Her Triplet Alphas by Joanna J

Chapter 14: Chasity’s Milkshake Felix 

Where the f**k was everybody? I could not go and bother Chasity in her new room. I wanted her to get a break from us so she’d be more eager for date night. Calix and Alex were not in their rooms. Calix was probably with Mom. Ugh Momma’s Boy. Dad’s car wasn’t in the driveway. Alex and Dad had probably gone for one of their family secret drives where Dad told Alex something and then told him not to tell Calix and me but he would tell us anyway if we promised not to tell Dad we knew. I had been nervous for dates with girls I liked before but this was something different. I knew I was in love with Chasity and I knew she hated me. I had never been at such a disadvantage. I had no idea how I was gonna pull this off. I needed Chasity to love me back. I started getting ready too early and then sat around in my date clothes twiddling my thumbs. I almost jumped for joy when it was time to go get Chasity.

Alex

gave myself a pep talk. I didn’t think Chasity hated me but I knew she didn’t necessarily like me either. She seemed indifferent to me and that hurt. I would prefer passionate love-hate over this. I sighed. I wanted to take things slowly with her but it was maddening. My wolf wanted some reassurance that we wouldn’t wake up one day with her gone. That would destroy us. I had to give her a reason to stay. The tides had certainly turned. Sandra seemed less crazy now. I wouldn’t mind trapping Chasity with a baby. I pushed that thought away. Chasity was in her senior year of high school. She was only eighteen. She was too young for a baby. She was probably even too young for a marriage though I would marry her in a heartbeat if she insinuated she was ready. The talk with Dad had left me a little shaken. Chasity was my ex step cousin or something like that. We were not biologically related but it still changed everything. Chasity and my younger brothers had a right to know, but not tonight. I needed tonight to be carefree and romantic for my Luna.

Calix

I couldn’t stop thinking about what Mom had said. Why wouldn’t she give Chasity a chance? What was so wrong with me and my brothers wanting to be with our fated mate. Chasity was beautiful, sweet, smart, hardworking. What did Mom not like about her? I knew Chasity had been sullen at times but she had every right to be. Her childhood here had been miserable. Who could expect a little girl to be happy cleaning a huge house and cooking three square meals for a family of five daily? It was too much work for one person. Mom was already organising two maids and two cooks. Four paid employees to do the job Chasity was made to do for free. I usually didn’t have much of a temper but I felt enraged every time thought about it. I took a deep breath. It was time for our date with Chasity. I already knew Chasity liked me. All I had to do was amp that up several notches to love. My wolf and I were over the moon. We were about to have our first real chance to woo our mate. We headed downstairs once we were ready.

“I’m nervous,” said Felix softly to Alex and me at the foot of the stairs. That was a first. “Really?” I asked, shocked. “Yes! Aren’t you?” Asked Felix. “I’m anxious,” said Alex. “I’m excited,” I said grinning. I could barely contain myself.

We heard a set of soft foot steps. We looked up to see Chasity walking towards us. She was radiant which is just what I had come to expect from my goddess.

Chasity’s mini skirt was tiny and her sweater was cropped. She was dressed all in baby blue which looked amazing on her. She had on her coat and boots thankfully but I wasn’t going to let her walk through the deep crunchy snow to the car so she wouldn’t actually need the boots tonight.

“You look gorgeous, Luna,” said Alex softly, bending down to kiss her cheek. “Thank you,” she said sweetly, giving him a peck on the cheek. I made sure to get my kiss even if it was just a cheek kiss. “The most scrumptious meal at the restaurant tonight won’t be the food,” I said grinning. She rolled her eyes and then giggled. “You’re perfection,” said Calix, kissing her forehead. “Thank you! All of you!” She exclaimed. She headed towards the door but I swiftly stood in front of her. “Wait! The snow is too deep! Gotta carry you, Baby,” I told her. “I’m fine!” She whined.

I scooped her up. She wrapped her arms around my neck. I wanted to brace her against a wall and rip her tight little skirt off. I kept my dirty thoughts at bay a bit while I crunched through the snow, holding Chasity with my brothers flanking me. Chasity seemed quite comfortable She relaxed into my touch. Perhaps, my Baby did have feelings for me already.

I placed her carefully in the backseat and got in with her before someone else could call it. “Only one person should sit in the backseat with Chasity. We shouldn’t crowd her,” I said.

Calix rolled his eyes but sat in the front passenger seat and Alex drove. Calix kept glancing back at me and Chasity to make sure I was behaving “appropriately”. Whenever he wasn’t watching though, my hands did roam a little, caressing her gently. I massaged her neck, shoulders and back. I squeezed her waist.

Is this ok? I asked, worried I was crossing the line. She wasn’t saying anything. It is, she said, with a small smile. My heart leapt a little. I do have some pain in my lower back from so much bending over to clean the floors, she hinted.

I frowned. I felt so guilty. She should have never had to do that stuff. I focused on her lower back and hips. When Calix looked back, I quickly pulled my hands away. Chasity stifled a giggle. Her giggles were so cute. I kissed the top of her head lightly, continuing the massage.

Alex “Alex,” said Chasity. She said my name so rarely, I perked up instantly. I locked eyes with her in the rearview mirror. “Yeah, Luna?” I said. “Where are we going?” She asked curiously. I smiled.

“We are going to the Winter Moon Snack. It’s a restaurant our family has always loved,” I said, grinning.

“Oh, Winter Moon Snack like Winter Moon Pack,” she said with a smile. “That’s clever,” she said serenely looking out the window. She seemed so fascinated by the pack lands. I remembered she didn’t get out much. We were passing through a busier part of town where there was a night life: clubs, casinos, bars, lounges, concerts, a cinema.

“You like downtown, Luna?” I asked.

She nodded. “So many people are out on a Sunday night! I thought it would be a ghost town!” She exclaimed.
