Chapter 2: Arguing with and about Chasity Alex’s POV 

Felix was being secretive about something even with me and Calix. He kept excusing himself to talk on his cell. Tonya was livid. The vibe between them was weird today. Not that it mattered. Tonya and Felix were not fated mates. In fact, we would all have to leave our girlfriends when we found our fated mate, our Luna. I could scarcely wait to find her. I had hoped I would find her somewhere between eighteen and twenty years old. I was turning twenty-one and taking over as Alpha tomorrow with no Luna. Mom was tough to deal with at times but Dad would be lost without her. She had also given him us, his heirs. All of that was swirling in my mind while I was out drinking or perhaps it was the alcohol that produced the swirling effect. I did feel a little bit giddy but it wasn’t easy for a werewolf, especially not an Alpha, to get drunk.

“Let’s call it a night,” I said. “It’s still early!” Whined Calix.

Avery giggled from where she sat in our booth on his lap. The girls were a lot tipsier than us. They had driven to the pack house to see us this morning. They shouldn’t be driving home in this state.

“We should drop the girls home,” I said. “Our cars are at your place, Babe!” whimpered Sandra, nibbling on my ear. “You know I can’t live without my car!” She complained. “You shouldn’t be driving,” I said.

“Let’s go back to the pack house and then drop the girls home in their cars and then shift and run back!” Suggested Calix.

“Yes! Wolf run!” Growled Felix playfully. Ugh. No. “Ok,” I said unenthusiastically.

I was not in a running through the snow on all fours kinda mood. I wish I was curled up somewhere… with my Luna. Why was my wolf pushing thoughts of my Luna into my mind every five seconds? We usually obsessed over this but not this much! Did he know something that I didn’t? Was she nearby? I felt a bit excited. Maybe, I should shift soon and see if I can get a whiff of her or some clue. Our senses were great in this form but they were way better in wolf form.

“Guys, let’s go!” I said, eager all of a sudden.

I got up and pulled Sandra up. She laughed at nothing in particular. Tonya was glaring at Felix because his phone was ringing again.

“Hey Keaton,” said Felix, walking quickly ahead of us. “Where are you going?” Snarled Tonya. “Just a sec, beautiful.” called Felix.

“Come back here right now!” She said and she actually stamped her foot.

Yeah, she was not the one. I knew we weren’t stellar boyfriends to the girls we weren’t fated to or anything like that but we weren’t jerks. We made sure they were safe and relatively happy. Tonya was always pissed even when they were not in a fight. Sandra egged her on. Avery was honestly…a tad ditzy. I didn’t think she understood enough things to have anything to get pissed or upset about.

I wondered what Chasity was doing. Her image flashed in my mind.

“I wanna go home! FELIX COME ON!”I yelled after him. He actually listened to me. “We need to check on…the party planner,”i lied.

“Yeah…I wanna go home too…to check on the party planner,” said Felix, agreeing. I could sense he was lying too.

We drove the girls back to the pack house. I drove slowly even through my head had cleared already. Felix sped through the snow like he was in Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift or something. Calix had this meandering zig-zag way of driving which was super annoying and gave me anxiety. I hated driving behind him. I couldn’t drive fast enough to be behind Felix. We arrived at the pack house where the girls’ cars were but the girls were thirsty so we went inside.

“This is the party planner you wanted to check on?” Asked Tonya, clearly envious.

The party planner Ronda, a blonde woman in her thirties, eyed Tonya just as enviously. I knew a lot of girls wanted to be with us. I could understand that in a non-arrogant way: we were rich, they’d be luna, they’d have three Alphas catering to their needs and whims nonstop. Even if you had a fight with one boyfriend, you could just go complain to your other two boyfriends and they all knew and approved of each other. It was a pretty nice package.

Tinstinctively looked around for Chasity. She was the party planner’s helper. She was made to help with everything even the birthday party preparation although it was also her birthday. I knew Mom and Dad never got her anything. She sorta hated me so I didn’t feel that inclined to gift her anything in person but I had been thinking of buying her some new clothes and pretending like they were Mom’s old clothes and fooling Dad into handing a basket of them to Chasity. Or maybe even Calix. She might accept something from him. She had a preference for him or at least hated him the least. I kept trying to steer Sandra towards the door. She got the message.

“Girls, let’s go,” she said. She was kinda the leader of the other two.

Avery and Calix were making out and Ronda kept making a lot of noise with her prep, slamming cupboard doors and shaking bags of confetti and glaring at Avery. We drove the girls home in their own cars. They all lived in the same affluent residential area. We met up in front of Sandra’s house.

“Let’s do this,” said Felix, stripping shamelessly.

Trolled my eyes. I undressed and felt my bones break and reshape themselves until I was a massive dark wolf. Calix nipped me immediately in his wolf form and ran away meaning for me to chase him. The air was cold and crisp and the snow was nice and crunchy under my paws. I ran after him and Felix bounded after us. It barely took a few minutes to reach the pack house. We were fast. I got onto the porch in wolf form, sniffing about while my brothers shifted. They looked at me still in my wolf form like I was crazy.

“Ok, we’re home now, Alex,” said Felix pointedly, dressing in clothes we always left in a hamper on the porch.

I was trying to pick up my Luna’s scent. I smelled Ronda who smelled of stale bread and hair dye. I smelled Chasity, honeysuckle and roses. She had a beautiful scent but there was no seductive edge to it like my Luna would have but she was not of age so that was to be expected. I paused, thinking about that. It couldn’t be. I probably just wanted it to be Chasity because she was beautiful and there already and sassy and ignored me and I wanted her attention and…

Ugh stop it! I shifted. “You drunk, big bro?” Asked Calix worried. “No, little bro, I’m good,” I said with a laugh, grabbing a random outfit.

We went inside and Ronda was all smiles. I smiled at her politely and she beamed at us. “What’s up, Ronda?” Said Felix. “You know…I didn’t wanna say anything but Charity came home really late from school…” Felix’s POV “Where is she?” I demanded, immediately freaking out.

The afternoon school bus dropped her straight home, an arrangement I had secretly made with the driver. I didn’t ask the same favour in the morning because I wasn’t busy then and I liked walking her myself. I was gonna kill that guy! He was supposed to call me whenever she missed the bus! f**k!
