Chapter 31: A Nauseating Night
The rest of the day was more of the same. Felix was stared at by everyone and was incredibly comfortable with this and frankly used to it. I was more used to being invisible and mostly hid behind Felix. Teachers were thrilled to have one of the Alphas grace their classrooms.
At lunchtime, everyone surrounded us, listening intently to Felix talk about anything and everything. They hung off his every word and tried to extra friendly with me. The four football players who had come to my rescue that day came over to say hello. Felix seemed to know about them helping me. Of course, Calix must have told him. They all bounced knuckles with Felix and talked about plays and strategies when it came to football. Felix, Alex and Calix had been the star players back when they were students here which was only about three years ago. Eventually we surrounded by the entire football team and the cheerleaders as Felix recounted how he and his brothers had been instrumental in winning the championship game. Everyone gasped and cheered during his tale. I ate quietly and kept my eyes downcast on my food. Felix nudged me.
“What’s wrong, Baby?” He murmured in my ear.
“Nothing,” I mumbled, smiling halfheartedly at him.
Felix frowned.
He had not done anything wrong, per say, but it was difficult feeling like the only thing that suddenly made me worthy was being mated to the triplets. Almost no one, including the triplets, had treated me like a person before I had been mated to the three beloved Alphas. Felix and I were invited to some house party by the head cheerleader, Moxie. I had no intention of going.
“You’re not going to this party without proper supervision, ok?” Said Felix sternly.
“I’m not going at all!”I protested.
Felix stopped in his tracks on the way to the parking lot. “Why not?”
He looked concerned. “Why don’t you want to go?” Asked Felix, his eyes wide. “If you want to go, one of us will take you, whoever’s shift it is will take you, ok?”
I shook my head furiously. “I hate parties!”I exclaimed.
Felix looked at me like I was insane.
“Why?!” Demanded Felix incredulously.
“Because, I hate dancing and crowds so naturally I don’t like something that combines those two,”||
said simply.
Felix smirked. “Chasity, you’re in high school! You should try to enjoy it. Make some happy memories, “said Felix encouragingly.
“Ok, sure, good talk,” I said dismissively, Felix frowned,
We had reached the car. Alex was here to pick us up with Calix in the passenger seat. Felix opened the
door for me and then he got in.
“How’d it go?” Asked Alex as though he’d been worried.
“Perfectly!” Purred Felix. Alex rolled his eyes but smiled, clearly relieved.
“No more bullies?” Said Calix, looking at me, his eyes questioning me.
“No more bullies,” I replied, smiling.
“None, whatsoever,” added Felix. “In fact, our little Princess Chasity here is loving school and her new
friends so much she wants to hang out with them tonight at a party they’re throwing!”
Ugh! “No, I do not!” I said immediately.
“A party sounds like fun!” Calix said brightly. “Why don’t we all go?” “A high school party?” Asked Alex twisting his mouth in disdain.
“Nah, I know the girl who’s throwing it. Her sister is in college. It’s a joint thing with high school seniors and college kids,” explained Felix.
“That sounds cool,” Alex said, smiling a little.
“I don’t wanna go,” I wailed.
“Why not, Luna?” Asked Alex. “I just don’t,” I grumbled.
“Please, Goddess, let’s go have some fun!” Whined Calix. “Come on, Baby!”Felix insisted. Why were they so hell bent on me going to this stupid party?
“Chasity, my Luna, you don’t know many of the pack members very well, old and young alike,” said Alex gently.
“I know you’re shy, Baby, and we’re sorry if we’re part of the reason you’ve always been in your little shell,” added Felix.
“But this is a good opportunity to at least get to know some of the pack members in your age group,”
continued Calix.
“A Luna is what holds a pack together. She’s a mother to the entire pack and the Alpha is the father figure,” said Alex.
“Most Lunas try to learn the names and basic info about each member to keep a check on them, see
who needs what. You can’t help your children if you don’t know what their issues are,” said Felix.
