He grabbed Harper\u2019s hand, his nails digging into her flesh. He wasn\u2019t one to hurt women, but when said woman hurt his mate, all logic and rules went out the window. Harper screamed as the nails of his wolf dug into the soft flesh of her wrists.<\/p>\n<p>Before the security team and management could reach their table and kick them out, Chester dragged Harper out of the restaurant by force, only releasing her once they were outside and even then, he swung her so hard that she nearly fell to the ground from the force. He was growling and trying desperately to keep his Alpha wolf under control, but it was hard when his wolf was so furious. Harper went from cocky and thinking she knew everything to fearful. Her eyes were large, never having seen Chester like this before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChester-\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you FUCKING speak my name,\u201d he growled, his human mind nowhere to be found. He was pretty much all wolf in a human body. \u201cYou hurt my mate for the LAST TIME.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was only trying to get you to see reason\u2026 I wanted to snap you out of whatever -\u201cshe tried to say, but Chester had her throat in his hands within seconds and slammed her against the building, making her howl in pain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDON\u2019T YOU EVER SPEAK ABOUT MY MATE LIKE THAT AGAIN,\u201d he growled, shaking the ground around them. \u201cIf you ever come near her again, I will<\/p>\n<p>FUCKING kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her entire body was shaking now; tears spilled out of her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought-\u201d her voice was small as she tried to speak, all her resolve fading. Chester didn\u2019t give her a chance to finish that sentence before his grip around her throat tightened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDON\u2019T FUCKING TEST ME, HARPER. COME NEAR HER AND SEE WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her face was going red from the lack of oxygen, she fought against his hold, but it didn\u2019t seem his wolf wanted to release her just yet; he wanted her to suffer. No, he wanted her dead.<\/p>\n<p>The realization started to snap Chester back to reality and released her neck with force, making her cough and gag as she fell to the ground. She rubbed her aching neck, her entire body trembling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you even look at her the wrong way, I won\u2019t stop my wolf from killing you\u201d he warned and with that, he turned and stormed back towards the restaurant doors.<\/p>\n<p>When he entered, the management team and the security were there already, like they were waiting for him.<\/p>\n<p>The management was about to kick him out, that much was clear, but a familiar presence stopped them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat was that all about, Chester?\u201d Patrick Carter asked, his brows raised. He wore a suit like he typically did, and his hair was neatly combed out of his face. \u201cCausing a scene at my new restaurant?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry, Patrick,\u201d Chester said, running his fingers through his hair. \u201cThat wasn\u2019t meant to happen. I promise she won\u2019t be an issue anymore\u2026 nor will I. But I need to see my mate. I have to make sure she\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The security team looked as if they were about to grab him and force him outside, but Delta Carter raised his hand to stop them and then he nodded at Chester.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust make sure no more scenes in my businesses,\u201d he murmured. He then turned to his men. \u201cMake sure that girl doesn\u2019t come back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They all nodded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, Delta,\u201d they said before retreating from the building.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick nodded at the management team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been handled. Return to work,\u201d he ordered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, Delta,\u201d the said as well, giving Chester wary looks before leaving.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick sighed and looked at Chester, his expression softening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m only going to say this because you are my friend but get your head out of your ass. Should have seen the look on that poor girl\u2019s face. She\u2019s devastated. She\u2019s my<\/p>\n<p>need her at work tomorrow night broken. I think she\u2019s in the bathroom with Judy Montague. Fix this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>employee at the resort and net<\/p>\n<p>Chester nodded and went straight towards the bathroom, aware that every eye in the place was on him. He grabbed the handle for the girls\u2019 room but noticed it was locked, so he knocked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome back later,\u201d he heard Judy saying on the other end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s me,\u201d he said, his tone low as he pressed his forehead to the door. His wolf had finally simmered down now that Harper was out of the picture and now Chester felt nothing but remorse and worry that he fucked everything up with his mate. \u201cPlease, let me in\u2026 Judy. There was desperation in his tone as he spoke, and he hated how weak and defeated he felt at that moment.<\/p>\n<p>There was a long pause and then he heard the door unlatching. It opened slightly revealing Judy\u2019s pissed off face. She stared around his face for a moment and then her eyes softened after she saw the look in his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWelcome back,\u201d she murmured. \u201cYou have a lot to talk about. Go easy on her\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judy disappeared in the bathroom for a moment longer, probably telling Nan she was leaving. Chester was too far into despair and fear to hear what was being said. But then a moment later Judy stepped out of her arms folded across<\/p>\n<p>the<\/p>\n<p>her chest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll be out here in case anything happens,\u201d she said definitely. \u201cDon\u2019t break her<\/p>\n<p>again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chester nodded, swallowing a lump in his throat as he stepped into the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>Sara is a daring romance writer who turns icy landscapes into scenes of fiery passion.
