Chapter 353
Judys Pov I stared at Nan dumbfounded for a long moment .
Like a second fated mate ? I asked her .
She nodded and met my eyes .
Yes , like a second fated mate .
Do you think I could have another fated mate if I reject this one … or if he rejects me ? She asked , nibbling on her lip .
I always only saw myself with a mate and now Im not sure if this is the right one for me .
Im not sure if I should bother waiting for a second , or if its pointless .
I hadnt thought much about second chance mates , though have heard of some instances where it happened .
Ive heard it takes a while for a wolf to recognize a second chance mate and if shes marked by another , even after rejection , her wolf wont feel any other mate at all until that mark is gone .
In Nans case , she wasnt marked , so her wolf would recognize her second chance mate sooner rather than later .
It was a rarity to even get a second chance mate at all .
The Moon Goddess would have to think of you as a special blessing or something .
I believe in them , I admitted .
But they are a rarity .
I wouldnt count on receiving one .
She nodded ; her eyes clouded for a moment .
I knew she was conflicted about what to do and I couldnt blame her .
I wished I could make this decision for her , but the only one who could decide on what to do was Chester and Nan .
They just needed to actually talk to each other and Chester needed to get his head out of his ass .
Im scared , Judy .
I dont know what to do , she admitted softly .
I wrapped my arms around her , pulling her close .
And you have plenty of time to figure it out, Nan , I assured her .
Just take your time .
But if I may say , Chester isnt a bad guy .
Give him a chance to prove that to you .
Just talk to him .
She sniffled , wiping the remainder of her tears on the back of her hand , and then forced a smile at me .
Enough about my pathetic love life , she said , draping her arms through mine .
Tell me about the competition .
Im sorry I wasnt at the arena when you arrived .
How did it go Youre a few hours early so Im assuming it went well ? We won this round , I told her with a grin .
What ?? I knew you could do it ! Thats incredible .
I chuckled at her response .
Yup , I told her .
I even fought a black bear .
Yeah , I totally heard .
Ive been watching the livestream .
Girl , we got a lot to talk about , starting with who the hell is Chuck and why was he such eye candy .
laughed at Nans antics ; it was nice hearing it again .
We continued our typical banter as we walked back to Chester who was waiting by the fountain where we left him .
He looked uneasy and when we approached , he quickly stood .

I have to go , I told them .
I promised Gavin , Id meet him in his room and then I have watch duties tonight .
I hugged them both goodbyes , telling Chester that I was glad he came , and added that hes more than welcome to stay on our pull out couch , but no funny business .
Then I quickly hurried back to the suites .
I noticed that Sammy had already gone back without saying anything .
I went back to my suite first so I could quickly change before heading to Gavins room .
Though I had a key still to his room , I knocked anyway , not wanting to intrude if he was doing something .
When he didnt respond , I knocked again .
After another beat of silence , I decided to just let myself into his room .
Unlocking the door , I stepped inside , peeking around for any signs of Gavin .
His scent was faint , so he hadnt been here in a while .
I remembered the last time I wanted to surprise him naked in bed , he wasnt alone when he returned .
Mica was there and I had to hide under the bed before he saw me .
I wasnt going to make that mistake again .
It was almost 8 pm .
I only had a couple of hours before I needed to go on watch duty at 10 .
Taking a deep breath , I sat on his bed and waited .
Gavins POV I stood at the airport , glancing at my watch .
It was just after 9 pm and Irene and Matts plane should be landing soon .
My phone buzzed in my pocket , and I reached to grab it .
I glanced at the screen , seeing Micas name flash across .
Sighing , I opened the text message .
Mica : You watchling tonight ? Me : Yes .
Mica : What time ? The Lycans are gathering around now , and you arent here yet .
Me : I have something important to do right now .
Ill be there when I get there .
Before he could respond , I closed the messaging app and shoved my phone back into my pocket .
It didnt matter what time I arrived because there was only one competitor , I was planning on taking on the watch duty tonight .
