The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 80

***Rowen***

After the girls left Colby, Jax, dad, Dimitri, and I relaxed for a bit before getting ready for the evening. I never understood what took females so long to get ready for things. Dad tried to explain it, but it went right over my head. It seemed like too much work for me. Around 3:00 showers were taken, and we dressed.

I put on a black suit with a white shirt, and a silver tie. Chastity had told me that her dress was silver, and black so I took it upon myself to try to match her as much as possible. I did take the time to gel my hair off to the side a bit. I had considered getting it cut shorter, and spiking it, but decided against it. Especially since Chastity once told me she liked the length of my hair.

As soon as I finished getting ready I grabbed the bracelet I bought Chastity then Colby, Jax, and I went down to the Gamma apartment to get Lexi, Molly, and Chastity. I had to chuckle at the three of us because it was clear we were struggling not to run to get our mates. When I pointed that out to Jax, and Colby we all started laughing, and slowed down. There was no need to rush. We still had time. When we arrived Darren answered the door, and let us in. The three of us stood in the Gamma living room bouncing, much to Darren’s amusement.

When the girls came out, my breath caught in my throat, and I smiled. Chastity looked beautiful! The top of her dress was molding to her chest, and stomach perfectly. The bodice had been cut into a V that gave just a peak of cleavage. It was cut to show her tiny waist then flared out a bit, down to mid-calf. The dress was black with some kind of muted silver design all over it, and a black ribbon tied, and bowed right near her right hip. Her hair was pulled back in some design, but she had small curls around her face which was make up free except a light gloss on her lips. I smiled even more at the sight of the necklace I gave her falling just short of the V of her dress. She was also smiling shyly at me. She looked beautiful. Innocent, but beautiful.

It took me a second to remember how to walk, or speak. When I finally did, I moved toward her slowly, smiling at her. Her big green eyes were bright, and happy. As I reached her I put my hand on her waist, and lightly kissed her check.

“You look beautiful.” I said quietly, as I looked into her eyes.

“I do?” She asked, looking down at her dress.

“Yes.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. I have something for you.”

“You do?”

“Yes.”

I handed her the box with the charm bracelet in it, and waited. She opened it with trembling hands, and gasped when she saw it. It wasn’t big or clunky. It was small white gold links put together, and the three flower blossom charms were also small, and perfect for her small wrists. She looked up with me with wide eyes, and huge smile.

“Do you like it?” I asked.

“Yes. Very much. It’s beautiful. Thank you.” She answered still smiling.

“Would you like me to put it on for you?”

“Oh yes please.”

She handed me the box, and I carefully removed in from the box. As I went to put it on her, I couldn’t

helped running my finger along the pulse point of her wrist, causing her to gasp quietly. I smirked at her reaction.

“What’s nice about this bracelet is that you can add other charms to it. If you want of course.” I said as I arranged it so the charms sat nicely on the top of her hand, and admired it, before kissing the back of her hand, causing another smirk inducing gasp.

“I can?” She asked breathlessly.

“You can. Anytime you see one you like it can be added onto the links.” I responded, as a I threaded her arm through the crook of mine.

“Oh. I like that idea. Maybe….maybe when we go out to do things together we can pick one to add to commemorate the day. If that’s not too stupid of an idea.” She suggested, looking up at me shyly.

“I think that is a great idea.” I smiled at her.

“So it is my Rowen memory bracelet.” She giggled.

“So it is.”

“We better get back upstairs. We need to line up, and make our way to the ballroom.” Jax stated.

We said our goodbye to Lexi’s family, and went back to our apartment. Dad, and Dimitri were waiting for us. I smiled at the look on Dimitri’s face when he saw Chastity. His eyes misted up, and smiled like a proud father. He walked to her slowly, and took her in.

“You look so much like your mother. She would be so proud of you.” He whispered.

“You think so?” Chastity responded, and blushed.

“I know so.”

He kissed her cheek, and stepped back. After he greeted the other two girls we lined up as we had the night before. We moved quietly through the halls. I smiled, and puffed up with pride anytime any one looked to Chastity. Her innocent beauty caught the eye of many. When we arrived at the ballroom I mind linked her.

“I know your nervous, but keep your head held high, look straight ahead, and smile. You are beneath no one here. You are strong, courageous, intelligent, brave, and beautiful. You have nothing to be ashamed off. Only things to be proud of. You have survived, and can still smile. You have reached your dream, and are attending one of the best programs in the world for your field. You deserve to be here for all of that, and more.” I mind linked Chastity, letting my pride in her bleed through my words.

“I…..I….Thank you.” Chastity whispered through mind link.

“I only speak the truth sweet girl.”

“How did you know I needed to hear that?”

“As your mate I could feel it. I could feel that you were becoming scared, and nervous.” “Oh.”

“Yeah. Don’t you worry sweet girl. I got you.”

She smiled up at me, and nodded. I could sense her tension lessening as we prepared, to enter the ballroom. I placed my hand over hers, and followed my dad, and Dimitri. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her take a deep breath, smile, and lift her chin. My pride in her rose even more at those actions. She may

lack in confidence, but she was going to do the best she could not to show it. I couldn’t ask for more than that. When we were announced as Future Alpha, and Future Luna, I got a little concerned about her reaction, but she didn’t falter once.

We were directed where to stand, and took our places to the right of the stage. Many of the members of Dark Moon were here, and in the center of the room. Family of the Alpha, from other packs would be the right, closest to the stage. Allies would be behind us, and also to the left. Jeremy, Clair, Anthony, Heather, Lexi’s parents, the Beta, and his mate were standing the stage behind a covered table. Sitting on the table was the ceremonial cup, and dagger.

I looked at Jeremy, and Clair first. They looked incredibly proud that this moment had arrived. As did Lexi’s parents, as well as the Beta, and his mate. I looked to Anthony to see he looked bored, and almost annoyed. Heather was different story. Her face was pinched, and I could tell she kept huffing. Her dress. made my cringle. It was too short, too low cut, too tight, and she almost look like a disco ball with all the sequins on it.

“Who in their right mind would think that dress is appropriate for this kind of thing?” I heard Molly whisper, causing me to snicker.

“I guess someone forgot to tell her she needed a formal dress, not something for going to a club.” Lexi said under her breath.

“It’s possible no one thought to help her find the right outfit for today. If she’s never had to attend a formal event before she may not realize why that dress may be considered inappropriate. We don’t know, and it’s not fair for us to judge.” Chastity hissed.

I saw Molly’s eyes widen, and her face flush in embarrassment. She instantly looked down in deference to Chastity. I had to bite back my smile of pride in Chastity. I glanced over at Lexi to see she was behaving in the same manner as Molly. I noticed the pride in Dimitri’s eyes as he looked at Chastity and nodded. “Did I do something wrong?” Chastity asked quietly through mind link.

“Not at all sweet girl. You did exactly as you should. It does not look good on a pack to speak as they did. At least out loud. Please understand I do not say this to make you uncomfortable, but you just did what a Luna should, and would do when those of her pack speak as they did. While many would agree that Heather is dressed inappropriately, it is disrespectful to say such. Especially in this setting.” I explained through mind link as I gently squeezed her had.

“Oh…I.

….I didn’t want to upset Molly, and Lexi, but we don’t know why Heather is wearing that dress. It’s not fair to judge her for it.”

“They are not upset. They are contrite for their behavior. You made them realize they were wrong.”

“OH.”

“Yes. You did the right thing.”

“If I did, why is Heather glaring at me?”
