The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

***Chastity***

Getting up the next morning was a struggle. I had not slept great, and my emotions were running really high still. I was surprised to find Colby, and Lexi still in my room. Colby was already out of bed, reading something. Lexi was still sound asleep. How the three of us managed to fit in my bed together was beyond me.

“Oh good. You’re awake.” Colby said quietly as he set his book down.

“What are you two still doing here?” I whispered as I sat up.

“No way we were leaving you alone last night with how upset you were.”

“But….”

“You’re my sister short stack, and you needed me.”

“I….you two shouldn’t have to do that though.”

“It’s not about having to. We did it because we love you, and you needed us.”

“Oh.”

I didn’t know what else to say. I felt horrible for ruining their night. They shouldn’t have to put their lives on hold for me like that. Last night was terrible, if I’m being honest. It didn’t start out that way. I had fallen asleep while studying, but the dream that woke me up was awful. It wasn’t like my old nightmares, but it was emotionally terrible.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Colby asked.

“I…I have to get to class.” I responded, looking at my hands.

“Don’t be mad, but I already contacted your professor this morning. Since you have nothing due, they emailed today’s notes, so you have nothing until your appointment with Dee-Dee.”

“Why did you do that?”

“Because we need to talk about what happened last night, you need more rest, and how would you be able to concentrate when you head, and emotions are a mess?”

“But I can’t afford to miss class.”

“Chastity, it’s one class, and it’s not going to set you back. Your professor already sent your notes, and assignments to you so you’ll have no trouble.”

“But….”

“I get it. I really do, but right this second you need focus on you.”

“I…Thank you.”

“I’m your brother. I know I didn’t do it for years, but it’s my job to look out for you. You were a mess last night. You even said you wanted to drop out.”

“I…I’m sorry I worried you.”

“I’m fine. You’re not alone anymore Chas. You have people who love you, and are always here for you.”

“How….how did you know I was having a rough time last night?”

“Rowen text me and Lex.”

“Oh. How did you get in?”

“I had your door code add to my ID card?”

I didn’t know how I felt about that. It seemed a little much to me.

7 did it because I needed to make sure I could get to you if you needed me.” Colby explained before I could ask

“We did it because we love you small fry. Nothing more, nothing less.” Lexi said sleepily as she sat up, and rubbed her eyes.

I nodded, and looked at my hands. I wasn’t used to people being there for me when I’m struggling. I didn’t know how to react to it. It made me feel weird. Before I could say anything Lexi moved over to me, and put her arm around me, pulling me close to her.

“Do you want to tell us what happened last night? Maybe we can help you feel better.” Lexi offered.

“It’s stupid. It was just a dream.” I whispered.

“Nothing that upsets you that much is stupid Chas.” Colby said as he picked up Lilac, and set her on the bed near me.

I watched my kitten come over to me, and climb onto my shoulder then said, “She needs to be fed.”

“I already fed her.” Colby stated.

“You did?” I questioned.

“Yeah. She was trying to wake you up so I fed her to let you sleep.”

“Oh. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Talk to us Chas. We want to help you.”

“It was just a dream. I don’t even know why it upset me so much.”

“It doesn’t matter why. All that matters is that it did, and we want to help you feel better.” Lexi coaxed.

I took Lilac off my shoulder, pulled away frim Lexi, and leaned forward. I ran my hands through my hair, and sighed I didn’t want to talk about it because I didn’t want to think about it. It was my biggest fear brought to life. I felt Lexi rub my back, and Colby sat on the bed in front of me. He put his fingers under my chin, and made me look up at him.

“Chastity, we’re not going to laugh at you, ridicule you, or make you feel bad in any way about your dream. We want to hear about it so we can help you work through the stuff that it caused.” Colby said gently and I finally nodded

“Joe, and dad decided to drop the charges against Fiona then had her released from prison. They even brought her back to the pack, and moved her into dad’s apartment with him and Braxton. I went home for a visit, not knowing any of that. When I got home dad, Joe, Jax, Molly, Peter, Ross, Melissa, Gina, and Braxton started yelling at me about being a liar That they didn’t appreciate all of the lies I told about Fiona that caused them to falsely imprison her. You two, Rowen, Norm, and Marcus turned on me right that second

That I was banished from the pack, and that he made sure I wouldn’t be accepted by another pack, ever, not even the Rogue leader would except me. I would spend the rest of my life alone. That eventually even Leila would abandon me because she would no longer be able to have a mate, pack, or pups. That was my punishment for hurting so many people with my lies, and games. I was allowed to pack up some clothes in my back pack, take Lilac, and leave. I was not allowed to take any money, my phone, nothing. worth money. Even the ring from my mom was taken from me, and given to Fiona. Joe lead me to the edge of the pack territory, broke my link to the pack, and then the warriors chased me out of the pack.” I explained quietly as I had tears running down my face.
