Chapter 21: Crazy About Chasity

Felix

The little minx was sneaking about the house, avoiding us so she didn’t have to talk about progressing

our relationship.

“She’s been avoiding us lately even though the dates were going so well! She had fun at the movies!

She loved that vomit movie and

we took her to see three more movies, all with no plot. Now she’s tiptoeing about when she leaves her

room and when she goes into her

room, she locks the door and pretends to be asleep in there!” I fumed.

I was pacing back and forth in Alex’s room. I was trying to

not rush Chasity but every time things got steamy naturally, she pulled

back. She refused to even tell me what she wanted for Christmas. She had given me some vague

answers like “I’ll be happy with anything

” and “it’s the thought that counts”. Well, she was getting a Range Rover. It was already paid for, but

the minx might use it to run away. I

was terrified.

“Am I not sexy anymore? Am I losing my appeal?” I asked my brothers.

Calix burst into laughter. Alex rolled his eyes.

“You’re very good-looking,” said Calix, obviously just complimenting himself. “Your personality is kinda

blah though.”

I hurled a pillow at his face. He caught it laughing. Alex took a break from drawing perfect lines in his

Alpha notebook. He loved

re-checking their measurements after to ensure they were as perfect as originally measured. He closed

the book with a sigh.

“Alpha of Alphas has put his rule book down for you! You know s**t just got real!” Commented Calix,

grinning.

“Felix,” said Alex sternly. “Chasity is eighteen. She is shy. She is one person. We are twenty-one. We

are outgoing. There are three of

1. Do the math. She is intimidated. We also have a bad history with her, making the situation that

much worse. We’re lucky she even

agrees to let us take her out,” he said, frowning.

I took a deep breath.

“Thank you for pausing triple-checking your straight lines for me,” I said, putting my hand to my heart. “I

am touched, really.

Regarding Chasity, since you like math, tell me how many vomit movies away am I from a kiss?”

Alex opened the book and began measuring the lines again.

“I have to draw the timetable for January’s bedtime placements. I finished December already,” he said,

talking to himself.

Calix was snickering. I threw another pillow at him.

“Felix, leave Alex alone. Honestly, I’m so glad I’m not a lone Alpha. We have Alex to do all the thinking,

you to do all the fighting, me

to be Chasity’s favourite and make sure we have an heir,” said Calix with a wink.

Thad no more pillows so I tackled him. We wrestled on the ground until we hit Alex’s work desk and he

parted us, using his Alpha

Voice to throw us out of his room. Calix and I were Alphas too so we could not be commanded in the

long-term but as Alex was the eldest Alpha, his Alpha Voice could stop us momentarily, a fact that

pissed me off at first. Now, I was grateful for it. I would have bitten Chasity if

not for that temporary command from Alex. I could storm back into Alex’s room to argue with him. The

temporary command had faded

already. I had realised I could also resist the compulsion to follow Alex’s commands.

I sighed. I was complaining to the wrong person. A sly smile spread across my face. It was the

weekend so Chasity was home.

I knocked on Chasity’s door.

“Chasity!” I called.

Silence.

“Baby!” I yelled, banging on the door.

I heard a squeak. I smirked.

“I just got out of the bath. One sec,” she called.

She opened the door. Her curls were drenched and she was sniffling. She had thrown a fuzzy robe on.

The hood was made to look

like a fox. I smirked at that. Appropriate. I playfully tugged on one of the fuzzy fox ears on her hood.

“Who got you this? You bought it with the credit card?” I asked.

She shook her head. “I only use that for emergencies! Calix got me some robes and onesies too! I

have a unicorn, a fox, a uni-,” she

started listing them off excitedly but I did not come here to play with stuffed toys. That was for her and

Calix to do.

“Wanna go out with me?” I asked.

“Tonight?” She asked.

“No, now!” I said, grinning.

“We always go out Saturday night,” she said.

“Yeah, the four of us but I mean right now in the day and just you and me,” I said slowly pulling her fox

hood over her head.

“Oh,” she said, her eyes widening.

She gave me a mischievous little smile.

“What did you have in mind?” She asked.

“Whatever my Baby wants to do,” I said. “Also, that credit card is not only for emergencies, it’s for

shopping. Actually, let’s do

that!’

“What?” Said Chasity.

“Get dressed! I’m taking you shopping!” I said.

I couldn’t let Baby Boy Calix out-Sugar-Daddy me.

“Ok!” Exclaimed Chasity.

“Um, I have to close the door,” she said.

I was standing in the doorway. I stepped into her room. She blushed. I knew she meant for me to step

outside. She shut the door

with me in her room anyway. She grabbed a towel and a dress and ran into the bathroom. I sat on her

bed. Her room was neat, not serial

killer clean like Alex, just reasonable..

She exited the bathroom, looking effortlessly pretty in a floral dress with stockings underneath. She

grabbed her boots. I kneeled

down and put them on for her. She smiled.

“Thanks,” she said.

“Ready?” I asked.

“Not yet,” she mumbled.

She went to her vanity and sat down. She dried her hair and detangled her curls. She began putting on

makeup. I watched her,

completely fascinated.

“I feel like I’m doing a makeup tutorial with you watching like that,” she chuckled.

I grinned.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“Mascara,” she said as though that were obvious.

“You used to have a new girlfriend every two months and you don’t know what mascara is?” She asked

incredulously,

I shrugged. Obviously, I had heard of it. I just hadn’t known what the tube looked like until now.

“Don’t pretend…” she began and then sighed.

“Stop being afraid of me! I’d rather we argue incessantly than you be afraid to say stuff to me,” I said.

I wasn’t that great with words like Calix. I could have said that better,

“Don’t pretend you didn’t sleep with those girls,” she said softly. “You would have seen them get ready

just like this.”

“You should!” I said bluntly. “You deserve to have fun. You deserve luxury.”

“My conscience won’t let me spend your money all willy-nilly while I contemplate leaving after

graduation,” she admitted.

My heart hurt.

“What would it take to make you stay?” I asked.

“A time machine,” she joked.

“I’m sorry! I know I’ve been a jerk! I’m really trying, Chasity. Baby, I…,”I paused.

I was close to tears but I refused to cry in front of her. When I parked outside the mall, I pressed my

forehead to the steering

wheel.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered.

“For what?” I mumbled, raising my head to look at her.

“For stressing you out. You know what I wish?” She asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

“What?” I asked, hoping it was a wish I could grant her.

“I wish my parents had not dropped me off at the pack house. The ice incident wouldn’t have

happened. We would be strangers. Then on the day you and your brothers became Alphas, I would

show up to the ceremony with my parents just like all the other pack

members. I would see you guys on the stairs when your father presented you all to the pack. I would

realise you were my mates. You

would look down and realise I was yours. It would be so easy that way to just….fall into your arms,” she

said, sniffling.

It took so much out of me to keep holding back my tears but I managed it. I pulled her into my lap and

cradled her head against my

chest.

“I love you Chasity Thorn,” I whispered to her. “In every possible timeline, the end result of you and me

is still me loving you.”

She wrapped her arms around me, burying her face in my chest. I leant in so I could inhale her scent.

Her curls were so fragrant.

“You smell amazing,” I blurted out.

“Thank you. You do too,” she said.

“I can’t give up. I won’t,” I told her.

She looked up at me, smiling. I brushed my nose against hers.

“I want to kiss you,” I whispered.

She cupped my face in her hands.

“Felix, I’m really not ready,” she admitted.

“I’ll wait,” I said.

She kissed both my cheeks softly. I kissed her forehead. I held her hands and brought them to my lips,

kissing each fingertip.

“Why do you always call me Chasity Thorn?” She asked. “Thorn is your last name.”

“I’Speaking it into existence,” I said.

She looked surprised.

“You’re my wife in my head,” I said simply.

She giggled, I pressed my forehead to hers.

“Let’s shop t’ill we drop, ok?” I said.

She nodded, grinning. She was hesitant to come out of the dressing room initially but she got more

comfortable as the day

progressed. I was holding her purse (whipped I know) while she tried on a tight little dress I picked out

when her phone rang. I looked at

it, scared it was gonna be some guy. It was a guy but it was just Calix. I answered it.

“Baby Boy Calixt”I greeted him.

“Where the f**k is Chasity?” He snarled,

“She’s right here! Chill!” I said, alarmed.

“Put her on the phone, then!” He demanded.

“Ok,” I said, annoyed.

What was his problem?

Chasity came out looking like a five course meal.

“I don’t know if it suits me,” she said bashfully.

“It suits me just fine,” I said, taking her hand and spinning her around so I could admire every angle of

her in that dress.

She giggled. I put the phone to her ear.

“It’s Calix. He’s being a jerk but if he yells at you, I’ll s***h his tyres,” I said loud enough for him to hear

on the other end. I could hear

the conversation.

“Hey Calix,” said Chasity sweetly.

“I would never yell at you, Chasity. I’m not mad at you. I got scared when you weren’t in your room and

Alex and I had no idea where

you went. Felix didn’t tell us you were going somewhere. I’m mad at him,” I heard Calix say.

“Sorry, it was spur of the moment. I didn’t mean to worry you. I’ll let you know where I’m going next

time,” said Chasity.

“Thanks, Goddess,” he murmured.

Chasity grinned, blushing slightly.

“Alex wants to talk to you,” said Calix.

“Ok,” said Chasity.

“Hey! You scared me half to death, Luna! I thought…anyway. I’m glad you’re safe and nearby,” said

Alex.

“Sorry about that! I should’ve said something,” said Chasity.

“No, Luna, it’s not your fault. Felix should know better. Put him on the phone, ok,”cooed Alex.

Chasity bit her lip nervously. “Ok,” she mumbled. “I don’t want you guys to argue because of me, ok?”

“Of course, Princess,” agreed Alex.

Chasity handed me the phone. I sighed.

“Yeah?” I said.

“You should have told us you were taking Chasity to the mall! You would be just as upset if you went to

her room and she was gone and you had no idea why! We didn’t know if she ran away or if she was

snatched by someone. A Luna is always a target for rival packs. We have to communicate with each

other, Felix. I get that you want a solo date. That’s fine but just tell us,” said Alex.

Ugh. I hated when he was right and he usually was.

“I’m sorry, Big Bro. I got…excited and just ran out the house. I wasn’t thinking,” I said.

“Calix is furious,” Alex said.

sonted with laughter.

“I realised,” I said.

We got something to eat before we went back to the pack house. When I walked in, Calix immediately

grabbed the scruff of my shirt

and slammed me into the wall.

“Stop!” Screamed Chasity,

“Calix!” Shrieked Mom.

“Boys!” Yelled Dad.

“What the f**k7” I smarled, taken by surprise.

“Don’t you ever take my mate somewhere without telling me ever again.” He yelled, his eyes black.

growled and shoved him off of me. He moved to tackle me but Alex grabbed him, holding him back.

“Cut it out! No fighting!” Said Alex in his Alpha Voice.

Calix sighed. His eyes turned blue again. He glared at me.

“We thought…she left,” said Alex with a shrug.

I felt guilty now, looking at how shaken they both looked. I would have freaked out if I had thought

Chasity had walked out of

my life.

“I’ll be upfront next time. It wasn’t intentional. Sorry,” I said.

I had never seen Calix act like that. He took a deep breath.

“Ok,” he said softly. “Sorry,” he added.

I nodded. I ruffled his hair and tried to put him in a friendly headlock. He ducked out from under me and

shoved me playfully. We

were both laughing. I loved my little brother. I wasn’t trying to hurt him. Alex smiled at our antics.

“Luna, are you gonna model your new clothes for me?” Asked Alex.

Chasity blushed. “Maybe,” she said coyly.

Mom was glaring at Chasity. s**t. Mom would interpret this as Chasity driving a wedge between us.

“Mom, shopping was my idea,” I said.

be

Mom was smoothing Calix’s hair.

“I don’t like my boys fighting,” she said, adjusting Calix’s shirt and then mine.

She gave Chasity a disapproving look. “You should want the best for your mates. All of them,” said

Mom.

“I do,” said Chasity.

“Is that why you can’t make up your mind about…” began Mom but Calix cut her off.

“Not today, Mom. Stop it,” said Calix sternly.

Mom looked shocked.

“It’s time for dinner. We’re having it early. The new cooks are wonderful!” Said Mom pointedly since she

couldn’t directly complain about Chasity.

“We should have hired professionals years ago,” said Mom.

“We did. You let them go after Chasity came to live here,” said Alex, annoyed.

“Biggest mistake of my life,” chuckled Mom.

“Letting the cooks go?” Asked Calix.

It sounded like she meant letting Chasity live here was the mistake. Mom laughed airily without replying

to Calix’s question.

“How was the mall?” Asked Mom.

“Great!” I said. “Chasity looked beautiful in everything, “I gushed.

lity brothers grinned.

“I want a fashion show,” said Alex pointedly, smirking at Chasity who blushed.

“After dinner?” Prompted Alex.

Chasity nodded. I raised my eyebrows.

“We should leave felix out of the fashion show audience,” teased Calix.

“Whatever, I’m going to be the announcer,” I said,

Calix

Chasity did not model her new clothes for us. I was still pissed at Felix. He of all people should know

the cold dread that filled me

when Chasity was nowhere to be found. I wanted to have conlidence in my relationship with Chasity

but the reality was that things were

on shaky ground. Felix should not have taken off with her but I was relieved she hadn’t just taken off

period.

Chasity seemed more relaxed now that we had hired two cooks and two maids. The new maids were

called Patty and Fanny. The new

cooks were Yvette and Marlene. They were all middle-aged she-wolves who considered it an honour to

work for their Alphas’ family. They

had criticised my Goddess for not being domestic. They obviously didn’t know she had done all four of

their jobs singlehandedly for

years. Felix had quickly shut them down, making it clear that he wanted Chasity to be a trophy wife.

Felix had this theory he was always

going on about

“If you let chicks do too much housework, their libidos go down,” he said. “See how frisky Chasity is

now that she’s idle.”

I snorted with laughter.

“She still hasn’t kissed us though!” Pointed out Alex.

“Yeah but I can feel how horny she is,” said Felix, putting his hand over his heart.

“That’s your heart, Felix. Wrong place,” said Alex.

I burst into laughter.

“My horniness for my Baby Chasity comes from my heart. It’s all connected,” he explained. “I wanna

get down on one knee so I can

get Chasity on herknees. That’s kinetics.”

“There is nothing kinetic about that, Felix!” Said Alex. “You’re thinking of pathetic, not kinetic.”

I burst into laughter.

I was just in a cheerful frame of mind because of the holiday season, Mom and I loved this time of year.

Mom had chosen silver, white

and ice blue decorations this year. There were several trees throughout the house, the biggest one in

the entrance room. I had hung yeti

ornaments on that one along with gingerbread men, Santa and Mrs Claus, elves, reindeer and lots of

twinkling lights. The entire exterior

of the pack house was strung with lights too. I knew Chasity loved the decorations. I had to make this

Christmas wonderful for her. I

already knew what I was getting her, a tropical vacay. I had talked it over with my brothers.

On one December morning, Chasity asked a loaded question during breakfast,

“How much money do I still owe you guys exactly, Alpha Romeo and Luna Ronnie?” My brothers and I

were uncomfortable. I could

tell the cooks and maids were trying to listen in.

“Nothing” barked Alex, throwing a disapproving look at our parents. “You owe them zero dollars and

zero cents.”

I smiled.

“No, you still owe a lot,” said Felix, shocking me. “But I’m the Alpha now and I accept kisses as

payment.”

Chasity rolled her eyes. I laughed, relieved he wasn’t being serious.

“I really want to know, please,” said Chasity.

Dad sighed.

“Your parents owed us about a quarter of a million dollars,” said Mom.

That was nothing to us. Why did Mom act like Chasity’s parents had left the pack destitute or

something.

“Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, ok, and how much have I worked off?” asked Chasity.

“We would have paid you about $500 a week,” said Mom.

“So that’s $500 times 52 weeks a year for 9 years cause I never took my vacation or sick days,” said

Chasity, laughing awkwardly.

The rest of the table was silent.

“That’s $234 000!” She concluded.

My Goddess was very good at math.

“To pay off the remaining $16000, ‘d have to work 32 more weeks,” said Chasity.

“That’s about 8 months. If I kept working i’d be almost totally done when high school is over. I’d just

have one more month to

BO,”

“Great math, Baby,” said felix. “But you won’t be working anymore. I’ve already told you this. Please

don’t defy me.”

I was grateful we were all on the same page when it came to Chasity’s housekeeping,

Chasity frowned.

“What if I left after high school and went my own way, would you still feel the same about me not

working?” She asked

hesitantly.

Mom gave us her “I told you so” face. Mom didn’t get it. We didn’t want Chasity working whether we

were her boyfriends or not.

“Yes, I would,” said Felix. “You’re done working here. You’re not obligated to be with us but your

housekeeping days are over. I told

you that already and I don’t like repeating myself. I’m only humouring this conversation because you’re

my mate. You can ask my

brothers how i act with pack members who defy me. You think you’ve seen the worst of me but I’ve

went soft on you your whole life, trust

me.”

Believe or not, Felix was right. He was merciless as an Alpha. He had zero tolerance for disobedient or

disloyal pack members

especially if their actions endangered the pack. For example, there was a young guy who lived near the

edge of our pack lands. Just

recently, we had found out he had been harbouring rogues in his cabin in exchange for free labour.

These particular rogues had been

given the option to join our pack but had refused. We found evidence that the rogues and the guy

harbouring them had an allegiance

with a rival pack. Paraphernalia from the rival pack had been on the premises but it was not enough to

officially charge them with

conspiracy or treason. The decision fell on Felix’s day to lead pack proceedings. Felix snapped

everyone’s neck in less than a minute. Alex

would have held a trial drawn out over days ending in fines, criminal records and jail time. I would have

probably let everyone off with a

warning.

“May I be excused?” said Chasity stiffly.

“No,” said Felix curtly,

She left the table anyway. Everyone looked at Felix. Alex looked ready to order Felix to calm down if

need be.

“I would never hurt her,” said Felix. “I love her,” he whispered, more to himself than to us.

We heard the front door slam which meant that Chasity had gone out into the snow in her pyjamas.

Felix roared and turned the

breakfast table over because he was such a balanced guy. He stomped out of the room. I heard the

front door slam twice as hard.

“They’re gonna break the f*****g door,” mumbled Alex.

“My pancakes,” I said, sighing.

“Be a Dear and make some fresh pancakes,” ordered Mom, looking at one of the cooks.

Dad put the table upright. The maids began sweeping up the broken mugs and plates.

“He better not hurt her!” I said to Alex.

“He would never,” said Alex, looking uncertain.

I got up, feeling worried. Alex did too. We heard the front door slam a third time and ran to the entrance

room just in time to see

Felix carrying Chasity up the stairs. He took her to his room and shut the door, locking it. We listened at

the door in case we needed to

intervene.

“I hate you!” Screamed Chasity.

f”* We would need to intervene.

“I love you,” we heard Felix say softly.

Maybe not. We pressed our ears to the door, facing each other.

Felix is crazy but he’s even crazier about Chasity,

I said to Alex over mind-link.

He’s so crazy about her, he’s sane, said Alex.
