My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 15

"I'm not gonna reject you!" I said, firmly. I didn't hug Beatrix, to calm her down despite knowing that it would calm her wolf down.

"Why?" She asked. Her voice was shivering and she was close to tearing.

"I just cannot. I'm your mate..."

"No! You're the creature that has been eating me alive with your unclear signals. If you want Valerie, you already have her so let me go. Don't let me live with no direction to go. Don't you think I deserve to be happy?"

I remained silent. I had no answers. Beatrix was right about me taking care of Valerie's heart. I didn't want Valerie to get heartbroken when she found out about me and Beatrix. Valerie had enough of losing people in her life. But I wasn't literally shamed of Beatrix that I had to pull her into the empty classroom to talk to her. When talking to her, sometimes my wolf couldn't resist touching her or even kissing her. I couldn't show the public, those. Valerie might find out.

Reflecting on what Beatrix had said, I really was taking care too much of Valerie's heart.

Pushing me backwards, Beatrix created a space for her to turn around and unlocked the door before running out, leaving me still clueless in the empty classroom.

I was already in History's classroom, waiting for the minute for Beatrix to walk in. I wanted to apologize to her and I wanted her to understand me, even if it was a hard thing to do. Everyone else was already piling in, including Mr Rama.

Beatrix came in lazily, a few seconds after Mr Rama greeted the class. "Ah, late again Miss Anderson?"

"Yes. Sorry," Beatrix muttered. I realized her face was pale and her eyes looked tired. I sighed quietly, knowing she had been crying and it was all because of me.

"Sorry accepted for being late, but not for not keeping the class' homework in the cupboard like I had instructed," Mr Rama said in his loud voice.

"Sorry. I was in a rush," Beatrix said, looking down on the floor but not showing any sign that she was scared. She just looked like she can't be bothered.

"It's not an excuse. Detention this afternoon, Miss Anderson," Mr Rama informed calmly. Jolting up from my seat, I got his attention. "Any problem Mr Young?"

"Yes, Mr Rama. In my opinion, you have been a little harsh on Miss Anderson and almost for no reason."

"No reason? Are you trying to back her up? If you are then I suggest don't."

I wasn't very upset. I was more to angry. I actually had shown Calvin that I was jealous because he was paying much more attention to Valerie instead of me. I shouldn't have opened my big mouth. I should just probably kick him in his balls and left the empty classroom.

When History was over, Mr Rama 'offered' to escort me and Calvin to the detention room, much to my unhappiness. I thought I could get away this time but I saw no hope and reluctantly followed him until we reach the detention room.

"Detention will go on for two hours. I will inform the teacher in charge of the two of you, so don't bother running away. Especially you Miss Anderson," Mr Rama nagged before he walked away.

I went into the detention room and sighed when there wasn't anyone around. It probably would be just me and Calvin until a few hours. I took the seat nearest to the window and was praying that Calvin would understand that I need my own space.

But he didn't, and took the seat next to mine. I shut my eyes tight and leaned my forehead against my hand on the desk.

"Beatrix, I'm sorry," I heard Calvin said after that few minutes of silence. I didn't look up but instead, remained stiff like I had fallen asleep.

"I'm really sorry I had to be a jerk to you. I didn't mean to take care of Valerie's heart more than yours. I don't wanna hurt Valerie, but I don't wanna hurt you either. I like Valerie a lot, but I love you and with the wolf bonds, I just know that I cannot live without you."
