Chapter 48

***Chastity***

The rest of the week flew by Norm, Lexi, and I started sitting together the second day of our Anatomy glass, we stuck close during self defense class even though most of what we were doing was exercising. We had all our meals together At the end of the day after dinner we would go back to my room to hang. out. We hung out in my room because according to them mine was the cleanest. They also said they were helping Lilac get used to other people, and wolves.

They also joined me for video chats with my friends, and family back home. They met Braxton, and Gina first when they video chatted me to brag about finishing school for the year Lexi swore Gina, and Braxton are mates. I wasn’t sure, but the two seemed to be getting closer They even had a group hang out with all of their friends planned for the end of our video chat.

I also had a video chat with Jax, Molly, Colby, and Dimitri Jax recognized Lexi immediately. They chatted for a minute or two about politics before the subject changed My family also got to meet Lilac as she walked across my keyboard during the call. My brothers were a little put off at first until I explained. Molly was in love at first sight though. She gushed over how cute Lilac was. They were happy that things were going so well for me, and that I was making friends. Norm made them laugh with his antics.

Norm gushed over Rowen during our video chat though. He was quietly excited as Rowen, and Lexi discussed more of his member share idea. Rowen had been uncomfortable about Lilac at first, but once I explained he understood. He told me he would make sure Duke would accept her or he would block him anytime he spent time with Lilac. He was also happy to hear the shirts he sent me arrived my third day at school. They were both soft navy blue shirts, and smelled strongly of him. I slept in them every night since. they arrived, and I did not have nightmares.

I had my second appointment with Dee-Dee. It had been hard because she wanted to talk more about my nightmares. She asked questions why I might think Jax, Molly, and Melissa would whip me when they have never done anything to hurt me in any way before. It took me a bit, but I finally explained my fear of high rank wolves, and why She was very understanding, and decided we would start my healing by focusing on changing my view of high rank wolves. I didn’t understand why, but figured it was a good a place to start then any

Friday, after dinner, Lexi, Norm, and I went shopping again. Much to Norm’s excitement. He wanted to get something nice to look good for meeting Marcus at lunch the following day. He said he wanted to be himself, but look like he knew how to clean up. Lexi also felt I needed something a little nicer than my jeans, and t-shirts to meet with Luna Clair for dinner Saturday evening.

She helped me pick out something a little nicer, but still casual. We settled on a pair of khaki pants, a light blue, short sleeved button up, and a pair of white flats. Lexi tried to get me into heels, but I refused. I told her I refused to hurt my feet for anything. I also nixxed make up. I had never worn it, didn’t know how to apply it, and I didn’t have any interest in learning how Surprisingly Lexi didn’t argue much on that. She said i didn’t really need it any way Well beyond some lip gloss so I agreed to a strawberry flavored light. pink gloss.

Norm was a totally different story. He stressed about every single thing he picked up. He debated every shirt. He couldn’t decide on the proper fit for pants, much less the material for the pants. Shoes were a nightmare. He flat out argued with Lexi about him wearing a tie. He wanted to wear one, and she said not to go overboard. Finally he settled on a dark pink button up, and a pair of gray slacks. He bought new sneakers that were pink like his shirt.

After we were done shopping, we dropped off our purchases in our rooms, we decided to let our wolves out to run around the school campus, and woods out back. Leila loved being out. The three of our wolves

spent a good amount of time out running, and playing around. Norm’s wolf was just as energetic as he was. Lexi’s wolf was a bit more laid back, but still fun. At seems all three wolves had a great time. together. We all decided we would start to go on runs together at least once a week.

Now it was Saturday, and we were getting ready to go have lunch with Lexi’s cousin Marcus. As the goal was Norm for this, I decided to just wear my usual t-shirt and jeans with a pony tail and sneakers. I was just grabbing Rowen’s hoodie when I heard a knock at the door

“Come on small fry We gotta go. Sugar pop here is about to, well pop.” Lexi called to me

I opened the door after grabbing my little purse I started carrying around, and my school ID I was clipping

it onto my hoodie as I giggled at Lexi’s description. She wasn’t wrong though. Norm was bouncing on his toes. He was dressed in his new clothes, and had his hair spiked in the front. He looked good, but definitely ready to pop.

“Alright. We better go before he does pop.” I said with a laugh.

“Come on you two. You’re holding me up from possibly meeting my forever Hurry up.” Norm exclaimed as he sprinted down the hall to the elevators, with Lexi and I laughing behind him.

It was all we could do to keep him with us, and not running off ahead as we made our way to the café we would be meeting Marcus at. Nothing we said seemed to calm him down either We finally gave up, and just giggled at his antics. That’s usually what we had to do with him any way Suddenly he stopped half a block from the café, and turned to us, looking a little sad.

“What’s wrong Norm?” I asked, confused by this turn of events.

“If if he is my mate it means I have to move floors, and won’t be living across from you two any more. It also means we’ll have less time together because I’ll want to be with him all the time instead of you two. You’re my besties. I can’t do that to you.” Norm said with a whimper.

“Don’t worry Mister Dramatic. We’ll make it work out. Besides we will see each other in class all the time since we have pretty similar schedules this semester.” Lexi said soothingly

“True. Ok. Lets go.” Norm said excitedly, bouncing off again, causing me to giggle at him and shaking my head.

His moods changed like the wind.

“I hope Marcus is his mate. They’d be good together Norm is so bubbly, and happy all of the time. Marcus needs that in his life. And Marcus is so grounded he might help level Norm out a bit.” Lexi whispered to

“Fingers crossed then.” I whispered back, and Lexi nodded.

When we reached the café Norm stopped in his tracks, right inside to door way. His stop was so sudden that Lexi, and I almost ran into him. Norm took a huge whiff of the air in the café

“Something smells like coffee, and dark chocolate. My two favorite scents.” Norm said quietly.

“You like coffee?” I asked.

“Nah. I hate the stuff, but I do like the smell.” Norm answered, and looked around.

I came up beside him, and saw his eyes widen, and his jaw dropped. I turned to see what caught his attention, and saw a guy that looked almost like a male version of Lexi coming toward us, slowly. He was sniffing the air, and looking straight at Norm. I leaned forward a bit, and looked at Lexi who was beaming, and whispered yes.

“Uh. Marcus this is….” Lexi started, but Marcus cut her off.

“Mine.” Marcus said simply in a deep voice, causing Norm to whimper, but bounce happily.

“Ye…..yes. You’re mine too right?” Norm squeaked.

“What do you think?” Marcus asked with a sly grin.

“I…..yes. You’re mine.”

“What’s your name?”

“N…Norm.”

Before anyone could say anything, Marcus pulled Norm to him, and kissed him hard. Norm whimpered again before wrapping his arms around Marcus, and kissing him back. When Marcus ended the kiss he buried his nose in Norm’s neck, and sniffed, hard. Norm gave a happy bounce, and sniffed Marcus in return. Finally they separated, and Marcus turned to Lexi.

“Hey Lexus.” Marcus said as he pulled her into a side hug.

“Hey Mucus.” Lexi said returning the hug then he turned to me, and stuck out his hand.

“I’m Marcus.”

“H…hi. I’m Chastity Bloomfield.” I said as I shook his hand quickly.

“Chastity Bloomfield? I know that name.” He said as he grabbed Norm’s hand, and led us to a table, pulling Norm behind him.

Lexi, and I both giggled as we watched the scene. Norm still hadn’t found his words again, but man was he bouncy. Goddess help us when the poor boy remembered how to speak again. Once we reached the table Marcus had been sitting at, he pushed Norm into a chair, and ordered him to sit. Then Marcus sat in the chair next to Norm, and draped his arm over Norm’s shoulders.

“Yeah. You do know her name Marcus. She was the one Alpha Joseph from Moonlight called the conference for.” Lexi answered as she and I took our seats across from the pair

“That was you?” Marcus asked.

“Ye….yes.” I stuttered. I really didn’t want to talk about it.

“Damn girl. You’re bad ass.” Marcus stated

“Th…that’s what Norm, and Lexi said about me too.”

“You called her a bad ass?” Marcus looked to Norm, and asked.

Norm only nodded with a big grin on his face. He still hadn’t found his words. The longer this went on the worse it would be.

“Good boy.” Marcus said, leaned over, and kissed Norm’s neck, causing Norm to shudder.

Lexi, and I looked at each other, giggled, and rolled our eyes. This was going to be an interesting meal.

“What would you girls like to eat? Would you like some coffee mate?” Marcus asked causing Norm to finally find his voice.

“Uhh…um….no thank you, I don’t actually like coffee, just the smell.” Norm stuttered.

“Would you like a coke instead?”

“Please goddess no caffeine otherwise sugar pop will really pop.” Lexi joked.

“Sugar pop?” Marcus questioned.

“Oh yeah. He’s like a pup loaded up with sugar, and he bounces like crazy so sugar pop.” Lexi explained

“Alright. So Norm, tell me about my mate.” Marcus requested as he looked at Norm.

That was all it took. Norm was off like a shot. He spent the rest of our meal talking constantly about himself, his family, his two best friend Lexi and myself, and anything else he could think of. The

excitement in his voice, and the constant bounce were a wonder to see. It always was with Norm. When he finally stopped talking, Marcus turned to look at Lexi

Problem with that was I was angry, hurt, and felt really stupid. I wasn’t ready for all of that I went along with it because I thought my parents were right about me being away for awhile.

You saw someone who needed someone to just listen, and be there for them. You didn’t have to do that. You could have just brushed me off like the bitch I was, but you didn’t. You jumped to my defense. On top of that, you pretty much forced Norm and me to speak to each other Because of you I found out that my pack doesn’t think I’m the biggest joke, and loser there is.
