Chapter 5: Paving the way for Chasity Calix’s POV 

Waiting for Chasity here was pointless. She was probably working on the party planning downstairs. I was wasting time. I needed her in my arms right now. I could only imagine the effect she would now have on me in person if just her scent was driving me wild.

“This is stupid!” I declared. “I need my mate, right now. I want Chasity!”

I stormed out of her room and down the stairs with my brothers following behind me. I was surprised to find Ronda in the kitchen at this early hour.

“Where’s Chasity?” I asked. I was sleep-deprived and grumpy and I didn’t want to deal with Ronda’s thirst right now.

“Hey, sleepy head! Good morning!” Cooed Ronda. “Have you seen Chasity, Ronda?” Asked Alex. ” have presents for the birthday boys!” She squealed. “Is she here?” Felix asked. I could tell he was getting annoyed. “Who?” Asked Ronda, handing each of us a gift bag.

Who? How did she not know Chasity? They were working together on this party. She must not have heard us properly.

“Thanks, Ronda!” Said Alex. “Chasity! Where is she?” Repeated Alex.

Ronda frowned. “She shifted and went for a run,” Ronda said, clearly pissed that we were looking for Chasity when she had shown up early to surprise us. I felt slightly bad but my wolf was growling. He was getting agitated. He needed his mate. He wanted to shift and run through the snow with her.

“Oh yeah!” Said Alex. “She can shift now,” he said, grinning.

“Ok,” said Ronda slowly. She rolled her eyes at us. “Since when do you guys care about Charity?” She asked.

I snarled before I could stop myself. I glared at Felix. This Charity nickname was his fault. Alex glared at Ronda. Ronda was taken aback at our unfriendly and short-tempered behaviour.

“It’s Chasity,” corrected Felix, though he was the one who responsive for the stupid nickname. We left a disgruntled Ronda in the kitchen.

“Calix, try to get some rest and as soon as the malls open, we’ll go looking for Chasity’s birthday presents!” Said Alex excitedly.

“I don’t think I could sleep now even if I had a tranquilliser. I’m so anxious to see Chasity,” I admitted.

“Try to keep your cool,” said Alex encouragingly. “We need to keep a calm head if we’re gonna talk Chasity into accepting the mate bond right away.”

I sighed. I felt a little cheated. I had not been as vicious towards Chasity when we had been little. Now, I was likely to pay for my elder brothers’ behaviour.

“I won’t be able to sleep,”I grumbled. “I just know it.” I went upstairs and flopped onto my bed. Chasity’s gorgeous scent tantalised me. Ugh. Alex’s POV

I tried to get some more sleep but it was futile. I was up again around half past nine. I showered

“So what are we getting Chasity?” Asked Felix as we walked through the mall. There were hardly any other customers this early.

Thad realised some obvious things she didn’t have that she could really use. I felt guilty just thinking about some of the simple things she was missing.

“I noticed she doesn’t have snow boots or a proper winter coat. She also doesn’t even have a backpack for school,” I admitted, feeling immensely guilty.

I should have noticed these things before. I knew she was paying off a debt so my parents didn’t want to spend money on her but that was them. I had been a man for the past three years. I could have made her life a lot easier. I should have.

“f**k yeah, she always carries her books in her hand or uses one of those sturdier grocery bags on mornings when I’m seeing her off to the bus stop. Her winter coat is yours, Alex, and she wears normal shoes,” said Felix.

He squirmed uncomfortably too.

“Ok so we have three practical things but she deserves luxury! Let’s just give her a credit card,” suggested Calix. “One with a really high limit so she can just treat herself whenever she wants.”

“Look at Baby Boy Calix all grown up into Sugar Daddy Calix,” joked Felix. I chuckled.

I remembered seeing Chasity in one of Mom’s dresses on new year’s eve one year. It had been baby blue and she had looked so pretty in it. I spotted baby blue snow boots. I had written down all of Chasity’s sizes. We got a matching winter coat.
