***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
***Rowen*** I hate these Alpha meetings sometimes. I really do. It’s the morning of the third day, and to say the last two evenings have been difficult would be an understatement. It seems more like a free for all than a meeting of leaders. Yes all of us leaders have been meeting daily, all day, but after the meetings end is when the trouble starts. Some Alphas, and Betas brought their daughters with them to see if they could find their mates. The Alphas have not been pushing their daughters on others, I sadly can’t say the same for the Lunas, and Beta females. The attendants of those that are here for meeting aren’t much better. Add in the females just from the pack we’re staying at, and it seems more like some sort of mating gathering than a meetings, and it’s getting on all of our nerves. My dad, Dimitri, Jax, and I are all sharing a four bedroom suite, and between the four of us, we’ve had to run a few females out of our rooms so far. I was a little shocked to see the ages of the
***Rowen*** Chastity had responded to my earlier text as we were leaving the meeting hall. She had said she would watch today’s proceedings after dinner. She was asking what was going on, and I was texting her quick response as I walked to our suite. I hit send just as I opened the door. A scent I didn’t know, but knew was female hit my nose. How did they keep getting in here when we had guards at the door. My father asked just that before we walked to our suite. “How is it that I request you be placed at our door to keep people out, but we can smell that someone has entered very recently?” My father asked the unknown guard as we had asked to borrow two for guard duty from the hosting pack. “She….um…we were only following orders, sir.” The young male responded. “Who’s orders?” “Miss…..Miss Renee sir.” “I see. You may go. I will handle this from here.” “I…uh….yes sir.” “No need to mind link your Alpha about this. I will be returning Miss. Renee to him untouched.” “I…Yes sir. I’
***Chastity*** The days since I returned to school from my trip home have been hectic, but enjoyable for the most part. Sunday was a quiet, return to life day. I washed all of the clothes I took with me for my visit, hung my new pictures, and set up my new statue and vase Rowen bought for me. He also surprised me by sending me a bouquet of lilacs to put into it. His card read that he wanted me to be able to fully enjoy my new vase. In between laundry, and after putting things away, I got to work reviewing my assignments that would be due the coming week. I also did some reading for my classes. Lilac, and I spent a lot of time in my room that day. I needed it to unwind, and get back into school mode. Lexi was the same way so she spent some time sprawled out on my bedroom floor reading, and just relaxing. I appreciated that Lexi was just as dedicated to her studies as I was. She also seemed to be connecting more, and more working in health care. Monday morning it was back to business
***Chastity*** I woke up the next morning with just enough time to get to class which was unusual for me. Norm, and Lexi tried to ask if I was ok, but I just waved them off. I didn’t want to talk about it. I was thankful that I had my homework done for the class early. After class I considered canceling on Dee-Dee, but knew that she wouldn’t allow that unless it was for class, or sickness. Since I had neither excuse I dropped my book bag off in my room, grabbed my journal, and Lilac then headed to my appointment. Dee-Dee was waiting in her usual blue bean bag chair for me. After I took Lilac off her leash I curled into my usual purple one, and buried my head in my knees. Dee-Dee remained quiet which I was thankful for. I didn’t want to talk. I didn’t feel like talking. She seemed to understand that, and left me be. For a bit at least. "I understand if you don’t feel like talking Chastity, and as I told you your first day here I won’t push you to. What I am going to ask for is to see
***Rowen*** I can’t say that I slept very well after my video chat with Chastity. I had no idea she felt the way she did, and that I had contributed to her feeling that way. I felt really guilty for upsetting her as I had been. I had a feeling everyone would when I told them. I had sent a text to Chastity letting her know that I would talk to everyone about backing off on the Luna talk. She said she appreciated it, but she was worried about disappointing people at the same time. I reassured her that was not going to happen. When I went into the sitting room dad, Dimitri, and Jax were already up, and eating breakfast. We had stopped going down to the dining room for breakfast after the first day because it was just too much commotion that early in the morning for any of us. We kind of liked to start the morning at a bit of a slower pace. I was just about to sit down when there was a knock at the door. Warrior Blake told me that is was the members of Dark Moon wanting to have breakfast
