As soon as Chasity was gone, I launched right into the discussion.
“Mom! What more do you really want from Chasity and the three of us?!” I demanded to know.
Mom folded her arms and sniffed.
“I want honesty,” she said finally. “Chasity’s honesty!”
“She honestly wants us,” said Calix with a shrug. “Do you really not believe that?” Asked Calix incredulously.
Mom scoffed at us.
“Are my three boys really this naive?! She’s using you! She’ll drop you as soon as she graduates high school! That’s the whole point! She wants to finish school in relative peace and comfort,” said Mom.
“I wouldn’t call the environment you’ve created here for Chasity peaceful or comforting,” I said bluntly.
“Because that environment was supposed to be temporary!” Hissed Mom.
“That was then! This is now!” Said Alex with a tone of finality.
Mom was speaking of the original arrangement: Chasity staying at the pack house until she payed off her debt which would have been roughly at the age of eighteen and a half had she kept working. However, that was before we knew she was ours.
“Our Luna is bound to us for eternity!” Said Alex sternly.
“An eternity of regret if she leaves,” mumbled Mom, shrugging.
“She’s not going to leave,” said Calix, getting frustrated.
Mom laughed humourlessly.
“So basically you’re never gonna give her a chance, Mom?” I asked, annoyed.
“She lives in this house, doesn’t she?” Said Mom.
“But she has always lived in this house,” I said pointedly.
“All I am saying is I can’t believe you would all mindlessly let her mark you. Think of the pain you’ll be in when she leaves the minute high school is over. It was bad enough you marked her. Oh and proposed! I was under the imp**ssion that ring was for the future…” complained Mom, her voice cracking as she was seemingly close to tears.
“Calm down, Ronnie, come on,” said Dad gently, pulling Mom into his arms.
“Mom, mom,” said Calix softly, grabbing her hand and giving it a gentle sq***ze.
“It’s ok. You have to believe just a little bit when we say that Chasity won’t leave us. She loves us,” insisted Calix.
“She needs us,” added Alex.
“Especially me,” I decided to add, trying to lighten the mood.
“FELIX!” screamed Chasity suddenly, her scream piercing through the night and my heart.
My stomach dropped. My Baby was in trouble and she needed me.
Chapter 53: Chasity’s Close Call
Hey by popular demand I’m letting you know that chapter 52 and 53 are the triplet version of Chasity’s Chapter 28 Close Call. Not every chapter matches another exactly due to overlap among other things. I’m gonna try to put together a list and post it here.
Felix
My reaction was instinctive. Before I even realised what I was doing, I rushed to her. She was standing just outside her room downstairs. The fear was evident in her exp**ssion. I smelled the strong chemical scent immediately. Chloroform! Someone was trying to f**king kidnap my Luna!
I heard Chasity’s sigh of relief upon seeing me. I rushed right into her room and saw the fiend. He had just broken in through her window and he was holding the chloroform soaked rag. My wolf roared in my mind.
“A kidnapper,” I heard Chasity cry as Alex arrived just a second after me, immediately picking Chasity up and keeping her in the hallway.
My hands grasped the throat of the intruder. I held him up, his feet dangling a few inches above the ground. Somewhere amidst all my rage I remembered how Chasity had tried to make a deal with me to spare that piece of shit Parker. This piece of shit could not be spared but Chasity could be spared the sight and sound of his demise. Calix rushed into the room at that moment and we exchanged a split-second glance during which an understanding passed bet**en us. Calix nodded, meaning: yes, kill this one! Alex, cover Chasity’s eyes, I said.
And her ears, added Calix.
Ok, go ahead, said Alex, also in agreement with the death sentence for this one.
I snapped his neck, a much quicker and easier death than he deserved. I let his body hit the floor. Calix slid his ski mask off. He was no one I recognised, no arch nemesis or old friend. I looked at Calix, wondering if he knew the man but Calix shook his head. I went to the window that asshole had pried open and glanced outside. There was no getaway vehicle in sight. How exactly was he planning on kidnapping Chasity? Was he a kidnapper or was he an assassin, a hit man? The second option made my blood boil. Was he just an obsessive pervert, a peeping Tom? I shut the window and locked it. Calix was taking a photograph of the man’s face with his phone.
Alex, switch with me, please? You’re much better at this part than I am! Pleaded Calix, s**king up to our elder brother.
Calix hated being part of the cleanup crew. He liked the action.
Yeah, sure, come watch Chasity! Instructed Alex. We’ll have to be joined at the hip from now on, guys! She eats, sleeps, breathes and pees with us. No closed doors bet**en us at any time until we get to the bottom of this.
Calix and I agreed wordlessly with Alex’s new system. We could not let minx out of our sight until this was solved. It was for her own good. I was wondering if I should have tortured the truth out of this guy before I offed him. Calix left and Alex came in.
Alex
My heart almost stopped when Chasity screamed like that. A few moments later, I was holding her tightly. She buried her face in my ch*st. I covered her ears when it was time for Felix to do away with the intruder. I did not want my little Luna to be traumatised by witnessing a kill. I stroked her hair, trying to soothe her afterwards. She was trembling in my arms. I k**sed the top of her head. Calix entered the hallway. He wanted to exchange places with me to avoid the disposing of the dead body. That was fine with me.
“Who is it?” I asked the moment I saw him.
“I have no idea. Don’t recognise him. Did you?” Asked Calix, looking at Chasity who was peeking up at him from the safety of my arms.
She shook her head. I left my Luna in Calix’s care. The guy was lying on the ground near the window when I walked in, a ski mask on the floor by his head. He was pale and had dark circles under his cold grey eyes. He had a mop of dark hair and a tall, strong build though not quite the size of an Alpha.
“You know him?” Asked Felix.
I shook my head.
“Search his pockets,” I instructed.
We found his wallet. There was cash in there but no cards.
“No ID. No credit. No debit. Just cash. He came here prepared to fail just in case,” I mumbled. “He’s working for someone.”
Felix sighed. That meant this wasn’t over and that was the opposite of what we were hoping.
“It’d be a lot easier if he were some random creep with a fixation on our Luna,” muttered Felix as we rolled the body up in a bedsheet. “Then, he would have been working alone.”
“I know,” I said softly.
“Should we have kept him alive and…” began Felix.
“Ugh,” I said instantly.
I hated trying to torture the truth out of someone. It almost never worked anyway. There was no way of confirming the truth in the moment. The person could “reveal” anything as the truth and I didn’t want a witch hunt in case he named a bunch of innocents just to seem useful.
I kept my voice low. I was not sure if my Luna was listening at the door. I did not want her to be scared.
“I’m glad he’s dead. It’s better this way. They’ll know their man is dead when he doesn’t return and the next guy they send will be much more reluctant. If they send a second guy, that one will talk and readily,” I explained. “He’ll know his team doesn’t care about him. He’ll be easy to fl*p.”
“We should have snapped this one’s neck in a different room,” grumbled Felix. “This is Chasity’s room.”
“Yeah,” I agreed, looking around at all her pretty, girly things.
f**k. Now her dream room housed a dead body.
“Well, she’ll be sleeping upstairs with us indefinitely anyway,” I said with a shrug. “She’s banned from this room,” I pronounced.
“You gonna tell her that?” Asked Felix incredulously.
“I was hoping you would,” I said honestly.
We looked at each other.
“Calix,” we both said in unison.
Calix
I held Chasity close to me, massaging small circles on her back, trying to calm her down. My parents came into the hallway. My eyes immediately went to my mother to gauge her reaction to all of this. Her exp**ssion was unfathomable. Dad looked mildly concerned which was not unusual for him. As an Alpha, he never showed fear or even too much worry or concern. He said it was bad for the morale of the pack.
“You all right, Chasity?” He asked.
Chasity just nodded wordlessly.
“Call the Calvary?” Said Dad, his go-to exp**ssion in these times.
I did not answer at first. That was usually an instruction to someone. I realised now it was a question to me. He was actually deferring to me as the current Alpha. He must have been truly imp**ssed earlier.
“Send them in,” I confirmed.
Wolves are known for their speed. Werewolves are known for their super-speed. Less than five minutes later, the house was filled with people: squads of warriors and their squad leaders, the pack police, a group of pack doctors to check on Chasity, our Gamma and our Beta of course.
My brothers carried the body out themselves. That was how seriously they were taking this. They did not even want it to exchange hands too many times in case someone was a traitor. If the kidnapper had an insider among us, that person could steal the body to prevent us from finding too many clues or simply to give the kidnapper a proper burial. I knew Felix would want to toss the guy in an unmarked grave in the most inaccessible frigid place as his final revenge. It was his thing. It sent a powerful message. If someone messed with Winter Moon, they never returned in any form, dead or alive. Even their remains were lost, scattered in the wind or buried in an unmarked grave on a frozen mountain peak.
I made sure to bundle Chasity up in my jacket when the body was being removed from the house. She kept her little face buried in my ch*st so I doubted she even knew when the body passed right by us in the hallway. Felix gave me a “don’t let her see this” look. Alex gave me a “good job keep her calm” look. I breathed a sigh of relief when the body was out of the house and handed over to our most trusted squad leader in conjunction with the pack police. The squad leaders and warriors were here to beef up security while the pack police were here to solve the case. The guys were accustomed working together. They greeted each other with brief one-armed hugs and claps on the back.
The most senior detective in the pack police was placed on this case but I knew Felix would want to hire a private investigator too. He always said “money talks.”
Alex and Felix were back with me and Chasity while the pack police looked at Chasity’s room and the window which was the place of entry. The flash and cl**k of the camera they had was so bright and loud respectively. Chasity kept flinching with every flash and cl**k. Felix k**sed her forehead and Alex played with her hair. I kept my arms around her, afraid to let go. Mom did not even say anything in person to me. I glared at her pointedly and she just looked away.
