Chapter 28: Chasity’s Bath Tub Alex 

I was anxious to get some food in Chasity. Her eating habits were quite poor because of her heavy workload in the past. She was accustomed to skipping meals so she did not get hungry at regular intervals or at least she did not notice her own hunger until she was ravenous. Then, she would eat a lot and feel a bit uncomfortably stuffed. It was a bad pattern and I was determined to break it by supervising her eating of three meals a day on weekends and two on weekdays cause I could not show up to lunch in Winter Moon High cafeteria like a lunatic and spy on my mate so I couldn’t count on the weekdays being three. 

“Who do you eat lunch with at school?” I asked curiously as we sat at a booth in a restaurant in the  mall. 

Chasity was between Felix and me while Calix was sitting opposite us. I did not want to ask if she ate lunch so I tried asking an indirect question. Chasity perked up immediately. She was actually really enjoying the lasagna in front of her. 

“I eat with Mina and Tina,” she said, grinning 

“Sounds like a Pop group from the eighties, said Felix. “They’re the most popular girls in school,” said Chasity with some nascent pride. My face fell. I hoped they were not using her because of us, her mates, being the Alphas “I never heard you talk about them before. Is this a recent friendship?” I asked hesitantly. 

“Um,” said Chasity, frowning at her marinara. “Yes and no. I have a locker near theirs so I always see them and the day before our birthday, I randomly had a nice conversation with them and then I helped them with some math and they helped me with my makeup and hair and outfit for my birthday. They got me birthday presents!” Said Chasity smiling. 

“I’m happy for you, Chasity,” said Calix with a wink. 

I was relieved to hear that the girls had started talking to her before we were fated even if it was literally the day before. 

“Those were the first presents I had gotten in years,” said Chasity, reaching for her glass of coke. “What about our gifts?” Asked Felix, pouting. “That happened after. Mina and Tina beat you to it,” she said pointedly. “They sound dumb,” said Felix. I kicked him under the table. **They’re just not good at math,” said Chasity honestly. “But they’re great at other things!” “Like hair and makeup?” Said Felix, raising his eyebrows. Chasity glowered. “Never mind,” she said, getting upset. “I get it,” yelled Felix, looking at me. “What?” I asked, alarmed. 

“No, i kicked you under the table this time,” admitted Calix. We all burst into laughter, even Chasity. “Look, Baby, I don’t mean to be harsh. I just want you to be careful. I don’t want you to be…taken  advantage of. Some people might suddenly want to hang all over you. Don’t trust fully them if they only started being nice to you when you became fated to us,” explained Felix gently. 

“If you were listening properly you would have heard me say we started talking the day before my birthday!” Snapped Chasity. “And you three are the ones who only started being nice to me when I became fated to you!” 

Felix blinked. “Well, excuse me,” said Felix gruffly. 

“Felix, don’t start,” I warned him. “That’s not completely inaccurate. I understand your point, Chasity. Noted.” 

Calix put his head in his hands. He was clearly stressed. Chasity’s face fell looking at him. “If I’m so difficult to be with, why are we even bothering,” said Chasity softly. “What would you have me do, Chasity?” Said Felix, raising his voice. “Felix,” I said pointedly. “NO!” He yelled, looking at me. I turned away and took a deep breath to calm my angry wolf. Felix turned back to Chasity. “What do you want from me?” He shouted at Chasity. She jumped. “Chasity.” said Felix. She looked she was about to cry. Felix sighed. 

“Chasity, I love you. I can’t just pretend I don’t. If you don’t want to be with us…” said Felix, pausing 

I could hear his heart racing. I really did not think any of us would ever be the same if Chasity officially rejected us. 

“I don’t know what to tell you anymore,” said Felix. “All I know is that I really am sorry for how things turned out. You have every right to hate me but I thought we were going to try.” 

“I am trying,” said Chasity softly. She was staring at her lasagna and clutching her fork. Felix brushed the hair out of her face. “I’m trying too,” he said gently. “I know,” she whispered. “Is it the trip?” Asked Calix, finally raising his head and intervening. Chasity shrugged. “Do you not want to go? Do you not want to be alone with us? Is that it?” Asked Calix. Chasity was actually crying now, tears slowly rolling down her cheeks. “I’m scared, ok,” she admitted. 

Felix pulled her to him and held her tightly. She sobbed into his chest. I rubbed her back, trying to soothe her. Calix was reaching across the table, stroking her hair.
