My Mate's Choice

My Mate's Choice 15

I met Celina, the Luna while on my way in and asked her for Beatrix. She said Beatrix was with the Alpha, talking about Beatrix's mate. At first I thought they would be talking about me. But then Celina gushed, "Beatrix and Brody are so cute!" And I lost it all.

I went to the Alpha's room and heard everything. I heard everything that Alpha Eddie told Beatrix and Beatrix didn't say anything about objecting them, which made my wolf whimper; knowing that we were going to lose our mate forever.

Talking to Beatrix about it, it made my wolf cried too; because Beatrix seemed to not care about us. She didn't even show that she probably didn't want to follow her brother's instruction. It was as though, she really wanted to be mated to someone else.

"Calvin, what are you talking about?" Sean hissed as he got up from the seat he was on. He walked towards me and wrapped one arm around me tightly before turning back to the Alpha. "Alpha, I believe my Calvin is bullshitting right now. Please excuse us," he said and was about to turn me around and usher me out of the room but I quickly pushed him away.

"I am not bullshitting. I am not lying!" I yelled like someone who was under a great depression. And not to mention I was still pulling my hair and I had tears streaming down my face. "I cannot do this anymore. I am suffering. My wolf is suffering!"

"Calvin just shut up and get out already!" Sean hissed as he tried to drag me out of the room and to my surprise, the Alpha himself stopped him.

"Wait Sean. Let me have a conversation with him."

"Please Alpha, please..." I practically ran to him and on my knees, begging. I wanted him to believe me that Beatrix was really my mate. I wanted to beg him to take back everything about Beatrix and Brody mating.

"This is not professional Calvin. Come on sit up and we can talk like men," the Alpha said and then I felt an arm lifting me up to my feet. It was my brother. He ushered me to sit on the chairs provided and he too, sat with me. The Alpha sat opposite us and raised an eyebrow at me, waiting for me to speak.

I wanted to start with 'where do I start' but there wasn't enough time for my nervousness and wasting of time. I spilled everything from the time I bumped onto Beatrix in school and then towards our conversation, the night when Beatrix shifted and I was there, our fights, the night when my wolf had scratched her by accident, the night when I stayed overnight and yesterday when Beatrix met me in school and she gone mad when she found out what I had done with Valerie.

"You hurt my Beatrix!" I heard the Alpha said and then I felt a punch on my left cheek.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I chanted, "I am at fault. I want to apologize. I'm ready to let Valerie know that Beatrix is my mate."

"I'm so disappointed with you Calvin," I heard my brother said next and right after that, the door was being flung open and the Luna and Valerie walked in.

"Valerie, I need to tell you something," I spoke immediately and walked towards her but the Luna stopped me.

"Not now Calvin," the Luna told me in her authorized tone but her face was frowning.

"What is it dear?" I heard the Alpha asked.

"Beatrix is being taken by the rogues!" The Luna informed panicked which got me in panic as well.

"What?!" I fell onto my knees.

I saw Valerie quickly went to my side and she explained, "I was with Beatrix and we were just strolling in the woods when a group of men came and surrounded us. They said they only wanted one person and Beatrix offered herself. The men told me to let the Alpha know that they want to declare war - which makes me assume that they were the rogues."

"Oh goodness, my mate," I cried.

I was in the room, the clinic room where Beatrix was last on her bed rest. I couldn't scent her but I acted as thought I could feel her in here with me.

A group of men was already being sent out to track Beatrix and the rogues but none of them had come home with good news yet.

Alpha Eddie was mad at me after I told him the truth but it was soon replace with concern when he heard about Beatrix's loss. Beatrix... why did she offer herself? What made me feel worst was that, she was with Valerie. Beatrix had always be the one to give in. This time, did she give in too and let the rogues took her away so that Valerie would be safe?

Urgh! Nothing made sense anymore.

"Calvin?" A voice called and I looked up immediately, expecting Beatrix but it was actually Valerie.

"Valerie," I acknowledged her and looked back down.

"I'm sorry," I heard Valerie said, the moment she took the empty space next to me.

"For what?" I asked.

"Because they took Beatrix away," she said and then I recalled that I hadn't got the chance to tell Valerie about Beatrix being my mate.

Turning to her so that I was facing her, I started, "I have to tell you something."

"If you wanna tell me about Beatrix and you, then I already know," Valerie said, causally.

"Since when?" I asked, surprised.

Valerie shrugged, "I'm not sure. But I kept scenting her on you. I wasn't very sure if Beatrix was really your mate and you, didn't say anything to me. But it was all confirmed when you're now so broken that Beatrix is gone."

"I'm sorry Val..."

"No, don't be. If anything, I should be the one. I didn't mean to come in between you and Beatrix. If I really had known it earlier, I wouldn't even think of still sticking around with you. Not that I wanted you out of my life. It's just that you've been a very great friend and help to me all these while and now, I want to return the favour."

Valerie tapped my shoulder and I pulled her in for a hug. A burden was now off my shoulder which left me with one and only one thing to focus on; Finding Beatrix.
