***Rowen*** I can’t believe Chastity leaves in just two days. I’ve spent every chance I could get with her over the last two weeks. After a lot of debate with myself I had asked her out on a date. I was surprised when she agreed. I was not happy when our date turned into a triple date with Jax and Molly, as well as Ross, and Melissa. I had wanted some one on one time with my mate before she left for three years, but that wasn’t going to happen. I had to just suck it up. Jax, Ross, and I decided to let the females get ready at Jax’s place, while we got dressed in mine. Not like it took up long, but here we were. After showering I threw on a dark green, short sleeved polo, and khaki cargo pants. “You know, this was a good idea Rowen. Mel, and I tend to just stick to ourselves.” Ross said as he sat on my couch. “Yeah.” I grumbled. “Mol is excited about the bunch of us going out together, just us. It’s a nice change.” Jax added. “Uh huh.” Was all I could muster. “What’s gotten into y
***Chastity*** I woke up early the next morning to Molly yelling at Jax to get out. She didn’t want him to see her get ready for the ceremony. Of course Jax whined as she continued to yell at him. He didn’t want to leave, and didn’t see the point as he saw her everyday any way. After about five minutes of her yelling, and him whining, Rowen got up with a huff, and stormed out of the room. I scrambled out of bed to find out what was going on. I walked out to see Rowen dragging Jax out of the door, and slamming it behind them. I turned to Molly, and she just nodded once then disappeared back into her room. I guess it was just going to be a small breakfast this morning. No sooner had I thought that the door opened, and in walked Colby, Dimitri, and Braxton. Molly came barreling out of the bedroom. “Jax, I don’t ask a lot of you, but just this once can’t you….. OH. Sorry. I thought you three were Jax. I kicked him out for the day. I don’t want him to see me before the ceremony.” Molly g
***Chastity*** Rowen wasn’t wrong. It was chilly in the dungeon. I pulled his sweatshirt sleeves over my hands, and wrapped my arms around myself as he lead me to Fiona’s cell. When we reached it, I looked it over. Someone had brought her warmer blankets, and she was dressed in sweats. Her hair was clean, but pulled into a pony tail. It seemed they had started letting her shower, and put on clean clothes. She was sitting on her bed with her head leaned against the wall, arms draped over her bent knees. “Finally here to admit you want me instead of that disgusting Omega, and let me out my love. I will forgive you, once you punish that trash the way she deservers for trying to steal you from me.” Fiona said snidely as she lifted her head, and looked to Rowen. “No, Fiona, I am not here to release you. I’m not here for you at all actually. I am only here as a request to accompany someone else.” Rowen responded with a growl. “Who?” “Me.” I said, as I walked around Rowen, and stood in f
***Chastity*** When I woke up the next morning I realized Rowen was no longer beside me. I felt disappointed that he didn’t stay the night, but what else could I expect. He is an Alpha, he is too important to spend the whole night holding a lowly Omega like me. I decided not to let my disappointment ruin the day. Today was my day. It was the day I took the first step toward realizing my dream. I slid to a sitting position on the bed, and breathed deep. I was brimming with excitement. I had hoped, and dreamed of this day for years. This was one of the things I had always wanted, and finally I was doing it. I was nervous, and scared to death, but the excitement overrode all of that. I was pulled from my thoughts when Rowen opened my door, and came into the room holding a thin, wrapped box. “Good morning beautiful.” He said as he smiled at me. “Good morning. How long have you been awake?” I asked. “I’ve been awake for about an hour. I watched you sleep for awhile then got up to finis
***Chastity*** The drive to Cloverland was a 4 hour trip. I had thought we would stop for lunch during the drive, but Molly had thought ahead and packed sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. Chatter during the drive was pretty much light, upbeat, and fun. Colby cracked a lot of jokes, and had us all laughing constantly. Braxton talked about some of the things he had been doing with friends recently. Molly excitedly talked about how she was going to set her classroom up before elementary school was back in session in a few months. The drive seemed to go quicker than I expected. Before I knew it, we were pulling up to the entrance of Dark Moon pack. Dmitri stopped next to what I guess was a security building. I never knew packs had those. Moonlight pack didn’t. “Dark Moon is the second largest pack in the country. They also have several higher education programs here so they have to take security very seriously. They have a lot of non-pack members coming, and going.” Dimitri explained as he
***Rowen*** Today had been one of the harder ones in my life. Right up there close to losing my mom. Leaving Chastity was a misery I never expected. My heart was heavy with sadness, and Duke was whimpering in my head. It was going to be a long, hard three years. I wasn’t looking forward to it, but I had to let her go to do this. She needed it. After everything she had been through in her short 18 years of life, she deserved this. Thankfully everyone left me alone during the drive back. I sat all the way in the back by myself. I wasn’t fit for conversation at the moment. I was too busy remembering every single moment I have had with Chastity over the last several weeks. I marveled at her strength, and courage. Her smile made me smile. Her drive, and determination were beyond compare. I couldn’t figure out how I had been so lucky for the Moon Goddess to pair me with such an amazing female. I still couldn’t believe that at one time I thought she wasn’t worthy of me. When the truth was I
***Chastity*** I was thankful that I had gotten my school supplies, and books together the night before my first class. I hadn’t slept well. Until I pulled out Rowen’s hoodie, and wrapped it around myself, I had been plagued with nightmares again. For the first time in two weeks. I guess it had been him that kept my nightmares at bay. I was glad I was going to be meeting with a therapist the following afternoon. I needed help moving away from my past. I needed it to stop haunting me. I had mistakenly believed I had gotten over the worst of it. I was disappointed that I was wrong. I also discovered it was going to be an adjustment to being alone again. At one point in the night, after wrapping myself in Rowen’s hoodie, I found myself staring at the pictures on my nightstand sobbing. I had spent so many years alone, but in a few short weeks the group of people in the pictures I was looking at came to mean so much to me. I missed them terribly. I even considered going home, but shook t
***Chastity*** The next morning I woke up more tired then the day before. I didn’t have any nightmares, but I certainly didn’t sleep well. I couldn’t get the thought of Rowen rejecting me again out of my head. I know he says he wants only me, and his actions the last few weeks show that, but it’s only been a few weeks. Maybe I should believe him, but trust is not something I am good at. Yes I have built some trust with Molly, Jax, and Melissa, but they have never hurt me, or rejected me. Jax was always good to me when we were children, and even though I thought he would not be the same way when he returned, he proved to me that he had not changed in his love for me. Molly, and Melissa have been good to me since the day I met them. Do I trust them not to one day start hurting me? Not completely, but I am trying. Everyone else has hurt me in one way or another. Yes I love them, but I certainly don’t trust them not to revert back to their old ways. After laying in my bed for awhile I f
