My Mate Had A Girlfriend novel Chapter 77

Trashing my phone away, I shifted into my wolf and jumped right out of the window. I was aware that the distant between our pack house and Brody's was far but I ran as fast as I could. Plus, my wolf was fully energized and he couldn't seem to bear the thoughts of anybody hurting Beatrix and her wolf especially after hearing her screaming earlier.

In no time, I reached the back doors of Brody's pack house. I entered through a window, shattering the glasses into pieces in the process and quickly ran to the living room where I could already hear Beatrix's voice, screaming for help.

I saw Brody at the second level, holding a basketball shorts. I sprinted up the stairs, ignoring Brody and the shorts and pushed open the door harshly. I just knew which room Beatrix was in from her voice.

True enough, Beatrix had her eyes closed but both of her hands were around her neck and she was begging to stop. There was no one else in the room but I was sure that to Beatrix, there was someone else. I shifted back quickly and went to her bed.

"Beatrix," I called, "Beatrix, come on wake up baby. I'm here," I coaxed. It took some time before Beatrix woke up in a startled state. She was perspiring so badly and her eyes were bloodshot. She looked around the room before her eyes focused on me.

"Calvin?"

"Yes, me. I'm here," I said softly to her, cupping her face and slowly trying to lay her back down on her pillow.

"I'm so scared Calvin. He came, and he said no one is going to protect me. He said you hate me, everybody hates me..." Beatrix rambled on, breathless but I quickly calmed her down. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me.

"I don't hate you. Nobody hates you. I'm here and I'm gonna protect you, from anything," I whispered in her hair as I stroked her hair.

"But but he said..."

"Shhh. It's okay. There's nobody here. I'll be here even when you wake up later, okay?" I said and lay myself back, bringing her with me. I kept stroking her back and caressing her hair until I hear her breathing became slow and steady that I knew she had fallen back to sleep.

And as I held her to sleep, I realized that ego shouldn't be in the dictionary when it comes to love and mates and especially in ours.
