Chapter 9: Good Morning Chasity Alex
I was afraid to wake up without Chasity in my arms. The events of the previous day had seemed too good to be true. I had finally admitted it to myself that I had always hoped my Luna would be Chasity. I hoped it had not been a dream as my body stiffened. It was early, much too early to wake up on a Saturday. I realised immediately why I had woken me up. Chasity! She was here in bed with me, trying to wriggle away. The lack of her smell and warmth as she pulled away woke me. My instinct was to grasp her waist and pull her back against me, spooning her again. What if she just had to use the bathroom or something? I didn’t want to be a controlling boyfriend. Felix and Calix already found me bossy. I didn’t want Chasity thinking that too. I groaned as I gripped her waist and pulled her back into my embrace.
“What’re you doing? Do you have to use the bathroom or something?” I asked, still half-asleep.
She turned to look at me with those big brown doe eyes. She usually looked at me with reproach, fear, annoyance or defiance. This was different. Soft and sweet. She was looking at me the way I looked at her, like she was attracted to me, drawn to me. My wolf was elated and so was I.
“This is the time I usually wake up,” she said softly, not giving me the sassy attitude I had been expecting. “I have to make you guys’ breakfast,” she added.
Anger sprang up within me and my wolf. This maid work. It was disgusting: having an unfortunate orphan cook and clean like some servant and completely for free too. She was mine now. There would be no free labour in this house. There would be no labour period when it came to my Luna Chasity.
Calix
The sound of Chasity’s voice woke me up. She claimed she had to make breakfast. It was so early. She did not have to do any housework ever again and there was no need to be up at the crack of dawn. My brothers and I were not early risers.
I laughed and yawned. “We wake up at like noon, don’t we?” I said. “Yeah, but your parents wake up at seven,” said Chasity.
“They’ll fend for themselves, don’t worry,” said Alex, his arms encircling Chasity while she continued to spoon me. I was so warm and comfortable. Her scent was on the pillows, the sheets, my skin. I breathed
it in as I relaxed into her embrace.
Suddenly the warmth of my Goddess was snatched from me. I glanced back at the culprit. Felix had woken up and has grasped Chasity’s waist pulling her over to his side of the bed.
“Hey!”I protested.
I had so much sleep to catch up on and I needed my Goddess Chasity to fall back to sleep easily. I grumbled inwardly. I would snatch her back when Felix drifted off to sleep.
Felix
I heard the sound of Chasity’s angelic voice as I opened my eyes. So it hadn’t been a dream! Chasity was really my mate. My wolf was howling with delight. We immediately stole Chasity the moment Alex and Calix loosened their grip on her. I put her to lay on my chest.
Literally nothing had happened last night. No kissing. No caressing. No confessing our love for each other. I was thrilled to have Chasity as my mate but this definitely complicated things. She had a history with us, a negative one at that, one we would have to overcome.
I had always assumed the first night after I found my mate would be filled with passion. I had thought
we would be so glad to find each other that we would be all over each other. I had expected a night of sweet surrender as I left finger prints and hickeys all over her.
It was not too late to make up for lost time. I slid my hand down her side until I found her behind. I cupped one of her cheeks and squeezed. Her heart was racing. The smell of her arousal filled the air. She was getting wet for me. She moaned. I growled playfully in her ear.
“What’re you doing, Felix?” Asked Alex suspiciously. “I’m bonding with my gorgeous mate,” I said matter-of-factly. My Baby flinched suddenly. I was probably grabbing her ass too hard. It wasn’t my fault she wasps “Sorry, Baby, am I squeezing you too hard?” I asked noticing her sudden movement. “You think I’m gorgeous?” Asked my Baby, Chasity. “You are,” I said honestly. “The other day you called me fat,” she said.
I stiffened. f**k. I wished I could smack the me from a few days who had said that. My wolf growled, reminding me that he had asked me to apologise as soon as I had said that. From the tense silence, I could tell that Calix and Alex were listening and judging me silently.
“And you took the last pancake. I literally ate nothing that day. I spent the whole day organising stuff for you guys,” said Chasity.
f**k. My stomach lurched. I cursed myself for being such an asshole. I would pay for it now.
“Shh, Baby, I’m so sorry,”1 whispered, pressing my lips to her forehead and tightening my arms around her. Her scent comforted me so much. Perhaps, mine could comfort her.
“Don’t touch me!” She screamed as she jumped out of the bed. Guess not. My brothers and I all sat up, startled. “Felix, you fucker, what did you do? She wasn’t scared before,” yelled Alex.
Ugh. This was all my fault. I hoped she wouldn’t leave us. I would follow her to the ends of the earth but I didn’t wanna play cat and mouse with Chasity, I wanted to play house.
“YES I WAS!” She screamed at the top of her lungs, making us all jump.
Our parents ran into the room. Mom probably thought the girlish scream had been Baby Boy Calix.
Chasity burst into tears, sobbing brokenly. My brothers and i instinctively rushed towards her to console her.
“NO!” Bellowed our father.
Old Alphas could still use their Alpha voice though we didn’t have to listen. Out of respect, we sat back down. I would console Chasity later. I wanted to apologise properly in private.
“What is she doing in here?” asked Dad in a hushed deadly tone. Alex spoke up. I had to admire how he was always willing to take responsibility. “I can’t sleep with her in that cleaning supplies room. I can’t stand it,” said Alex. Alex
I wasn’t about to apologise to my parents for bringing Chasity in here. They should apologise for putting her in that substandard room in the first place. I would apologise to Chasity later. I needed some alone time with her. I wished she would let me hold her.
“Then why did you not put her in a guest room?” Asked Dad.
Mom was quiet, standing in silent support behind Dad. Their united front had been unwavering since childhood even if they felt differently as individuals. I kept my eyes on Chasity. She was looking down a lot. She looked regretful know for having caused a commotion but I didn’t blame her. My Luna belonged in bed with me.
“Um,” I said lamely, not really trying to answer the questions properly anymore. Thankfully, Calix took over from me.
Calix
My heart broke for Chasity. I had known the transition would not be easy especially with Felix and Chasity. They had always had the most volatile relationship. Ugh, I had told Alex to keep Chasity between us at first. It was too much for her and Felix was too hasty.
“Look, Dad, everything was good, wasn’t it Chasity?” I asked gently, meeting her gaze. She looked into my eyes with some hesitation. She was fidgeting nervously. Chasity, are you ok? I asked privately. Yes well no…but I will be…soon, she mumbled back. “It’s my fault,” said Felix, his voice cracking a little.
