Chapter 6: Chasity Unmarked and Unmated Felix’s POV
We were late for our own birthday party and Alpha ceremony because we had spent so much time trying to agree on gifts for Chasity at the mall. We ended up with a s**t ton of presents but I still felt like it wasn’t enough, especially now that she couldn’t be given the car until we felt she was more attached to us. She would obviously just hit the road in the car if I gave it to her right away. We arrived at the Pack House and guests were already chatting and drinking champagne outside and inside. The whole Pack House had been decorated, even the exterior. Our birthday was on November eleventh so someone had strung lights up all over the house. It looked great even from a distance. We loaded the gifts out of the car. Guests eyed us curiously. We kept with the story that the gifts were our gifts to each other. Alex didn’t want
to reveal Chasity as our fated Luna until we located her at the party and had a proper conversation with her.
I was extremely nervous to talk to her. I didn’t want her to reject us. The pain of rejection was excruciating. I was trying really hard not to get my hopes up though in case they were crushed soon but I couldn’t stop myself and my wolf made it worse. We both kept picturing Chasity, beautiful as ever, in a party dress, walking right up to us at the party and gazing at us lovingly. We would hold her and slow dance with her, planting gentle kisses on her throughout the night. The rough kisses would come later when we were alone after the party. We would have our own little after party. I also wanted everyone to know she was mine and therefore off-limits. Alex was right though I hated to admit it. We couldn’t gush about Chasity to our guests like idiots and have her reject us publicly. That would make us all look stupid as f**k.
Alex’s POV
We were on the porch walking in with armfuls of presents. A pack member I didn’t recognise held the door open for us.
“Thanks, man!” I said. Felix nodded at him. Calix grinned at the guy.
There was music playing inside. Our parents had already decorated the place for Christmas in with white and ice blue and silver everywhere. I spotted Ronda. She broke into a smile. I smiled back but quickly went to the stairs. I didn’t want any setbacks. We needed to fi we were dressed and ready. It was harder for a girl to turn down a sharply dress man in my opinion.
Calix gave me a panicked look. I followed his eyes and realised Sandra, Tonya and Avery were here in party dresses, sulking. They spotted us. I felt guilty but I all but ran up the stairs. Calix and Felix followed me.
“Mind-link Beta Keaton to make sure they don’t hurt Chasity!” I said to Felix, starting to worry about her.
I doubted she knew how to fight and she shouldn’t have to. She was my responsibility now. My Luna. My Princess.
“They don’t know it’s Chasity yet, remember?” Protested Felix. “Oh yeah,” I said.
I was a little out of it. Calix was the most sleep-depraved and yet he seemed energetic and cheerful.
Calix’s POV
I was moments away from holding Chasity and telling her all the things I needed to say to her. She was so beautiful and special to me. I couldn’t wait to show her off to everyone at the party. I had never showered so fast in my life. I put on the same outfit my brothers would be wearing. We had agreed upon black blazers, black trousers and baby blue shirts. Mom always liked for us to dress alike at things like this so I always encouraged the guys to do it. They usually obliged me. I went straight to Chasity’s room once was dress, smoothing my hair anxiously. I knocked on her door while taking deep breath. What was I gonna say? I love you, Chasity, marry me! Wait, no! That’s crazy! She’ll freak out. She didn’t open the door. I knocked again.
“Chasity,” I murmured, listening with my ear against the door. I didn’t hear or smell her. I opened the door. She wasn’t there. My face fell.
“She’s not in her room,” I said anxiously as my brothers came up to me. “Of course, not,” said Felix. “Mom and Dad are making her help with the party”
Ugh! Those days were over! I should’ve put a stop to that this morning but I had had so many other things on my mind.
“Ok, before we do anything else, we need to have a serious conversation with Chasity,” said Alex. Felix and I nodded.
We made our way downstairs. Everyone wanted to talk to us. Various pack members wished us a happy birthday and gushed about what good alphas we would make. I grinned and talked to them, outwardly calm but dying inside. Where was my Goddess? I smelt her before I saw her. We were over by Mom and Dad. Mom hugged us all and Dad clapped each of us on the back.
“We need champagne,” murmured my Mom. “Where is that girl with the champagne?” “Ronda?” I asked. “No, Charity!” She said.
My wolf was pissed but I kept a smile on my face. I couldn’t breathe a word about Chasity until she agreed to give us a chance.
Her honeysuckle and roses smell was everywhere, filling the room, and it was driving me and my wolf crazy. I could see my brothers squirming a little too. The smell intensified. I looked around and I forgot how to breathe for a second. Chasity was standing there with a tray of champagne. She looked gorgeous. Her hair was in loose glossy dark golden curls like always. Her golden skin gleamed. Her big brown eyes regarded my parents apprehensively as she offered them the champagne. She was in a tiny sparkly black dress that fit her just right.
Mom looked annoyed with Chasity for literally no reason. That was something else I had to fix. My mother’s impatience with Chasity. Dad took a champagne glass and nodded at her. Chasity turned to us next and she seemed startled. She looked at us, trailing her eyes over the three of us and biting her lip. She was clearly physically attracted to us but that might not translate into a proper relationship. I could not take my eyes off of her. I could not speak either. She held out the platter of champagne glasses, offering them to us.
