The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 65

***Chastity***

I woke up early the next morning. I planned to make my croissants one last time before I went back to school. Rowen was still sleeping soundly when I slipped out of his arms, grabbed clean clothes, and went into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror as I brushed my teeth, and thought about what happened last night. I found myself blushing when I remembered feeling him against my hip. Feeling that had made me uncomfortable, but curious at the same time. I’m glad he stopped kissing me when he did before I did something I might regret, like touch it.

With a shake of my head, I got in the shower. I couldn’t shake the memories from last night. One of the things that I was confused about was my reactions to everything he did last night. I am used to the sparks from his touch, and the warm feelings, but last night was different. I got the warm feelings again, but I also felt pressure build in my core, and I started to feel my panties getting wet. A part of me wanted him to touch me there, but I wasn’t any where near ready for that.

Once I was showered, and dressed, I tipped toed out of the bathroom. I found Rowen laying on his back, again with Lilac asleep on his chest. This time I snapped a picture on my phone before making my way down to the kitchen. I smiled when I saw Lucy making up the coffee.

“Good morning Lucy.” I said brightly as I grabbed my dough, and fruit fillings.

“Good morning Chastity. Making your croissants again?” Lucy asked as she started the coffee.

“Yes, and I’m trying two new flavors.”

“What flavors?”

“Peach, and cherry.”

“You haven’t tried those before?”

“No. Any time I tried something a little different with a recipe, it didn’t go well with Aurora.”

“Witch.”

I giggled, and got to work. We worked together well, and chatted a bit. She was telling me about how. excited Paula was about my craft show, and paint night ideas for her future shop when Naomi shuffled in. She looked grumpy, and tired.

“Wash up the dishes in the sink, and set the table please, Naomi.” Lucy requested.

“Why? That girl is here. It’s her job.” Naomi growled, pointing at me.

“That girl, as you just called her has a name. It is Chastity, and she is in the middle of cooking. It’s also NOT her job to wash dishes, or set the table. It’s yours. I asked you nicely once. I won’t ask again.” Lucy said firmly.

“But it is her job. It’s always been her job.”

“Not anymore it’s not, and it hasn’t been for awhile. It never should have been. She is not a slave, nor a servant. She is a member of this pack. In a pack everyone works together. She is working, so am I. Now it’s your turn. You have a job to do as a member of this pack. GET TO WORK!”

“I am the Gamma Female! You do NOT tell me what to do! I tell you what to do! Both of you! You’re nothing, but disgusting Omegas! You do WHAT I SAY!” Naomi wailed.

“Not any more you’re not! You lost that position by acting like a criminal! Count your lucky stars Pete didn’t throw you out on your ass, and reject you for what you did! Get off your high horse, and get to work

before I have you scrubbing the showers in the men’s locker room after training has ended.” Lucy growled as she stepped up to Naomi.

I watched the scene with wide eyes, and a slight tremble. I didn’t know what to say or do. The tears in Naomi’s eyes caught me off guard.

“Look Naomi, I get it. I really do ok. Your parents were shit to you, and you feel like shit about yourself most of the time, but it doesn’t give you the right to treat others like shit because of how you feel about yourself. It’s not fair to them to pay for your problems. It’s especially not fair to Chastity. She was a pup, and was innocent, she still is. She shouldn’t have been the target for your self hatred. You did wrong, and acted against the laws. You know this. This is your punishment. I’m sorry you don’t like it, but consider yourself lucky. Remember where Aurora, and Fiona are, then look at where you are.” Lucy said gently, as she placed her hand on Naomi’s shoulder.

“But Aurora said….” Naomi said in a small voice as she sniffled.

“Aurora was wrong. Very wrong. She was also mentally unstable, jealous, and greedy. She filled your head with lies, and used your weaknesses against you. Jane protected you from her for a long time, but once Jane wasn’t around any more, Aurora took advantage of the damage your parents did to you as a pup.”

“You…you knew my parents, and how they were?”

“I did.”

“Oh.”

“Yeah. Now wipe your eyes, and get your work done.”

Naomi nodded, and moved to the cabinet to pull out the plates. When she left the room, I turned to Lucy.

“What was that?” I whispered.

“A little bit of truth.” Lucy responded, and got back to work.

Instead of asking any more questions | got back to work on my croissants. I was finishing the last batch when Braxton came barreling through the back door, causing me to jump. He bent over, and was

breathing heavily as he dropped his book bag on the floor. I watched him with wide eyes as he worked to catch his breath. Finally he stood up, and smiled at me.

“Thank Goddess I made it on time. I was so worried I was going to miss breakfast with Chas before she left I ran the whole way home.” Braxton said breathlessly.

“Here pup. Drink this before you pass out.” Lucy said as she handed him a glass of water.

He gulped it down as I still watched him closely. When he set the cup down he looked at me, and smiled.

“Good….good morning Braxton.” I said with a shaky voice.

“Shit Chas. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just wanted to make sure I saw you before you left.” Braxton said quickly.

“It’s…it’s ok Braxton. You didn’t miss me. See?” I smiled at him, as my pounding heart calmed down.

“I do see, and I also smell. Something yummy! Are those your croissants again?”

“Yes.”

He jumped up and down, whooped. I raised my eyebrows then couldn’t help laughing at him.

“It is too early for all that noise. Who’s acting like a fool? I’m gonna sock him one.” Colby grumbled as he walked into the kitchen scratching the back of his head.

“Oh leave the pup alone boy. He’s just excited that your sister is making his favorite treat again.” Lucy stated with a snicker.

“Well can he be excited a little bit quieter please? Some of us haven’t had our coffee yet.” Colby growled.

“Here’s your damn coffee. Now get out the kitchen you grouch.” Lucy stated as she slammed his coffee cup down on the counter.

“Thanks Lucy. Morning Chas. Brax, just…uh shut up man.” With that Colby left the room.

I giggled as Lucy shook her head then chased Braxton out of the kitchen too. I giggled a bit more as I finished up the last of the croissants, and went to take them to the dining room. Braxton, and Colby were already at the table. I heard a bunch of people coming down the stairs just as I finished helping Lucy get the food on the table. Once everyone was seated, I looked around, and smiled. I had really enjoyed this week home, and it was all because of these people.

“So…um….thank you for making my visit home so enjoyable, and for being so welcoming to Lexi. It meant a lot to me. I hope you don’t mind, but I tried two new fillings for the croissants today. There is still apple, strawberry, and blueberry so don’t worry, but I wanted to try peach, and cherry this morning. Let me know what you think please.” I said with a smile at everyone.

“Peach? Did you say peach?” Alpha Joseph asked, brightening up.

“Yes.” I responded, confused.

“I love peach. Pass those over! I need to try one.”

I smiled as I grabbed the basket of peach, and handed it to him.

“I give me my cherry.” Molly singsonged.

“I already took that.” Jax joked.

“Jax! Not at the table.” Dimitri growled, causing a few snickers around the table.

When I realized what Jax meant I blushed, and looked at my plate. I heard Rowen chuckle quietly, and glared at him from the side of my eye. He just beamed at me.

“Rowen!” Jax growled, causing me to jump a bit.

“What? I didn’t do anything!” Rowen protested.

“You better not have or I’ll knock your teeth down your throat.”

“Jax! Knock it off!” Molly growled as I blushed even deeper.

“But babe….”

“Can it Mister or it’s the couch for you.”

“But…”

“Shut it or it will be a week.”

I giggled when I heard Jax whine. He sounded like a sad puppy. I watched as Jax whispered in Molly’s ear, and she giggled. They were so cute together.

“Now that they’ve settled that. Boys we only have two hours before we get on the road for our Alpha meeting. Unfortunately it’s a two day drive, which means we’ll be staying in a hotel. I’ve already made the arrangements. It also means that we won’t be able to stick around at Cloverland for long when we drop Chastity, and Lexi off. I’m sorry Rowen, but we’re on a pretty tight schedule.” Alpha Joseph said.

“I know dad.” Rowen grumbled, and pouted.

“Would it be easier for all of you if I took them back? I need to drop some paperwork off at Denu any way.

I can do it today, instead of Monday.” Colby offered.

“I hate to say it, but that would probably be best.” Alpha Joseph agreed.

“But dad….” Rowen started.

“I’m sorry Rowen. I hate to disappoint you, but with our tight schedule it may be the best thing.” Alpha Joseph said.

I had to admit it was convenient. Lilac climbed up onto my shoulder, and we left Jax’s apartment which was surprisingly empty. I followed Rowen out of the house where everyone was standing around talking. Goodbyes were quick this time with everyone else. After Rowen put my bags in the trunk of the SUV, he pulled me into his arms, and buried his nose into my neck. I did the same. His scent

nodded against his forehead. He smiled sadly at me then gave me a hard kiss. Nothing too passionate as there were people standing around, but a good kiss just the same. Finally he released me, took my hand, and lead me to the back open door of the SUV, and I climbed in. He smiled at me one last time then shut the door. I waved to him as we pulled away.
