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.

"I'm fine," she said and I knew she was lying. "Why did you bring me here?"

"We need to talk," I answered.

"About what?"

"About us," I whispered.

"There are no us," Beatrix said shortly after and it broke my heart to still hearing those words from her. Hadn't she accepted me in yet?

"You're my mate, Beatrix. I want to be with you. I heard what you said to Sally the other time in her room. Did you not really see how much I want to be with you, how much my heart yearns for you? Did you really not, Beatrix?"

Beatrix shut her eyes and then slowly opened them and looked at me, "I see something else."

"What is it?"

"I see how much of hatred you have for Matt when we walked down the stairs when Matt acknowledged me. I felt how your hands gripped on my wrist because you were trying to control your anger upon seeing Valerie, back with her true mate. I tried to see something else in your eyes, but after I saw Valerie with you just now, I'm starting to feel that you just pity me and it was the Alpha's orders," Beatrix assumed. Once she was finished, she got up from the rock and wanted to walk away.
