'Promise yourself that you'll take care of her. I don't want her and her wolf to suffer anymore,' I heard my wolf said politely to me and that was the first time he had after a long time.
"I promise," I said as I started to comb Beatrix's hair with my fingers and hoped that Beatrix will be healed soon.
Calvin
I was up way before Beatrix and I got mom to help me prepare a bowl of porridge for Beatrix when she wake up later.
I have yet to apologize to my family for my attitude and act towards them for the whole time when Beatrix was taken away. I knew I should have appreciated them better because they were the only ones who didn't abuse me verbally for what I did to Beatrix.
"Mom..." I called when she just entered the kitchen from sending Jean some food.
"Beatrix is awake, Calvin. You may want to bring her the porridge now," Mom interjected me. She smiled warmly at me and then scooped a generous amount of porridge into the bowl. I nodded and then took a tray and a glass of water.
"All ready," Mom smiled.
"Thank you Mom," I said, kissing her cheeks and then went up the stairs carefully with the tray of food in my hands.
I was nervous. I wondered what Beatrix would think of me. The last time the both of us talked was when we argued. I wondered if she had forgiven me already. I wondered if she missed me like I missed her. I was wondering too much that I didn't realize that I reached her room already until Brody invited me in.
Everyone else was there; Beatrix's parents, the Alpha and Luna, Sally, Brody and Rose. And then my eyes landed on Beatrix who was sitting on the bed - her back supported by a pillow and both of her hands on her lap.
I walked slowly towards her, my eyes never leaving her and then carefully, I lowered the tray onto her bed before her mom took the bowl and started to feed Beatrix.
We were less than a meter away from each other and my wolf was going crazy on the inside for me to go over to Beatrix and hugged her tightly; never letting go. But I was forced to step away from the bed because Brody whispered something about the alpha wanting to ask Beatrix some questions.
I obeyed, standing next to Brody at one corner of the room, far away from the bed and listened to the alpha asking her sister some questions.
"How are you feeling, baby sister?"
"Good," she said, emotionless.
I cringed and I could feel my heart break. That was what people call karma. I used to hurt her by liking someone else and now Beatrix was doing the exact same thing.
"He cared for me a lot. He took care of me. He loved me. He cherished me and on the day our pack attacked his territory, I was the one who requested for him to take me with him - away from everybody."
"What the hell do you think you're doing?! He's a freaking bloodsucker and you know none of our species can get well with each other!" Alpha Eddie roared.
"That's why he returned me and I am not very happy about that," Beatrix admitted and I could feel myself wanting to cry. I should be strong; was what I kept chanting in my head.
"Oh gosh! You're definitely not thinking straight. Then what about the bruises on your body? Is that what you mean by the bloodsucker loving you?"
"He didn't do this. In fact, he saved me from more. It was another rogue - a werewolf."
"We have a lot of rogues down in our basement. When you're well, we'll go down and you'll identify which one of them had hurt you and we'll think of a punishment. Right now, I want you to rest because... you're clearly aren't thinking very well," Alpha Eddie chided and stormed out of the room.
