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!” | 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
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.
