***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
***Chastity*** “This is our mental health ward. When trauma survivors are brought in for medical treatment, they are brought to this floor so we can also start working with them immediately to move forward from the trauma they suffer. We also keep the ward open to those that are struggling badly, and need a secure place to come until they can return to their life. We don’t keep anyone here by force. Once their medical treatment is complete they are free to leave, or remain until they feel they are ready to go home or move on with their life. We also keep the playground up here so those here or who need to come here for a visit, can spend time with the support animals if they don’t want to take one home. That happens more than we like, but there are times when a trauma survivor’s living situation is not conducive to having a pet.” Dee-Dee explained as I followed her to a large room surrounded by glass. The room, or rooms were huge, and seemed to take up an entire section of the floor.
***Chastity*** When I reached the self defense classroom Lexi, and Norm were already there, but sitting away from each other. I didn’t like the idea of not being able to hang out with both of my new friends at the same time. I had to find away to bring them together so I didn’t feel divided between them. I had a feeling Norm would be the easier one to bring to Lexi. I also thought I might know why there were issues between the two. Their entire pack knew about what happened between her, and her ex-boyfriend. She probably felt humiliated in front of her own pack, and she probably thought they judged her for it. I doubt she ever actually talked to any one in her pack about what had happened. I doubted Norm judged her for what happened. At the same time, this may not work, but I had to try. I walked toward Norm, as he waved and smiled at me. I saw Lexi from the corner of my eye. She looked to me sad, and dejectedly. Hopefully I could change that. We had about 10 minutes to change thing
***Chastity*** The rest of the week flew by. Norm, Lexi, and I started sitting together the second day of our Anatomy glass, we stuck close during self defense class even though most of what we were doing was exercising. We had all our meals together. At the end of the day after dinner we would go back to my room to hang out. We hung out in my room because according to them mine was the cleanest. They also said they were helping Lilac get used to other people, and wolves. They also joined me for video chats with my friends, and family back home. They met Braxton, and Gina first when they video chatted me to brag about finishing school for the year. Lexi swore Gina, and Braxton are mates. I wasn’t sure, but the two seemed to be getting closer. They even had a group hang out with all of their friends planned for the end of our video chat. I also had a video chat with Jax, Molly, Colby, and Dimitri. Jax recognized Lexi immediately. They chatted for a minute or two about politics before
***Rowen*** I was up, and out of bed way too early for any normal person today. Today I wasn’t a normal person though. Today I was a man excited about seeing his mate. Earlier in the week Colby, and I came up with the idea of me going to Dark Moon with him on Sunday to surprise my sweet girl. I miss her, and really want to see her. It’s been hard to keep my coming with Colby a secret, but we have both managed it. I couldn’t wait to see the look on her face when she saw me. I hoped she would be happy. I was so excited I practically bounced out of my bed at 4:00 in the morning. Colby had to be at Denu by 9:00 for his interview so we were getting on the road at 4:30. That should put us there by 8:30. That would give him time to drop me off at Cloverland, and he could get to his interview on time. I was sitting in the living room, knee bouncing, a bag of t-shirts next to me for my sweet girl, when he finally made it downstairs. He was yawning, and rubbing his eyes. He looked like he was
****Rowen**** I was standing at the Admin desk waiting for Danielle to let Chastity know she had a visitor when I heard the sweetest sound in the world come from behind me. It was the sound of my sweet girl’s laugh. I turned around, and instantly spotted her. She had her red hair pulled into a pony tail. She was wearing a yellow sports tank, and a pair of black work out leggings. She wasn’t alone either. She was with what appeared to be Lexi, Norm, and some guy I had never seen before. I almost got upset when I noticed the guy was holding Norm’s hand. I quickly waved off Danielle calling Chastity, and pointed to my sweet girl. Danielle smiled, and nodded then I made my way toward the group. I looked her over as I moved. She looked fantastic. I smiled as she giggled at something someone said. When I finally reached them, I cleared my throat to get her attention. Norm was the first one to see me though, grabbed her shoulders, and turned her to face me. At first she looked confused, the
I want to apologize to all my readers for the delay in updates. it's been a busy two months for me. on top of that I hit a bit of writer's block so I took a little break, got some inspiration, and am trying to move forward with the story.I am sorry for letting you all down for so long. I have more chapters written, and will be updating as often as I can. Thank you for your patience with me on this journey. I will do my best not to let all of you down again. I hope you enjoy the newest chapters I just posted.
***Chastity*** I had truly enjoyed my time spent with Rowen, and Colby. It had been nice to have Rowen meet my friends, and help us even though he didn’t have to. I had been shocked that even as an Alpha he had rolled up his sleeves to help lower rank wolves move. He had been attentive, kind, and good with everyone the whole visit. It had been hard to watch him leave. One thing that did surprise me was that I had not jumped when he touched me, nor did I feel fear at his touch. Holding his hand had felt so natural. Every touch from him had. I didn’t know what to make of it. The first couple of days after his visit I carried those good feelings with me. Even during my session with Dee-Dee on Tuesday all I talked about was his visit. She didn’t say much, just listened. She smiled when I did, and seemed genuinely pleased to hear all I had to say about the visit. I did keep the kiss we shared a secret. That was private. Now it was Wednesday, and I was in the middle of self defense class
