My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 67

"Yes?" I asked, looking up but make sure I blinked back whatever tears that was about to flow.

"You said you don't have any present prepared for me," Calvin stated and I sighed.

"I don't," I confirmed.

"Well, I want one. Can we have a walk in the woods later?" He asked and I looked at him, hesitant. Should we go? I'd be reminded of all the times when we had in the woods even though back then it wasn't a pleasant one.

But he was trying, wasn't he? Wasn't that what I wanted? He wanted us; just the two of us to have a walk, to spend the time together. Maybe we could let our wolves out to play as well.

"Please, Beatrix? It's all I'm asking for," Calvin said and he sounded like he was begging.

"Okay," I said, soon after.

"Really? Alright. We'll go after lunch," Calvin said enthusiastically and left the room, waving at me.

I smiled, widely and got up, ready to shower and have my lunch and then have Calvin all to myself.

Calvin

I had nothing in mind but I knew I needed to talk to Beatrix about us, in private or whatever, I don't mind. But then I remembered that during her birthday, I had helped with her shifting and then our wolves played for a while.

I could do the same thing. We could talk first and then play to lose the tension a bit.

I rushed into my room and picked up something casual and then quickly hopped into the shower, already getting excited about going to the woods later.

It's gonna be my bestest birthday ever.

I waited outside the pack's house impatiently. When I got down the stairs, Beatrix was still in T-shirt and sweatpants and was eating bread with cheese at the dining table. When she saw me, she told me to wait for her outside while she quickly changed her clothes to something better. I did as told and now it's been 10 minutes.

"Hey Calvin," someone called and when I turned, I was expecting Beatrix. But no, it was Valerie.

"Hi," I said, trying to sound normal. I didn't know what to feel about Valerie now. Ever since Matt came back, she treated me like we never happened before which only made me feel a lot dumber for always choosing her over Beatrix.

"Happy birthday," she said.
