***Chastity*** ***Beep Beep Beep*** I sighed when I heard my alarm go off. I had set it for 5:00 am so I could get to the kitchen to make the croissants. I went to stretch, but found myself restricted by something wrapped around my waist, and pressed against my back. That’s when I remembered that I fell asleep in Rowen’s arms the night before. I sighed, and snuggled back closer to him. A few more minutes wouldn’t hurt anything. I instantly froze when I felt something poking me in the back, and Rowen groaned. “Sweet girl, I need you to stop wiggling.” Rowen grumbled. “I…uh. Sorry.” I whispered. “It’s ok. Go ahead, and get up. I’m going to lay here for a few more minutes.” Rowen said as he released me, and rolled onto his back. I quickly scrambled out of bed, grabbed clothes, and sprinted to the bathroom. I couldn’t believe that happened. What I couldn’t believe more was that what I felt made curious. With a shake of my head I hopped in the shower. Once I was clean, I dressed, I he
***Rowen*** “Now listen you two. I am asking Chastity out on a date for tonight. I want this to be just for the two of us, so do NOT try to muscle in.” I growled at Jax, and Ross. Chastity has been home for two days now, and the only time alone we’ve had is when we went to bed, and when we got up in the morning. Both mornings I’ve had to run her out of bed because having her pressed against me caused a hard on from hell. Duke wasn’t helping because he kept trying to push me into just taking my mate as a wolf should. He didn’t understand that she was not ready, or he just refused to believe me. He’s absolutely convinced that she would be just fine with it. I knew better, and had put my foot down with him. He hated it, but he was just going to have to deal with it. “Oh come on man. The last time we all went out on a date together it was a great time.” Jax complained. “She didn’t seem to mind either.” Ross added. “Do you two realize that the only time Chastity, and I have ever been c
***Rowen*** I found myself chuckling to myself as I reached Jax’s door. I remembered what happened the evening of our triple date. Of Jax giving me shit for trying to be a gentleman, and how much grief Molly gave him for not being one. He tried sometimes, but still seemed to forget. Chuckling to myself again, I raised my hand, and knocked on the door. Lexi answered the door, wearing a gray sweat shirt, and black leggings. She looked relaxed, and ready to stay in for the night. I silently breathed a sigh of relief at the thought that she wouldn’t be joining Chastity, and I. “Don’t worry. It will be just you two. Molly and I are going to hang out here to watch movies. Jax is with his dad for the evening.” Lexi explained. “Thank you Lexi.” I responded. “You’re welcome. She’s almost ready. Treat her well tonight. She’s a little nervous.” “I definitely will.” “I know.” Lexi smiled than led me into the apartment. I looked around, but didn’t see Molly or Chastity any where. I turned w
***Rowen*** When we walked into the glass blowing shop, Chastity instantly pulled away from me, and went to look at the items on the shelves. I was disappointed to not have her in my arms any more, but her look of wonder as she inspected the items quickly erased that disappointment. I watched her as she gently ran her fingers along the pieces, flowing the lines of color, and detail on each piece. They were beautiful. Chastity was looking closely at a pretty vase that had purple, and blue intertwined through out the glass. I could tell she really liked it, and I was about to get it for her when the glass blower came out into the glass blowing area, and stoked the fire. He jumped slightly when he saw us standing there. “Oh. Good evening. Welcome to my shop. I’m Lance.” The glass blower said as he bowed to us. “H…Hello.” Chastity said nervously. “Miss. Chastity. What a pleasure to see you again.” Lance said smiling at her. “Hi Mr. Lance. How are Tim, and Sarah doing? How is Rose?” C
***Chastity*** I woke early the next morning. I had a wonderful time with Rowen the night before. Getting to know him better was really nice, and he listened well to everything I said. I looked forward to future time with him. I couldn’t wait to set up my new statue in my room. I still couldn’t believe he bought it for me. It was really beautiful, and I really enjoyed watching it being made. After breakfast, I started helping get the back yard, sunroom, and deck ready for the barbeque that afternoon. I was really looking forward to it. I was attaching streamers to one of the food tables when some one bumped into me. I stood quickly to move when I saw Naomi standing there. “Move out of my way you stupid Omega.” She snapped. “I…I’m sorry.” I stuttered. “You’re not yet, but you will be.” I instantly cowered away from her as she drew back her hand to strike me when I heard someone roar. “NAOMI! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?” Gamma Peter roared as he walked toward her, and
***Chastity*** I had forgotten about the dancing. I hadn’t danced since Molly, and Jax’s mating ceremony. I still didn’t know how to, but I looked forward to watching. When the guys reached us, Rowen sat close to me, and pulled me back against his chest. I smiled, and made myself comfortable. I quietly watched as people began to pack up their stands, while others moved their blankets, and chairs to the edge of the yard. A large group of males began carrying in large squares, and fitting them together, as a band set up on the deck. I guess they were setting up a dance floor. I looked over to see the jeweler from earlier packing up his items, and remembered the necklace I got for Rowen. I reach into my new little bag, searching around for it. When I finally found it, I got really nervous. I was worried he wouldn’t like it, or would think it was stupid. I held it tightly in my hand as I quietly talked myself into giving it to him. “Sweet girl, are you ok? You tensed up there?” Rowen wh
***Rowen*** It’s been a great week having Chastity at home, and spending so much time with her. I have loved every minute of it, and I’m sad that she has to leave tomorrow to go back to school. I’m not ready for it, but I doubt I ever will be. Not having my mate by my side day, and night is tough. Duke hates it too, but just like me, he just has to deal with it, but we can deal with that tomorrow. Tonight is another date night. This time Jax, Ross, Molly, and Melissa are coming along. We asked Lexi, and Colby if they wanted to join us, but both said no. Lexi said she wanted to get her stuff packed up. Colby had an evening planned with his friends. I know Chastity was disappointed, but she understood. She didn’t try to push them to join us either. Needless to say I was standing in my apartment with Ross, and Jax, again, preparing for our dates. I laughed when I realized we were all dressed the same, expect our shirts were different colors. Ross was wearing red, Jax was in blue, and I
***Chastity*** I woke up early the next morning. I planned to make my croissants one last time before I went back to school. Rowen was still sleeping soundly when I slipped out of his arms, grabbed clean clothes, and went into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror as I brushed my teeth, and thought about what happened last night. I found myself blushing when I remembered feeling him against my hip. Feeling that had made me uncomfortable, but curious at the same time. I’m glad he stopped kissing me when he did before I did something I might regret, like touch it. With a shake of my head, I got in the shower. I couldn’t shake the memories from last night. One of the things that I was confused about was my reactions to everything he did last night. I am used to the sparks from his touch, and the warm feelings, but last night was different. I got the warm feelings again, but I also felt pressure build in my core, and I started to feel my panties getting wet. A part of me wanted him to tou
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
