"I think we should let Beatrix rest like the Alpha ordered her to," Rose voiced out and one by one, the people who were gathered in her room left.
Brody had invited me out as well but I insisted that I wanted to stay. I was gonna talk to my mate because I had missed her and I wanted her to heal faster.
When everyone else had left, Rose gave me an eye signal for me to come closer to Beatrix while she disappeared into Beatrix's bathroom.
"Beatrix," I called for her longingly and the only replied I got was a very harsh one.
"What are you doing inside my room?"
Beatrix
I woke up feeling a whole lot better than the other night. I only managed to stay in peace for about a minute or two before everyone else started piling into my room.
And then my heart started beating fast when I recognized the all too well scent entering my room. He came with a tray of food and I had to fight all the urges to look at him.
But then, it was just me and him now. Everyone else had left because Eddie told them that I needed rest and Rose, the doctor now had disappeared as well. There was no way for me to confront this guy now or ever. There was no way for me to able to look at my mate the same way I did.
"Beatrix," he called me and I wished he had not. I didn't want to hear his voice. I didn't want to smell him. I didn't want to see him.
"What are you doing inside my room?" I asked him harshly. I wanted him to go away.
"Beatrix, I am so sorry," he dropped to his knees and then reached for my hand that was on the bed. I quickly pulled them back, shocked by the sudden electric feel that ran through my veins.
"Please leave," I said and this time, softer. I couldn't scream because I could feel lumps forming in my throat.
"Please leave," I repeated and then sank myself into my precious bed.

I woke up a few hours later when I felt something cold on my leg. I thought it was Calvin again but the moment I saw Sally, my best friend whom I haven't talk to in a long time, I smiled.
"Good afternoon sweetie pie," she said and then leaned to me and kissed my left cheek.
"Yes, I thought. But now, lying down here I didn't think I could love him. I still like him a lot but I don't know... He's the kindest one to me. He treats me well and he's actually the leader. He's quite good looking if you wanna know. And he always stood up to me whenever there's this another damn rogue abuse me," I told her and again, another silence before she spoke up again.
"Who's that torturer? I'm gonna let him suffer to his death," Sally said and I could detect a hint of both sadness and determination in her voice.
"I remember him," I said, "He has this ugly scar on his forehead and his name is Carlos."
"I believe his name is just as ugly as his face," Sally said angrily and then left me with another kiss on my right cheek, telling me to rest and then stomped off my room.
I wondered where she was going.
Calvin
Beatrix went through her day mostly in bed while I stayed outside, protecting her from afar because I knew she didn't want me near her. She told me to leave; to stay away from her. She was still mad at me. She still hadn't forgiven me. But I understood it all perfectly. She had the rights to.
I wanted to give her all the time to think and forgive me. I could wait forever. I just didn't want her to like or even love somebody else. I wanted her liking for the bloodsucker - Gabriel to fade. She was meant for me and I was meant for her. Nobody else could fit in.
