My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 4

"Thanks Mom, and tell Dad the same thing too," I said and wanted to walk up to my room but my mom yanked me back.

"Why are you so moody?"

"Mom I'm having a bad stomach ache now. I need to rest," I lied.

"Oh dear. I hope you'll be fine by the party tonight. Where is Eddie? Shouldn't he be driving you home since you're sick? Oh that boy I'm gonna..."

"Mom, can I go up now?" I asked, cutting my mom's ranting.

"Oh of course sweetheart. Just call me if you need anything," Mom told me and I nodded, making my way up to my room and dropped myself on the bed - face down. I sniffed my favourite pillow and suddenly, I just started tearing.

I wanted Calvin so badly. I wanted to hug and kiss him but those privileges belonged to Valerie.

No wonder they said not to be too happy nor excited over some things. I was too excited and impatient to find my mate and to get to know him. Now that I have found him, it was nothing pleasant at all. I'd have to live, watching him live with someone else.

I wasn't going to tell Valerie. Even though I have all the right to, I wouldn't. Like Calvin, I probably wouldn't want to hurt Valerie. She had lost everything and now she had the only one to depend on and I was sure that she'd be devastated to have lost him too.

I just know I had to sacrifice.

"Oh darla your black circles under eyes need a major covering up," Celina told me as she applied another tons of concealer on my under-eye. She was in charge of getting me ready for the party that will start in... Less than 20 minutes. It wasn't really like a party; more of an evening get-together because there wasn't going to be alcohols. Not that I was a big fan of alcohol.

Will Valerie and Calvin show up like she had said?

"Who will be there later?" I asked Celina while she was curling my dark brown hair with the curling wand.

"Of course the whole pack, silly."

"Thank you Jean," I thanked her and smiled. She handed me small teddy bear plush toy that she managed to hide behind her small back, grinning. "Oh thank you Jean, you didn't have to get me this."

"It's not from me," she frowned, "It's from my brother." Then she pointed to someone who was sitting on the couch, holding a glass of water.

Calvin

My eyes were glued on her the moment she took the first step down on the stairs. How could I not? The make up on her face just made them glow then the white dress she was on, waved as she moved. I wanted so badly to go to her and kiss her to wish her happy birthday but I didn't want Valerie to get suspicious.

My wolf hadn't stopped scolding me. Well he had actually been scolding me from the time I got together with Valerie. I just had to pretend that he didn't exist in me and ignored every single swearing and scolding he was giving me even though deep down I knew, he had all the rights to.

I had gotten Jean, my little sister to give Beatrix the little teddy bear that I had managed to get at the gift store before heading here. I had a small card within the teddy bear and I hope she would read them. All was done without Valerie's knowledge.
