“You thinking about the times I hid you?” I asked as there had been several.
She finally looked at me. “Yeah, the time on Christmas when I was thirteen and you guys were sixteen. Felix…put me out in the snow for oversleeping and not making breakfast. Alex was angry too. He agreed with that punishment.”
I sighed. I remembered that day so vividly. I mind-linked my brothers to let them know what had triggered Chasity’s panic attack specifically.
Alex
Calix’s voice resounded in my head. Chasity was upset over the time she had spent Christmas out in the cold which had been partially my fault.
“Chasity got freaked out because she remembered that time she got put out of the house on Christmas Day,” I said to Felix, the guilt eating me up.
Felix’s eyes were downcast.
“I want to take that back. I want to take everything back,” he said quietly.
Mom rolled her eyes. All she seemed to care about was the delay in gift opening. I resisted the urge to argue with her. I needed to focus on what I would say to Chasity. The memories flashed through my mind. I put my head in my hands.
“You ok, Son?” Asked Dad.
I nodded. I was not okay but I would be soon. I was going to profess my love for Chasity. Even if she hated me, she deserved to know how I felt about her. I got up.
“Where are you going?” Asked Felix.
“To get my Luna,” I said simply.
Felix smirked and followed me.
Felix
There were no words to sufficiently describe how guilty I felt. I felt like the scum of the earth, the lowest of the low. Chasity was so sweet and special and f**king gorgeous. She deserved so much better. She had always deserved so much better. Now that Calix had revealed the reason for her outburst, I could not get the memory out of my head. I could scarcely believe I had acted like that. I followed Alex as he headed towards Chasity’s room. We had some wooing to do.
Christmas Past
Alex
“Look at me when I’m talking to you!” I commanded.
Chasity always failed to meet my eyes unless I explicitly asked her to do so and that frustrated the hell out of me. Why could she not just look at me? Why was she always ignoring me? Every other teenaged girl in this pack had eyes for me besides thirteen-year old little Miss Chasity. I grumbled inwardly. She was too young for me anyway. I was sixteen.
Chasity had overslept on Christmas morning of all days. The only day we all rose early. Her eyes looked red and her eyelids looked puffy like she had been crying. I felt a pang of guilt. She seemed so delicate. My wolf was protective over her. I had begun to feel his presence more and more as I got closer to my eighteenth birthday. For some reason, my wolf had this obsession with Chasity. I was intrigued by her too but I did not want to admit it. She disliked me anyway so it did not make a difference how I felt.
Felix
“Are you even listening to us?” I asked, grabbing Chasity’s hand.
I had not been prepared for the strange calm that fell over me when our skin touched. That was weird. It was hard to remain angry around her.
My brothers and I had just finished opening our gifts and breakfast still wasn’t ready. That was Chasity’s job! I heard a vicious snarl in my mind. My wolf made my head throb. I was shocked at the power he had over me though I had not officially shifted yet.
“What’s the point of you being here if you’re not going to work off your debts?” Asked Mom. “It’s almost noon and no breakfast!” She said, rolling her eyes.
She went into the kitchen to “make” breakfast herself. Mom’s idea of making breakfast was pouring dry cereal into a bowl and giving us all a glass of instant hot chocolate mix.
My wolf was driving me crazy. He was snapping and snarling within, furious at the whole household except Chasity. I wanted to piss him off. I was tired of his bullshit. Ever since he made his presence known I had not had a moment of peace. He would get upset every time Chasity was upset and she was almost always upset.
I pulled her to the front door. I walked her outside. She began to scream as she tried to yank her arm out of my grasp. What was her problem? I was not squeezing her or being rough or anything. I knew she was pretty delicate. She was much smaller than I was so I wasn’t pulling her with much force.
“Ugh, I’m not going to do anything to you. I’m just putting you out of the house! If you’re not gonna earn your keep then maybe you’d rather be out here,” I snapped.
I let go of her hand and marched back inside, shutting the door behind me. The guilt was a bit overwhelming. I ran upstairs and just lay down in the dark. My temples were throbbing. I told myself Chasity would be fine over and over again. I took my phone and set an alarm so I could check on her periodically. I could not just leave her out there all day but I wasn’t going to tell her that.
Alex
Felix had put Chasity out of the house. I felt my wolf panic. I was worried too. What if she ran away? I went to the window and peeked out at her. She was hugging herself for warmth. She caught me looking at her so I quickly shut the window. I knocked on Felix’s door.
“What?!” He yelled.
“It’s Alex,” I said.
He opened the door for me. He did not look so good.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
He shrugged. I could tell he was lying. Even if it was not an outright lie, he was probably lying by omission.
“You feeling guilty about Chasity?” I asked.
He sighed.
“I’ll go get her just now,” he said.
“She’s tiny. Don’t leave her in the cold too long,” I said.
“You think I’m an asshole, don’t you?” Asked Felix, his tone accusatory.
“No,” I grumbled. “How long are you gonna leave her out there?” I asked, not sure how much longer I could stomach.
My wolf and I were both starting to freak out.
“An hour?” Asked Felix.
I looked at him like he was crazy.
“It’s already been fifteen minutes so only forty-five more minutes,” he said.
He was blatantly lying unless he really had not checked the time. It had only been three minutes. Three agonising minutes for me and my wolf. Mom had put together some sandwiches and cereal but we had opted to eat it upstairs in our rooms. I could not eat though. I felt sick.
“I’ll go check on her in a half-hour,” offered Felix.
I shrugged. I went to my bedroom window and looked at Chasity. She was leaning against the far wall at the side of the house. I stayed there and kept an eye on her, anxiously checking the time every minute. I swore time was moving backwards. That’s how slow the time was passing by. I gasped as I spotted Calix going out to her.
Calix
“There you are!” I exclaimed as massive relief washed over me.
I had been so worried about her. Alex and Felt had put her out of the pack house earlier for not making Christmas Morning Breakfast on time. My parents should hire a cook and a housekeeper. I sighed. Poor Chasity. I was not going to let my brothers take advantage of her vulnerability but at the same time, I was not Alpha yet so I could not challenge my parents. Chasity flinched at the sound of my voice. I winced at how she cowered in my presence. Her eyes and cheeks were red. She had been crying and freezing her little tail-feathers off. I was outraged.
“Look, hurry up, my brothers are napping after lunch. Go to your room and lock the door,” I instructed.
After Mom and Felix had made a big deal about Christmas Breakfast being late, Mom had whipped up something for “brunch.” Her idea of cooking, however, was pouring cereal into a bowl or putting a slice of cheese and a slice of deli meat bet**en two slices of bread. Cereal and sandwiches. Take it or leave it. My brothers had taken some of the food up to their rooms. My brothers usually went into hibernation after a heavy meal like Christmas Brunch but after a sandwich and half a bowl of dry cereal, they were probably wide awake in their rooms. I escorted Chasity to her little room to be sure she was secure. I waved my hands in the air to signal that Chasity should make a run for it. She obeyed and spent the rest of Christmas Day in her room, all alone.
Present Day
Alex
I took a deep breath to steady myself for this one. My hand was shaking as as I raised my fist to the door. I knocked. Silence. Felix broke the silence.
“Baby, you can put on a dominatrix outfit and spank the shit out of me just don’t ignore me,” yelled Felix, hoping Chasity was listening.
We could smell her beautiful floral scent. We could smell Calix with her. No answer came from the room. There was so much I wanted to say to her. I supposed there was no time like the present.
“Chasity, I’m sorry, I love you, I’m in love with you, and I’ve never felt that way about any girl,” I said honestly.
This was practically my thirty-first relationship but only my first love. Perhaps, that made me a terrible person but I could not change the past, I could only atone for it.
