Chapter 11: Calix Loves Chasity Felix 

Thad wanted to say these things to Chasity for a while now. I was glad for the opportunity to explain myself but scared she would see me as a monster still.

“I thought you were a cute little girl when I was a little boy. You came to us after a tragedy and I did not get that. You were sullen and cried all the time and I was also just a little asshole at that age,” I confessed.

My brothers laughed. I grinned. It was true. I had been a little jerk who had grown into a big asshole when it came to Chasity. I had so much making up to her to do.

“I liked teasing you but it got out of hand and the dynamic continued. I didn’t know how to fix it. Also, you would be on my mind a lot and I was angry that I couldn’t get you out of my head. It makes sense now that I know you’re my mate but back then I’d be annoyed every time I saw you. Sometimes I’d be making out with whoever my girlfriend was at the time…” I said, pausing because she flinched.

I was surprised it hurt her when I talked about my exes. I didn’t think she would be possessive over me. Perhaps, this was a good sign. I kissed her fingers, soothing her. I kissed her wrist gently. Her skin smelled and felt lovely. I wanted to continue kissing every inch of her skin.

“…and I’d be thinking about you obsessively. Sometimes… never mind,” I said, losing my nerve. “No! Tell me!” She insisted, seemingly intrigued by my words.

“Sometimes I’d call a girl Charity by accident,” I said, mentioning her old nickname. “Sorry for that nickname. That was rude. There’s no shame in being poor. I can’t believe I acted like that,” I said, looking down.

I sighed. There were so many things I wanted to go back and do over.

“It’s so close to my real name, it really stuck. Most pack members think Charity is my name,” she said, smiling

I frowned. “I’ll fix that myself, and soon,” I promised. I was going to make good on that promise. Alex Calix didn’t have as much to apologise for so I figured I better start talking.

“I always thought you were cute too but our parents hated your parents,” I said, remembering the younger me.

“They’d racked up so many debts from gambling and their drug habit. You’d always talk about how great your parents were and how mean mine were. I started to think you were ungrateful but now I realise that…,”I paused, realising how angryl was, not just with myself but also with my parents.

“…if my parents were gonna treat you like that then you might as well have gone to an orphanage. There’s really no excuse Chasity. I’m sorry,” I said.

I looked at her. She nodded slightly. I wanted to press my lips to hers. I wanted to curl up with her in this bed forever. I wanted to go back in time so twelve year old Alex and nine year old Chasity could be best friends.

Calix

I took a deep breath. I knew I had let Chasity down. I should have protected her from my brothers and my parents from the beginning.

“I just went along with everything. Mom also said you were here to repay a debt not to be a playmate. There were a lot of things I liked about you and I should not have picked on you like that. That was totally wrong. I’m so sorry,” was all I could manage to say.

Chasity sighed. She was disappointed in me. I could feel it. “Last night I was a little afraid being in bed with you three,” she admitted.

“Because you’re a virgin,” blurted out Felix. “Baby, I know I’ve been grabbing your ass a lot but I really am not gonna rush you to mate us.”

“No, not that. I kept thinking about when Calix insulted me and said my parents were dead druggies and I broke his nose. Then you guys…” she paused, trembling slightly.

I gulped. Oh no. I tried not to ever think of that day. The silence was heavy. My brothers’ faces paled.

“Then you each slapped me then you put me in the ice fishing hole until I went unconscious,” she whispered.

I had not wanted to hit Chasity but Alex and Felix had said I had to. I should not have listened to them. How could I have been so stupid? I felt nauseated.

“I screamed for my life that day when you were dragging me to that hole. I really thought you were going to kill me. I could’ve died,” she said, holding back tears.

We were silent. There was no apology that would be enough but I couldn’t let her go. “You don’t ever have to forgive us but just be ours anyway,” I said.

She looked up at me. I wanted to kiss her so badly. I had kissed her once before, just a peck, but I had spent so much time thinking about that second in time when we had kissed.

Felix

I struggled to remember that day clearly. My wolf blocked it out. At that age, my wolf was a shadow of what he was today. I had not even shifted yet. He could not have stopped me. He had to watch from the shadows of my mind back then. I felt his rage at me. My head started to throb.

“For what it’s worth, we really weren’t trying to drown you. We just wanted to scare you. But even before the mate-bond I would feel sick when I would think about that day. That was a heinous act and I’ll never forgive myself,” I said.

I didn’t need my wolf to tell me that it was wrong. I loved Chasity and I was angry with myself. I wanted to go back to that day so badly and hold her tight rather than fight with her. She had just missed her parents. That was all. She had felt so alone. I could feel all of it now, through the mate-bond. I hoped she could see my apology was genuine through that same bond.

Alex

I blamed myself for that day. Felix was the most aggressive but I was the oldest. I was supposed to keep everything under control. Dad had been so furious.

Flashback

was watching Chasity sit on the back porch. She was staring out at the frozen lake. She was bundled up in hand-me-downs. Our old clothes. She was perfect. I hid in a tree so I could watch her without her knowing. I liked her hair. It was long and golden like a princess. It fell in ringlets. I liked pulling on them and watching them spring back into place. She didn’t like me touching her hair though. Her skin was golden even in this harsh winter. Her nose was tinged pink though from the cold. Her eyes were big and brown. I slid down the trunk, hoping she would see how good at climbing / was and be impressed. I misjudged it and
