The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 72

***Chastity***

I woke up early the next morning, excited for my visitors. It was going to be a great day. Molly, Melissa, Colby, Braxton, and Gina were set to arrive around 10:00. Rowen said he, Jax, Dimitri, and Alpha Joseph. would arrive around 12:00. The street fair was set to happen in the Dark Moon pack town to start around 10:30. I was excited for it as I had never been to one before, and I was even more excited to share this experience with some of the people I cared about. It was going to be a fun day. I just knew it.

After showering I put on a pair of denim shorts, and a green t-shirt. Once my hair was pulled back into a ponytail I was ready. I made a quick trip to the cafeteria then went to get Lexi up. She was grumpy at first, but thankfully that didn’t last long. She dressed pretty much the same as I did, just with a pink t-shirt instead of green. By 9:30 she was laughing, and calling me Norm Junior because I was bouncing with excitement over my plans for the day, and my guests.

We went down to the parking lot to meet everyone a little before 10:00. Colby had barely put the car in park when Molly, and Melissa jumped out and ran to us. We got into a big, happy, squealing hug that made everyone laugh. Once the greetings were done, we headed off to the street fair. Molly, and Melissa linked their arms with mine, and pulled me to walk at the back of the group.

“I’m telling you Lexi, and Colby are mates.” Molly whispered quiet enough that only Melissa and I could hear her.

“Even if they are, we need to stay out of it Molly.” Melissa whispered.

“I know. I never said I would get involved. I’m just pointing out the obvious.”

“Or maybe you just think you know.”

“How could they not be? Look at those two.”

I looked to see what she was talking about. Lexi, and Colby were at the front of the group, walking close, talking quietly. They weren’t touching, but they were definitely comfortable with each other.

“For all we know they’re just friends. Let them be Molly. They’ll figure it out one way or another.” I finally said after watching my brother and my friend for a few minutes.

“I know. I’m just saying…..” Molly started.

“We know you’re just saying, but you won’t shut up about it.” Melissa grumbled, “She talked about Lexi the whole way here.”

“Molly!” I gasped.

“What?” Molly questioned, trying to look innocent.

“Leave it alone please. I don’t want Lexi or Colby to end up being uncomfortable with each other because you’re talking too much about them to the other.” I said firmly.

“I know. I just……I’m sorry.”

“It’s ok.”

“Oh. Chastity, did you get to watch the video of the queen’s meeting?” Gina asked as she turned to me.

“No. Not yet. I haven’t had time. I’m hoping to watch it tonight though.” I responded.

“The queen is so amazing, and she really cares. She spoke so well, and with a lot of feeling.”

“Really?”

“Oh yes. She wasn’t rude or demeaning to any one. She talked more about how she worried for the women then she did about how they had been behaving.”

“Rowen told me it was pretty bad for the first couple of days.”

“I did hear that from dad.” Braxton stated.

“Yeah. Jax said the same thing.” Colby said as he, and Lexi slowed down to join the conversation.

“Rowen told me girls even got into Alpha Joseph, and dad’s rooms.” I informed them.

“Ewwww! Not my daddy! That’s gross!” Gina wrinkled her nose.

“Yeah. I kind of felt the same way.” I admitted with a laugh.

“Oh come on girls. Both men are older, and lost their first mates. There is nothing wrong with finding a companion or second chance mate.” Colby protested.

“When the girls are the same age as me, there kind of is.” I admitted.

“I guess I can see that.” Colby agreed.

“Could you imagine having a step mom the same age as you Colby?” Braxton joked.

“Hell no!” Colby grunted.

“Exactly.”

“We’re here everyone. Marcus, and Norm are on their way to us now. If we want to wait.” Lexi said.

“Oh. How did their mating ceremony go?” Molly asked.

Lexi, and I told them all about it. Of course the girls gushed over the ceremony, and Marcus wearing a suit just for Norm. They all laughed at Luke’s antics, and him claiming he was my mate. Molly swore we were going to find picture frames, and albums for the photos taken. She wanted to get special ones as a gift for Marcus, and Norm though. She was a woman on a mission. Once she knew exactly what she needed to buy, that was all she focused on it until she had it.

“Don’t worry Molly. There will be plenty of vendors with options.” Lexi said.

“Oh good because I will not rest until I find the perfect frames, and album for them.” Molly stated firmly.

“Hi everyone!” Norm called out as he bounced over to us, in typical Norm fashion.

We girls giggled as hugs were given all around. When Norm, and Marcus were introduced to Braxton, and Gina, Norm gushed over how handsome Braxton was going to be when he hit adulthood. Of course this made Braxton blush, and Marcus growl. The rest of us laughed.

“Congratulations to you both, by the way.” Molly said to Norm, and Marcus.

“Yeah. We heard it was a beautiful ceremony.” Melissa stated.

“Thank you. It really was perfect.” Norm responded as he looked lovingly up at Marcus.

“Alright. Are we ready to check this out?” Marcus asked as he put his arm around Norm’s shoulder.

“Yes! Lets go!” Gina said excitedly.

“Remember what you’re dad said Gina. You have a limit.” Melissa said gently.

“Yes, yes I know. “Gina grumbled.

We set off toward the first row of booths. We quickly discovered it was mostly games. We played one or two then decided to come back to them later. The next row were mostly businesses doing sales pitches.

A few of them caught my attention so I grabbed fliers for them. Just thoughts for Moonlight later.

I hadn’t realized how long we had been in just those two rows when we saw Rowen, Jax, Dimitri, and Alpha Joseph walking toward us. Molly squealed, and ran to Jax. He laughed when she collided with him, and almost knocked him over. She squealed again when he picked her up, and spun her around before giving her a huge kiss. Rowen slowly walked up to me, with a huge smile on his face.

“Hi sweet girl. I missed you.” Rowen whispered in my ear before kissing my cheek lightly, making me

blush.

“I missed you too.” I whispered to him as we walked over to Dimitri, and Alpha Joseph.

I hugged both of them hello then gave Jax a hug as well. It was good to see them. I almost laughed at the look of surprise on Alpha Joseph’s face when I hugged him. Dimitri gave me an extra long hug.

“Ok. What’s good to eat here? We’re all starving?” Alpha Joseph asked as he clapped his hands together. “I’m not sure. We haven’t made it to the food yet.” I answered.

“Well lets get a move on.” Alpha Joseph answered, and we all followed Lexi to the row of food stands.

Rowen held my hand the whole walk. It felt wonderful to hold his hand, and be with all the people I cared about. I was sad Ross couldn’t be here, but his dad needed him at Moonlight to run things until Joe, and Dimitri got home. I almost tripped over my own feet when I thought of Alpha Joseph as Joe. I had never done that before. I took it as a good sign though.

“You ok baby?” Rowen asked me as he helped me right myself.

“Huh? Oh yeah.” I responded.

“What tripped you up there?”

“Honestly, a thought I had caught me off guard.”

“What was the thought?”

and headed toward the shopping row. I slid my hand into Rowen’s and gave it a small squeeze. He looked at me, and smiled then pulled me close to him. We quietly wandered together for a bit.

Right after the toy stalls we found a stall that had beautiful porcelain pieces all of us females, and Norm were interested in. I
