***Chastity*** The following month flew by. I hadn’t been able to go home at all during that month. Rowen, Jax, and Colby hadn’t been able to come to spend a weekend either. Rowen, and Jax had been too busy with alliance talks with Rogue Leader Dean to be able to take a weekend away. Molly, Melissa, and Gina were able to spend one weekend with us though. That had been a lot of fun. School was going well, and I was doing better than I thought I would. I was really proud of myself for how well I was doing. I was also really enjoying my drawing class. We had finally moved into drawing shapes, and starting to learn techniques for blending shapes into larger pictures. I could also feel myself getting stronger physically from self defense class. I did notice that my movements, and the way I carried myself was changing with more focus on my core than trying to keep myself as unnoticeable as possible. My appointments with Dee-Dee were going well too. I still had hard days, and she was right
***Chastity*** I hadn’t had a chance to see the courtyard before Melissa’s ceremony. When Molly, Lexi, and I stepped outside I looked around. Melissa had decided to go simple with more of a fall theme. The colors were more of orange, dark red, and yellow. She didn’t do streamers or lace, but the decorations were still pretty. She had bunches of fall looking leaves tied together with either red, orange, or yellow ribbon arranged in vases on the center of tables. She even managed to spread fall looking leaves along the aisle. It all looked very pretty. We quickly found our table with Rowen, Jax, Colby, Marcus, and Norm. Rowen brushed his fingers along my arm, before taking hold of my hand, and kissing the back of it before whispering in my ear that I looked beautiful. I smiled shyly up at him, and kissed his cheek. He looked very handsome in his dark purple, short sleeved button down, and black dress pants. When the music began to play I looked to Ross. I knew the moment he first saw
***Chastity*** Monday morning started out as usual, breakfast with Norm, and Lexi before heading off to class. Today we had an exam on the skeletal system of the human body. I had spent a lot of the last two weeks studying, and the night before the three of us quizzed each other. I was feeling pretty confident. Once we were seated the instructor handed out our tests, and we began. The test was harder than I expected, but I felt I did well any way. Lexi, and I headed off to our next class while Norm went in the opposite direction for his. The next two classes had no exams, but we had presentations to give. I was nervous about talking in front of people, but once I got started I became comfortable quickly. I felt I did well, and by the look in the instructor’s eyes told me he was impressed. I was pretty proud of myself. I was just walking into self defense class when my cell phone went off. I looked at it to see it was Rowen calling. I smiled, and stopped in the hall to answer it. “H
***Chastity*** Tuesday and Wednesday flew by. On Tuesday I took both exams that were scheduled, and I felt that I did well on both of them. I would find out by the end of the week how I did on everything though. Wednesday we started a new section in Anatomy. This one was more involved than the skeletal system, but I’m looking forward to it. On Tuesday self defense class was canceled for some unknown reason. On Wednesday we had class again, but Matt was in another bad mood. He was snappy, and moved too fast to even follow his movements, no matter how hard I tried. That caused him to growl, and touch me more than I really wanted him to. He was told to back off a lot by Lexi, but he ignored her. During my session with Dee-Dee I had considering talking to her about my conversation with Molly, and Melissa over the weekend, as well as what I did in the shower Monday night, but couldn’t bring myself to. I was too embarrassed. Instead we talked about my reaction to Matt on Monday, and how m
***Chastity*** After classes, my appointment with Dee-Dee, and self defense class on Thursday I sat down in my room, and decorated my shoes. I never realized how hard it could be to come up with a design I was happy with. I was glad I hadn’t started seriously attaching the stones. Lexi, and Norm giggled a my frustration, until I kicked them out, and called Molly on video chat. That girl knew what she was doing. Within an hour my shoes were done, and I was happy with them. I was covered in adhesive though so I went to take a shower. I was standing in the shower, relaxing when I started to think about my actions from Monday’s shower. Before that went any further, I stuck my head out of the shower to make sure my laptop, that I could see on my bed was closed. Once I was sure, I closed the shower door, and with trembling hands started to play with my nipples again. I still felt a little weird about this, but pushed that aside. When I felt pressure start to building between my legs, I mov
***Rowen*** The time seemed to crawl by for me, and I could hardly sit still. In just a few hours I would get to spend another weekend with my sweet girl. After a month apart we needed it. I know we had spent sometime together the previous weekend, but it was minimal as we were both busy with getting ready for Melissa, and Ross’s ceremony. This weekend would be a bit different. I would get there in time to have dinner with her, sleep with her in my arms tonight. I knew some of her time tomorrow would be spent getting ready for Robert’s swearing in ceremony, but we had all day Sunday for just us. I arranged it that way on purpose as we never really got that. Now if the time would just move faster. I was in my father’s office going over the plans for the community center, as well as the needs list, but I couldn’t stay focused. I kept glancing at the time, but it didn’t seem to move, at all. I looked up when my father sighed, and dropped his pen on his desk. “Son, you’re not paying any
***Chastity*** When I woke up the next morning I was startled at first to feel someone holding me, but I quickly remembered it was Rowen although I don’t remember coming back to my room. The last thing I remember was getting into Marcus’s car. I hadn’t realized I was that tired. I snuggled close to Rowen, and sighed quietly. It felt good being held in his arms, and not having to jump out of bed early. I had no where to be until 10:00. My hair had finally grown out to just below the middle of my back, but Lexi said it was time to get it evened out, and shaped properly. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it. I had never had a proper hair cut before. I was laying there thinking about that when Rowen groaned, and tightened his arm around my waist, pulling me close to him. “Morning sweet girl.” He said with a scratchy voice then kissed my shoulder. “Good morning.” I whispered as I melted into him. “I like this.” “What?” “Waking up with you in my arms.” “Oh. It is nice, but I alw
***Rowen*** After the girls left Colby, Jax, dad, Dimitri, and I relaxed for a bit before getting ready for the evening. I never understood what took females so long to get ready for things. Dad tried to explain it, but it went right over my head. It seemed like too much work for me. Around 3:00 showers were taken, and we dressed. I put on a black suit with a white shirt, and a silver tie. Chastity had told me that her dress was silver, and black so I took it upon myself to try to match her as much as possible. I did take the time to gel my hair off to the side a bit. I had considered getting it cut shorter, and spiking it, but decided against it. Especially since Chastity once told me she liked the length of my hair. As soon as I finished getting ready I grabbed the bracelet I bought Chastity then Colby, Jax, and I went down to the Gamma apartment to get Lexi, Molly, and Chastity. I had to chuckle at the three of us because it was clear we were struggling not to run to get our mate
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
