about everything. It seemed he was struggling with his own feelings and coming to terms that he found his
mate... he didn’t want to say it out loud, but | knew that’s what was bothering him. It’s bothering Nan too and
my heart was torn between the two of them.
| wanted them both to be happy and | 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 weren't 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 couldn’t support his own weight. “Wait... your
mate is Ethan Cash? From the Cash family?”
| wasn’t surprised that he knew Ethan’s name. Everybody knew Ethan’s 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,

His voice trailed off and | could see the utter horror in his eyes; his face had gone pale again, just as it did last
night. | waved my hand in front of his face, trying to bring his attention back to me.
“Hey... what are you thinking about?” | asked him, my voice dropping to a compassionate whisper.
“I...” he started to say, but then he froze.
“Chester?” | asked, urging him to continue.
His eyes finally found mine and | could see the remorse in them.
“I hurt her, Judy,” he toldsoftly.
| wanted to put him out of his misery, so | sighed and leaned back in my seat.
“She’s your mate, isn’t she?”
He looked shocked that | knew such information, but then He sighed and nodded.
“Yes,” he whispered. “I saw her the other day when | was taking this girl Becky out on a date. | was in such shock
that day that | wasn’t sure what to do. | didn’t want to ditch Becky, but Nan was standing in front ofwith this

| winced; it was no wonder Nan was so upset and got drunk during that party. | wished she could have told me
about this sober. It hurt that she didn’t; | was supposed to be her best friend and yet she couldn't talk to me
about something this important.
“Why didn’t you go after her?” | asked, not wanting to sound accusatory, but | couldn't help myself. Finding a

Chester looked so defeated as he shrugged one of his shoulders.
“Like | said...I was in shock, and | didn’t want to ditch Becky after being the one to ask her out in the first place. |

even start looking for her. | tried to ask Becky about her, but Becky didn’t really givemuch information and
she kept changing the subject. Rightfully so... she didn’t want to talk about another woman on our date.”
I nodded as | listened to his story, my heart heavy in my chest.
“And what about now?” | asked. “What about you and Harper yesterday? You already knew you had a mate... you

you were friends with her and that she’d see that...”
| nodded, understanding what he meant, but | was still upset because Nan was hurting, and she wouldn't talk to
“So, what now?” | asked him.
“I'm not really sure...” he murmured. “I messed up and I'm not sure what to do about it. | don’t think she'll ever
talk toagain.”
“She’s your mate... she’s going to want to talk to you again. Her wolf will make sure of it,” | told him. “It's 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 | act like a dick?” He asked, sounding offended.
“You aren't a dick... but your actions aren’t the actions a mate would want to see,” | warned him. “are
