasn’t. The more I learned the more accomplished I felt. I was really looking forward to getting into the maternity ward for the hands on portion of my education though. Once I was dressed, and ready to go I headed down to grab a quick breakfast before class. I found Lexi, Jessie, and
***Chastity*** The next day was more lectures, and final review in class. At 2:00 I headed over to the admin building. Rowen was due in soon for our meeting with Dean Leonard. I wasn’t sure what he was going to do while I was in class, but I had no doubt he would find a way to keep busy. He always did. I was sitting out front of the building when I saw Rowen pull in. I smiled then walked toward his car. As soon as he was out of the car he rushed me, and picked me up. I wrapped my arms around him, and giggled. He kissed me before I could even say hello. When he pulled back I smiled even more at him. I really had missed him. “Hi sweet girl.” Rowen said as he set me back down on my feet. “Hi Rowen. How are you?” I asked. “I’m so much better now. How are you?” Rowen answered. “I’m great.” I answered, “Ready?” “I am.” “We better get going.” Rowen wrapped his arm my waist, and we walked into the building. I quietly led Rowen to Dean Leonard’s office. After signing in with his secret
***Rowen*** I don’t know what got into me last night, but I just couldn’t get enough of Chastity. She hadn’t complained once. I didn’t want to stop when I did, but I could tell she needed sleep more than she needed me to attack her again. I had considered waking her up with my fingers or my tongue between her legs, but decided to let her sleep instead. Normally I would have gotten out of bed, showered then started some work while she slept longer, but I didn’t want to let go of her. Instead I snuggled her closer to my chest, and breathed in her scent. I felt smug when I caught mine mixed with hers. I smiled when she sighed, and tried to wiggle even closer to me. I jumped when the alarm on her phone went off. I had no idea she had set one. I chuckled quietly when she grumbled something, and smacked at her nightstand. I leaned up to find her phone, when I found it, I grabbed it to turn off the alarm. When I saw what time it was, I knew I had no choice, but to wake her up. I knew she w
***Chastity*** I spent all day Saturday studying with Lexi, Norm, and Jessie. We made a lot of progress. I was also able to finish one of the two final projects I had due. I planned to finished the other on Sunday. I was pretty confident that I would get it done. Lexi, Norm, Jessie, and I planned to spend Sunday with our mates since none of us would really have time for 2 weeks after. Rowen, and I spent most of Sunday in my room. Some of it was spent doing our own work. Some of it was him teaching me about his stamina. I didn’t know where he got the energy. By the time 8:30 rolled around Sunday night I could barely keep my eyes open. I did fall asleep wishing he would decide to stay for at least the week. I loved having him with me. I didn’t voice that though. If he was going to stay, it had to be his choice, not mine. We both grumbled when my alarm went off early the next morning. I drug myself out of bed to shower, and dress. I was a little surprised Rowen didn’t join me, but grat
***Chastity***On Friday evening, during dinner Lexi, Norm, Jessie, and I decided that our weekend mornings would be dedicated to spending time with our mates, doing whatever they wanted to do. We would pick up our study sessions after lunch. They were being more than patient with us as we studied, and ignored them. It just wasn’t fair to them. They deserved a lot more than what they were getting from us. Rowen, Colby, Marcus, and Ace said they understood, held none of it against us, but we all felt guilty about it any way.Saturday morning, Rowen let me sleep in for a bit than woke up with his head between my legs. I hadn’t expected that, but enjoyed it very much. I was equally shocked that, after getting me off twice, he got out of bed, told me to shower, get dressed, and have breakfast with him. I had thought he would want to spend the morning in bed. He wouldn’t tell me what we were doing after breakfast though. I was completely confused when we pulled into a large, em
***Rowen***I was thankful that I had something to do this afternoon. It was a struggle having so little to do, and not try to demand more of Chastity’s attention. I couldn’t though because she needed to focus on school. I also wished she would be able to come home for the week between her semesters. I knew she wouldn’t be able though. She had too much to do before her last semester started.“Thanks for your help with this Rowen.” Marcus said as he pulled up another floor board in the living room.“It’s no problem. Really.” I responded.“How are you holding up with Chastity being so busy studying?” Marcus asked.“As well as I can. It’s tough at times.”“Yes. It is. I thought I was going to lose my mind while Norm was so busy studying, and ignoring me.”“What did you do to deal with it?”“A lot of working out, and doing stuff here. Just kept myself as busy as possible. When he wasn’t studying, or sleeping I soaked up every moment I could.”“I’m trying to do that.
***Chastity***Watching Rowen leave Monday morning hadn’t been easy. I had loved having him with me the whole week. I still felt bad that I had been so busy while he was here though. Unfortunately there was little I could do to make it up to him right now. I was determined to make some plan for a vacation or something for just the two of us after I graduated so we had the one on one time we both deserved for getting through the separation. I planned to talk to him about that as soon as possible.The rest of the week flew buy in a flurry of final exams, presentations, and studying. I tried not to be too stressed, but failed miserably. I was determined to maintain my high grades, and really feared I had failed every exam, and presentation. Lexi, Norm, and Jessie weren’t much better. We leaned on each other a lot to try to make ourselves feel better about our performance.I had my last exam on Friday, and by Thursday night I was ready to be done. I also wanted to get away
***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
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.
