The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 94

***Rowen⭑**

I hated that for the first evening Chastity was home I couldn’t spend it with her. By the time the guys, and I were allowed back in Jax’s apartment, Chastity was almost completely passed out. There were empty dishes, and drink containers every where. Gina was passed out with her pillow on the couch. Melissa was almost asleep as well. Only Lexi, and Molly were still awake. The looks they were giving Jax, and Colby made me thankful the bedrooms were sound proof. Chastity passed out as soon as I put her in bed.

I was thankful I had a full week with her though. I hadn’t seen her in two weeks, and I missed her badly. At least I got to fall asleep with her in my arms. I always missed this when she wasn’t by my side. I was looking forward to a whole week of holding my sweet girl. I had the best night of sleep I’d had in two weeks being wrapped around her.

By the time I woke up the next morning she was already awake, and in the shower. Lilac was happily curled up on my chest, like always. I had to admit the cat had grown on me. Not so much Duke, but he knew he had to deal with it. The cat wasn’t going any where, and would remain a part of our lives. He grumbled about it, but secretly I think he was as amused by her as everyone else was. I was just thinking about watching her play fetch with Chastity a few weeks ago when Chastity came out of the bathroom in jeans, and one of my sweatshirts. Seeing her in that made me a bit smug.

“Good morning sweet girl. Did you sleep well?” I asked with a smile.

“Good morning. I did. What about you?” Chastity answered smiling back at me.

“Very well. I had you in my arms. How could I not?”

“You always say such sweet things to me.”

“They’re all true.”

I slowly got out of bed, after moving Lilac off of me. I had waited to try to let my morning wood calm down, but it just wasn’t working this morning. I moved to give Chastity a quick kiss, grabbed some clothes, and headed to the bathroom. I need a shower, and to rub one out. I knew it was worse than usual because Duke was pushing really hard for me to take Chastity again. He always did this crap. I would get him to back off for awhile, but then we would spend time with her, and he’d start again. The damn wolf was going to make me crazy.

“Then just do what I keep telling you to do. She’s our mate. She won’t turn you away.” Duke growled.

“You just don’t get it. She’ll tell me when she’s ready. Pushing her will hurt her more than anything.” | snapped.

“You don’t know that.”

“Yes I do. It’s you who doesn’t believe that.”

“Our mate can’t say no to us.”

“She can.”

“So don’t give her a chance to.”

“So basically rape her?”

“Hell no. Just keep her so wound up she can’t possible say no.”

“I can’t do that to her. I have to move slowly.”

Con

“Why?”

“Ask Leila. She’ll explain it.”

“Leila is ready.”

“Does Leila say Chastity is?”

“No. Leila says Chastity is not. She told me that I need to leave it alone, and we have to let you humans fuck when you’re ready.”

“So listen!”

“But I don’t want to! I want my mate!”

“Too bad mutt! If you keep this up, when the time finally comes that Chastity is ready for sex, I block you

out.”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

“Watch me!”

“Why would you do that to me?”

“Why can’t you let things happen at their own pace, in a way that Chastity is comfortable with?”

“Because we’re an Alpha. We wait for no one.”

“Well now we do. We wait for our mate, and that’s final! Now knock it off!”

I heard Duke whimper, and groan, but he shut up after that. I quickly rubbed one out with a groan, imagining Chastity screaming my name as she came around my cock. Always my favorite possible outcome. I really hoped she was a screamer. I certainly didn’t want her to be quiet when I was getting her off. I guess time would tell. I had to stop thinking about this before I got hard again. Once I was showered, and dressed, I went looking for Chastity.

I eventually found her in the pack house kitchen, talking to Lucy. I walked up behind her, and put my arms around her. I lowered my nose to her neck, and inhaled deeply. Her scent was amazing. If I could bottle it, and keep it with me always, I would. She giggled then went right back to talking to Lucy.

“What are you two talking about?” I finally asked.

“Lucy is going to the store today, and asking me what I need to make Thanksgiving dinner.” Chastity answered.

“You know you don’t have to cook right?”

“I do, but I want to. I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner.”

“If you insist.”

“I do, and no one is going to talk me out of it.”

“Fine, but we’re all here to help you in any way you need.”

“Oh no. You males are NOT allowed in the kitchen! One of you will end up burning it down.”

“Hey now. You don’t know that.”

“Rowen, when was the last time you cooked?”

“Um….I made burgers on the grille last week.”

“Ok. When was the last time you cooked a meal in a kitchen?”

“Uh, never.”

“Exactly. None of you are fit to be in here with me.”

“Fine.”

“Alright Chastity, I have everything you need on the list. I did make sure to stock up on the ingredients for your croissants as well. Is there anything else you can think of?” Lucy asked.

“Nope. I think that’s everything. Thank you Lucy.” Chastity responded.

“You’re welcome. As soon as I’m finished with breakfast I’ll head out to the store.”

“Great.”

After they finished chatting I led Chastity into the dining room, and pulled her chair out for her. We were just sitting down when everyone else came down for breakfast. Seeing Aunt Naomi following behind Uncle Peter reminded me that I never told Chastity she had started joining us for breakfast. I got a little worried about how Chastity would react, and what Naomi would do. I was shocked when Naomi walked right over to Chastity, got down on her knees, and bowed.

“Ch….Chastity, I am so sorry for what I did to you. I know my words can never change what I did, or change the past, but I just want you to know that I’m sorry. Nothing can ever make it right, and I can’t explain away my actions. I…I just….” Naomi said with a whimper.

“Naomi, please stand up, and sit next to me. You don’t need to do this. Apologizing is a step in the right direction, and I do accept your apology.” Chastity said gently.

“But….”

Chastity stood up, and helped Naomi up off the floor. I watched as Naomi stared at Chastity with tears in her eyes. Chastity just smiled at her.

“The past is the past. Is therapy helping you?” Chastity asked as she got Naomi to sit in the chair next to her.

“It is. Also helping around here has taught me a lot. How….how did you manage to do everything? Sorry. That was rude.” Naomi stated.

“It’s fine. I learned how to plan things out, and what could be done at the same time.”

“Like what?”

“For example, I knew how long a cycle took on the washer and dryer. I would start loads, then go work on one of my other chores until I knew the load was done. I would then switch it, start more, and go back to what I was originally doing. I had a system for folding that was pretty quick as well.”

enough to handle the Gamma Female responsibilities. I never was. Don’t get me wrong I tried, but I just made more of a mess, and I always felt guilty for Jane having to pick up after me, and fixing my mistakes. After awhile Jane, and I came to an agreement that I handled small things, like scheduling meetings for her, and her appointments in the clinic. I was good at secretarial work because it was repetitive. I could also write a good letter, notes, and memos so that’s what I did for Jane. I am also really good at picking clothes, and putting outfits together so I did that for Jane when she needed to dress up. She was wonderful about it. Aurora saw this.

Brinna, and Jane had a schedule worked out for the pups. When one was at the hospital, the other was off to raise the pups. They were a hell of a team, and they drug me along with them. Brinna never really knew why Ross was always with Jane or her, but she never questioned it. It broke my heart, and made me happy

took something from my son that he loved, and took the female I admired most from me. They were truly best friends, and sisters. I can say that I always considered Brinna my best friend too because she was. Aurora coming back here was like a dark cloud in a lot of ways. I kept myself away from her as much as I could, for awhile. Then one day I got a call from my mother saying my father was sick. I went, and little did I know that Aurora followed me. When I got to my parent’s house I found out that my father wasn’t sick. My brother got himself in trouble. My parents wanted me to use my position with the Gamma to get him out of trouble. When I refused they tore me apart verbally, but no matter what they said I refused. So they beat me not bad enough to leave marks because they knew Pete would

this look in her eyes that I didn’t understand, nor did I ask. We just walked home in silence. From that point on, every time I got a call from my parents Aurora would follow me. At first she would say nothing, but eventually she started making little comments about being angry, and needing to take it out some where. It wasn’t long after Jane died that she finally got to me. I got another call from my parents. Todd had finally gotten himself in serious trouble. He got caught trying to rob the bank. When I refused to help him, it was bad. My mom even accused me of trying to kill my dad from the stress of not helping my brother. When I left their house that day, Aurora was full tilt about releasing my anger, and all

in silence for a bit. Every once in a while a pack member would stop us to say hi, and to ask Chastity how she was. She was reminded again just how well known she was. Not for what happened to her, but for what she had done for pack members.
