The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 71

***Chastity**

Saturday morning found me up early to get ready for Norm, and Marcus’s mating ceremony. Lexi’s brother Darren was picking us up to take us to the pack house for it. It was going to be held in a small private courtyard next to the pack house. Lexi, and I were going early to help decorate, and set up. Lexi also wanted to make the cake as a surprise for Norm, and Marcus

I had seen her drawings for it, and it was impressive. It was going to be a three tiered chocolate cake, with buttercream frosting. She was going to have a waterfall of blue icing going down all three layers of the cake, ending in a pond at the bottom. She was going to decorate the sides of each tier with flowers, and trees. At the top she was making two wolves that would have their heads tucked together standing in a meadow. It was going to take a lot of work, but I knew she would pull it off. I had also agreed to make my croissants as an appetizer.

The ceremony wasn’t until 5:00 because Alpha Jeremy wasn’t due back until 3:00. I had learned that Dark Moon had their own smaller plane so they would be flying back instead of driving. I was glad for that as I wasn’t sure if Norm could wait another week to be officially claimed by Marcus. They had marked each other already, but the ceremony would solidify their mating even more. I was excited for them.

I will admit I was thankful I wasn’t asked to stand for them like I was for Jax, and Molly. I wanted to be able to sit back, and watch the whole thing. Norm, and Marcus had opted for it to be just them up with Alpha Jeremey. I liked that idea because it made it more intimate for them.

While Lexi’s cake was in the oven baking we went out to the courtyard to help set up, and decorate. We hung paper lanterns, and streamers, as well as set up the small floral center pieces. I thought it was cute that they found, and were setting up child size tables and chairs. There was more than one which told me there were more pups in Norm’s family than I thought. I was kind of excited to meet them.

Once Lexi’s cake was ready for decorating I started my croissants. I was doing my normal flavors then. added peach, and blackberry. I even made little signs to indicate which flavor was which. At some point I heard the Alpha, and Beta families come in, but none of them came in the kitchen. I was glad they made. it in time.

Once everything was done Lexi, and I went to get ready. Since Norm wanted something a little more nice. Well he wanted formal, but Marcus talked him down from that. I got a dark blue sheath dress with thick. straps, and was knee length, the Norm picked out. I paired it with a pair of matching dark blue flats. Lexi did

my hair in some kind of fancy twist with little curls around my face. I refused make up though. Lexi opted for a light pink slip dress, and low light pink heels with her hair in a twist as well.

When we were finished getting ready we headed down to the courtyard to take our seats. The space filled up quickly. Norm hadn’t been kidding about the size of his family. There were people every where, and a lot of pups. Every one was very nice, and some of the females reminded me of Norm. I was impressed with how quickly the pups were seated, and calm when we were told the ceremony was about to begin.

When Marcus stepped under the trellis, I couldn’t help, but smile. He had told Norm that a suit would be too much for the ceremony. It seemed he decided to surprise Norm by wearing a black suit with a white. button down, and navy tie. I had no doubt that it was just for the ceremony, but I knew Norm would be so happy to see Marcus in it. I wasn’t wrong either because I heard Norm gasp when he first saw Marcus. The smile on his face could light up the room.

Norm opted to wear a pink short sleeved button down, tucked into white linen pants. He looked comfortable, and in my opinion, handsome, and very Norm like. I had thought he was rush down the aisle. to Marcus, but he didn’t he kept in step with the music being played. He had a bounce in his step, but no running. Both men had tears in their eyes, and huge smiles on their faces. The whole ceremony was

quick, but so beautiful. As soon as it ended Norm started his bouncing which had all of us laughing.

Once the meal was eaten the party began. Some how I had missed the party games that were set up for the pups to play, but they were having a great time. I met all of Norm’s siblings, finally. I spent quite a bit of time talking with Norm’s sister, and brother in law from my pack. I had never met either of them, but they were lovely people. Thankfully they didn’t bring up anything that had happened to me, or the aftermath.

Norm, and Marcus finally came back after photos. Marcus had also changed into cargo shorts, and a t- shirt. We greeted them with hugs, and congratulations. They looked so happy, and Norm was bouncing more than usual.

“Did you see my man! He was so handsome in that suit! He dressed up just for me.” Norm said excitedly.

“Yes I did see him. I agree he looked very handsome for you Norm.” I responded with a giggle.

“There is my excited boy. Norm my love, I am so happy for you.” An older woman with graying hair the same shade as Norm’s said as she hugged him.

“Thank you mamma.” Norm said with a smile.

“Barry all of our babies are growing up.” She said as she looked to her mate with tears in her eyes.

“Yes they are Patty.” Barry responded, putting an arm around Patty’s shoulders.

“Onl

Nina is still home with us now.”

“I know dear. I know, but Nina will be home for at least two more years. Besides, if Norm has his way he and Marcus will be taking the cottage right next door.”

“Actually that was kind of a mating present for Norm from me. I settled on it yesterday.” Marcus said sheepishly.

“You did?” Norm gasped as we all went wide eyed.

“Yeah. I knew you would want to be close to your parents when you finished school, and it was empty. It needs updating, but we can work on that for the time you’re in school. By the time you graduate it will be ready for us to move in.” Marcus explained with a small smile.

“OH MY GODDESS!!!” Norm shrieked than tackled Marcus in a huge hug, causing us all to laugh.

“See Patty, our excited boy will be right next door.” Barry said with misty eyes.

“I’m glad. I need at least one of my pups close to me.” Patty said with a smile.

The love this family shared warmed my heart. The looks of joy, and pride on both Patty, and Barry’s faces made me happy. Norm deserved to have such wonderful parents. I was glad Marcus was accepted into the family so easily. Those two would have a wonderful future together.

When the dancing started Norm drug Marcus onto the dance floor. The first dance between the two was so sweet to watch. Norm snuggled up close to Marcus, and just swayed. The look of pure bliss on Marcus’s face caused me to tear up as I smiled in happiness for them.

Several songs into dancing a male pup about ten years old came up to me with a huge grin. He had a mop of dirty blond hair, and big brown eyes. He was adorable.

“Hi pretty lady! Will you dance with me?” The pup asked me with a grin.

“Sure, but what’s your name?” I asked as I stood from my seat, and followed him to the dance floor.

“I’m Luke.”

“Hi Luke. I’m Chastity.”

“Ok pretty lady.”
