Yes , I admitted .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Once he got the answer he needed , he let out a breath .<\/p>\n
Yeah \u2026 shes going to make things complicated , he murmured .<\/p>\n
She cant take no as an answer .<\/p>\n
You did right by telling her there wasnt a chance , I told him .<\/p>\n
No good would come from leading her on .<\/p>\n
He nodded .<\/p>\n
Yeah , I truly dont want to hurt anyone .<\/p>\n
Im always upfront about my intentions .<\/p>\n
I never thought that I would ever find my mate though \u2026 truthfully , I didnt think I even wanted a mate .<\/p>\n
And now ? I prodded .<\/p>\n
He was quiet for a moment , his eyes shifting from my face to the ground .<\/p>\n
Im still not sure , he admitted .<\/p>\n
But the second I saw her .<\/p>\n
I knew I needed to see her again .<\/p>\n
I cant let her go without talking to her first .<\/p>\n
Harper was right , I dont know her .<\/p>\n
I havent truly spoken to her .<\/p>\n
If I let her go \u2026 it reject her \u2026 I would always regret not talking to her first .<\/p>\n
I stared at him for a moment , trying to process his words .<\/p>\n
Then , I nodded .<\/p>\n
Okay \u2026 so what do you suggest ? I asked him .<\/p>\n
Do you think you can have her come here ? He asked .<\/p>\n
Maybe tonight ? I can talk to her and then we can decide together what to do .<\/p>\n
I think I owe it to her to at least talk to her and include her in this decision after all .<\/p>\n
Rejection could destroy her and her wolf if we arent on the same page about things .<\/p>\n
I bit my lower lip , my heart aching for my best friend .<\/p>\n
I agree that you owe that much to her , I told him .<\/p>\n
But its going to have to wait until shes feeling up for it .<\/p>\n
Shes in the hospital until tomorrow .<\/p>\n
Chesters eyes shot to me and I watched as his face paled .<\/p>\n
W \u2026 what ? He asked , straightening his body .<\/p>\n
What are you talking about ? Shes in the hospital , I repeated , folding my arms across my chest .<\/p>\n
She spent the last few days drinking and then one of the beers she had was expired .<\/p>\n
She got alcohol poisoning .<\/p>\n
She had surgery earlier and now shes recovering .<\/p>\n
I swear , Chester stopped breathing as he stared at me .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
I need to see her , he said as he rushed past me .<\/p>\n
Woah there , I said , grabbing his arm .<\/p>\n
I think shes been through enough , Chester .<\/p>\n
He whipped around to face me , his wolf at the surface and his eyes wild .<\/p>\n
What ? He asked .<\/p>\n
1\/2 Chapter 02409 I said , shes been through enough .<\/p>\n
Let her rest , I repeated .<\/p>\n
Ill bring her here tomorrow and then you can talk .<\/p>\n
But for now , just let it go .<\/p>\n
He stared at me for a moment longer and I thought he was poing to resist my request and leave .<\/p>\n
But he surprised me by relenting .<\/p>\n
He sighed and dropped his hands , groaning softly .<\/p>\n
I patted him on the back .<\/p>\n
Get some sleep , I told him .<\/p>\n
Because tomorrow , we are going to get Nan from the hospital .<\/p>\n
