The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 55

***Chastity***

So far my weekend had turned out a lot better than I expected. Originally I thought I would spend it alone. Norm, and Marcus were going to see Norm’s family Saturday morning then to meet Lexi at that pack house for her brother Darren’s birthday party. Lexi was going over earlier the help her mom set up for the party The only plans I had was my meeting with Luna Clair, which I had expected to be canceled due the to party.

I was really surprised when Lexi invited me to go help set up, then attend the party, as a guest not a server or anything like that. Of course that invitation, extended to me Friday morning, instigated Norm’s need to shop as we all had to have the perfect outfits. Friday following Anatomy class we spent in the department store searching for just the right thing. We butted heads a few times when he tried to get me into a short skirt, halter top, and 4 inch heels. That was NOT happening. We finally settled on a dark blue, thick strap lace embellished top with a sheer button down, gray slacks, and black flats. He wasn’t thrilled, but I was comfortable so he let it go.

Our shopping trip almost made us late for self defense class where Matt was moody, and snappy the whole time. I didn’t know what his issue was so I just focused on my exercises. We ended the day with a dinner, and a run out behind campus. Finding out Rowen, Jax, Dimitri, and Alpha Joseph were going to visit me on Sunday had also made me very happy.

Saturday morning Lexi, and I headed over to the pack house to help set up. I was happy to find it wasn’t just us setting up. There were other people helping. It was a nice change from what I was used to. According to Lexi it wasn’t going to be a huge party as her brother didn’t like big productions for himself. The party was set up in the Gamma living quarters in the pack house. It wasn’t a huge space, but his mom wanted it to look party like even though they weren’t having a huge group.

I felt for Lexi when we found out Anthony, and Heather planned to stop in for a bit. She surprised me when she only shrugged at the news, and finished decorating the cake for her brother. She said she couldn’t cook, but she could bake, and decorate like nobody’s business. She wasn’t wrong about that. The cake was beautiful. She made a perfect wolf out of modeling chocolate, and set it in the middle of a 3D looking field that she created out of green icing, with small white flowers scattered through out the green. I was very impressed, and a little jealous of her skills. She promised to teach me though.

At 12:00 Alpha Robert, his mate Beth, and his parents arrived. The Beta family came in too. We all laughed when Norm made a big dramatic entrance. Darren was actually one of the last to arrive at his own party. Lexi told me he always did that. He said it made greeting everyone easier because he could. say one big hello. The other people to make a big production out of their arrival were Heather, and Anthony. Part of me felt bad that most people ignored them, the other part wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness of their entrance.

Heather actually called out “Tada we have arrived let the party really begin”, while Anthony smirked. Who walks into another person’s party like that? It seemed very strange to me. Heather sulked for awhile after most people ignored her I felt bad for her for that, and even tried to speak to her, but she just huffed at me, and walked away After that I stuck to my friends Especially since Lexi had asked Norm, and I to try to stay close incase she had an issue with Anthony Thankfully he left her alone Heather tried to approach her once, but backed off when Darren glared at her Darren did love his cake, and spent an hour praising Lexi for it.

When the party finally ended I helped clean up then sat with Luna Clair in her office for our meeting She surprised me with my own copy of her Luna Bible Apparently she took my suggestion to her mother in law, and the woman ran with it. The first copy she made was mine. She said her mother in law was contacting every Luna in the country to ask if they wanted a copy

After sharing that news with me we began my Luna training. We spent the next hour going over the first section of the book. It all seemed pretty simple. It mostly covered proper etiquette for different situation. That included how to address others, and the best ways to bring up difficult discussions. It was a lot, but all in all very helpful. I was thankful for what I was learning, even if Rowen ended up rejecting met someday, this information would still be useful. Lexi, and I ended up spending most of our evening with her family. We didn’t get back to the our rooms at school until kind of late..

Now it was Sunday morning, and I was excited for my visitors to arrive. I spent most of my morning making sure I was ready for the two new classes I was starting the next day. I was just finishing up when I realized I was missing a book our instructor added at the last minute. I glanced at the clock to see I had enough time to go get it, and get to the Admin office to meet Rowen, Jax, Dimitri, and Alpha Joseph.

I decided I wanted work with Lilac a bit more wearing her harness so I woke up the sleeping kitten. Of course she glared at me, and spit at me as that was all she could manage. That always made me, and Leila giggle. Once Lilac was ready to go, I grabbed my purse, and left the room. At first I let Lilac down to see if she would walk with me on her own, but she was not having that. Instead of pulling her or anything. I simply picked her up. She quickly found her way to my shoulder, like always, and perched herself there.

People in the building were getting used to seeing me with her. The males avoided me when I had her, but one or two females would usually come say hi. Today was different though. The second, and third year students were finalizing their check in, and getting settled so the halls were pretty busy. I had completely forgotten about that so it shocked me to see the halls so busy. I did my best to stay out of everyone’s way. Once I was out of the building I headed straight to the front building thinking I would take Lilac to meet Danielle as she adored my kitten. When I entered the building I changed my mind. She looked very busy.

Unfortunately so was the book store. I should have expected that though. Thankfully most of the people seemed to be in the scrubs section, or at the register. I eventually made my way to the section I thought the book I needed was in. I was looking through the books when someone reached over my head. I ducked quickly, and turned. Lilac dug her little claws into my skin, but I ignored it. I came face to face with a tall girl with green dyed hair, and a piercing in her nose. She didn’t even acknowledge me at first. After I shook off the trembles her movement caused me, I noticed the book she was holding. It was the same one I had been looking for.

“Ummm…uh….I….I hate to bother you, but….umm..” I stuttered out, and she finally looked at me.

“What? Spit it out?” She snapped.

“I’m sorry. Can you grab me a copy of that book please? I’m too short to reach it.” I said quietly, looking

down.

“Fine. Here.” She grumbled, and slapped the book against my chest.

“Thank….thank you.”

“Yeah. Whatever. Speak up next time Omega.”

I pinched brow, and looked up at her. For the first time ever I was angry at being called Omega. I was tired of it. I try to be nice to others, but I can’t get the same respect.

“Excuse me! Did I do something to you for you to be rude to me?” I glared at her.

She pinched her brow at me. I glared right back.

“I was calm, nice, and respectful when asking you for help. You were not in return. You snapped at me, and slammed this book into my chest all because I was nervous about bothering another person. You don’t know me, or why I would be uncomfortable addressing a stranger, but instead of being even slightly. kind, you were the opposite. Whatever you’re issue is today I hope it gets better quickly. Thank you again

for the book. Have a nice day.” I said, turned, and walked away.

Leila was chuckling in my head, and telling me I did well. Lilac settled down low on my shoulder. I guess she didn’t like crowds any more than I did, and there were a lot of people in line here. I was glancing around at the racks around me when I spotted a pretty pen that matched my journal. After some consideration I grabbed three of them, and smiled to myself.

“I…uh….sorry about earlier. I didn’t mean to be rude. I just didn’t think. It’s been kind of shit day, and I took it out on you.” I heard a voice say from behind me.

I turned to see the green haired girl standing directly behind me. I gave her a small smile, and nodded.

“Thank you. I accept your apology.” I said still smiling.

“Thanks. I’ve never had anyone call me on my shit before. You’re pretty brave to do so. Most people just

avoid me.” She said.

“Not brave, just tired of being talked down to.” I shrugged.

“Happens a lot to you?”

“You could say that.”

I wasn’t getting into my history here and now. Besides she didn’t need to know.

“Millie.” She finally said.

“Chastity.” I responded. “Can I say something without offending you?”

“Sure.”

“If you want to be a nurse, you might want to learn to be careful with getting annoyed with people.”

“A nurse? Oh goddess no. I couldn’t handle being a nurse. I have enough trouble being nice to the people I, do like. No way can I be nice to strangers all of the time. I’m going to school to be a mortician.”

“A mortician?”

“Yeah. Prepping dead people for funeral rights.”

“I know what a mortician is. I didn’t realize that was an option for nursing school.”

“Oh no. I’m going to the medical school. Cloverland and Dellany medical school are both here. That’s why the place is so big. They’re training doctors as well.”

“Oh. That makes sense.”

“Yeah. Cute kitten by the way. How did you train her to sit on your shoulder like that?”

“Thanks. This is Lilac. I didn’t train her, she just seems to prefer to be up there, especially if I’m walking

around.”

“Lilac huh?”

“Yeah. My wolf said she smells like Lilacs so…

“Ah. Yeah. My wolf named my ferret Clover. Did you get her from the playground?”

“You have a ferret? They are strange creatures. Oh and yeah I got her from the playground. Bandit helped.”

“Bandit helped me with Clover too. Ferrets are weird, but she works for me. Can I ask you what you’re seeing Dee-Dee for?

“Ok. I was attacked in a human city. They call it a mugging. I got shot three times. Thank goddess they weren’t silver bullets.”

“Oh my! Are you ok?”

“Yeah. Messed me up for a long time though, and made me pretty angry at all humans for a long time.”

“I’m sure.”

“So what about you?”

“Years of abuse at the hands of a few females in my pack.”

“Oh damn.”

“Yeah.”

Finally we reached the front of the line, and the cashier was waiting on me. I turned to Millie, and smiled at her.

“It was nice talking to you Millie. Good luck.” I said.

“See you around munchkin. Good luck to you too.” Millie responded.

Once I finished up in the book store I checked the time, and saw a text message from Rowen saying they would be there any minute. I moved to just outside the Admin Office to wait for them. I was scratching under Lilacs chin when I spotted Rowen’s blond hair, and a smile broke out across my face. They made it. I didn’t even have to move when I heard my name called.

“CHASTITY!” It was Jax, and he was trying to get through the crowd quickly.

I giggled at the annoyance on his face at being held up. When he finally got through to me, he was about to give me a hug when he saw Lilac. He made a funny face which made me giggle even more. His face changed instantly into a bright smile.

“Hi pip-squeak.” Jax said.

“Hi Jax. Lets get all of your passes so we can go to lunch, and I can show you around.” I said as Rowen, Dimitri, and Alpha Joseph reached me.

Each gave me a one arm squeeze to avoid Lilac. I tried to not laugh as she watched each one carefully. “Chastity, I need to head over to the pack house. I have a meeting with Alpha Robert, and his father about what happened this weekend at Cedar Grove pack.” Alpha Joseph explained.

“Oh. What happened at Cedar Grove?” I asked.

“I’ll tell you at lunch sweet girl.” Rowen said as he took hold of my hand.

“Ok. I hope your meeting goes well Alpha.” I responded with a smile.

“I do too Chastity. Enjoy your visit. I know these three have been excited to get here. By the way, cute kitten.” Alpha Joseph smiled before turning, and leaving.

“It might take a bit to get your passes because of the rest of the students are checking in today.” I explained.

“That’s ok. We don’t mind waiting.” Jax said.

“May I pet Lilac?” Dimitri asked.

“Of course. Let her sniff your fingers first though.” I answered.

While we waited in line we chatted, and eventually even Jax pet Lilac. I found it funny when she decided

to get on Rowen’s shoulder as she literally climbed up his arm to get there. By the time we reached Danielle, Lilac was sitting like a queen on Rowen. Danielle gushed over the cuteness as she handed over the passes. We left the Admin building as quickly as possible after that.

“I sent a text to let Lexi, and Norm know we’re finally done in there. They’re going to meet us in the cafeteria, but I have to take Lilac back to my room first. She’s not allowed where they serve food.” I explained.
