Chapter 405
Third Person POV
Chester stood from the chair the moment Nan was out of sight. He grabbed Harper's hand, his nails digging into her flesh. He wasn't 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.
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.
"Chester-"
"Don't you FUCKING speak my name," he growled, his human mind nowhere to be found. He was pretty much all wolf in a human body. "You hurt my mate for the LAST TIME."
"I was only trying to get you to see reason... I wanted to snap you out of whatever -"she tried to say, but Chester had her throat in his hands within seconds and slammed her against the building, making her howl in pain.
"DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK ABOUT MY MATE LIKE THAT AGAIN," he growled, shaking the ground around them. "If you ever come near her again, I will
FUCKING kill you."
Her entire body was shaking now; tears spilled out of her eyes.
"I thought-" her voice was small as she tried to speak, all her resolve fading. Chester didn't give her a chance to finish that sentence before his grip around her throat tightened.
"DON'T FUCKING TEST ME, HARPER. COME NEAR HER AND SEE WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS."
Her face was going red from the lack of oxygen, she fought against his hold, but it didn't seem his wolf wanted to release her just yet; he wanted her to suffer. No, he wanted her dead.
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.
"If you even look at her the wrong way, I won't stop my wolf from killing you" he warned and with that, he turned and stormed back towards the restaurant doors.
When he entered, the management team and the security were there already, like they were waiting for him.
The management was about to kick him out, that much was clear, but a familiar presence stopped them.
"What was that all about, Chester?" Patrick Carter asked, his brows raised. He wore a suit like he typically did, and his hair was neatly combed out of his face. "Causing a scene at my new restaurant?"
"Sorry, Patrick," Chester said, running his fingers through his hair. “That wasn't meant to happen. I promise she won't be an issue anymore... nor will I. But I need to see my mate. I have to make sure she's okay."
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.
"Just make sure no more scenes in my businesses," he murmured. He then turned to his men. "Make sure that girl doesn't come back."
They all nodded.
"Yes, Delta," they said before retreating from the building.
Patrick nodded at the management team.
"It's been handled. Return to work," he ordered.
"Yes, Delta," the said as well, giving Chester wary looks before leaving.
Patrick sighed and looked at Chester, his expression softening.noveldrama
"I'm 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's face. She's devastated. She's my
need her at work tomorrow night broken. I think she's in the bathroom with Judy Montague. Fix this."

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' room but noticed it was locked, so he knocked.
"Come back later," he heard Judy saying on the other end.
"It's me," 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. "Please, let me in... Judy. There was desperation in his tone as he spoke, and he hated how weak and defeated he felt at that moment.
There was a long pause and then he heard the door unlatching. It opened slightly revealing Judy's pissed off face. She stared around his face for a moment and then her eyes softened after she saw the look in his eyes.
"Welcome back,” she murmured. "You have a lot to talk about. Go easy on her..."
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
the
her chest.
"I'll be out here in case anything happens," she said definitely. "Don't break her
again."
Chester nodded, swallowing a lump in his throat as he stepped into the bathroom.
