Chapter 249
I nibbled on my lower lip and nodded ; I didnt want to lie to him .
Yes , I admitted .
Are you okay ? He studied me for a moment , his eyes scanning my face to find out if I truly cared or not if he was okay .
Once he got the answer he needed , he let out a breath .
Yeah … shes going to make things complicated , he murmured .
She cant take no as an answer .
You did right by telling her there wasnt a chance , I told him .
No good would come from leading her on .
He nodded .
Yeah , I truly dont want to hurt anyone .
Im always upfront about my intentions .
I never thought that I would ever find my mate though … truthfully , I didnt think I even wanted a mate .
And now ? I prodded .
He was quiet for a moment , his eyes shifting from my face to the ground .
Im still not sure , he admitted .
But the second I saw her .
I knew I needed to see her again .
I cant let her go without talking to her first .
Harper was right , I dont know her .
I havent truly spoken to her .
If I let her go … it reject her … I would always regret not talking to her first .
I stared at him for a moment , trying to process his words .
Then , I nodded .
Okay … so what do you suggest ? I asked him .
Do you think you can have her come here ? He asked .
Maybe tonight ? I can talk to her and then we can decide together what to do .
I think I owe it to her to at least talk to her and include her in this decision after all .
Rejection could destroy her and her wolf if we arent on the same page about things .
I bit my lower lip , my heart aching for my best friend .
I agree that you owe that much to her , I told him .
But its going to have to wait until shes feeling up for it .
Shes in the hospital until tomorrow .
Chesters eyes shot to me and I watched as his face paled .
W … what ? He asked , straightening his body .
What are you talking about ? Shes in the hospital , I repeated , folding my arms across my chest .
She spent the last few days drinking and then one of the beers she had was expired .
She got alcohol poisoning .
She had surgery earlier and now shes recovering .
I swear , Chester stopped breathing as he stared at me .
After what felt like a long time , I waved my hand in front of his face , he blinked a few times as if he was now just remembering where he was .
I need to see her , he said as he rushed past me .
Woah there , I said , grabbing his arm .
I think shes been through enough , Chester .
He whipped around to face me , his wolf at the surface and his eyes wild .
What ? He asked .

I said , shes been through enough .
Let her rest , I repeated .
Ill bring her here tomorrow and then you can talk .
But for now , just let it go .
He stared at me for a moment longer and I thought he was poing to resist my request and leave .
But he surprised me by relenting .
He sighed and dropped his hands , groaning softly .
I patted him on the back .
Get some sleep , I told him .
Because tomorrow , we are going to get Nan from the hospital .
And you sir , are : driving .
