Chapter 0353 Judys Pov I stared at Nan dumbfounded for a long moment .<\/p>\n
Like a second fated mate ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
She nodded and met my eyes .<\/p>\n
Yes , like a second fated mate .<\/p>\n
Do you think I could have another fated mate if I reject this one \u2026 or if he rejects me ? She asked , nibbling on her lip .<\/p>\n
I always only saw myself with a mate and now Im not sure if this is the right one for me .<\/p>\n
Im not sure if I should bother waiting for a second , or if its pointless .<\/p>\n
I hadnt thought much about second chance mates , though have heard of some instances where it happened .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
In Nans case , she wasnt marked , so her wolf would recognize her second chance mate sooner rather than later .<\/p>\n
It was a rarity to even get a second chance mate at all .<\/p>\n
The Moon Goddess would have to think of you as a special blessing or something .<\/p>\n
I believe in them , I admitted .<\/p>\n
But they are a rarity .<\/p>\n
I wouldnt count on receiving one .<\/p>\n
She nodded ; her eyes clouded for a moment .<\/p>\n
I knew she was conflicted about what to do and I couldnt blame her .<\/p>\n
I wished I could make this decision for her , but the only one who could decide on what to do was Chester and Nan .<\/p>\n
They just needed to actually talk to each other and Chester needed to get his head out of his ass .<\/p>\n
Im scared , Judy .<\/p>\n
I dont know what to do , she admitted softly .<\/p>\n
I wrapped my arms around her , pulling her close .<\/p>\n
And you have plenty of time to figure it out, Nan , I assured her .<\/p>\n
Just take your time .<\/p>\n
But if I may say , Chester isnt a bad guy .<\/p>\n
Give him a chance to prove that to you .<\/p>\n
Just talk to him .<\/p>\n
She sniffled , wiping the remainder of her tears on the back of her hand , and then forced a smile at me .<\/p>\n
Enough about my pathetic love life , she said , draping her arms through mine .<\/p>\n
Tell me about the competition .<\/p>\n
Im sorry I wasnt at the arena when you arrived .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
What ?? I knew you could do it ! Thats incredible .<\/p>\n
I chuckled at her response .<\/p>\n
Yup , I told her .<\/p>\n
I even fought a black bear .<\/p>\n
Yeah , I totally heard .<\/p>\n
Ive been watching the livestream .<\/p>\n
Girl , we got a lot to talk about , starting with who the hell is Chuck and why was he such eye candy .<\/p>\n
laughed at Nans antics ; it was nice hearing it again .noveldrama<\/p>\n
We continued our typical banter as we walked back to Chester who was waiting by the fountain where we left him .<\/p>\n
He looked uneasy and when we approached , he quickly stood .<\/p>\n
1\/2 26 BONUS Chapter 0353 I have to go , I told them .<\/p>\n
I promised Gavin , Id meet him in his room and then I have watch duties tonight .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Then I quickly hurried back to the suites .<\/p>\n
I noticed that Sammy had already gone back without saying anything .<\/p>\n
I went back to my suite first so I could quickly change before heading to Gavins room .<\/p>\n
Though I had a key still to his room , I knocked anyway , not wanting to intrude if he was doing something .<\/p>\n
When he didnt respond , I knocked again .<\/p>\n
After another beat of silence , I decided to just let myself into his room .<\/p>\n
Unlocking the door , I stepped inside , peeking around for any signs of Gavin .<\/p>\n
His scent was faint , so he hadnt been here in a while .<\/p>\n
I remembered the last time I wanted to surprise him naked in bed , he wasnt alone when he returned .<\/p>\n
Mica was there and I had to hide under the bed before he saw me .<\/p>\n
I wasnt going to make that mistake again .<\/p>\n
It was almost 8 pm .<\/p>\n
I only had a couple of hours before I needed to go on watch duty at 10 .<\/p>\n
Taking a deep breath , I sat on his bed and waited .<\/p>\n
Gavins POV I stood at the airport , glancing at my watch .<\/p>\n
It was just after 9 pm and Irene and Matts plane should be landing soon .<\/p>\n
My phone buzzed in my pocket , and I reached to grab it .<\/p>\n
I glanced at the screen , seeing Micas name flash across .<\/p>\n
Sighing , I opened the text message .<\/p>\n
Mica : You watchling tonight ? Me : Yes .<\/p>\n
Mica : What time ? The Lycans are gathering around now , and you arent here yet .<\/p>\n
Me : I have something important to do right now .<\/p>\n
Ill be there when I get there .<\/p>\n
Before he could respond , I closed the messaging app and shoved my phone back into my pocket .<\/p>\n
It didnt matter what time I arrived because there was only one competitor , I was planning on taking on the watch duty tonight .<\/p>\n
