Chapter 45: Three Promises, Two Castles and One Princess named Chasity Alex

Chasity was fast asleep in our bedroom. I perched lightly on the edgeof the bed so as not to wake her.

"Well tell her our agreement in the morning then," I whispered to my brothers.

Felix nodded.

Calix smiled.

Chasity stirred.

s**t! She was such a light sleeper.

She blinked and looked at me, her pretty face confused.

I touched her cheek.

"I'm sorry for waking you, Luna!" I murmured.

"Alex?" She mumbled.

"Yes, Princess," I said.

"Did...um...did..." she began, pausing with a nervous glance at Felix.

She probably did not want to reveal him if he had not asked us about helping find Chasity's parents yet.

"Yes, I talked it over with them," said Felix, guessing her thoughts.

"Your boys want to help as much as I do, okay.”

Chasity looked at Calix and me for confirmation, a small smile tugging at the corners of hermouth.

Calix winked at her.

I tweaked her nose.

Her little smile widened.

She rushed into my arms and I wrapped her up in them, holding her tightly to my chest.

I instinctively buried my nose in her fragrant silky curls and inhaled the sweet familiar scent.

I kissed her ear and whispered in it.

"I promise to do everything in my power to find your parents, Chasity, but you must promise me three things," I said.

She pulled away slightly to lock eyes with me, her expression startled.

"What three things?" She asked, unnerved.

"The three promises relate to the three possible outcomes of the investigation of your parents' disappearance," I said, holding her shoulders and giving them a squeeze.

She nodded to show she was following.

"One, if we find them alive and well, you must not go running off with them," I said, holding up my index finger.

"Yeah, she knows, trust me," muttered Felix.

"We spoke about that."

"It bears repeating," I said.

"If they're somewhere avoiding their responsibility to you and they're just peachy then they don't deserve to reunite with you, Chasity," I said gently, cupping her face.

She opened her mouth to say something but I spoke again first.

"Even though they wouldn't deserve a reunion in such a case, I shall still allow it against my betterjudgement," I said, my jaw set.

She sighed and cast her eyes downward.

I grasped her chin and encouraged her look at me again.

"I would do anything for you, Luna Chasity," I murmured.

She smiled slightly.

"Two, if they're found alive but somehow incapacitated, then you must not expect to go live with them when they are brought backto the pack.

Visits only.

As often as you like but within reason.

You'll be happy to know if this is the case, they will be pardoned on all accounts, debts and negligent abandonment included," I said.

Chasity nodded eagerly.

"Three, if they're found...to be no longer with us, you must not attempt to avenge them or investigate their case, Chasity!" I said sternly.

Her eyes were watery and my heart hurt for her but I had to lay out the three mainoutcomes and what was expected of her in each case.

She was a Luna now, marked and mated.

Everyone with two brain cells to rub together would see and smell that plainly when we returned to thepack.

"In this case, Felix, Calix and I will investigate further and avenge them, assuming there wasfoul play, "I promised her earnestly.

She nodded.

"Tell me what you just promised," I said.

"Um," she said.

"Alex, c'mon! You said like a million things just now," said Calix.

"I went home to Winter Moon, took a nap there and came back all while you were talking," said Felix.

I rolled my eyes.

"I remember," said Chasity softly.

I smiled.

"Of course you do, my clever Luna," I purred.

"Remind me of your promises.

It's ok if you want me to say them again." She shook her head.

"One, if my parents are alive and well, I promise to not go running off with them.

Two, if my parents are alive but unwell, I promise to not go live with them but to just visit.

Three, if my parents are...

not with us, I promise to not try to...investigate or...avenge them...but you all will do that...if necessary," she said, struggling with the last possible outcome.
