***Rowen***

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face. While Chastity, and I hadn’t done much, just the fact that she let me do that made me happy. Her reactions, and well everything had been what I hoped for. I had a feeling it would still be awhile before I got to make love to her, but I really didn’t mind, much. Waking up with her still asleep in my arms was also amazing as it rarely happens. She needed her rest though. She had worked hard the day before, and had been up incredibly early.

After kissing Chastity’s shoulder I slipped out of bed to take a shower. Just thinking about how she moved under me, and reacted to my touch made my dick feel like it was going to explode. Getting off felt just a bit better as I had some real imagines to think of instead of just fantasy. Well there was still fantasy, but I had a little clearer picture of what it would be like to be inside her.

Chastity was still asleep when I came out of the bathroom. She was too beautiful to resist so I moved to the bed, and kissed her on the cheek. She didn’t even move. With a quiet chuckle, I put food in Lilac’s bowl, and left the bedroom, closing the door behind me. I found Jax sitting on one of the couches in the living room, drinking coffee. I grabbed my own cup, and joined him. Colby showed up shortly after I sat down. Once Colby was seated, they both looked at me.

“Rowen, we need to talk.” Jax stated.

“About what?” I asked, feeling pretty confused.

“You and Chastity.” Colby growled.

“What about Chastity, and me?” I questioned, with a slight growl.

“Chill Rowen. You’re not getting the whole don’t touch her speech. No matter how we feel about it, you’re her mate. We have to accept that.” Colby said.

“Are you saying that you don’t like that I’m her mate?” I snapped.

“It’s not like that Rowen. Not at all. Yeah we’re protective of her. Especially me. No offense Colby.” Jax said quickly.

“None taken.” Colby sighed.

“You’ll feel the same way about Gina when she starts dating or finds her mate. Honestly, I’d prefer it to be you than some shmuck off the street I don’t know.” Jax said.

“True.” I agreed with a grunt.

“I just…fuck man. I just don’t want Chastity to feel pressured, you know?” Jax said quietly.

“Pressured how?” I questioned.

“To…umm…well one to be marked. And well into…fuck…..how the hell do I talk about this shit with my little sister’s mate? I don’t even want to think about it, much less talk about it.” Jax said frustrated as he ran his hand through his hair.

“We don’t want her to feel pressured into sex.” Colby snapped.

“You really think I would do that to her?” I growled, getting really pissed off.

“No. Yes. I don’t fucking know man. I just…I’m worried alright. She had a shit life for a long time. I just….I want her to take things at her own pace is all. We both do.” Jax sputtered.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Rowen, you’re an Alpha. Alpha’s take what is theirs without thinking twice about it.” Colby said bluntly. “What the hell? Jax you should know me better than that! We’ve been friends since we were in diapers!” | said through gritted teeth.

“I do, but. It’s just that I worry about her.” Jax said.

“You know, I get it. In a way I do, but I’m fucking insulted. Jax, it’s been 6 months. Have I marked her yet? Have you heard me talking about marking her? Don’t you think, if I was going to just take what’s mine, I would have done it already?” I growled.

“Yeah. Probably.” Jax mumbled.

“Exactly. The last thing I want to do is push her, pressure her, or force something I know damn well she isn’t ready for. Hell, we’ve only talked about marking once in the last 6 months. That conversation happened on Monday morning. She wants to wait until she finishes school, and I respect that. None of this is your business, but some of it is her not being ready, and some of it is not wanting to make any already difficult situation harder. You have no fucking idea how hard it is to go a week or more without seeing your mate. When you do it’s only for a short amount of time. It fucking sucks, but I’m doing it for her. Because it’s what is best for her! I hate this shit, but I am doing it because I love her, support her, respect her, and want only what is best for her. Being at Cloverland is what is best for her so I suck it up, and do what she needs me to. All the while reminding myself that when she’s done she’s going to come home to me, and we’ll have our whole lives together.

“As far as sex goes. That isn’t any of your damn business either. Definitely isn’t, but that too is going at her pace, when she’s ready. I’m not pushing her in any way. She calls the shots here, not me. After knowing all that she has been through do you think that I would even consider pushing her for more than she is willing to give? Do you think I would take away the control she deserves to have over her own body? Do you really think I’m that much of an asshole?” I struggled not to start yelling at both of them.

“Rowen?” I heard a soft voice whisper behind me.

I turned to see Chastity standing in the door way with tears in her eyes. I was up, and over the couch in a second. As soon as I reached her, I searched her eyes to see what she was feeling. I was so worried I said something that hurt her, or make her angry at me. I cupped her cheeks, and ran my thumbs under her eyes to catch her tears.

“I….I’m sorry sweet girl. I…” I stuttered.

“Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything wrong?” Chastity whispered.

“Yeah, but I….”

“Rowen. Thank you for loving me enough to do the things you are for me.”

I released the breath I was holding at hearing she wasn’t mad at me. I rested my forehead against hers, and just breathed her in. When I saw her smile at me, I couldn’t help, but smile back. When that smile dropped, and I saw anger in her eyes I got worried again. She pulled my hands from her face, and turned

to her brothers.

“YOU TWO! HOW COULD YOU? DO I GET INVOLVED IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS? HAVE I GONE ALL PROTECTIVE SISTER ON MOLLY AND LEXI?” Chastity yelled, and I was shocked to hear how angry she

was.

“Chas, it’s not….” Jax started, but she cut him off.

“I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT JAX! I DON’T GET INVOLVED IN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS IN ANY WAY! I SUPPORT YOU, AND LOVE YOU! I WATCH YOU BE IDIOTS, BUT I STAY THE HELL OUT OF IT! WHEN YOU AND LEXI WERE DANCING AROUND EACH OTHER FOR MONTHS, COLBY, I STAYED OUT OF IT! WHEN

YOU, AND MOLLY PISS EACH OTHER OFF, JAX I STAY THE HELL OUT OF IT! WHY CAN’T YOU HAVE THE SAME RESPECT FOR ROWEN AND ME?” Chastity continued to yell.

Chastity. None of us have been through what you have. We just don’t want you to feel pressured. We’re

“Ouch.” Colby muttered.

protect me then, or at least let me know you never forgot me. I needed to know you still loved me. That I was still important to you. Yes Rowen did hurt me, but he has been working so hard to fix that. To make it right, and to show me he wants me, and only me. He has proven that to me time, and time again. I forgave him, and we’ve moved forward. I am happy with Rowen, and I love him. “Chastity said, and

Yes I tried to get out of going, or taking you with me, but I didn’t have a choice about leaving you here. I don’t have an excuse for not contacting you. Maybe I was afraid that I would, and you would hate me for leaving. You would tell me to fuck off. Maybe I was afraid that since I wasn’t here I wouldn’t matter to you any more. Maybe I was afraid I would find out that you were being hurt here and there wasn’t a fucking

unconditionally, no matter your faults or your flaws, I wanted my mate. I knew my mate would get me out of the life I was living. I knew he would love me in the ways I wasn’t being loved. He would worry about me, take care of me, be everything I needed him to be, and more. He would save me in every way. I needed that. I wanted that. The moment I turned 18 I was ready to find my mate, and let him mark me. Yes it was because he meant safety. The moment I caught Rowen’s

would make it even harder. If he marked me now I would probably drop out of school because I’m not sure I could handle it.
