Chapter 57: Party Puke-r Chasity Alex 

Love was a form of madness. I would always see mates taking care of each other through thick and thin and in ways that were frankly…gross. I remembered my high school friend holding back his mate’s hair while she vomited into the toilet. She had then proceeded to vomit on him too. All he had been concerned about was her. He had not been the least bit squeamish. I had told him he was crazy. I wondered if he was here tonight to see that I was crazy now too. I went right for Chasity and wrapped my arms around her. I knew there was undoubtedly vomit on my shirt now but it was the least of my worries. Chasity was sick. I should have cut her off sooner. In fact, I should not have let her drink at all. I had held my tongue because Felix and Calix were both all for it and I had wanted to not be the bossiest and fussiest 

one for once. 

“Little Luna! Are you ok?” I cooed, pulling her even closer to me. “What happened? Where’d you run off to?” 

“I had to use the bathroom,” she mumbled. “Did you?” I asked. 

She shook her head. I looked at the open door right in front of us. It led to an immaculate white-tiled bathroom here on the stair landing. Unfortunately, there were three seething she-wolves separating 

Chasity and me from the sanctity of the bathroom’s gleaming interior. 

My brothers and I had tried to end things with Sandra, Tonya and Avery on good terms but they probably still harboured ill feelings towards us. Nevertheless, Chasity herself was innocent in all of this. I had hoped Sandra and the girls would be decent enough to acknowledge that. I supposed my hopes for them had been too high. 

“Excuse us, ladies,” I said, keeping my tone polite and unassuming, hoping that they would simply step aside. 

“Alex! She vomited on us!” Shrieked Sandra, her voice shrill. The girls remained standing there wearing scowls to match their vomit-splattered clothes. 

“She’s sick,” I said curtly, “and if you hadn’t blocked her way to the bathroom you wouldn’t have gotten vomited on,” I added. 

It was a no-brainer. Who would accost a nauseous girl on her way to the bathroom? “You hated her!” Spat Sandra, emphasising the word. “You called her a burden and…” “ENOUGH!” I roared in my Alpha voice as my wolf came forwards. 

Sandra’s screeching had irritated him. I could not recall ever calling Chasity a burden. Sandra was totally misrepresenting everything I had said just to put a rift between me and Chasity and that was low. Sandra, Tonya and Avery fell silent and became tense in response to me using my Alpha voice. 

“Move, now!” I ordered. 

They had to obey their Alpha so they hurried down the stairs and out of sight. I helped Chasity into the bathroom, locking the door behind us 

“Do you need to vomit again?” I asked, brushing the curls stuck to her sweaty forehead out of the way. 

She shook her head but went towards the toilet anyway. She stared at me. I stared at her. **Turn around. I have to pee,” she squealed. 

I faced the wall while she used the toilet. She washed her hands and then I helped her wash her face. I wiped the vomit off of her dress with a few damp paper towels. I carried her from the stair landing bathroom to the kitchen. I knew the layout of the house well. It was my Beta’s house and we had pack meetings here as adults and playdates here as children. We had known the whole family for years. 

I put Chasity to sit on the kitchen counter and then I made her sip some water while I patted her head with a damp towel. Her face was flushed and she felt a bit feverish so I was worried. She groaned. 

“Your tummy?” i guessed. “My head,” she mumbled. “You have a headache?” I asked. 

She nodded feebly. I made her take two ibuprofen tablets for the headache and a gravol tablet for the nausea. Chasity took whatever I handed to her. She was so trusting and sweet. I kissed her forehead and put the damp cool towel on the back of her neck while she buried her face in my chest. I kept one of my hands on her waist to hold her steady
