Youre hurting me ! I dug my nails so deep into her flesh that she started to bleed .<\/p>\n
My heart was racing , and I thought my ears were going to explode .<\/p>\n
I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to remain as still as possible as Nan attempted to unwrap my fingers from around her arm .<\/p>\n
Seriously , girl .<\/p>\n
Let me go , she demanded through her teeth .<\/p>\n
I finally untangled my fingers from her and gripped the armrests instead .<\/p>\n
As Nan rubbed her aching arm , I could hear her muttering , Training to be a gamma yet terrified of planes .<\/p>\n
She was right ; I was terrified of flying .<\/p>\n
Wolves didnt belong in the air ; we were land animals .<\/p>\n
This thing could break down and wed crash , exploding into a million pieces .<\/p>\n
This was a chance I truly did not want to take , but here I was , in the air , flying for the next several hours to a tropical location .<\/p>\n
Nan wasnt as scared as I was , she was gazing out the window , pointing at all the pretty clouds that we were flying through .<\/p>\n
She kept saying something about our packs looking like a giant map the higher we got You are missing out on the beauty of it all , Nan breathed as she pressed her face against the window .<\/p>\n
I finally managed to pry my eyes open and look around ; the plane had finally leveled off , and my ears no longer felt as if they were about to explode .<\/p>\n
1 saw the big smile on Nans face as she stared out the window , awe clear in her eyes .<\/p>\n
It was nice seeing her smiling again .<\/p>\n
After these last few days , I never thought I would see that smile on her face again .<\/p>\n
It was almost worth it .<\/p>\n
How much longer until we are there , 1 asked , not wanting to stare out the window , afraid of what Id see .<\/p>\n
We just took off , she laughed .<\/p>\n
Calm yourself and relax .<\/p>\n
How can I relax when we are so high up in the sky ? I asked .<\/p>\n
I dont like this .<\/p>\n
Well , theres no other way to get to this place .<\/p>\n
We have to cross several oceans , she told me .<\/p>\n
You were the one who wanted to do the competition , she added with a shrug Do you ladies want anything to drink or a snack ? The stewardess , who startled me , asked .<\/p>\n
Water please I asked .<\/p>\n
She nodded and handed me a small water bottle before glancing at Nan .<\/p>\n
Coffee would be great , she said .<\/p>\n
We just drank coffee , I reminded her .<\/p>\n
She shrugged .<\/p>\n
Its going to be a long flight , and I dont want to fall asleep , she explained .<\/p>\n
The stewardess poured a cup of coffee and then handed Nan some sweeteners and powdered creamers .<\/p>\n
She went off to serve others .<\/p>\n
I took a sip of the water , trying to calm my nerves and racing heart .<\/p>\n
Its going to be okay , Judy , Nan assured me .<\/p>\n
Just chill .<\/p>\n
I nodded , trying to relax .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0066 Have you spoken to Chester ? I asked , trying to keep my mind off being thousands of miles in the air .<\/p>\n
Nan blanched at my question .<\/p>\n
No , she murmured .<\/p>\n
Ive been with you since yesterday .<\/p>\n
When would I have spoken to him ? I shrugged .<\/p>\n
He has your number .<\/p>\n
1 didnt know if he called you , I told her , taking another sip of the water .<\/p>\n
Wait , what ?? She gasped , glaring at me .<\/p>\n
Why exactly does he have my number ?? I 1 shrugged , trying not to look her in the eyes but I felt like was on fire from her stares .<\/p>\n
I gave it to him \u2026 Judy ! She nearly screeched .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Why would you do that ?? Because he was worried, I told her .<\/p>\n
When I told him you were coming with me and- You told him where I was going ?? She asked , her eyes wide .<\/p>\n
How could you do that ?! Hes my friend , Nan \u2026 Im your friend .<\/p>\n
Im supposed to be your best friend .<\/p>\n
I thought you were in my corner , she cried .<\/p>\n
I am in your corner , I assured her .<\/p>\n
Im always in your corner .<\/p>\n
Which is exactly why I gave your mate your phone number .<\/p>\n
You can thank me when youre married and Im your maid of honor .<\/p>\n
And what makes you so sure we are going to get married ? She asked , folding her arms across her chest .<\/p>\n
Hes a playboy .<\/p>\n
He hasnt touched a woman in days .<\/p>\n
Not even Harper and I thought for a while that they were going to be end game , I told her , but immediately regretting my choice of words because Nans face went completely white .<\/p>\n
I sighed and touched her arm gently .<\/p>\n
Im sorry , I shouldnt have said that .<\/p>\n
I know how it is to have a mate \u2026 but Nan , Chester isnt a bad guy .<\/p>\n
If you give him a chance \u2026 Ill end up like you .<\/p>\n
I was stunned speechless by her words .<\/p>\n
They hurt me more than I could ever let her know .<\/p>\n
What ? I asked , my voice coming out heavy .<\/p>\n
Ethan cheated and left you for someone else .<\/p>\n
He broke a part of you that youll never get back .<\/p>\n
You can feel it every time hes intimate with her , and it kills both you and your wolf , Nan said , tears filling her eyes .<\/p>\n
I hate seeing it happen to you \u2026 why would you want it happen to me ?<\/p>\n
