Chapter 266
Judys POV Ow , Judy ! Nan cried .
Youre hurting me ! I dug my nails so deep into her flesh that she started to bleed .
My heart was racing , and I thought my ears were going to explode .
I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to remain as still as possible as Nan attempted to unwrap my fingers from around her arm .
Seriously , girl .
Let me go , she demanded through her teeth .
I finally untangled my fingers from her and gripped the armrests instead .
As Nan rubbed her aching arm , I could hear her muttering , Training to be a gamma yet terrified of planes .
She was right ; I was terrified of flying .
Wolves didnt belong in the air ; we were land animals .
This thing could break down and wed crash , exploding into a million pieces .
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 .
Nan wasnt as scared as I was , she was gazing out the window , pointing at all the pretty clouds that we were flying through .
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 .
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 .
1 saw the big smile on Nans face as she stared out the window , awe clear in her eyes .
It was nice seeing her smiling again .
After these last few days , I never thought I would see that smile on her face again .
It was almost worth it .
How much longer until we are there , 1 asked , not wanting to stare out the window , afraid of what Id see .
We just took off , she laughed .
Calm yourself and relax .
How can I relax when we are so high up in the sky ? I asked .
I dont like this .
Well , theres no other way to get to this place .
We have to cross several oceans , she told me .
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 .
Water please I asked .
She nodded and handed me a small water bottle before glancing at Nan .
Coffee would be great , she said .
We just drank coffee , I reminded her .
She shrugged .
Its going to be a long flight , and I dont want to fall asleep , she explained .
The stewardess poured a cup of coffee and then handed Nan some sweeteners and powdered creamers .
She went off to serve others .
I took a sip of the water , trying to calm my nerves and racing heart .
Its going to be okay , Judy , Nan assured me .
Just chill .
I nodded , trying to relax .
Chapter 66
Have you spoken to Chester ? I asked , trying to keep my mind off being thousands of miles in the air .
Nan blanched at my question .
No , she murmured .
Ive been with you since yesterday .
When would I have spoken to him ? I shrugged .
He has your number .
1 didnt know if he called you , I told her , taking another sip of the water .
Wait , what ?? She gasped , glaring at me .
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 .
I gave it to him … Judy ! She nearly screeched .
Why would you do that ?? Because he was worried, I told her .
When I told him you were coming with me and- You told him where I was going ?? She asked , her eyes wide .
How could you do that ?! Hes my friend , Nan … Im your friend .
Im supposed to be your best friend .
I thought you were in my corner , she cried .
I am in your corner , I assured her .
Im always in your corner .
Which is exactly why I gave your mate your phone number .
You can thank me when youre married and Im your maid of honor .
And what makes you so sure we are going to get married ? She asked , folding her arms across her chest .
Hes a playboy .
He hasnt touched a woman in days .
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 .
I sighed and touched her arm gently .
Im sorry , I shouldnt have said that .
I know how it is to have a mate … but Nan , Chester isnt a bad guy .
If you give him a chance … Ill end up like you .
I was stunned speechless by her words .
They hurt me more than I could ever let her know .
What ? I asked , my voice coming out heavy .
Ethan cheated and left you for someone else .
He broke a part of you that youll never get back .
You can feel it every time hes intimate with her , and it kills both you and your wolf , Nan said , tears filling her eyes .
I hate seeing it happen to you … why would you want it happen to me ?
