Chapter 64
Wednesday 23rd September, 2020 (Continued)
Star’s POV
I did not even want to think about how furious my mates must be with me. I sighed. I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. I could not keep my mind off of my mates. Should I have gone with them? My wolf snarled at me. She thought so. I grumbled to myself. I needed to get some fresh air. Maybe I should go say hi to Haven. I sat up slowly.
“Star?” Said a voice softly, emanating from the darkness.
My heart plummeted. I quickly recovered when I spotted the source of the voice, a young girl, perhaps my age. She looked the very picture of innocence with dark golden curls down to her waist. She regarded me with a sly sort of smile. I was completely unafraid despite the fact that a stranger was in my room.
“I’m Chasity,” said the girl.
“Luna Chasity?” I clarified, sitting up.
“Meh, sure,” said Luna Chasity.
“How did you get here?” I asked incredulously.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I have a snow globe portal just like yours!” She said brightly.
There was a sharp knock on the door.
“Um, who is it?” I asked hesitantly.
“My mates,” said Luna Chasity.
“Luna, fifteen minutes, ok,” said a deep voice.
“Ok, Alex,” called Chasity.
“Goddess?” said the same voice but it somehow sounded different, sweeter.
A handsome man poked his head into the room, his blue eyes wide with curiosity.
“Calix,” giggled Chasity.
“Hey Goddess!” Said Calix. “You won’t be long, will you?”
“No, I won’t be long,” she promised.
“Baby, hurry up,” said the gruffest version of the same voice so far.
“Felix!” Chastised Chasity.
He appeared next to Calix at the door and blew her a k**s. She rolled her eyes. Her three mates’ footsteps echoed in the hallway.
“They’re quite…um…” I searched for the right words.
“Overbearing, overprotective, possessive, pushy, impatient,” offered Chasity.
I giggled, shocked to hear a Luna speak this way of her Alphas. So raw. Despite her choice of words to describe them, I could feel how dearly she loved them. She was just teasing them.
“Does the Queen know you’re here?” I wondered aloud.
Chasity snorted with laughter. “That powder puff is not the rightful leader of this pack…Harper is actually,” said Chasity.
I was shocked to hear her speak my twin’s name. I smiled.
“She knows though,” said Chasity.
“Really? You woke the Fae Queen up at this hour?” I asked incredulously.
My great grandmother was not easy to get along with.
“She has a thing for Alex,” said Chasity offhandedly. “He always impresses her with his extensive knowledge of Fae items.”
We both giggled.
“How do you manage with four mates?” She asked me.
“You’re asking me? I should be asking you. You’ve actually married your triplets already and produced heirs,” I said.
“Oh, yeah, I am the expert here,” said Chasity dismissively leaning back against my bed’s headboard.
I felt like I was at a sleepover and we were discussing school crushes despite the gravity of being a Luna to several Alphas and being tasked with carrying on their lineage.
“I would say…I learnt to treat them individuals not as one Alpha with several parts,” said Chasity.
I listened intently.
“If I’m angry with let’s say Felix, which I usually am,” said Chasity with a giggle. “I don’t let Alex or Calix get affected by it.”
“If I promised Calix something, Alex pissing me off won’t make me break that promise,” she continued.
“If I was meant to spend the afternoon with Felix, getting in a fight with Calix won’t spoil that,” said Chasity.
“Am I making sense?” She asked.
I nodded emphatically.
I had already messed up on this regard.
“I already did something bad,” I admitted.
“What?” She asked.
I sighed.
“I almost rejected all four of them because I was furious at two of them,” I confessed.
She gasped.
“An official rejection?” She inquired.
I nodded shamefully. “Noah covering my mouth was the only thing that stopped me.”
Chasity’s expression was hard to read.
“I wondered for a long time what to do about the triplets,” she said. “I didn’t actually want to reject them. I wanted to just run away,” admitted Chasity.
“Runaway? Without rejecting them?” I clarified, shocked.
“Yeah, cowardly, I know,” said Chasity with a shrug.
“But then the bond would be intact. Without a formal rejection, it would never break. They would love you forever. They’d never be able to move on,” I said.
Chasity nodded. “But I couldn’t bear to reject them. I thought they might reject me,” she said.
“Why?” I asked, shocked. “You grew up together! They probably felt puppy love for you for years,” I added, giggling.
Chasity made a face. “They were always bullying me,” whined Chasity and then she burst into laughter at her own tone.
“That is awful, though,” I said, in all fairness.
“Yes,” said Chasity. “Felix was the worst actually, then Alex. Calix was ok. We probably would’ve been childhood friends if not for his elder brothers.”
“The youngest Quad and I get along well also,” I said eagerly. Zaya.
“Zaya,” I said softly. “At least we were getting along,” I said, sighing. He had left on bad terms.
Chasity perked up at the name Zaya. “Zaya’s mind is the Star channel twenty-four seven, no commercial breaks,” said Chasity.
I burst into laughter and so did Chasity.
“He was pouty when he showed up to return this,” said Chasity, showing me the snow globe.
I felt guilty.
“Do you love him?” Asked Chasity.
“Yes,” I said, without question.
“And the others?” said Chasity.
“I love all of them. Zaya. Eli. Noah. Even Jonah,” I said.
Chasity looked puzzled. “Why is it even Jonah? What did he do?”
“He has a girlfriend,” I said.
“Has, as in present tense?” Asked Chasity, her eyes widening.
I nodded.
“Oh hell no!” Chasity exclaimed.
I snorted with laughter.
Chasity was outraged. “He has to break up with her immediately if he wants to be with you!” demanded Chasity. “My Alphas dumped their girlfriends on my eighteenth birthday without even seeing me. They just caught my scent and realised I was their mate.”
“The curse…” I began.
“Bullshit. No excuses,” She said.
I giggled.
“Has him having another girl in the picture broke the curse?” Asked Chasity, raising her eyebrows.”
“No,” I said.
“Exactly,” said Chasity. “Don’t let these guys push you around. You’re the Luna. They need to respect you. And so does the pack. If the whole pack sees him dangling another girl in front of your face and you don’t do anything about it…other members might see you as an easy target among the pack leaders when they want their own way,” explained Chasity.
“I’d rather argue all day with my triplets until the situation is sorted out to my liking than pretend to be fine and detach from them inside…until the point where I want to reject the bond. Go ahead and argue…a lot!” Said Chasity, laughing.
I laughed too.
“I promised to give you my advice not good advice,” said Chasity.
I burst into laughter. “I think your advice is good advice though, Chasity,” I said and I meant that.
Chasity winked at me. She pulled me into a hug and I hugged her back tightly, happy to be cared for by a new friend.
