Chapter 4

-Beta Yves-

We fall on the carpeted floor of someone's room here in the packhouse. I sighed when I had smelled that familiar scent. It was my ex's room here in the packhouse. I sat up and saw her wearing a towel that just got out of the bathroom. She was sexy and smells sweet and fragrant. I had seen her body many times when we are together.

'Hi, sorry...' I said, looking down at my mate. Is she asleep or did she fainted?

'What are you doing here?' Rica asked looking down at the unconscious Minerva.

'Well, she tried to teleport back to the Blue Kingdom three times and we ended up here.' I explain.

'Is she okay?'

I shrugged not looking back at her. I roll her to me until she was leaning her back on my chest then I carried her.

'Can you please open the door?' I asked her politely. She nods and opens it for us. I can't help but be still attracted to her. She was my first love and we make great things together. 'Thank you.' I smiled a little, she just smiles back.

I am tired of teleporting but I need to carry her at least to my room until we fall on the bed. I open the door with my left hand then I pushed the door and use my foot to close it behind. I recite the spell that Zoë told me to undo it. Then I put her gently on the bed. I removed her boots then I covered the duvet to her. I fall next to her. I slipped on the duvet and cuddles to her.

I suddenly feel a pain in my stomach... the feeling of guilty by looking at my ex. But I can't stop the feeling that I was still in love with her and attracted to her. I breathe and just sleep, guilty.

I woke up without her on my side. I immediately sat up which makes my head hurts. I look around my room and I just hear the door closes. Then I run outside following her downstairs. I saw my sister Yhana with her fiancé. She looks puzzled looking at Minerva.

'Minerva, where are you going?' I asked her while following her.

Dina look worried when she saw Minerva. I can't see her expression! When she got out already outside the packhouse there's a bulldozer and a truck outside. She didn't even take a look at me before she gets in. But I saw her handshaking.

I didn't even have a chance to say 'take care of yourself. Or even kiss. Then Gabriel beeps the truck and I just stand there while watching them go away.

As I went back to the packhouse Yhana is crossing her hand staring at me while Dina looks away. What did I do?

'What?'

'Why is she crying?' my sister asked. She's crying? 'Her eyes are burning like she's going to burn us inside here. What did you do to her?' she started interrogating me.

'I don't know! I don't even know why she acted that way but I know that I have done nothing to her.' I said in frustration.

I have done nothing to her? I need to think about what I did wrong to her. Is it because I tied her to me, or not letting her go earlier? No, she won't act that way. What is the better reason why I make her cry or do I make her cry? I look at Dina. Maybe she knew something.

'I am not going to tell anything.' She said putting her hands up. I look at Terence.

'I don't know anything.' He defends himself.

'Dina, please tell me.' She glares at me then she walked out teleporting somewhere.

'Where did she go?' Terence asked furrowing at me.

All-day I run around the territory checking the securities if there are rogues then checking on how the training goes on with the next third in Command, Marcus. I am still thinking of Minerva. Why is she crying? I can't bear seeing her hurt... maybe but I didn't saw her crying. I wanted to know what she looks like and what I will feel.

Nathan told me to continue to dig an underground compound for the security if ever there's a war above ground. Our mechanics had put very tough security. We also put laser lights and securities that are high techs.

I got back to the packhouse and saw everyone that are preparing for the Christmas party tomorrow. It is our tradition that we will gather in the big hall for the pack's Christmas party. But I can't be here tomorrow because the Queen which is my friend Zoë had invited me to their royal Christmas party. I know that it will be my first time not to be with my pack in this Christmas Eve.

There's a giant Pine tree that is made as a Christmas tree full of string lights and Christmas balls, etc. There are gifts under the Christmas tree. I smiled at Rica who is helping to decorate. She waves at me and smiled back. I just nod and turn back. I walk upstairs to my room. I still don't have any gift for my mate but I already had a gift for my ex. Oh! This is crazy! I should have just stayed in our home than here in the packhouse.

I look around my room. It is a bit messy. There are scissors and clothing. Then there's the dress that she wore yesterday and the sweater that she wears. Then there's the robe that she wears on the floor. I pick it all and smell her scent. It was a garden-like smell. Very relaxing and like in heaven. My wolf Gray is kind of missing her now. Six hours had passed when she left.

I had taken a bath already and when I had got out of the bathroom Rica is smiling. She lifts the box in fancy covers that she is holding.

'Hi, sorry that I get in without your permission.'

'It's okay, I don't mind.' I said smiling. My wolf growls at me from my mind but I push him away.

'Since that, you will be going to the Blue Moon tomorrow I wanted to give you my gift.' I walk towards her and she gave it to me.

'Thank you.' I smile at her. I sat on the edge of my bed then I open it. It was a sweater with a Beta sign. I can guess that she made it herself. 'This is beautiful.' I said to her.

'I made that two months ago.' She said. Didn't her mate get jealous about this?

'Thank you, Rica.' She said that we are friends and we are. But I always felt the past when we were young.

'It's nothing. You are special to me. So I have to think about the best gift that I can give to you. Okay, I go ahead. I will help Dustin on the gift wrapping.'

I nod.

After she had left, my wolf scowls at me. He kept on blaming me that I am cheating on my mate. That I am hurting her. I feel guilty again. My back burns and I rush to my whole mirror turning my back to look at it. There is a mark there. It's like a tattoo. I don't know what kind of mark it is but it was like a spiral with an M in the middle and a β beta sign. It was burning like the anger of a Goddess. I quickly put my clothes on and run downstairs. I started looking for Dina and asked everyone where in hell she is.
