Oh, ok, Honey, we can discuss it later, she said.
There’s really nothing to discuss. Just a week or two of fun in the sun with Chasity and my brothers. No big deal, I said, hoping she would drop it.
“I don’t think Calix has ever been away from me for that long,” said Mom.
“A week?” Asked Felix dryly.
Mom scowled.
“We went to Summer Swim Camp that one time,” I reminded her.
“That was six weeks,” said Alex, nodding.
“You came home after three weeks because Calix was home-sick. I had to cut my vacation with your mother short,” grumbled Dad.
“We were thirteen,” said Felix pointedly.
“We’re twenty-one now. I guarantee we won’t come back early,” grinned Alex.
Mom frowned.
“You and Dad can plan a lovely vacay too,” I suggested.
Dad grinned.
“We can go too!” Said Mom. “All six of us!”
Chasity’s face fell. My wolf gripped me.
“NO!” We said, making Mom jump.
“I mean,” I said, calming my wolf. “You and Dad should go somewhere else so both trips can be romantic and we won’t step on each other’s toes.”
Chasity looked relieved. I pulled her into my lap.
“Alex and Felix are lucky they’re coming. I almost made it a two-person trip,” I said, winking at Chasity who giggled. “I already had to make it a four people trip and that’s that. I would love to organise a nice trip for you and Dad some place you’ve never been maybe,” I offered.
Dad opened his mouth but Mom cut across him.
“No, that’s ok. We’ll wait right here for you to come back,” said Mom somewhat ominously.
I held Chasity tightly. Sometimes, I thought about moving out with Chasity, Alex and Felix, or asking Mom and Dad to move out but I wanted to secure my relationship with Chasity first without wrecking my relationship with Mom.
“Mom, be happy for us, please,” I said bluntly.
“I am!” She said excitedly.
“Ok,” I said, nodding.
Chasity was in her own little world, daydreaming. I stole another k**s. She k**sed me back.
“Mmmm, I’m gonna make this trip really romantic for you, Baby,” I whispered against her l*ps.
“We all will,” said Alex, grinning.
“It’ll be really hot and you’ll be sweating a lot, but it won’t be because of the weather,” said Felix cheekily.
Chasity blushed and hid her face in my ch*st.
“I wanna take Chasity bikini shopping the day after Boxing Day,” Felix said.
Chasity peeped out at him.
“We’ll all go with you to help you pick out some swimsuits,” said Alex, with a wink.
“Or we could just skinny-dip the whole trip,” I suggested, waggling my eyebrows.
Chasity giggled.
“So f**king cute,” growled Felix.
We kinda pounced on Chasity after that and thankfully, Mom and Dad left the room.
Calix
My elder brother Felix thought he was Chasity’s first k**s. Nope. Not technically. Technically, I was.
Past New Year’s Eve
Calix
I loved New Year’s Eve almost as much as I loved Christmas. I was seventeen and this NYE, my girlfriend, Junie, was eager to ring in the New Year’s with a Good Luck k**s at midnight. Junie had pursued me relentlessly. She was a cheerleader. She was on the debate team. She was on the dance committee and in the honour society. She was ambitious and she was aggressive when it came to getting what she wanted. To be honest, she reminded me of my Mom a little. Sometimes, that creeped me out. Mom loved Junie.
“Maybe, she’s your mate. You’ll know in a year when you come of age. How great would that be?” Mom had asked.
As if Junie and I would last a whole year. Frankly-speaking, Junie was kind of insensitive. She was also so insanely jealous. She was jealous of almost every other member of the cheerleader squad for one reason or another. Avril was a “stuck-up know-it-all” for getting better grades than Junie. Sicily was a “bossy bitch” when she made captain and Junie was second in command. Amanda was “immature and manly” for bench-p**ssing more than Junie at gym and t**sing her about it.
“Mom, please, Calix is on a roll here. He’s trying to date the whole calendar!” Felix had said. “April, May, Junie. When July or Julia comes knocking, Junie is done for!”
It was true. I had exes named April and May but I had dated May before April and then Junie. It was a coincidence and Junie was short for Juniper. It was just a nickname. Felix was one to talk. He changed girlfriends faster than me. He had a new “main sq***ze” every six weeks. Some of my relationsh*ps lasted three months. Alex’s relationsh*ps ended around the two month mark. There was not a lot of incentive to get serious with a girl who might not be our mate. How awful would it be to be in years-long relationsh*ps and have to end them when our fated mate came along. For that reason, I wasn’t hard on my brothers or myself when it came to our inability to commit (for right now).
Back to the party: Mom was in her glee, greeting guests and ordering the servers about. Chasity was one of the servers. Mom had lent her a pretty dress. It shimmered with every move she made. Chasity caught me staring at her and I did not look away. Junie was hanging off of my arm. Chasity disappeared after a while. Where had she gone? I wandered up the stairs. I heard my Mom’s voice.
“Where is that girl?” Snapped Mom.
Chasity quickly appeared. She had been in her tiny bedroom. I wished they would give her a better place to sleep. I wondered about Mom sometimes. She was great to me but she had this…this mean-streak where Chasity was concerned. Why? Where did it come from?
Mom glared at Chasity. I could not help but admire the way Chasity’s dark gold ringlets shone and bounced every time she turned her head.
“You know you’re supposed to be helping downstairs,” said Mom sternly.
Felix and Alex came out of nowhere, almost as if they’d been looking for Chasity too.
“I heard the housekeeper send her on a break,” said Felix, actually defending Chasity.
I was pleasantly surprised. I was usually the only one who defended her.
“She didn’t just run off like usual,” Felix added.
I groaned. He just had to add an offhanded comment. Alex was staring at Chasity a lot less discreetly than I was.
“I like this colour,” said Alex, smiling at Chasity.
“Yeah, me too,” said Felix, gently extending a hand and trailing his fi**gertips along the material. Chasity backed away from him. He sneered at her.
Something came over me suddenly. I wanted to get Chasity away from my Mom, and Felix and even Alex. I felt her discomfort like it were my own. I walked over to them.
“Chasity, I have work for you to do,” I lied.
Mom, Felix and Alex looked shocked but they did not protest. I motioned for Chasity to follow me. It was about four minutes to midnight. I took Chasity to the back porch, the one that faced the frozen river. I could see it in the distance. We had a huge backyard with a river with an ice-fishing hole. I tried not to think of the horrid memory surrounding that hole in the ice. It was winter six months a year here in the north of wolf country. We had two months each of spring, summer and autumn. Autumn was too cold for swimming. The water’s surface was not frozen out back in fall but the water was very cold. It still felt like daggers if you fell in. Our autumn was much colder than autumn in other regions. Spring and summer were the only times one could actually go swimming but Chasity avoided the backyard like a plague. My brothers and I had not felt the same about it since the incident either. No one really swam out there anymore, not even Mom and Dad. Our girlfriends were always trying to convince my brothers and me to take them swimming out back. We always refused and we kept quiet about why. Only six people alive knew the real reason.
I looked at Chasity. She looked more beautiful than ever with the moonlight shining on her. She shivered and hugged herself.
“Here,” I said, placing my blazer around her shoulders.
