Chapter 46: Meeting Chasity's Gaze Felix Chasity was gone and I was freaking the f**k out looking for her. "CHASITY!!!" lyelled, running down the hallway, ripping doors open below deck.

"She's not on the main deck," said Alex breathlessly, coming into view.

"She slipped away after lunch," said Calix.

"Let’s try not to panic.

I saw her rushing off." "Yeah! To use the bathroom! Or so she said! So where is she?" Idemanded.

My mind and heart were racing.

"She's hiding in the captain's room," said one of the crew.

We had already sent half the crew looking for her when she did not come backfrom the "bathroom" after fifteen minutes.

We were now going on thirty minutes sans Chasity.

I growled, making the crew member jump though it was not directed at him.

I marched towards the the captain's control room.

The captain was there, steering the ship.

He was a huge werewolf with deep brown skin and a clean-shaven head under his hat.

"Rocco!" I said, grabbing his shoulders as Alex and Calix burst into the room behind me.

Captain Rocco quickly put his finger to his lips and pointed at an ajar door that led to a room where the captain took his break.

We sometimes called it the lunch room as it had a huge dining table and a sectional couch so many crew members ate there insteadof the actual crew dining rooms.

The Luna came in looking for privacy.

Sorry to alarm you Alpha! Seems like she's trying to surprise you.

Didn't want to disobey the little lass's orders, chuckled Rocco.

peeked into the room.

It was empty now with just a few scattered plates and napkins on the table and downto the very end of the table was Chasity, her eyes focused on something she was hiding under the table in her lap.

I smiled slightly.

I was just so relieved she was okay.

Alex and Calix peeked in at her too.

She could have told us she needed a minute, said Alex pointedly.

We need to have the Luna Safety discussion with her.

Aren't we already having the Therapy Discussion later today? Asked Calix.

Yeah, that might be too many discussions for one day, I reluctantly admitted.

I'll pencilit in for tomorrow, said Alex, taking out his notebook.

Ugh.

Alex was never without a notebook.

Why didn't he just type memos into his phone like a normal person?

Chasity looked up suddenly and we all instinctively ducked and hid.

I heard the sound of her little footsteps coming towards us.

"I know you're there spying," she said, arms akimbo standing in the doorway.

We slowly came out of our hiding places.

"You need to tell us when you want to go off on your own Luna!" Said Alex sternly.

I had thought the safety discussion was tomorrow! "You lied," I said.

If we were talking about it now, I figured I might as well hash it all out.

"No, I didn't," snapped Chasity.

"I peed before I came here!" Calix snorted with laughter at the mention of the word "pee" because he was somature as you all know already.

Alex took a deep breath.

He was going to list things out.

I could feel it.

we had overreacted but this was a ship.

There was no time to waste if someone is missing at sea.

"Luna," I said sternly.

"We have stopped the ship mid-voyage! We have divers in the water already looking for you in case you fell overboard! We have half the crew looking foryou instead of manning the ship or doing their usual duties! We have...

"Alex just wants you to communicate with us so we don't stress any third parties out, ok, Goddess?" Interjected Calix, pullingChasity into him.

She wrapped her arms around his waist.

I sighed.

She looked up at him.

"Are you finished then? With whatever you were doing?" Asked Calix.

Chasity nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry," she said begrudgingly.

"Please let everyone go back to what they were doing before," she mumbled.

Calix nuzzled her making her giggle.

I mind linked several crew members to get the word out and get those diving back inside.
