Chapter 58

***Chastity***

***Beep Beep Beep**

I sighed when I heard my alarm go off. I had set it for 5:00 am so I could get to the kitchen to make the croissants. I went to stretch, but found myself restricted by something wrapped around my waist, and pressed against my back. That’s when I remembered that I fell asleep in Rowen’s arms the night before. I sighed, and snuggled back closer to him. A few more minutes wouldn’t hurt anything. I instantly froze when I felt something poking me in the back, and Rowen groaned.

“Sweet girl, I need you to stop wiggling.” Rowen grumbled.

“I…uh. Sorry.” I whispered.

“It’s ok. Go ahead, and get up. I’m going to lay here for a few more minutes.” Rowen said as he released me, and rolled onto his back.

I quickly scrambled out of bed, grabbed clothes, and sprinted to the bathroom. I couldn’t believe that happened. What I couldn’t believe more was that what I felt made curious. With a shake of my head I hopped in the shower. Once I was clean, I dressed, I headed to the pack kitchen. I did giggle on my way. out at the sight of Rowen fast asleep with Lilac curled up on his chest.

I found the kitchen empty when I first got there. With a shrug I pulled out everything for the croissants, and got to work. I was just putting the first batch in the oven when I heard some one walk in the room. I turned to find Lucy standing there smiling at me.

“Good morning Lucy.” I said brightly.

“Good morning Chastity. What are you doing?” She asked as she moved to the refrigerator to grab eggs, and sausage.

“Making my croissants.” I answered as I started on the next batch.

“Ok. Since you’re here, can you show me how you make your coffee so Colby shuts up about it. That boy whines worse than a toddler about his damn coffee.”

“Sure. Can you grab me the french roast, dark roast, and hazelnut coffee please? Oh, and the empty plastic container next to the coffee.”

“Here you go.”

“Thanks. Take one scoop of french roast, dark roast, and hazelnut, put them in this container. Shake it up really well then dump it into the filter, and start.”

“That’s it?”

“Yes.”

“Well now I know what I was doing wrong.”

“What’s that?”

“I was using vanilla instead of hazelnut.”

“Oh. Yeah. No one really likes the vanilla very much.”

“Have you ever tried adding cinnamon?”

“Once. Aurora flipped out, and accused me of trying to poison everyone.”

“She was such a bitch.”.

“Yeah.”

After that Lucy got to work on making the rest of breakfast, and I returned to the croissants. I didn’t realize what time it was until I heard people start coming down to the dining room. I was putting the last of the croissants in the basket when, of all people Naomi walked in the room. As soon as she saw me her eyes widened, and she looked to the floor. I thought of saying something to her, but decided against it. There wasn’t much to say at this point. She stood off to the side as Lucy, and I loaded the cart I used to use, and took breakfast into the dining room.

I smiled to myself when I saw that Alpha Joseph was taking back his usual seat. I had been a little uncomfortable sitting there the night before Rowen sat to his right, and pulled out a chair for me, next to him. I smiled as I sat. I almost jumped out of my seat when I heard what sounded like a herd of elephants running down the stairs. Braxton, and Colby came barreling into the room. Both took big whiffs of the air, and smiled, broadly!

“CHASTITY’S CROISSANTS!” Braxton yelled as he dropped in his seat, and grabbed a whole basket.

“I REALLY hope it’s Chastity’s coffee in that Urn.” Colby grumbled, and I giggled.

“Son, you can’t eat all of those yourself.” Dimitri growled playfully.

“But…but they’re blueberry! My favorite.” Braxton whined like a pup.

“It’s too early for whining.” Lexi grumbled as she walked in behind Molly, and Jax.

“Once you taste these you’ll find out that there is plenty of reason to whine.” Braxton mumbled.

“What’s the big deal with those things?” Lexi asked as she dropped into the chair next to me.

“They’re fruit filled, and Chastity makes them with homemade fruit sauce inside. There is apple, strawberry, and BLUEBERRY!” Braxton said excitedly.

“Is he related to Norm by any chance?” Lexi asked as she looked at me.

“Um…no.” I responded with a snicker.

“Try one, and you’ll see.” Braxton stated with a sniff.

“Fine. Where are the apple?” Lexi questioned, and I passed them to her.
