Chapter 232
Judys POV horror in his Chester stared at me with a shocked expression , his mouth practically on the ground .
I could see the eyes , and it made me look away from him again .
I didnt want him to feel bad for me , but I also wanted to be honest with him about everything .
It seemed he was struggling with his own feelings and coming to terms that he found his mate … he didnt want to say it out loud , but I knew thats what was bothering him .
Its bothering Nan too and my heart was torn between the two of them .
I wanted them both to be happy and I knew that if they gave one another a proper chance , they could make each other happy .
But they both seemed frightened over the idea of having a mate … or maybe Nan was frightened of the idea of having Chester as a mate .
Her first couple of impressions of him werent great .
The first step was that they both needed to admit that they were mates , if not to me , then to each other .
They needed to talk about it and figure out what to do from there Irene ? Chester asked , leaning against the counter again as if he couldnt support his own weight .
Wait … your mate is Ethan Cash ? From the Cash family ? I wasnt surprised that he knew Ethans name .
Everybody knew Ethans name .
His family was famous around the wolf territory ; not as famous as Gavin , but they were well known .
Even more , now that he was marrying Irene , the most famous heiress in the world .
1 nodded .
Yes , I replied .
The one and only .
He left me to be with trene .
I cant really blame him … but it took a toll on me and my wolf .
Well , yeah .
I mean , hes your mate .
That cant be easy … seeing him with another and His voice trailed off and I could see the utter horror in his eyes ; his face had gone pale again , just as it did last night .
I waved my hand in front of his face , trying to bring his attention back to me .
Hey… what are you thinking about ? I asked him , my voice dropping to a compassionate whisper .
I … he started to say , but then he froze .
Chester? I asked , urging him to continue .
His eyes finally found mine and I could see the remorse in them .
I hurt her , Judy , he told me softly .
I wanted to put him out of his misery , so I sighed and leaned back in my seat .
Shes your mate , isnt she ? He looked shocked that I knew such information , but then He sighed and nodded .
Yes , he whispered .
I saw her the other day when I was taking this girl Becky out on a date .
I was in such shock that day that I wasnt sure what to do .
I didnt want to ditch Becky , but Nan was standing in front of me with this hurt expression after realizing that I was taking Becky on a date ….
I winced ; it was no wonder Nan was so upset and got drunk during that party .
I wished she could have told me about this sober .
It hurt that she didnt ; I was supposed to be her best friend and yet she couldnt talk to me about something this important .
Why didnt you go after her ? I asked , not wanting to sound accusatory , but I couldnt help myself .
Finding a Chapter 232
mate was a big deal and I wanted only the best for my best friend .
Chester looked so defeated as he shrugged one of his shoulders .
Like I said … I was in shock , and I didnt want to ditch Becky after being the one to ask her out in the first place .
I thought about finding her afterward and explaining myself but I honestly had no idea who she was or how to even start looking for her .
I tried to ask Becky about her , but Becky didnt really give me much information and she kept changing the subject .
Rightfully so … she didnt want to talk about another woman on our date .
I nodded as I listened to his story , my heart heavy in my chest .
And what about now ? I asked .
What about you and Harper yesterday ? You already knew you had a mate … you saw her with your own eyes and yet you still chose to make out with Harper out in the open ? He ran his fingers through his hair and stared at the counter in front of us .
Not my best moment , he murmured .
I honestly didnt think Id ever see her again .
I certainly had no idea that you were friends with her and that shed see that … I nodded , understanding what he meant , but I was still upset because Nan was hurting , and she wouldnt talk to me about it .
So , what now ? I asked him .
Im not really sure … he murmured .
I messed up and Im not sure what to do about it .
I dont think shell ever talk to me again .
Shes your mate … shes going to want to talk to you again .
Her wolf will make sure of it , I told him .
Its up to you how that conversation goes through .
You need to prepare yourself and not act like a dick .
He frowned at me .
When do I act like a dick ? He asked , sounding offended .
You arent a dick … but your actions arent the actions a mate would want to see , I warned him .
are serious about this …
