My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 5

I watched Jean saying some things to Beatrix and then pointed to my direction. I was afraid that Valerie would notice but the moment Beatrix's eyes met mine, I lost it. I just looked at her and at the point, I could hear nothing else. I had her all filled in my mind, until she looked away.

Oh I knew she was still upset with me.

She took the bear nonetheless and led Jean to the food section. I saw them picking up food before settling on one of the couches not far from mine. Sally came shortly to join them. It surprised me a little on how Jean could be so close to Beatrix. Probably because living here and seeing Beatrix everyday made them become close.

So did I regret moving out of the pack house? I honestly had no idea.

It was a really cool evening and the background music just made it calmer. All the time, my eyes didn't left wherever Beatrix was going except when Valerie needed my attention somehow.

At 9, the alpha gathered everyone to the middle of the room where the cake was waiting. It was a two-tier cake and it was pink. We quickly sang happy birthday for her and I watched how she smiled when people wished her Happy Birthday some more.

"Do you think we should go home now?" Valerie asked me once she finished her share of birthday cake. "It's getting late and I still have some more homework that is not completed yet."

I glanced at my watch which stated 9:45pm. I didn't wanna leave yet with two reasons. I wanted to be with my mate and second, I knew Beatrix would need me when it was time for her to shift tonight.

"Hmm, I actually want to stay the night here. I have missed my little sister. Do you think I could send you home and head back here?" It wasn't a complete lie. I had missed Jean a lot but there wasn't exactly the reason I was going to stay.

"Sure," Valerie agreed right away, "You can take your bag for school as well, and then I'll just meet you in school tomorrow."

"Sounds good. Let's go," I said, pulling Valerie's hand.

"Wait, I'm just gonna speak to the birthday girl for a while." I sighed - I didn't want to upset Beatrix further. I offered to wait in the car.

Beatrix

I totally had forgotten that I would be shifting for the first time tonight. It totally slipped off my mind and one thing I was sure of was that I wasn't ready to shift.

The rest of the pack members said their goodnight and happy birthday to me again before going on their separate ways to their room and houses.

"Hey Jean, come you need to go to bed," Sean, the Beta called. He was Jean's brother. All these while I didn't know that Jean had two brothers. I always thought it was only Jean and Sean. I didn't know Calvin was also part of their family. Well actually I never knew Calvin existed in our pack. Not until I recognized his scent earlier and learned that he was my mate.

"But I want to play with Beatrix," Jean frowned.

"You can play with her again tomorrow. Now she needs to rest," Lana, the Beta's mate coaxed Jean.

Jean gave in soon after and followed Sean and Lana to send her to her room. I was now left with my parents, my brother and Celina, his mate in the living room. Were they really going to send me off this early to shift? It was only... 10:15pm.
