The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 102

***Chastity***

The next couple of weeks went by quickly. Lexi, Colby, and I did get to go home to decorate for Christmas the first weekend of December. That had been a lot of fun as I had never really been involved in decorating for Christmas before. I also got to go have dinner with just my dad, and me.

That was something we had never done before. He spent a lot of time telling me stories about himself as a pup. I hadn’t known I had an aunt. Unfortunately I would probably never meet her as she had mated with someone from another pack. She, and my dad had never been particularly close as their ages were so far apart. She was older by almost 10 years. He also hadn’t heard from her in several years.

He also told me more about my mom, and even managed to find my grandmother’s contact information. He thought that she might be interested in getting to know her granddaughter He told me that my mother had dreamed of going to Cloverland, but wasn’t able to due to financial reasons. At that time there really wasn’t much in the way of scholarships.

Norm, and Marcus also had some big news of their own when we returned from Thanksgiving break. Marcus’s parents did join Norm’s family for Thanksgiving. According to Norm Marcus’s father spent more time watching what was going on around him than speaking, but he was not rude in any way. Just quiet. Marcus’s mother instantly hit it off with Norm’s mother. They spent the whole visit talking, laughing, and joking. Norm told me that he had never seen Marcus so happy. I was happy for them.

As soon as Lexi, Colby, and I returned from our weekend of Christmas decorating, finals began. All extra circulars were put on hold for those two weeks. The only class we didn’t have a final for was Anatomy We did have a mid-term though. After our Christmas break we would be starting the wolf systems.

I felt bad for Colby, and Marcus because for those two weeks they were almost completely ignored. Lexi, Norm, and I were so tired, and stressed we were also very snappy. At one point I thought Lexi was going to make Colby cry. He decided to bring us dinner one night while we were studying. He sat behind Lexi, and started rubbing her back as she studied. She bit his head off, and threatened to never let him near again if he kept touching her. I’ve never seen my brother leave a room so quickly. I felt bad for laughing, but I did.

Poor Rowen was amazing through the whole thing. Also more patient with me than I think any Alpha had ever been. He would still video call every night. I would answer the call, say hello, then proceed to ignore him until I passed out. He never once complained though. Just called every night, said hi, and worked. I’m sure he said good night as well before disconnecting, but I was already asleep by that point.

Two of my finals ended up being presentations. Well one was a presentation. The other was a practical exam in which I had to demonstrate what I learned on an actual person. I hated, and loved that at the same time. I was able to actually put to use what I learned. I think I did really well. I would find out how I did on everything today as finals had ended two days prior. Lexi, Norm, and I ended up sleeping for close to 12 hours once we were finished then took a day to stay in our pajamas, and do absolutely nothing. Well at least I did. I have a feeling Lexi, and Norm spent their time making things up to their mates. I didn’t want to even think about that though.

Today was the last day of the semester. We didn’t have classes, thankfully. While I was waiting for my grades I decided to clean up my room, and do laundry. I had never had such a messy room, and I hated it. As I was trying to clean Lilac had also been really clingy. I guess I had been ignoring her a lot. I felt bad, but there wasn’t much I could do. I had to focus if I wanted to do well. It was during my seventh or eighth check for my grades that I received an email from Dean Leonard to come to his office. That really worried me.

I took a quick shower, put my hair in a ponytail, threw on clothes, and left my room. I almost laughed

when I ran into Lexi in the elevator. I hadn’t seen her since our last final.

“Where are you headed?” I asked Lexi.

“I got an email from Dean Leonard, asking me to meet with him.” Lexi answered.

“I got a request from him too.”

“I wonder what’s going on.”

“I hope nothing bad.”

“I’m sure it’s not anything bad Chastity.”

“I guess we’ll see.”

“Yeah.”

“Did you get your grades yet?”

“Not yet, but I think they said they’ll be posted by 5:00 this evening.”

“I hope so.”

“Have you started packing yet?”

“No. You?”

“Nope.”

“Don’t forget we need to be at Norm, and Marcus’s at 6:00 for dinner.”

“I know. Do you think one of them cooked?”

“Goddess I hope not.”

“Me too.”

We giggled as we entered Dean Leonard’s office. His secretary asked us to have a seat, and she let him know we were there. I had tried really hard not to think about this meeting or what it was about. Now that

I was here it was all I could think about, and I was really nervous. I worked really hard this semester. I felt I did well. I would be heart broken if I had to leave because I failed. Finally Dean Leonard’s secretary told me I could go into his office.

With sweaty palms, and shaky legs, I walked in. He was sitting at his desk, writing something. As soon as he heard the door close he looked up, and smiled at me then asked me to sit. I sat down in one of the

brown leather chairs in front of his desk, and waited. It only took him a minute to close the file he had been looking at then grab another one, and open it. I really hoped he would tell me what this was all about as I was really starting to freak out inside. Finally he looked up at me, and smiled again.

“Hi Chastity. How are you?” Dean Leonard asked.

“I’m ok. A little nervous, if I’m being honest sir.” I answered quietly.

“There is nothing to be nervous about. Trust me.”

“Uh. OK?”

“As you may know the professors here report outstanding students to me, frequently. I also receive phone calls from those who really believe in the skills of certain students.”

“I….I did not know that, sir.”

“Ah. Well I do. I must say Chastity, I am very impressed.”

“You are?”

“Your professors have said wonderful things about you. They say that you are very attentive, you retain a lot of knowledge, take notes well, are a quick study, and you consistently have work completed early. You also read quite a bit ahead, and seem more prepared for every class than the majority of your classmates.”

“Oh. I…..I’ve always believed in being fully prepared.”

“You are that by quite a bit. That is something to be very proud of.”

“Thank you sir.’

“You’re welcome. On top of that I have received several phone calls from a a previous graduate, and short term professor of Cloverland about your skills, abilities, and knowledge. This person sees great potential in you, and another student here. This person also sees you as her predecessor in a few years.”

“Oh?”

“Yes. Do you happen to know who I might be speaking of?”

“….I’m sorry sir, but I don’t.”

“I am speaking of Wanda, or as you may know her, midwife Wanda “

“Midwife Wanda?”

“Yes. She says she has known you for years, and has always been quite impressed with you. She also informed me that while on break during Thanksgiving you, and Lexi spent a full day with her, shadowing her, asking questions, learning, and even participating with a patient or two she saw that day. This was something you, and Lexi decided to do on your own, without her contacting you to see if you would be interested in spending a day with her. This is something that has impressed her very much.”
