***Chastity***

The next month and a half flew by. Colby, and Lexi had moved into one of the mate suites on the thirdfloor. He wasn’t around as much as Lexi had hoped just due to his own schooling. When he was therethough she was always very happy. Colby, and Marcus also became pretty good friends. They had a lotmore in common than either of them realized. They spent a lot of time in the gym together. At first thatmade Norm, and Lexi a bit nervous, but they got over it quickly when they watched the two work outtogether. They were very competitive.

Rowen managed to come visit me two weekends, and I went home one. We had enjoyed those timestogether, and I could feel our bond getting stronger. Dee-Dee helped a lot with that too. I had come along way in how I viewed those of higher rank than myself. I still had problems with self confidence, andI did. have one major panic attack when a fight broke out between two males one day during one ofRowen’s visits.

We had been in Dark Moon’s pack town with Colby, Lexi, Norm, and Marcus, just leaving a café afterhaving lunch. I don’t know what happened, or why, but two males started screaming at each other. Thesound of their yelling caused me to lock up immediately. At the sound of flesh hitting flesh, I crumbledto the ground, and shook, badly. I couldn’t breath, and I had tears streaming down my face.

Rowen was great about the whole thing though. He simply picked me up, and ran me as far away fromthe fight as he could. He held me in his arms once he stopped, used calming words, rubbed my back,and ran his fingers through my hair until I came out of my attack. Of course that set off a chain reactionof seeing. myself as weak, and not good enough for him. Thankfully Dee-Dee, and Rowen helped methrough that.

I also got to spend time with Molly, and Melissa. One of the weekends Rowen came to visit he broughtboth girls, as well as Jax, and Ross with him. Our group of ten had a blast that weekend. We went to abaseball game, at Colby’s pleading. Us girls, and Norm did a another painting class, while the guyswent to compete against each other in the gym. We also got to help Norm, and Marcus work on theirhouse a bit, followed by dinner with Norm’s family before everyone had to go home.

I had also ended up buying my own camera, and started taking a photography class. Norm-joined mefor that one at first, but he just couldn’t sit still long enough to really get any good pictures. He wasn’tdisappointed though. He ended up staying in the class, and became one of the models instead. Thathad bothered Marcus at first, until Norm reassured him that it was clothes on. Marcus loved it after thatbecause he got a lot of pictures of his “excited boy” smiling, and happy.

I tutored Braxton diligently, and was really proud of how well he was doing so far with school. I alsoloved how proud of himself he was. The look on his face every time he showed me the grades hereceived made me smile. In such a short time, he had come a long way. He also talked about how wellhe was doing in warrior training in order to prepare for teaching pups self defense in the future. Hedidn’t talk. much about Greg though. I knew they had gotten closer, and did dinner together, just themonce a week, but beyond that he wouldn’t really talk about it.

My classes were going really well, and I was actually a little bit ahead of all of my classmates. I strivedto read as much as I could for each class, and have assignments complete, and ready ahead ofschedule. I had worked too hard to mess this up. I wasn’t going to let myself fall behind in any way. Iwas proud of myself with how well I was doing. I even got a call from Dimitri several times after heheard from my instructors, raving about how impressed they were with me. Those always made metear up with happiness because those conversations turned into just talking, and connecting. I likedgetting to know my dad, and building a relationship with him.

Self defense class was going ok. I liked that I was building muscle, and getting stronger. I liked that Ifelt

myself getting physically fit as well. We weren’t sparing with each other, but Matt had set up punchingbags, and targets in the classroom so we could start learning to punch, slap, and kick properly. As wellas to identify the best targets to strike. Honestly that was my least favorite part. I didn’t like the idea ofhitting another person. It didn’t help that the sounds of the punching bags being struck always mademe jump. My jumping would make Matt growl. He would just have to get over it though. He didn’t knowor need to know why that made me jump. Anytime he asked, Lexi would always tell him to mind hisown business.

At one point Colby had come to watch the class, just to see, and got right in Matt’s face. He told him toback the hell off me. That didn’t go too well as it caused the start of a panic attack for me. HearingColby using the tone he once used on me, scared me. He quickly took over calming me, and got meout of there with the help of Lexi, and Norm. He didn’t watch another class again. He said it pissed himoff too much to see Matt doing, and saying the things he was. He kept talking about getting Mattreplaced, but I made him promise not to as I didn’t want to piss off Matt. I didn’t know how he wouldreact if he got in trouble, and I didn’t want to replace out.

Today was Friday, and I had to run to grab a few things from the supply store. I was just grabbing whatI needed when my phone rang. I looked down to see it was Braxton. I knew he had had a test today,and was going to call me about it after school. I smiled as I answered it.

“Hi Braxton.” I answered cheerfully.

“Chas….Chastity.” Braxton mumbled, sounding like he was crying.

“Braxton, what’s wrong?” I asked, my smile falling instantly.

“….Can……can you come home this weekend please?”

“I…..why? What’s wrong? Braxton, tell me what happened.”

“I…..I came home from school, and went to check on Greg before I started my homework. Chastity,he’s gone.”

“Gone? What do you mean gone? He left without telling you?”

“No…..he…..he passed away.”

“Oh no. Braxton I’m so sorry.”

“I knew he was getting really bad, but I thought…..well I thought I had more time.”

“I know you did Braxton. I’m so sorry.”

“Jax, and Rowen are at Dark Moon today. I already called Jax. Can….can you come home with themtoday. please? I know Colby won’t be able to because of weekend training, but can you please?”

“Yes. Definitely. I’ll be there. Ok? I’m so sorry Braxton.”

“Thank you. I…..I’m going to go replace dad. He said he would help me with making arrangements.”

“Ok. I’ll be home as soon as I can. Are Jax, and Rowen coming to pick me up?”

“Yes. Jax said they’ll be there to get you soon.”

“Ok. I’ll see you soon. I’m going to go pack up some stuff.”

“Ok. Thank you.”

He hung up before ! could say anything more. My heart broke for Braxton. He had been through somuch in such a short time. I really worried about how this would effect him. I knew Dimitri would do allhe could for him though. I quickly paid for the items I needed, and rushed out of the supply store. I was

just leaving the admin building when I heard someone call my name. I turned to see Matt joggingtoward me with a smile on his face.

“Hey there Chastity.” Matt said as he reached me.

“Hi Matt. I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to talk. I need to get going.” I said as I waved to him, andstarted heading toward the housing building.

“Oh. Well I’ll walk you back.”

“Uh…..well….alright.”

“So how are your classes going?”

“Good.”

“That’s good. Do you like it here?”

“Yeah. Cloverland is a great school.”

“That’s what I hear, but I meant here, in Dark Moon.”

“Oh. Well yeah. It’s a great place.”

“Yeah. Dark Moon is the best pack in the world.”

“Um… Yeah. It does seem pretty great.”

“Think you’ll stay after you finish school?”

“No. I want to go back to my pack. I have a lot waiting for me there.”

“But what if someone wants you to stay?”

“I’m sorry, but I want to go home once I’m done here.”

“Oh. Well what are you doing this weekend?”

I had just reached my door when I turned to look at him. I was just about to answer when he backedme up against my door, and caged me in. My eyes widened, and I began to tremble in fear. What thehell was he doing? I didn’t like that at all. He ran a finger down my cheek, and smiled. I tried to getaway, but he had me trapped.

“I see the way you watch me in class all of the time. You’re eyes never stray from me.” Matt saidquietly.

“I…..I am watching your movements so I can repeat them.” I whispered with a shaky voice.

“I think it’s more than that. I think you want me as much as I want you. We may not be mates, but Ithink. we could be great together anyway. Go out with me this weekend, and I’ll prove it to you.”

“…..I’m going home this weekend.”

“So cancel, and stay here with me. We’ll make a weekend of it.”

“I…..I really can’t. I’m…..I’m not interested anyway. Thank you though.”

“I know you’re just playing hard to get, but I know you want me. I can see it.”

I was about to responded when I heard a loud growl come from my right. As scared as I was, and asmuch as I was trembling, I looked over, and breathed a sigh of relief. There stood a pissed off lookingJax, and Rowen. My locked up body suddenly allowed me to move, I pushed away from Matt, and wentright into Rowen’s arms. He pulled me tight against him as I buried my face in his chest, breathing himin. I felt more than I saw Jax move closer to me, and put his hand on my back.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Jax growled as Rowen tried to calm me.

“Oh. I see how it is. You want more of a tag team type situation. That can be arranged.” Matt sneered.“Do you make it a habit of forcing your attentions on someone who isn’t interested?” Jax snapped. “Ohshe’s interested man. She just doesn’t want you two to know it. I guess she’s not getting all she needswith just the two of you, so she wants to add me into the mix. I don’t mind sharing though. I can treather like a little whore if she really wants.” Matt quipped, and I crinkled my brow in confusion. “NamesMatt by the way. I figure if we’re going to be sharing her, we might as well all get acquainted. Who areyou! two?”

“You EVER talk about my mate like that again I’ll rip your throat out.” Rowen growled, as he held metighter.

“Oh so you like to share your mate with your buddy? I’ve never heard of mates being willing to do thatbefore, but I’m game.” Matt said.

I blanched as I finally caught on to what he was saying I was disgusted. What was wrong with him?!could feel Rowen’s body trembling with rage against me, but surprisingly it didn’t scare me. I feltcomforted by it. I felt safe, and protected. I found myself confused by that, but I pushed that aside tofocus on what was happening around me. I jumped when I heard something slam against the wall. Iopened my eyes, and turned to see Jax had Matt against the wall by his collar. He was right up inMatt’s face, looking very angry. Surprisingly that didn’t scare me either.

“You s stay the hell away from my sister or I’ll rip your throat out for him. Do I make myself clear?” Jaxgrowled right in Matt’s face.

“You….you’re sister?” Matt asked, looking shocked.

“Yes my sister! She is also my Future Luna. Now as I said you come near her again, I will take pleasurein ripping your throat out if Rowen doesn’t get to you first. Got it.” Jax growled again.

“Lu….Rowen……OH shit! You’re the future Alpha of Moonlight pack?” Matt stuttered, looking veryscared all of a sudden.

“Yes I am, and I will NOT put up with you coming near my mate again. Nor will I be accepting of you.touching her again. Stay the hell away.” Rowen stated firmly.

“OH please. You don’t see how she looks at me during self defense class. She wants me. She justwon’t tell you she does.” Matt sneered.

“Funny considering my brother told me it was the other way around. He also told me that you were toldto keep your damn hands off her, and you wouldn’t. She watches your movements so she can repeatthem. She has no interest in you.” Jax snapped.

“Keep telling yourselves that. I know differently. Not I like believe any of this anyway. If she was yourmate she sure as shit wouldn’t be here.” Matt chuckled.

“You know nothing of my mate or our relationship. Not like it matters at this point. I’ll be making sureyou don’t come near her again.” Rowen stated.

“You can’t do shit.” Matt said, looking smug.

“One call to my cousin Robert, your Alpha, and you’ll be on shit duty for the rest of your damn life. Assoon as you leave this building I’ll be making sure you don’t step foot on this campus as long as mymate is attending Cloverland.” Rowen said.

“You can’t do that.” Matt said quietly.

“Watch me.”

Rowen moved one arm he had wrapped around me away, and pulled out his phone. I watched as helifted it to his ear.

“Hey Rob….. Yeah….Listen do you know the warrior Matt who teaches self defense atCloverland….Ok…… Yeah that one. Can you get him taken out of here, and replaced please?……Huh?….OH yes. He cornered Chastity and was pretty inappropriate with her…… Well Jax has him inhand right now. Probably better him then me……She’s ok…… Yeah…… Thanks. I’ll let her know…….Yeah for the weekend…..Alright…..I’ll do that. Bye.” I could only hear Rowen’s side of the conversation,but it sounded ok. He kissed the top of my head as he put his phone away.

“Well?” Jax asked, still holding Matt against the wall.

“Matt, your commander wants to see you. You’re being reassigned. If you EVER come near Chastityagain. Jax, and I have permission to kill you.” Rowen said smugly.

“…..Bullshit!” Matt snapped.

“I suggest you go before I do rip your throat out right now. No one touches my sister, and his mate andgets away with it.” Jax growled.

“You couldn’t hurt me. I’d take you out in a heartbeat. You can’t be more than a low rank wolf.” Mattsneered.

“I’m a Beta actually, and while you might be older than me, I can still take you out in a blink. If I can’t hewill. I don’t think you would like what he did to you first, before he killed you either.” Jax chuckled, and Itrembled a bit at the malice in his voice.

“You wouldn’t. That would cause a war between our packs.” Matt whimpered.

“I already have permission. Alpha, remember, and Robert is my cousin. You touched a Luna, and herAlpha has rights to deal with an offender such as yourself in any means he deems fit.” Rowen saidsmugly.

I clung tighter to Rowen. Hearing he would protect, and defend me any way he could some how mademe feel good. It shouldn’t. It should probably scare me, but in the moment it didn’t. Not at all. He kissedthe top of my head again.

“I suggest you go before he releases Chastity because I have no doubt she is the ONLY thing keepinghim from killing you right this second.” Jax stated as he released Matt, and stepped back.

Matt took one look at all of us, and ran down the hall. I snuggled into Rowen as I felt him take a deepbreath, and let it out.

“Are you ok sweet girl?” Rowen asked me gently, and I nodded against his chest.

“He didn’t hurt you did he?” Jax asked, and I shook my head no.

“Good. I hate to say this, but we need to get a move on. Did Brax call you?’ Jax questioned.

“Yeah. He did. I feel horrible for him.” I responded as Rowen slowly released me, and I took a stepback.

“Me too. How quickly can you get packed?’ Jax asked.

“Pretty quick, if you two help me.” I responded as I opened my door.

“We can do that.” Rowen said as they followed me into my room.

“Ok. Rowen, can you get my toiletries together. I’m going to get clothes. Jax, can you dump some ofLilac’s food in one of the Ziploc bags over there, grab her food bowl, and a couple of toys please?” Iasked as I went to grab a duffle bag.

“Uh…..I have a food bowl, and toys for her at my apartment.” Jax admitted as he scratched the back ofhis head.

“You what?” I gasped.

“Well it’s got to be a pain the ass for you to carry all of this stuff whenever you come home so I pickedup some stuff for her so you don’t have to.” Jax explained, and I giggled at him.

“Lilac is going to be spoiled rotten when you move home Chastity. I got her a 6 foot cat tree, and awindow seat for my place last weekend.” Rowen chuckled as he walked into the bathroom.

“And you two don’t even like cats.” I snickered as I threw clothes into my duffle bag.

“Yeah well you love her so what can we do?” Rowen questioned as he came out of the bathroomholding my toiletry bag.

“I don’t know.” I responded as I took it, and put it in my duffle bag.

I grabbed Lilac’s harness, and put it on her then clipped on her leash. Rowen picked up my duffle bag.After I stuffed my journal into my book bag, I was ready.

“Um….Pip Squeak.” Jax called me quietly.

“Yeah?” I questioned.

“Um…do you really want to spend 4 hours in the car wearing gym clothes?”

“Huh?”

I looked down at myself to see I was still in my work out clothes from self defense class. I said shitquietly, grabbed clothes, and went change as I heard Jax, and Rowen chuckle. With a shake of myhead I changed. I was coming out of the bathroom as there was a knock at my door. Rowen opened itto replace a panting Colby standing there.

“Brax called me. I…I can’t get out of weekend training. I tried. I….I feel horrible. He needs us there.”Colby panted.

“Colby, it’s ok. He understands.” Jax said quietly.

“But he needs his family with him right now. I should be there.”

“He does. Chastity, and I will be there for him this weekend, but he understands why you can’t be. Heknew about your training even before this happened. When he called me to tell me he also told me totell you not to beat yourself up about not being there. He told me to tell you that you’re not letting himdown. by not being able to come home. He told me to tell you that you would let him down if youscrewed up here by leaving when you really can’t. He wants this for you, and doesn’t want you to loseyour chance at Denu.” Jax explained gently.

“He…He said that?”

“He did. He said that what you can do for him now is do what you’re supposed to be doing here then.come visit when you can. You two will go train together or throw balls for awhile then. Right now heneeds you to focus on your training. Alright?”

“Yeah. Alright. Damn it. That poor pup. He’s been through some shit lately.”

“Yeah he has, but he’ll get through it.”

“I know. Chas, can you give him an extra hug for me?”

“Of course Colby.” I responded.

“Thanks. I gotta get back. I have to be in formation in less than an hour.”

“Alright. We love you brother, and make us proud.” Jax said with a smile.

Colby only nodded. He looked sad, but he took back off down the hall to get back to Denu. I felt badthat he couldn’t come home for Braxton, but I understood. I knew there were going to be times over thenext couple of years that I wouldn’t be able to go home due to school either.

Jax, and Rowen grabbed my stuff for me. After I picked up Lilac we left the building in silence. Most ofthe drive home was quiet. Rowen sat in the back seat, and just held me as I stared out the window, andworried about Braxton. I hoped Greg passing didn’t set him back in any way. He had been doing sowell. I hope it didn’t spark his anger either. He was doing well learning to control that too. I guess Iwould see when I got home.
