Chapter 50

****Rowen****

I was standing at the Admin desk waiting for Danielle to let Chastity know she had a visitor when I heard. the sweetest sound in the world come from behind me. It was the sound of my sweet girl’s laugh. I turned around, and instantly spotted her. She had her red hair pulled into a pony tail. She was wearing a yellow sports tank, and a pair of black work out leggings. She wasn’t alone either. She was with what appeared to be Lexi, Norm, and some guy I had never seen before. I almost got upset when I noticed the guy was holding Norm’s hand.

I quickly waved off Danielle calling Chastity, and pointed to my sweet girl. Danielle smiled, and nodded then I made my way toward the group. I looked her over as I moved. She looked fantastic. I smiled as she giggled at something someone said. When I finally reached them, I cleared my throat to get her attention. Norm was the first one to see me though, grabbed her shoulders, and turned her to face me. At first she looked confused, then a huge smile broke across her face.

“Ro….Rowen! Oh my goddess! What are you doing here?” She asked excitedly.

“I rode up with Colby. I wanted to surprise you. So surprise.” I said with a huge smile.

“Aww. Thank you. I’m glad you’re here. How long do you have?”

“‘ll be here all day sweet girl.”

“Ok. So um…what do you want to do?”

“Whatever you feel like doing. What are you doing now?”

“We were getting ready to go work out. Marcus said…..oh shoot. Let me introduce you to my friends.”

Lexi giggled as Chastity turned to her friends. I smiled. She was so cute when she was flustered. I loved how happy she looks.

“Uh…you’ve already kind of met Norm, and Lexi. That’s Marcus. Norm’s mate, and Lexi’s cousin.” Chastity pointed to each person.

“Norm, it’s nice to finally meet you in person. Lexi, good to see you again. Marcus congratulations.” I said. as I waved to them.

“Thanks.” Marcus said, looking to his mate with loving eyes.

“It’s good to see you again Alpha Rowen.” Lexi said bowing to me.

Norm mumbled something, and kept his head down.

“None of that please. I’m just Rowen, no Alpha, and no heads bowed or any of that. I’m here to spend the day with my mate, and her friends.” I said lightly.

I smiled when Chastity looked at me with a huge smile on her face.

“Oh thank goddess. I did NOT want to spend my day looking at the ground.” Lexi said with a sigh.

“So….um….what did you want to do today?” Chastity asked again.

“I’ll join you for whatever you have planned. It’s your day.” I stated.

“OH. Ok. Well we’re about to go work out. Marcus said that the best way to keep our muscles in shape is to work out everyday, even though we don’t have self defense class on the weekends. I figured he would know best being a warrior. So….umm…do you want to go work out with us?” Chastity explained.

“UH.” I looked down at the polo, and khakis I was wearing, “I don’t have gym clothes with me. I’m sure I can find a place to buy some though.”

“We can go up to the department store to get you some real quick. If you can of course.” Chastity offered.

“YES! SHOPPING!” Norm squealed earning a giggle from Chastity, and Lexi.

“Not you babe. You don’t need anything.” Marcus said to Norm quietly.

“I don’t have to buy anything. I can help him find something though. That’s half the fun.” Norm whined, and Marcus rolled his eyes.

“Why don’t we go get me what I need then we can all go work out together.” I said.

Chastity nodded, and skipped to the elevator. I followed behind, checking out her ass. As always it was perfect. Just like everything else about her. It was driving me nuts that I hadn’t even got a hug from her yet, but I knew why, and understood. Touch was something she was struggling with. Once we were on the elevator though, she surprised me. She came up to me, and wrapped her arms around me, and squeezed gently. I put my arms around her immediately, and looked down at her. Her smile was so big, and I could even see it in her eyes..

“Hi.” I said smiling back.

“Hi. This was a nice surprise. Thank you for coming.” She whispered.

“You’re welcome. I’m happy to be here.”

She released me as soon as the doors to the elevator open. Before she could get far from me I took hold of her hand. She looked up at me with a small smile then led me to where I could get some gym clothes. Once done we all made our way to the gym. When I met everyone in the gym after changing I found. Marcus watching the other three stretch. I gave him a questioning look.

“I’m mostly spotting, and monitoring. I did three hours work out this morning.” He explained.

“AH.” I responded then began stretching.

I hadn’t worked out today or done any training so I decided to jump right in with Chastity, Lexi, and Norm. I will fully admit that watching Chastity in her tight pants and top was killing me though. I couldn’t count how many times I had to adjust myself in my shorts. Exercising with a hard on was not any easy thing to do. I caught Marcus snickering at me near the end.

“What’s so funny?” I asked quietly as I walked to him.

“Having a hard time there aren’t you?” He chuckled.

“Funny.”

“Why do you think I did my work out BEFORE coming here today? I learned that lesson yesterday. Watching my mate’s ass in those shorts of his was killing me yesterday.”

“I’ll bet.”

“Alright you three. We’re done here.” Marcus called out.

Chastity looked relieved, and flopped back on her mat.

“Lex I think Marcus is trying to kill us. Matt never works us this hard.” Chastity said breathing hard.

“That’s because Matt is a pansy. He does everything soft.” Marcus stated.

“So why aren’t you teaching our class then?” Lexi asked.

“Because I expect too much from beginners. At least that’s what I’m told.” Marcus answered, helping

Norm up.

“I don’t think you do honey.” Norm cooed.

“I’m just getting started with you. You haven’t seen anything yet.” Marcus growled.

“EWWWWW! MARCUS I DO NOT NEED TO HEAR THAT SHIT!” Lexi squealed.

“Deal with it brat.” Marcus said, rolling his eyes.

I chuckled as I helped Chastity, and Lexi up.

“Ummm. You can take a shower, and change in my room, if you want.” Chastity whispered to which I nodded.

After running to grab my stuff from the locker room, I followed the group to the housing building. I was kind of surprised to see Norm, Lexi, and Chastity had their rooms so close together. I some how knew that made Chastity feel a little more safe. She needed that, and it was good for her to have people she cared about so close. I knew Lexi was looking out for her as I had received an email earlier in the week telling me as much. I chuckled as Chastity slowly opened her door, and peeked inside before letting us both walk in.

“Checking to make sure it was safe?” I joked following her.

“No. Just making sure Lilac didn’t try to make a sneak attack.” She answered with a smile.

“Ah.”

I looked around the room. I spotted a fleece covered tray hooked to the window, a small basket full of what I assume was cat toys, a four foot tall what Chastity called a cat tree, food and water dishes, but no cat. After looking for another minute I finally spotted a tiny ball of fluffy curled up on the bed with, of all things, Chastity’s stuffed Duke, on top of my hoodie. Chastity called her name, and a tiny head popped up. That was Lilac.

“That is her baby? It looks small enough to be what I coughed up the other day.” Duke snipped.

“Shut up Duke. It’s only two months old. It’s gonna be tiny.” I snapped back.

Chastity broke me out of my conversation quickly.

“If you want to pet her, move toward her slowly, and let her sniff your fingers first.” Chastity advised as she set her phone and ID down before taking off her shoes.

I did as she suggested. Lilac sniffed my fingers for a second before rubbing against them. I could just hear her little purr. Kneeling down by the bed so I was eye level she walked right up to me, and touched. her nose to mine. I had to admit the thing was kinda cute. Before I could move away the kitten climbed onto my shoulder, and sat down. I looked at Chastity, confused.

“She likes you. She only does that to me.” Chastity said with a giggle.

Lilac started rubbing her head against my ear, and purring as loud as her little body would allow.

“Now you belong to her. She marked you.” Chastity said.

“Uh Excuse me?” I questioned.

“Cats have scent glands on their cheeks, and behind their ears. When they rub on you like she is it means she is telling other cats you belong to her.” Chastity explained as she sat down at her desk chair.

“Kind of like wolves when they scent their mate.”

“Pretty much. That’s about all our similarities though.”

“Hmm. Interesting.”

“Why don’t you go take your shower first?”

“No. You go ahead. I’ll spend some time getting to know Lilac.”

“Uh. Ok. If you want to play with her she loves the wand toy on the dresser. Make it kind of hop along the floor, and she’ll chase it. If you lift it up in the air, and shake it, she’ll jump for it. Switch between the two. She’ love it.”

“UH. OK.”

After Chastity grabbed clothes, and closed herself in the bathroom, I lifted Lilac off my shoulder to look at her. She was pretty cute, for a cat. I stared at her as she stared right back.

“So you’re the one taking care of my sweet girl.” I said quietly, and I heard Duke laughing at me in my head.

“Dude. It’s a cat. What’s it going to say?” Duke chuckled.

“Oh shut up.” I snapped, as I put Lilac on the floor, and grabbed the wand toy.

I jiggled the feathers on the ground, watched as she jumped at it, after wiggling her little butt. Before she reached it I pulled it off the ground. I watched it closely as it watched the feather dance in the air, and it’s whiskers twitch. Before I knew it I was laughing watching this little ball of fluff go crazy over a couple of feathers. It was definitely more agile than I expected as it twisted and flipped after the feather.

“Alright. I concede. The little thing is kind of cute.” Duke huffed in my head.
