Chapter 25: Homecoming
Chasity‘s POV I had a great time on the island for the most part. After Felix promised me to help me find out about what had happened to my parents, he convinced Alex and Calix to agree to it. We talked about it once more and then I put it aside for the remainder of the vacation. I was their fiancee now and they wanted me to enjoy myself. The chefs cooked amazing meals everyday on the yacht. I got to go into the ocean with Felix holding me tight the whole time. He did not want Calix to hold me to Calix‘s chagrin. I knew Felix was still upset about the pool incident but that was not actually Calix‘s fault. It was the bad memory of all the triplets trying to dip me in ice water that made me behave like that. Alex suggested something interesting to me.
“Don‘t be offended ok, my Luna,” he murmured in my ear while I sat on his lap on deck watching the sunset.
“Mmhm,” I said, enjoying the cool sea breeze and the kaleidoscope of colours as the sun made his way down below the horizon making way for the moon and her stars to light the falling darkness.
“Maybe you should see a therapist,” he said softly and gently. “We‘ll pay for it of course. I want you to
stop thinking of things like you versus us. It‘s not like that. You are a part of us. You‘re our mate. It‘s our
responsibility to care for you. You don‘t owe us money when we buy you things or take you places. Those gifts benefit us too because it helps make you happier,” he whispered all of this, snaking his arms around me from behind and rocking me side to side a little as though we were swaying to silent music.
That reminded me of something. I wanted to dance with my father at our wedding but I didn‘t even know if he was alive. I shut my eyes.
“I‘ll go…I want to go,” I answered.
Therapy was something I was curious about. The rich werewolves and she–wolves at high school talked about their therapists often. “My therapist said no calling my ex.” “My therapist is making me journal.” “Ugh! I need to call my therapist!”
“It‘s nothing to be ashamed of, ok,” said Alex, his breath tickling my ear. “I love you, Chasity,” he breathed, his breath ruffling a few strands of my curls.
“I love you, Alex,” I whispered back.
He pressed his lips against me, coaxing my mouth open so he could deepen the kiss by sliding his tongue into my mouth. I caressed his tongue with mine as I cupped his face with my hands. I broke the kiss and gazed into his eyes. I nuzzled him. He laughed and nuzzled me back.
“You‘ll protect me from the Luna‘s wrath when she realises she‘s getting me as a daughter–in–law?“| asked.
“I‘ll protect you from everything and everyone that ever tries to harm you for the rest of eternity,” he said.
“Are you trying to take Calix‘s crown? He is the Drama king around here!” lioked.
“Hey! You‘ve cut me deeply, my Goddess,” called Calix from the bar.
.
Felix was behind the bar getting an impromptu cooking lesson from the chefs. He really was interested in culinary arts. He had on a chef‘s hat, no shirt and swimming trunks.
“Felix, aren‘t you a bit overdressed?” I called.
Felix grinned. The chefs raised their eyebrows. Calix and Alex laughed.
I was sad to leave the yacht and even more sad to leave the beautiful warm island and go back to the snowy cold pack lands. I sighed as we exited the air port. We had just flown back. The former Alpha was picking us up. He bear hugged his three boys clapping them each on the back. He nodded politely at me and glanced at the ring on my finger. I hid behind Calix a little. Calix pulled me into him, holding me close to his side and stroking my wrist with his thumb. I sighed.
We piled into the car and drove back to the pack house. I was silent while the triplets talked with their Dad, telling him stories about the island and the yacht. Their Dad had clearly visited that island before and he had given the yacht, Luna, to the triplets which they renamed Chasity. We got out of the car and crunched through the snow. We opened the door.
“SURPRISE!!!!”
I jumped. The triplets grinned, their baby blue eyes widening. They looked at their Dad who broke into a huge smile. The whole pack had gathered for a welcome back party. The house was decorated with fairy lights everywhere and there was a huge banner that read Welcome Back Alex, Felix, Calix and Chasity. I was shocked they had included me in the banner but I figured the Luna knew the triplets would have a fit if they didn‘t. Rhonda, the party planning, came out from the kitchen wearing a lacy black bralette under micro–mini blue overalls. She had bleached her blonde hair platinum. She really did look good.
“Welcome back boys!” She said with open arms. All three of them hugged her at once. She was over the moon. She did not say anything to me. I looked at her daring her to say something to me.
I folded my arms. Thank goodness I had dressed up a little. I was in a shimmery blue satin dress with black tights and black ankle boots. Rhonda was smug because she had gotten a hug. She had her hand on Felix‘s arm. I put my hand on his chest.
“Baby,” I said,
Felix grinned at me and kissed me. I kissed him way more passionately than I should have in a room full of people. When I pulled away, Felix was panting but clearly gleeful. I spotted his Mom, the Luna, watching us with wide eyes. Rhonda was seething with jealousy.
“Felix, Baby,” I said breathlessly. “Tell our friend, Rhonda, the story of how you three proposed to me! It was so romantic Rhonda and on a yacht named after me! You should have been there!”
Felix was delighted and started telling the story to a large group of pack members including a
horrified pale Rhonda and the Luna who looked like I had just slapped her in the face. When he was done he kissed me. Everyone cooed and clapped. Rhonda was glaring at me. If looks could kill, i‘d be cold and
six feet under She sniffed and walked away. I had not put on that show for the Luna but it had affected her
too. She walked over to us hesitantly.
“Mom!” Felix said grabbing her up in a bear hug and kissing her cheeks. She smiled but it did not reach her eyes.
“I had thought you three had wanted to wait until Chasity was older. She‘s only eighteen. She‘s in high school,” Luna Ronnie said.
The former alpha, Romeo, came over and put his arms around his wife. Alex came over to hug his Mom.
“Mom, you knew I had the ring already though,” said Alex gently.copy right hot novel pub
