My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 2

"Happy Birthday Beaaaaaa," she said and flung her arms around my neck, pulling me for a hug.

"Thank you Sally," I said and tapped her forehead where her bangs were resting on.

"I've got something for you," she said and went to dig inside her backpack. Her hand came out a few seconds later with a box, wrapped in floral wrapper.

I snatched it away from her and asked while grinning, “Why did you have to wrap this thing? Can I open it now?"

"Yes you can but if you do, we're gonna be late for lesson because Maths will start in less than 2 minutes and you haven't gotten your books out from your lockers," Sally told me in almost one breath.

"Oh girl can't you talk any faster?" I asked sarcastically but quickly opened up my locker and took the books I needed for Maths and walked with Sally to Maths.

She was an awesome best friend that anyone could ask for. I didn't need like a group of girls to be my friends which people will then call a group of whores or sluts nor did I need to be known by the whole campus because I have Sally.

"RING!"

Oh finally it's lunch. Why did time have to pass so slow today? Or was it just me? I was getting real impatient to meet my mate even though I wasn't sure whether I would meet him today, tomorrow, next month or whenever. But I just got a feeling that I would meet him today.

I tried sniffing around during Maths, Music and Geography but I couldn't find that sweet smell of my mate. How did I know that it's sweet? Well, that was what Celina and Mom told me. They said our mate would forever smell sweet to us.

"I'm gonna return some books in the library first," Sally said and told me to get a seat in the cafeteria first. I nodded and headed straight towards the cafeteria.

The moment I entered the cafeteria, I sensed it. The smell was so sweet and so refreshing that I never could get used to. I looked around, trying to find where the smell came from but it got mixed up with the other scents like my brother's, Celina's, the beta's and even humans.

The smell became stronger and stronger like it was coming to me. People were probably looking at me like I was some mad woman sniffing but this was my only way to find deeper for the smell. For my mate's smell.

"Have you gotten any seat?" A voice asked me from behind, shocking and pausing myself from searching for my mate's scent.

I sighed. "Not yet," I answered Sally. I turned back into the cafeteria and the scent seemed to just disappeared, making me sigh even louder.

"What's wrong?" Sally asked.

"Nothing," I lied, "You go get a seat while I put my books in the locker."

With that I just walked away. I was close, very close to finding my mate. I couldn't blame Sally for interrupting me because I was at the same time confused and mixed up with other scents in the cafeteria. Plus, the cafeteria wasn't a small space.

I walked lazily towards my locker when someone banged on me from the back, causing me to fell forward but a pair of arms quickly captured me before I got the chance I never wanted to kiss the floor. My nostrils were buried in this pair of arm's sleeved shirt and that was when I smelt it again.

"Thank you," I smiled.

"Calvin and I will definitely be there at your party tonight. Right babe?" She asked Calvin, my mate.

"Hmm, are you two living in the pack house?" I asked. There were a few families in the pack house and I had never seen them around before except that this girl looked so familiar.

"Oh, nope. We live in a cottage nearby the pack house," Valerie answered, "Calvin's family lives in the pack house though. Mine... well mine has passed away from the war with the rogue last two years."

I remembered now!

Last two years, my pack, The Red Crescent Pack was attack by a big group of rogues. We didn't manage to call for help because it all happened too suddenly. We lost many pack members, making our whole pack now became a little smaller. And Valerie, she suffered the most during that big war.

Valerie lost her mate, her little brother as well as both of her parents. She was considered the werewolf facing the most loss. Everyone pitied her. She was always lonely and quiet. I was busy growing up that I didn't watch how she actually grew from being so depressed over her lost to very talkative.

"I'm sorry," I finally said.

"It's okay. I'm good now, especially with my awesome boyfriend here with me, I'm fine," Valerie told me happily and intertwined her fingers with... Calvin's.
