***Chastity*** My day had gone a lot better than any day had ever gone for me. I got a full night’s sleep without a single nightmare. Alpha Rowen hadn’t teased me this morning while I was trying to get ready for my day. He was kind, and respectful. I ended up spending the rest of my day helping Lucy, Beth, and Tina around the pack house. Being around those three, seeing how they interacted, and how they were treated just reminded me more and more about how poorly I had been treated. In some ways it made me resentful, but mostly it made me hopefully for better treatment moving forward. My day also had moments of Alpha Rowen mind linking me to just check in, see what I was doing, and let me know he was thinking about me. It was weird for me, and half the time I didn’t know how to take it. I blocked him out a few times because I really didn’t know what to say. Yes I was thinking of him a bit too, but I was also very overwhelmed by it all. Tutoring with Braxton, and Gina also went well.
***Chastity*** The next few days flew by. Every morning started the same. Breakfast with Beta Dimitri, Alpha Rowen, Beta Jax, Colby, Molly, and Braxton. After breakfast everyone went off to begin their day. I joined Lucy, Beth, and Tina working around the house. I also started making lunch for the house, in the pack house kitchen. After Braxton finished school I would spend two hours helping him, and Gina with homework. It all rounded out with dinner in Beta Jax’s quarters. Braxton’s father joined us for dinner once as well. I thought he looked very sick. His skin was yellow, and waxy. His hair was limp, and brittle. He looked unusually bloated. The worst was that the whites of his eyes were yellow. I was very concerned, but something told me if I asked questions, he wouldn’t answer. I was sure something was really wrong though. For Braxton’s sake I hoped what ever was going on wouldn’t last long. Alpha Rowen still slept on the cot in my room, and I hadn’t had a single nightmare. It
***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
