The Alpha’s Fight for His Omega by Jess K

Chapter 110

***Chastity***

The week after Christmas flew by Rowen, Jax, Ross, Joe, dad, and Pete were back to work. Molly was off due to winter break at school. Melissa was off from her online courses as well. She did spend Tuesday, and Wednesday at her mom’s shop with her. Lexi, and I spent Tuesday, and Thursday working with midwife Wanda. Thursday we got to be part of a delivery. That had been so exciting.

The rest of the days were spent with Molly, Melissa, Lexi, and Gina. It was nice having girl time, and we all got along really well. Listening to Molly talk about her students was adorable as I could really hear in her voice how much she enjoyed them, and teaching. I noticed that Melissa talked more about working in her mom’s shop than her classes, and said noting about her coming classes. She seemed like she was hiding. something. When I finally got the chance to ask Molly about it one evening, she informed me that Melissa ended up hating it once she really got into it. She hadn’t planned to go back the following semester, but didn’t want to tell me because she was afraid of letting me down.

I fixed that quickly though. I took Melissa to lunch, and after a bit, she finally admitted to how she felt about her classes. I made sure that she knew I was not disappointed in her in anyway. She also admitted she was more interested in taking over her mom’s shop some day, as well as expanding it. She just didn’t know anything about business. With some discussion, and looking into programs offered by her college. We found that her college offered a Business Management degree. She attempted to sign up for classes while we sat there. We both felt a lot better by the end of lunch.

I also had lunch with Jax one day, at the town diner. Unfortunately Rachel was our waitress. She tried flirting with Jax, but got turned down quickly, much to her displeasure. She didn’t say anything to me though, and actually got my drink order correct, thankfully. Jax, and I did make plans for him to come for a visit when I returned to school. He was going to come for a weekend, by himself so we could spend some much needed sibling time together. I was really looking forward to that.

Dad had a lot of end of year paperwork to do so he wasn’t able to go out for a meal with me, but we did have lunch in his office one day. I didn’t know he had hung the collage I made him in his office. When i saw it on the wall next to his door so he could see it from his desk, I smiled, and felt really good about it. I also appreciated the picture he had of all of us from Molly, and Jax’s mating ceremony on his desk, next. to the one of him, mom, and me from the day I was born. I spent most of our lunch listening to him tell me about the plans he had for the train I got him. He even picked up more expansion sets for it. I couldn’t help, but laugh at his excitement over it.

Rowen, and I did have another one on one date which was really nice. We had dinner together then we went to the pottery class Molly told us about. That turned into a bit of a mess, but it was fun none the less The pieces were premade, we just had to paint them. Rowen’s artistic abilities were not great, but he did try I could tell he wasn’t really a fan of the activity, but he did it for me. That meant a lot to me. We did also end up finishing the Transformers movies. We messed around once or twice too, but nothing. more than we had already done.

It had been a great week, but unfortunately I was heading back to school the day after New Year’s. On New Years Eve, we decided to hang out in the main living room. Norm and Marcus would be joining us. I knew they had made it to Moonlight a few hours before, but they had to drop Norm’s mom off at his sister’s house I figured they were spending some time with his sister first The night’s plan was to hang out in the living room, playing games, eating, and having fun Gina, and Braxton were off spending the night with their friends Dad, Joe, Peter, and Naomi would be joining us. I was looking forward to it. I was setting out a platter of sandwiches, and wraps when Lexi went to open the door.

“The PARTY is here!” I heard Norm squeal from the door, causing me to giggle.

“Hey there sugar pop. Come on in.” Lexi said with a giggle.

Norm, and Marcus followed her into the house. Well Norm was more bouncing than walking. I turned, and smiled at him. He wasn’t having just a smile though. He rushed to me, and picked me up, sort of into a huge hug.

“CHASTITY! HI!” Norm squealed.

“Hi Norm. It’s great to see you too.” I giggled after he set me down.

“Hey Chas.” Marcus said, waving at me.

“Hi Marcus. I see he’s already excited.” I said.

“Very much so. He’s been like this since we left Dark Moon.” Marcus responded with a chuckle.

“Hey Marcus. Hi Norm.” Colby said as he walked in the room, carrying a cooler for drinks.

“Hi Colby! I’m so glad she loved the ring. The necklace was such a great idea. You did great.” Norm rushed out as he bounced over to Colby to help with the cooler.

“Thanks Norm. I am too.” Colby stated with a chuckle.

Norm bounced around to everyone to say hello. Once that was done we all loaded up plates to eat, and found seats around the huge card table dad, and Joe set up. Some one bought the game Cards Against Humanity, and we were playing that night. I had never even heard of it, but was willing to give it a try.

“Did you ever send that application in, Marcus?” Colby asked as he took his seat.

“Oh. Yeah. I didn’t tell you?” Marcus responded.

“Tell me what?”

“They put a rush on the process because they need to fill the position quickly. My applications was one of 3 accepted. I interviewed, and did the practical two days ago. I got a call last night. I got the job. I go in on Monday to fill out the paperwork, and start orientation on Tuesday. I should be in a classroom in two weeks. I’ll be starting with first years, but that’s ok. I’m excited.”

We all congratulated Marcus. That was really exciting for him. Colby truly believed Marcus would do well with this new position. It also provided more financial stability for him, and Norm.

“How was dinner with your parents, Marcus?” Lexi asked since they had been so busy we hadn’t had much time to talk.

“Informative.” Marcus answered.

“How so?”

“Dad had a whole bunch of financial tips for us. He also wanted to help us apply for Norm to get a scholarship to Cloverland due to being mated to warrior.” Marcus responded.

“That was good of him.”

“Yeah but due to my job change, we don’t qualify any longer.”

“That kind of sucks.”

“His dad is going to help us figure out other options.” Norm added.

“So he is trying now?” Joe asked.

“He is. I found out that after that day at the street fair my mom gave him an ultimatum. Either he learned to accept that I’m gay, and get to know Norm or she would leave to live with us.” Marcus explained.

“She did?” Lexi asked, sounding shocked.

“Yes. She said that she couldn’t stand not being a part of my life any more. She didn’t want to choose between me, and dad, but she didn’t know what to do any more.” Marcus answered.

“Well I’m glad she did.” Lexi stated.

“Me too. They came to mom and dad’s for Christmas. His dad did spend most of the time giving financial advice to my family. At one point he held my youngest niece so my sister could eat. He was really good with her.” Norm added.

“My uncle has always been good with pups.” Lexi said with a shrug.

“How do you feel about this Marcus?” I finally asked.

I….I’m not really sure. It’s weird for me. I can’t say I trust him either. He hasn’t been rude to Norm, but he hasn’t exactly talked to him much though.” Marcus answered.

“Yes he has.” Norm stated.

“When?” Marcus questioned.

“We talked about my classes, and he asked me some questions about the house.” Norm responded.

“The house?”

“Yes. He was asking how the remodel was going, and if we needed anything to get it complete by the time I graduate.”

“Oh. Is that all he said?”

“He sent me a text this morning asking me to tell you he’s proud of you for your new job.”

“He….why didn’t he text me that?”

“He’s still not sure of your relationship with him, and he’s a little worried about upsetting you.”
