***Chastity*** My eyes popped open just as the sun started to peek through the curtains in my room. At first I was confused as to where I was, just like every morning recently. It took me a minute or two to realize I was in the bedroom Beta Jax set up for me. I stretched, and felt a little less pain than I had the day before. “Good morning Chastity.” Leila said as she stretched out in my mind. “Good morning Leila.” I responded. “Did you sleep well?” “I…yes I did.” “I hope so. I spent a lot of time working on healing you more last night. Your ribs are finally completely healed.” “Leila, you didn’t have to do that. You’ll wear yourself out.” “With all of the good food, and rest you’ve been getting, I have more energy to heal you. A few more days, and you’ll be good as new.” “Thank you Leila.” “You’re welcome. Now I’m going to get some rest. Maybe we’ll see mate today, and I want to make sure I’m all rested up for that.” “You silly wolf. I doubt we’ll see him today. The trial i

***Chastity*** When we reached the pack hospital, Beta Jax led me to a room, and opened the door for me. He didn’t follow me in. Just closed the door behind me. I turned to see Beta Dimitri laying on his stomach on the hospital bed. He looked to be sleeping. I didn’t want to disturb him, so I turned to leave. I froze when I heard him speak. “Chastity? Chastity what are you doing here?” Beta Dimitri whispered. I turned back to face him. I studied his face for several minutes. Why did I come here? This male ignored me my whole life. Why was I even acknowledging him? I didn’t understand either, but something made me come here. “I…I don’t know.” I said quietly. “Did you want to come?” he questioned. “I…I think so, but I….I thought I would check on you. Now I’m not so sure. You never checked on me.” “I know. I failed you. I failed you horribly.” “You…you failed Braxton too.” “Braxton?” “He may not be yours, but you claimed him anyway. You were a father to him, and she hurt him. Ma

***Chastity*** Over the next few days I have fallen into a bit of a routine. Each morning I got up, and made a large breakfast. Alpha Rowen, and Colby usually joined Molly, Beta Jax, and myself for breakfast. Of course they didn’t allow me to do the clean up. I spent the next several hours reading, or enjoying the quiet. Leila had done well to heal the rest of my wounds. I would have a quiet lunch by myself. In the afternoon I spent time at the pack hospital, sitting with those that are there, or talking to the nurses and doctors., as well as visiting Braxton a few times. Dinner was spent with at least Molly then I was off to bed. It’s during the hours alone in my bed that I remember. I remember my past. I remember the last 18 years of my life. I have started having nightmares. In those nightmares Aurora came to drag me out of bed, and into the dungeon. There I am beaten, and whipped by everyone in my life. I am screamed at. I am told how worthless I am. That I am a stain on everyone

***Chastity*** I stood back from Alpha Joseph as he approached Fiona’s cell. I noticed she looked haggard, and dirty, as she was curled up on her cot, with her back facing me.. It was obvious no body brought her clean clothes either. While my heart went out to her, I couldn’t bring myself to be as concerned about her as I had been Braxton. Their behavior toward me over the years had been completely different, and I couldn’t see her the same way I had Braxton. “Hello Fiona.” Alpha Joseph said. “Hello Alpha Joseph.” Fiona responded as she rolled over to face us, and got up off her cot. “How are you doing down here?” He asked. “Well I’m stuck in a cube, in dirty clothes. It’s cold, smells funny, and I only get two hours a day to exercise, outside of here. I can’t say I’m doing well.” Fiona stated as she bowed to Alpha Joseph. “Yes well, what did you expect to happen?” “Exactly what has, sir.” “Are you really understanding what brought this about, or are you saying that to placate

***Chastity*** I looked around the room shocked to see so many people. I had expected to see Alpha Joseph in the meeting, and maybe Beta Dimitri, along with Gamma Peter. It seemed I underestimated this by a lot. Along with those 3, Alpha Rowen, Beta Jax, Molly, Gamma Ross, Naomi, and even Gina were in this meeting. I couldn’t help the slight tremble I was experiencing at the sight of Gina, and Naomi. I hoped they wouldn’t say or do anything to hurt me during this. There was also an older couple standing in the corner, looking very upset. I hadn’t moved from my place by the door as I had looked around the room. I was wide eyed, and could not stop the trembles I was experiencing. I was more afraid than I thought I should be at this point. After a few minutes of me just standing there, Alpha Rowen moved to me, looking concerned. When he finally reached me, he put his hand on my back, led me towards the seats at the head of the table. “It’s ok Chastity. No body can or will hurt you here
