My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 69

"Calvin?" I called for him and when he didn't answer, I started shouting for him.

Suddenly I felt a pair of arms around my waist and I squealed in horror. When I turned around, Calvin was there smiling but his smile fell when he saw my face.

"Gosh Beatrix, why did you cry? I was just playing around," he said and I smacked his chest.

"I thought something happened," I said and sniffed, only to realize that I had started tearing.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry," he said and then pulled me into a hug. He stroked my back and then pulled back when I started to speak.

"It's so dark in here, anything could happen. I couldn't see you and I'm worried if if..."

"If?"

"If Gabriel got a hold of you," I finally said what was on my mind.

"No, I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to make you worried. It was a foolish thought to play around right now. Let's get back home," he said. "I'll give you a piggy-back ride?"

I nodded and forced a smile. I took his offered and climbed onto his back. He held me firmly and I knew I was safe. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my head on his shoulder.

I wanted to so badly accept him right now as my mate but I was also aware that some part of me and my heart still doubted on Calvin. I shouldn't but I couldn't fully open my heart to accept Calvin in. Someday I will, but not today. However, I wasn't going to let him go nonetheless and with that, I tightened my arms around his neck and leaned deeper into him.

I was pretty much exhausted from the evening play and right after I showered and had dinner, I wanted nothing more than to crawl into my bed and sleep. But I wanted to wait for Calvin.

However, he was taking too long downstairs talking to his brother, the Beta. I tried to stay awake by reading a book but my eyelids were getting too heavy to stay awake.

I only ended waking up when I felt someone moving me. I opened my eyes wide and I when I saw Calvin, my eyes softened.

"Did I wake you up? I'm sorry. You were in sitting position and your novel was on your chest so I wanted to put you into a comfortable position," Calvin explained. He helped me get under the covers and then tucked it right under my chin. He then leaned down and kissed my forehead before heading to the couch - his couch.

"Hmm Calvin," I called. I was hesitating because I was shy but if I didn't ask, I would miss him - if that was even possible seeing he was just across the same room.
