***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

***Rowen*** All day Thursday I was worried about Chastity. It had taken all I had not to drive to Dark Moon Wednesday night, but I wasn’t able to get a visitors pass to be at the school so late in the day, and unfortunately I couldn’t go Thursday either. I had tried texting and calling her most of day. She didn’t finally answer until that evening. She was with Lexi, and Norm when I did get her. At their coaxing she had told me about her session with Dee-Dee. To hear the things she said shattered my heart. It was only made worse by the fact that I couldn’t be there to hold her as she was falling apart. Her telling me she had to be talked out of rejecting me gutted me, but a part of me wasn’t surprised by her thoughts. I was thankful that she was talked out of it. I would have to figure out ways to show her we were right for each other. Unfortunately I wasn’t going to be able to do that this weekend. I had to go to another pack for the weekend with my dad, Dimitri, and Jax for the ren

***Chastity*** So far my weekend had turned out a lot better than I expected. Originally I thought I would spend it alone. Norm, and Marcus were going to see Norm’s family Saturday morning then to meet Lexi at that pack house for her brother Darren’s birthday party. Lexi was going over earlier the help her mom set up for the party. The only plans I had was my meeting with Luna Clair, which I had expected to be canceled due the to party. I was really surprised when Lexi invited me to go help set up, then attend the party, as a guest not a server or anything like that. Of course that invitation, extended to me Friday morning, instigated Norm’s need to shop as we all had to have the perfect outfits. Friday following Anatomy class we spent in the department store searching for just the right thing. We butted heads a few times when he tried to get me into a short skirt, halter top, and 4 inch heels. That was NOT happening. We finally settled on a dark blue, thick strap lace embellished to

***Chastity*** When we walked into the dining room I looked around. There was a big sign hanging on the wall that said Welcome Home, and there balloons tied to little weights in several corners. The table was set beautifully with a purple table cloth, and some of our best china. It all looked beautiful. Everyone was standing behind chairs, waiting on me. What I noticed next was that Alpha Joseph was not standing behind his usual seat. He was standing behind the one next to Dimitri, at the foot of the table. Rowen was standing next to the one next to the seat at the head of the table. I crinkled my brow in confusion. “The guest of honor takes the seat of honor tonight.” Alpha Joseph said with a smile. “Oh. But….” I started. “We are here to celebrate you being home with us, and we should all be able to see you.” “Oh…um…OK.” I slowly moved to the head of the table, Lexi right behind me. I was surprised to see the seat to my left was also empty, but Rowen quickly told me it was for

***Rowen*** “Now listen you two. I am asking Chastity out on a date for tonight. I want this to be just for the two of us, so do NOT try to muscle in.” I growled at Jax, and Ross. Chastity has been home for two days now, and the only time alone we’ve had is when we went to bed, and when we got up in the morning. Both mornings I’ve had to run her out of bed because having her pressed against me caused a hard on from hell. Duke wasn’t helping because he kept trying to push me into just taking my mate as a wolf should. He didn’t understand that she was not ready, or he just refused to believe me. He’s absolutely convinced that she would be just fine with it. I knew better, and had put my foot down with him. He hated it, but he was just going to have to deal with it. “Oh come on man. The last time we all went out on a date together it was a great time.” Jax complained. “She didn’t seem to mind either.” Ross added. “Do you two realize that the only time Chastity, and I have ever been c
