I was only at my first step up the stairs when I was being yanked and pulled into the empty guest room. Gaining myself from shock, I looked at the culprit who yanked me and thought, not again.
"What?" I spat.
"I overheard your conversation with your brother. You cannot be mated to him!"
"And why not?"
"Beatrix, I'm your mate. I'm planning to let everyone knows today, including Valerie," Calvin informed as he took both of my hands in his.
"Why so sudden?"
"I'm so tired of us being like this. I cannot stand being away from you. I cannot stand you being angry at me, all the time. Plus, we can't just think about ourselves. Our wolves are suffering the same or perhaps even much more," Calvin said.
I smirked cynically. "You never thought of this entire thing, all these while. So stop acting like you care because I sure know that you don't. Isn't it a good thing that I'm gonna be mated to Brody? I love him and I'm giving you the chance to be with Valerie."
Calvin's jaws clenched and he gripped my upper arm, pulling me close to him, "You cannot love him! I'm your mate and you're not supposed to love someone else."
"I'm your mate and you're not supposed to love someone else," I mocked him, "Look who's talking Calvin."
"It's the Alpha's order and I'm obeying him," I continued and pushed him backward, to release myself. I didn't give the chance for Calvin to speak again as I ran out of the room and out of the house. I really wanted a walk.
"Hey Beatrix," I was stopped by while walking past the garden. I looked at the person and thought; of course he would bring her along. He brought her to everywhere.
"Hey Valerie," I said back.
"Going somewhere?" she asked nicely.
"Erm nope, just a walk," I answered, trying to be polite even though I couldn't. It wasn't Valerie's fault. It was Calvin's - I kept reminding myself.
"Mind if I tag along?"
"Erm, sure."

It was totally awkward to be walking with my mate's girlfriend. We talked about mostly school stuff and I tried to avoid the relationship or even mate's topic.
"Do you know who your mate is, Beatrix?" Valerie asked, out of a sudden.
"Hmmm? Oh, I don't yet," I lied, trying to cover the awkwardness in my voice. If only she knew.
