***Chastity*** When we pulled up in front of the pack house, the usual crowd was waiting for us. I loved when they were standing there to greet us. It made me feel loved, and welcome. I always had a big grin on my face to see all of them excited for my return. Well our return, but it was an amazing feeling either way. I did giggle a bit when I saw Rowen sitting on the step in front of Molly, and Melissa with his arms spread in front of their legs as if to stop them from moving forward. Lexi saw it as well, and took Lilac from me before I opened the car door. As soon as I did Rowen was up, and moving toward me, quickly. When he reached me, he put his arms around my waist, picked me up, and kissed the hell out of me. I don’t know when it happened, but eventually I wrapped my legs around his waist, and clung to him like a monkey. It took me a minute to register the growls, and giggles going on around us. When I did I quickly let Rowen go, buried my head in his chest, and blushed. “Don’
***Chastity*** Sunday we had another group date. Rowen planned a picnic for us then we walked around town looking at all of the Christmas decorations. Molly, Melissa, Lexi, and I even talked the guys into doing a cookie decorating class that was being held. That was fun. The guys ended up with more icing on themselves than the actually cookies. I thought the shop owner was going to kick us out when the guys almost started throwing icing at each other. Thankfully we averted that disaster, but we did stay to help clean up the mess we made. Or more we made the guys clean up the mess they made. I swear the shop owner breathed a sigh of relief when we finally left. I got up early this morning to make croissants for everyone then start sorting through pictures. Lexi, and I took over Jax, and Molly’s living room after every one left. Lexi had gifts separated, sorted, and preparing to be wrapped. I had my laptop up, the USB drives from Gina and Braxton, as well as a third empty one. I was go
***Chastity**** Tuesday went by pretty quickly. Lexi, and I spent the whole day with midwife Wanda. She had us watch a recent delivery video before meeting with her first patient. The female was having twins, and the father was freaking out about it. He couldn’t understand how his mate was going to push out two babies at the same time. Lexi, and I spent the whole time listening as midwife Wanda explained to the father exactly how it worked. That appointment was followed by a post partum appointment. We both learned quite a bit, and were excited to spend more time with midwife Wanda. Thursday was much the same. Wednesday Lexi, and I spent all day dealing with Christmas presents. I finished all 3 collages, and thankfully had them wrapped before anyone made it back to the apartment. I was really happy with how they turned out. I couldn’t wait for Jax, Rowen, and dad to see them. I was excited about all of the gifts I bought, but those three the most. Lexi seemed pretty excited too. I th
***Chastity**** Friday morning I was up early, like usual. Since everyone else was still asleep I made my way to the kitchen to help Lucy make breakfast. She wasn’t there yet when I walked in so I switched the coffee on, and checked the fridge to see what she had prepared to make. Since I didn’t see anything I decided to make french toast. I was just starting in when Lucy came in the door. “Girl, what are you doing in here so early?” Lucy asked as she pulled out sausages from the fridge. “I guess from years of getting up so early I got used to it.” I answered as I flipped the french toast. “You should be snuggled up with that mate of yours. Not down here cooking.” “Once I’m awake, I can’t fall back to sleep. You’re up too, not home with your mate.” “My mate goes to work at 5:00 in the morning.” “Do you get up with him?” “He wakes me before he leaves.” “Why?” “He says he has to have his bit of sugar to start his day.” “LUCY!” “What? You asked. He wants to start his day with
***Chastity*** **Beep Beep Beep*** I lifted my head to look at the clock. I set it to wake me up at 5:00 this morning so I could get breakfast going. I smiled when Rowen groaned, and tightened his arm around me for a moment then buried his face into the back of my head. He did that every morning, and it always reminded me of a pup. With a quiet sigh I slipped out of his hold, and went to shower. “Morning Chastity. Merry Christmas.” Leila said to me groggily. “Good morning Leila. Merry Christmas.” I chirped back. “You did good last night.” Leila said with a giggle. “What?” “With mate. You wanted to try something so you swallowed your nerves, and did it. I’m proud if you.” “Oh. I…..” “Don’t get embarrassed. You didn’t do anything wrong.” “Yeah, but…..” “I promise Chastity.” “It’s just hard Leila.” “I know, but I hope you’re a little more comfortable now.” “A little.” “Good. I’m going back to sleep.” I giggled as Leila curled up, and fell back to sleep. Once I was done my
***Rowen***I had to admit that this had been the best Christmas I had had since mom died. I knew if she was here she would have loved every minute of today. She probably would have gotten down on the floor with us to play our silly little game as well. Chastity didn’t realize just how much like my mom she was. My mom would have put the same amount of thought into her gifts as Chastity did.As we sat around the table eating dinner, I thought back to the first meal I remember sitting at the table, and eating with Chastity. It seemed so long ago, but in reality it had only been 6 months. Back then she looked like she had a huge weight on her shoulders, and she was terrified of everything. I was worried that she would never come out of her shell. I was prepared to accept her as she was, if she didn’t. Seeing her now I was in total aw of her.In such a short time my sweet girl had bloomed, and come into her own. I knew she still struggled with her self confidence because even
***Chastity*** The week after Christmas flew by. Rowen, Jax, Ross, Joe, dad, and Pete were back to work. Molly was off due to winter break at school. Melissa was off from her online courses as well. She did spend Tuesday, and Wednesday at her mom’s shop with her. Lexi, and I spent Tuesday, and Thursday working with midwife Wanda. Thursday we got to be part of a delivery. That had been so exciting. The rest of the days were spent with Molly, Melissa, Lexi, and Gina. It was nice having girl time, and we all got along really well. Listening to Molly talk about her students was adorable as I could really hear in her voice how much she enjoyed them, and teaching. I noticed that Melissa talked more about working in her mom’s shop than her classes, and said noting about her coming classes. She seemed like she was hiding something. When I finally got the chance to ask Molly about it one evening, she informed me that Melissa ended up hating it once she really got into it. She hadn’t planned t
***Chastity*** Leaving to go back to Cloverland hadn’t been easy as I hadn’t wanted such an amazing visit to end. I knew I had to go back though, and when I was finished I would be home permanently. I only had a year which wasn’t that long in the grand scheme of things. Once I graduated, it would no longer be visits, but a lifetime with the people that meant so much to me. My first week back had been a whirlwind of things. New classes started, we started the wolf systems in Anatomy class, and I ended up not continuing self defense as one of my classes was during that same time slot. I had enjoyed the class, but the time constraints made it too hard to continue. Marcus, and Colby decided to take over teaching Lexi, Norm, and I which worked out great because it gave all of us more time together. My appointments with Dee-Dee also had to be changed due to my schedule. I still saw her twice a week, but now it was in the evenings instead of mid-day. I was her last appointment on those day
