Chapter 117

The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K Chapter 117

***Chastity***

The next morning Rowen woke me with breakfast in bed. I was honestly a little shocked that he was

awake before me. He did reassure me that he was not the one to make my food. Thankfully. Seeing his

smiling face the moment I woke up always made me so happy.

“Good morning sweet girl. Happy Birthday!” Rowen said as he placed the tray of pancakes, eggs, and

bacon on my lap.

“Thank you.” I responded as I smiled at him.

“You’re welcome. Did you sleep well?”

“I did. How long have you been up?”

“About an hour.”

“Why didn’t you wake me?”

“You needed sleep, and looked too peaceful to disturb. Plus it’s your birthday! Of course I’m going to let

you sleep in.”

“Well thank you. What are we doing today?”

“Nice try. I’m not going to tell you. It’s a surprise.”

“Oh. Please?” I gave Rowen my best puppy dog look, pouty lip, and all.

“Don’t do it Rowen!” I heard a female say from the bedroom door.

I looked up to see Gina standing there, smiling at me. I smiled back.

“Good morning Gina.” I said.

“Good morning Chas. Happy Birthday! Eat quickly, and go shower! You, and I are going shopping.”

Gina said excitedly.

“Is that my surprise?” I questioned.

“Nope, but you’re going any way.” Gina said with a giggle.

“Oh. What are we shopping for?”

“Clothes, shoes, jewelry, expensive stuff.”

“But I don’t need any of that.”

“Chastity, you can NEVER have too much clothing, shoes, and jewelry.”

“Uh.”

“Aunt Naomi is going with us so she’ll keep me in control.”

“Ok”

“Now hurry up.”

I nodded, and ate my breakfast quickly. Even after going with Norm on shopping trips where we just

looked, I still wasn’t a big fan of shopping. I could use a few things, I guess. It was

getting warmer, and none of the shorts and stuff I had from last summer fit me any more. I had finally

filled out to a healthy weight. I guess shopping wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Once I was finished I gave Rowen a quick kiss, and went to shower. Afterwards I found Gina, and

Rowen in the living room. I gave Rowen another kiss then followed a bouncing Gina out of the

apartment. She seemed so excited about this shopping trip that I couldn’t help giggling at her We found

Naomi waiting for us in the living room.

“Hi there you two. Are you ready to go?” Naomi asked with a smile.

“We sure are Aunt Naomi.” Gina said, and I nodded.

“Good. Now what is it we’re shopping for today?”

“I need new summer clothes. Everything that was purchased for me last year doesn’t fit any more.” I

responded.

“That’s a good thing. You have filled out nicely Chastity. It’s so good to see you so healthy for a

change.” Naomi stated with a smile.

“Thank you. I feel good too.”

“I’m glad. You’re style seems pretty simple.”

“I don’t really have a style, if I’m being honest. I just see something I like, and that’s pretty much it.

Although I’m not comfortable in anything too low cut, short, or tight.”

“I can see that revealing isn’t your thing, and that’s actually very good. We’ll start here.” “Start? What

do you mean by start?”

“You can’t buy a whole wardrobe in one store my dear girl.”

Naomi, and Gina both giggled at my look of concern. Usually window shopping trips with Norm were

done in one store, at Cloverland’s department store. I wasn’t so sure about this, walking into the first

shop.

“Don’t worry Chastity. It’ll be fun.” Gina stated as she move to a rack of tops.

“Chastity, what is your favorite color?” Naomi asked as she followed Gina.

“Uh. Purple. All shades of it really.” I answered, sifting through the tops, “Norm says I look good in

darker greens too.”

“He would be right about that.” Naomi agreed.

“What about this?” Gina stated as she pulled out the red halter top, and I wrinkled my nose at

“No. No red for Chastity. Red, and pink will clash with her hair.” Naomi waved her hand at the top.

“Ok, but what about the style?” Gina asked.

“Can I see the back?” I requested, and Gina turned it around, “No thank you. I don’t like a low back.”

“Why not?” Gina questioned as she put the top back.

I glanced at Naomi who was sorting, and pulling out a few things, then putting them back or draping

them over her arm. “I um….I have scars on my back. I don’t like showing them off.”

“Oh….I…..ok.” Gina stated with a nod, and moved to another rack.

“I can’t tell you how guilty I feel about that. That last time I felt so horrible I tried to take to the hospital.

Aurora caught me, and threatened me.” Naomi whispered.

“You did?” I asked just a quietly.

“Yes. I couldn’t go down to get you, but I made sure you could get to the hospital, and they were ready

for you. That time was all my fault. I egged that situation on. I’m so sorry.” “It’s in the past Naomi.

Beside I don’t think any of the scars on my back are from you.”

“They aren’t. I…..I couldn’t bring myself to hit you that hard. I hated myself every time it happened.”

“But you kept doing it.”

you

“I know. Aurora threatened Ross’s position as future Gamma. She said she would pin something on

him to make him lose his position. She would also do all she could to ruin his reputation. No I wasn’t a

very active mom for the reasons we discussed, but I do love my son, and would do anything to protect

him. I had to make a choice. I’m so sorry, but I couldn’t let her hurt Ross like that.”

“That female really was poison. She used Jax to keep me for telling anyone about what she was doing

to me so I do understand. It’s in the past Naomi. Let it go.”

“I’m working on it. Can I say something though?”

“Of course.”

“Don’t hide your scars”

“Why?”

“They are a symbol of your strength, and your will. They show you are a survivor.”

“You’re right they are, and I do see them that way. I just don’t like being questioned about them. I hate

having to keep telling my story. Having to repeat it all of the time just makes me feel like the past is still

holding me back in a way.”

“So don’t.”

“Don’t what?”

“Tell them when they ask. It’s your business, and you control what you tell people. They don’t need to

know, unless you want to tell them.”

“So what do I say?”

“Whatever you want to say. You are not obligated in any way to tell any one anything about yourself”

“I guess that makes sense.”

“Good. Now, I do think you should try on that halter top. I think it would look really good on you.”

“Really?”

“Yes. You have the perfect build for it. It won’t show off too much cleavage as it’s clear you’re

not comfortable with that, but it will hug you in all the right places.”

“I….uh….alright.”

“Good. Grab the black one.”

I nodded, and found the black one as Naomi suggested. I wasn’t sure what size I should get though. I

tended to get things a little bit looser.

“Um….Naomi, what size should I get?”

“Grab an extra small, small, and medium. We’ll have you try them on, and go from there.”

“Oh ok.”

“Chastity! Look what I found.” Gina trotted back up to us happily.

She found a couple of short sleeved plaid button downs. The kind I always liked to wear. I smiled, and

nodded.

“Ah. So a little country flare for you. I can work with that.” Naomi stated as she continued to look

through racks of tops.

“Is that what you would consider my style?” I asked.

“It would appear so. I would like to see you branch out a bit, but it is a very good start.”

“Branch out?”

“Something a little more professional, and classy.”

“Um….ok?”

“She also needs some things that are sexy. Especially for dates with Rowen.” Gina giggled.

“Don’t worry. We’ll get there.” Naomi stated with a chuckle.

“Please remember that right now I spend more time in scrubs for school than anything else.” I stated as

I looked at a dark blue top that had thin straps, but also short, flowy sleeves.

“That’s true, but there is nothing wrong with having clothes you feel good in when you’re not. in class.

Add that to the pile.” Naomi stated.

“Ok. Why does it have straps, and sleeves?” I asked.

“I’ll show you. I think we have a good start with tops. Lets look at shorts, and skirts now.” Naomi said

then led us over to the shorts section.

“Chastity, do you know what size waist you have?” Naomi asked as she reached a rack of long

skirts.

“Not really. When I buy pants, I usually just find a pair I like, grab a few sizes, try them on, and pick the

pair in size that doesn’t fall off of me. By the way, long skirts I tend to stay away from. They make me

look shorter than I already am.” I answered.

“Good call. I was actually looking for a skirt for me. Pete is taking me out this week to

celebrate our anniversary.”

“Aww. That’s sweet.”

“Yeah. We’ve come a long way. He has been going to my therapy sessions with me lately, and it’s really

helped mend our relationship.”

“Good. I’m glad.”

“Alright. I’ll be right back than we’ll get serious about bottoms for you. See if you find anything you like

while I’m gone.”

I nodded, and started to look at shorts. That was a little harder than I thought it would be. Most of them

seemed way too short for my taste. I found one or two pairs that I liked though. When Naomi came

back she had a measuring tape in hand. She had me take off my shoes, and stand with my arms out to

the sides. She proceeded to measure my waist, hips, and leg length.

“Perfect. I would say you’re in a size 2 or 3, and a 26″ inseam.” Naomi stated as she rolled up the tape

measure.

“Ok?” I responded.

“Trust me, it helps. Those shorts are all wrong though. Put them back.”

“But I like the length.”

“That length will take them to about your knees, and will not flatter you

“Oh. The rest seemed too short.”

at all.”

“Trust me. You won’t end up with any thing that will make you uncomfortable. I wouldn’t let that

happen.”

“Ok.”

“Chastity, come look at these skirts!” Gina called.

“No denim. Denim skirts don’t do you any favors.” Naomi stated as I moved over to Gina.

Gina showed me a pretty pastel skirt that had flowers on it. I added it to the stack of stuff, and

continued to look through them. After pulling a few, we decided I had enough and I was pushed into a

dressing room.

It took awhile, but thanks to Naomi, and Gina I left that store with several shirts, one being the dark

blue top that confused me. Naomi showed me the straps stay on my shoulders while the sleeves sit on

my upper arms. It was really cute so I had to get it. I also got one skirt, and 2 pairs of shorts. Naomi

had been right about the long shorts. They looked terrible on me. We spent several hours going to

different stores, and before I knew it I had a completely new wardrobe. The final stop was for bras, and

panties. This I knew my size in as Lexi had already helped me with this.

Some how Gina talked me into getting a few lacy pieces, with Naomi’s support. I can’t say I felt very

comfortable with them, but got them any way. Just because I had them didn’t mean I would ever wear

them. They were pretty though. By the time we were finished I was a little exhausted, but also very

hungry. We opted to stop at the pack diner. Once we were seated, Rachel of all people, came to take

our drink order.

“Oh. Naomi hi.” Rachel said excitedly.

“Um…hello.” Naomi responded looking confused.

“How are you?”

“I’m good. Not to be rude, but who are you?”

“I’m Rachel. Rowen’s girlfriend. Where is he today?”

“You mean ex girlfriend. He has a mate.”

“Oh………”

“Can we get our drinks please?” I asked firmly.

“Oh…uh….ye…yes sorry.” Rachel stuttered when she saw me.

After taking our orders, Rachel left quickly. I shook my head, and looked back at my menu. I looked up

when I heard Gina giggle.

“What?” I asked.

“She looked terrified when she saw you.” Gina said, still giggling.

“Oh. Yeah. The last time I was here with Rowen she was our waitress. She got a little rude, and it didn’t

end well for her.”

“Good for you.” Naomi stated.

“Um. Thanks. I think.”

“There is nothing wrong with putting a female that hits on your mate in her place.” Naomi said.

“Rowen said the same thing.”

“Good.”

Rachel brought our drinks back then took our food order. She was pretty short, and too the point.

Thankfully. I was in a good mood, plus it was my birthday. I didn’t need her ruining it.

“So, can one of you tell me what is happening the rest of the day?” I asked.

“Nope.” Gina stated.

“Sorry Chastity, but no.” Naomi said with a shake of her head.

“But….” I started.

“It’s a surprise, and we’re not going to ruin it.” Gina said giggling.

“Fine. Once we’ve eaten are we heading back home?” I asked.

“No. Once we’re done here we’re going to get shoes.” Naomi stated.

“Um. OK? Just know that I hate heels, and I spend most of my time in sneakers. I also really like my

boots.” I said.

“Don’t worry. There will be no heels. You do need a new pair of sneakers, from the look of it. Sandals

are a good thing to have in the summer. A few pair of dressy flats won’t hurt either.” Naomi said as she

looked over a list she had in her hand.

“You know that there are a bunch of pairs of shoes in the closet at Jax’s right?”

“Yes. I am aware. I am also aware that they may not fit you. I’ve had Jax return them all. We’re going to

start fresh.”

“I liked a few of those though.”

“We kept the ones that you have clearly worn. The rest went back months ago.”

“Oh. Ok.”

“Rowen did insist we take you to the boot store though. You’ll be able to get at least one new pair

Unfortunately you can’t always wear boots with every outfit. Some require something more dressy”

“Oh.”

“Don’t worry Chas, we know what we’re doing.” Gina said with a smile.

“Alright I’ll trust you.”

“Good.”

Once we finished eating, and paid, off to the boot store we went. It took Gina, and Naomi a bit to drag

me out of there. I did get two more pairs though. I ended up with 3 pairs of sneakers as well. One was

strictly for school, and the hospital once my residency began in the summer. The other two were for

walking around. The dress shoes were the hardest because Gina kept pulling more for me every time I

thought we were done. Finally I got 2 pairs of sandals.

By the time we finished I couldn’t believe I ended up with so much stuff. I really wasn’t sure just how I

much bought, or how much was spent. Gina, and Naomi wouldn’t let me see the receipts either. I did

get upset when I found out from Gina, by mistake, that Rowen had been paying for all of it. I had

distinctly remembered giving my card to Naomi in the first store to pay for the things she insisted I

needed.

I hadn’t wanted to see what I was spending so I gave my card to Naomi, and told her just to give the

receipts to my dad for me. I knew that it was my money, that I could do what I wanted with, but I liked

having my dad keep track of it for me. He was better at it than I was.

As we were heading back to the house I was thankful we opted to have everything sent to the house

for us instead of trying to carry all of those bags. We wouldn’t have been able to. I still couldn’t believe

we bought so much stuff. Honestly I wasn’t even completely sure what all was purchased. I would have

to go through all of it to see. I needed to sort it any way because some had to go to school with me.

“Chastity, I’m supposed to tell you to go right upstairs to Rowen’s, shower, and put on the outfit sitting

on his bed. You need to be out back by 4:00.” Naomi stated as we walked into the

house.

“Um. OK? Why?” I questioned.

“That I won’t answer. I will tell you that Lexi will be there at 3:30 to do your hair.”

“Alright.”

I thanked Gina, and Naomi for joining me for the day. I had a lot of fun with them. It was nice to really

get to know Naomi, as well as see her in her element. She hadn’t been kidding when she said she was

good at putting outfits together. She was great with clothes in general.

When I reached Rowen’s, I checked out the outfit he picked for me. It was a really nice, dark purple

sundress with a white, cap sleeve cover up. He did well. I was impressed. I giggled when I saw the

boots he got me for Valentine’s Day sitting out as well. After I showered, and dressed I found Lexi

sitting in the living room waiting for me.

“Hey small fry. You look very pretty.” Lexi said as I sat down in the chair indicated.

“Thanks. What time did you all get here?” I asked.

“Around 9:30. Did you enjoy shopping?”

“I did.”

“I’m glad.”

“Can you tell me what’s happening today?”

“Nope.

“But…..”

“Chastity, it’s a surprise.”

“Fine.”

Lexi giggled at my pout. We chatted as she did my hair. She decided to do two small braids at my

temples that connected at the back of my head. Small curls also framed my face. It was simple, but

cute. I always loved when she did my hair like this.
