Felix

We got back to our room and all sat on the bed. Alex had his to-do-list face on: placate Chasity, check. Calix had his biggest puppy-dog eyes on display. Those two had dragged me into this dishonest mess unwittingly. I wanted to make one thing clear.

“I’m angry too, you know,” I said, not looking at anyone in particular.

I faced my brothers. I took a deep breath. I could not believe them. The audacity.

“Since when do we keep secrets from each other?” I asked, glaring at them.

Alex and Calix looked at me, their guilt leaking into their expressions. They exchanged a glance. What? Were they mind-linking without me now too?

You better not be mind-linking behind my back! Or in front of my face or whatever! You know what I mean! I snapped.

“I’m sorry, Felix,” said Alex out-loud, his jaw set.

He seemed genuine.

“Sorry, Felix,” mumbled Calix, looking at the floor.

I softened a little but I was still livid. My Baby was quiet.

“We thought you’d blab to Chasity!” Calix confessed.

“Yeah, except you blabbed to Chasity,” Alex pointed out.

Ha!

“I deserve to know,” said Chasity softly but firmly.

She was getting more assertive and I was glad about that but this was one of those things she should not even have to ask of us. We had so many things to work through. We could not pile secret-keeping on top of that.

“Of course, you do,” admitted Alex, keeping his voice low and his tone gentle.

I half-wished she was more upset with them. I deserved to be in here with her alone like Calix on Christmas Day. I sulked quietly while Alex tried to comfort Chasity.

Alex

I felt awful. I hope Chasity knew how remorseful I was.

I just wanted to hold her so badly.

I hoped she would not push me away this time.

I drew her to me slowly, pulling her onto my lap and into my arms. I just needed her to know how much I wanted her to notice me as pathetic as that might sound. I just wanted an unencumbered shot at her love, which was technically already impossible because of our history together. When Dad told me this particular secret, about Chasity’s Dad being the stepbrother of our Mom, I panicked. It was yet another nail in the coffin, another thorn in my side, another hurdle. I wanted to at least shelf it while I won Chasity over. I wanted my Luna. I wanted Chasity. I had always wanted my Luna to be Chasity whether I could admit it to myself or not.

“I wasn’t lying when I said I’ve always thought you were beautiful,” I said, cupping Chasity’s face and looking her in the eyes. “I wanted a chance with you. I didn’t want to complicate an already horrible situation,” I admitted. “That was selfish of me and I’m sorry,” I said in earnest.

I turned to Felix. I had wronged him too. He was being pretty reasonable by hotheaded Felix standards.

“I almost forgot I was keeping it from you and Chasity,” I said to him. “I kinda pushed it aside. I just wanted to be happy.”

Chasity relaxed a little in my arms. I could feel her she-wolf calling out to my own wolf.

“It’s ok, bro,” muttered Felix to my surprise.

I looked at him and he gave me a slight smile. He really was trying to cool his temper for Chasity’s benefit. I looked over at Calix to see how he was doing. He was being very quiet. I had misled him on this one and I felt guilty about that too.

Calix

Did Chasity hate me now? My wolf told me to stop being ridiculous. Maybe she was at her rope’s end with me. My wolf disagreed. He told me to ask her outright and see for myself.

“Chasity,” I whispered, looking at her with wide, frightened eyes. “Do you hate me?” I breathed.

Chasity looked shocked by my question, her expression softening instantly.

“No!” She said, stressing the word. “Calix, I love you,” she insisted looking me in the eyes.

Alex was looking at her, hope blossoming in his eyes. There was a flash of envy in Felix’s eyes.

“And I love Alex,” continued Chasity, emphasising the word again.

She was such a forgiving and benevolent Goddess, one worthy of such high praise. We didn’t deserve her but we were determined to rise to the occasion.

“And Felix didn’t do anything this time but I love Felix,” specified Goddess.

“I love all of you,” she said, looking at each of us in turn, impressing the depth of her feelings upon us, wanting us to feel secure.

We were all lit up like Christmas trees.

“That’s why it hurts so much,” she explained, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.

Our faces fell a little. Chasity opened her eyes and looked at us. She seemed to have made up her mind about something.

“I want to know where my parents are,” she said, her tone determined.

That had not been a part of the secret but I automatically turned to Alex, the keeper of all answers.

Alex

Everyone was looking at me. I met my Luna’s eyes. I almost wished I knew. I wanted to give her a satisfying answer. She deserved one.

“I don’t know,” I said apologetically.

I just hoped that she believed me. She seemed to.

“We really don’t,” said Calix in earnest, backing me up.

Felix shrugged. He had been none the wiser about any of this.

“Do your parents know?” Asked Chasity.

“They might,” I said hopefully.

Calix nodded.

“So your Mom really cared about my Dad even though he was just her stepbrother?” Inquired Chasity.

I looked at Calix. He had recently told me about that day, about how he had watched Mom sink to her knees in the snow and cry as the car drove away. That had been the day I had first laid eyes on Chasity. She had been such a tiny thing with pink cheeks and a pink nose with golden skin and golden curls and brown doe eyes.

“Yeah, she was devastated when he drove away and left you,” confessed Calix. “She had thought he was coming back into her life after being estranged because of her dislike for your Mom only for him to leave again, skip town and leave you behind on her porch.”

Chasity flinched. She let out a soft sigh.

“Do you think your Mom hates me?” She asked.

“She doesn’t,” said Calix immediately.

I was not so sure about that myself but Calix had a hard time seeing Mom’s faults. “She’s afraid you’ll hurt us,” explained Calix.

I could feel Chasity’s frustration and I found it warranted. She had been the one who got hurt. Not anymore though. I was going to protect her, encase her, insulate her with my love. I would not let a repeat of today took space. She needed to be able to trust me implicitly.

“She felt as though your Dad, her little stepbrother, was taken away from her and ruined by your Mom,” I said in as gentle of a tone as I could.

I wanted to make it clear that these were Mom’s thoughts not ours.

“She was upset when she realised we belonged to you like your Dad had belonged to your Mom. She felt she had let trouble in her house again,” I continued, my tone apologetic.

I was not so naive as to think my Mom justified in her feelings and her maltreatment of an innocent child. I wished I had been strong enough even as a child myself to see the error of both my parents’ ways earlier. Chasity, though not a blood relative, was still my Mom’s niece by marriage, her step-niece, a fact that made my Mom less forgivable in my eyes.

“What does the Luna think my father would think of how I was treated by her and you all growing up? Asked my Luna.

My old friend, Guilt, was back. Calix pouted. Even Felix was upset now. He was not innocent on this regard.

Felix

Chasity was right about my parents’ awful behaviour but her parents weren’t exactly a picnic either. We were the same. We all had questionable parents. No parent was perfect but both Chasity’s and ours were severely lacking in my opinion.

“Any good father would be outraged but your father isn’t exactly a good father, Baby,” I said in what I hoped was a gentle tone but gentle wasn’t my forte.

“What?” My Baby asked sharply, narrowing her eyes.

“Baby, he left you,” I said softly.

Her father abandoned her on a doorstep as did her mother.

“He was protecting me from something!” Insisted Chasity, her voice thick.

She got up off the bed and was about to storm away. I was not about to let her go. She needed to face this.

“ENOUGH!” I yelled a lot more loudly than I had meant to.

My wolf snarled at me for yelling at his stan, Chasity.

Alex stiffened, looking at me like I was crazy. Calix looked shocked by my outburst. Chasity sat back down on the bed, her eyes wide.

“You’re going to be the Luna of our pack and you have to grow up, Baby!” I said, not backing down. “Your father and mother were irresponsible. They had substance-abuse problems. None of this would have befallen you or them if they had made different choices. If you’re gonna hold us accountable, you’re gonna hold them accountable too. Your parents were not a fairytale, Baby!” I said.

Tears rolled slowly down Chasity’s cheeks. I felt awful but it needed to be said. Alex was rubbling her back, trying to comfort her. Calix squeezed her hand reassuringly.

“I can always count on Felix to make sure I never stay the least favourite for long,” said Calix, trying to diffuse the tension with some humour.

I had to hand it to him. He got me there. I rolled my eyes though and folded my arms as I stood before Chasity. I was surprised Alex had nothing to say. I had thought he was a few seconds away from using her eldest Alpha voice.

“I know they were addicts, ok,” admitted Chasity, her voice barely a whisper.

My heart broke watching her turn away from me and crawl under the covers, defeated. Instinctively, we all tried to get under the covers with her to cuddle her.

“Please, I just wanna take a nap, by myself,” she pleaded, refusing to look at us. “I won’t change rooms but I want to be alone right now.”
