Chapter 41

***Chastity***

When I woke up the next morning I realized Rowen was no longer beside me. I felt disappointed that he didn’t stay the night, but what else could I expect He is an Alpha, he is too important to spend the whole night holding a lowly Omega like me I decided not to let my disappointment ruin the day Today was my day. It was the day I took the first step toward realizing my dream.

I slid to a sitting position on the bed, and breathed deep. I was brimming with excitement. I had hoped. and dreamed of this day for years. This was one of the things I had always wanted, and finally I was doing it. I was nervous, and scared to death, but the excitement overrode all of that. I was pulled from my thoughts when Rowen opened my door, and came into the room holding a thin, wrapped box

“Good morning beautiful.” He said as he smiled at me.

“Good morning. How long have you been awake?” I asked.

“I’ve been awake for about an hour I watched you sleep for awhile then got up to finish up something.”

“You you stayed in here all night?”

“I held you, and slept beside you all night, yes.”

“Oh. I didn’t think you would stay?”

“Chastity, the only thing that would drag me away from holding you all night is a dier emergency. I loved falling asleep with you in my arms. If you weren’t leaving today, I would insist on it, always.”

“OH II don’t know what to say.”

My heart was bursting with joy, and happiness. Leila was bouncing happily in my head. I gave him a small smile, and nodded.

“Chastity, one day you will realize that I am serious about wanting you, and you will realize my feelings for you. Until you do I will continue to prove myself to you. Even after you do, I will always prove to you that you are everything to me.” Rowen said with a smile, and I nodded.

I was speechless. I didn’t know what to say. What could I say? The first real memory I had of him, he was rejecting me. It was going to take time for me to believe, and accept his words as truth. As I was thinking this, he sat down on the edge of my bed, near my hip, and put the wrapped box on his lap.

“I have a going away present for you. I hope you like it.” Rowen said as he fiddled with the purple bow wrapped around the box.

“I am sure whatever it is I will love it. You didn’t have to do that though.” I responded, blushing and smiling.

“It’s not about having to. It’s about wanting to.”

“Oh.”

Finally he handed me the box. I carefully opened it. I set the ribbon on the nightstand next to Duke, and Jax then peeled the paper off the box. When I opened it I found two things inside, a framed picture, and a smaller blue velvet box sitting on top of the frame. I picked up the smaller box first and opened it. I gasped at what was inside. It was a white gold charm that was the outline of a howling wolf inside of the outline of a heart. It was hung on a thin, white gold chain. It was beautiful. I looked at Rowen, questioningly.

“I saw it the other night, and it screamed that it needed to be around your neck. I hope you like it, and will wear it.” Rowen whispered, smiling at me.

“I….I love it, but….” I started, but Rowen cut me off by placing a finger to my lips.

“Don’t say you don’t deserve it or it’s too good for you. Definitely don’t say anything that starts, ends, or has anything about being an Omega in it. No matter your rank, you are my mate. You are an amazing. wonderful, caring, kind, compassionate, loving woman, and you deserve the world on a silver platter. You deserve this, and so much more.” Rowen said quietly, but firmly.

“………thank you.” I choked as tears filled my eyes. I didn’t know if I would ever get used to people saying things like that to me.

“Would you like me to put it on for you?” Rowen asked, and I nodded.

He gently took the box from me, carefully removed the necklace from the box. I lifted my hair as he leaned forward, and put the chain around my neck. Once it was clasped he trailed his fingers gently along my neck, causing me to shiver I blushed, and smiled shyly at him.

Once he sat back, I pulled the frame from the box, and looked at it. The frame was dark wood with gold inlay that ran along it, with two hearts intertwined in the upper right corner The picture made me gasp as I hadn’t realized anyone had caught the moment on camera. It was the two of us on the dance floor the night before, staring into each others eyes. We looked like we were completely lost in the moment, in each other Like no one else existed in the world, but us. It was beautiful.

“I paid the photographer extra to print, and finalize that picture, and one other, then bring them to me last night.” Rowen said quietly

“You did?” I asked, looking up at him.

“Yes. I wanted to have this to give you this morning. I had originally picked one of the ones from our date, but when the photographer showed me this last night, I knew it had to be this one.”

“Oh. I love it. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome Well I hate to end this, and I hate the idea of letting you go, but it’s already after nine. We need to get ready to go. We leave in a few hours.”

“It’s after NINE! I never sleep this late!”

“You had a very busy day yesterday, and a very late night. Why don’t you go shower? I’m going to have breakfast brought up for us.”

I just nodded, set the frame and box on the nightstand, and hopped out of bed. I practically ran to the bathroom with Rowen chuckling behind me. I took a quick, but refreshing shower then got dressed, and brushed my teeth. I made sure to dry my shower things thoroughly before shoving them into the Ziploc bag I was using for them. Once I was dressed in the leggings, and loose t-shirt I picked for the day, since we would be spending 4 hours in the car, I stuffed everything in my duffle bag. I checked the bathroom thoroughly before going back into the bedroom.

I picked up Duke and Jax from the nightstand, and gently put them in my bag as well. I tied the purple ribbon around Duke’s neck before putting him in the bag. Next I picked up the framed photo, and looked at it again. It really was a beautiful picture. I loved it. Gently I slid that into my bag, and zipped the whole thing. Without thought I stripped the bed, and took the sheets to the basket in the corner of the bedroom, with the towels I had used. I looked over the room one last time. Once I was satisfied I had everything I walked out of the room, and headed to the kitchen.

I found Rowen standing at the island, eating a breakfast sandwich. Without a word he slid a plate with a sandwich, and fruit, as well as orange juice toward me. We ate in comfortable silence. Once finished he took the dishes, and put them in the dishwasher before I could do it myself. After that he grabbed my duffle bag, and led me out of his apartment with a hand on the small of my back. He didn’t lead me too

“Mol, where did you go? I wasn’t done with you yet.” Jax called from somewhere in his apartment.
