Judy's POV

I was quick to react. Nan jumped out of her seat, and I jumped in front of her to keep Harper from hurting her. It wasn't difficult to stop Harper's attack because she was drunk and sloppy in her movements. She nearly fell over by the time she even remotely reached Nan.

I had Harper pinned to the ground with ease; she screamed out in frustration as I quickly got the upper hand.

Hearing the commotion, Chester quickly ran into the room, his eyes wild as his wolf fought to take control, already sensing that his mate was in danger. The second he saw Nan standing off to the side, her eyes wide as she watched me tackle Harper, he relaxed slightly knowing she was safe, but then once his eyes found Harper, he was furious.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing??" Chester asked, approaching us, his eyes never leaving Harpers. "Why are you here, Harper? You were fired."

Tears continued to fall down Harper's cheeks; when I didn't think she would attack Nan again, I finally released her.

"I came to get my stuff," she said, her bottom lip trembling. "But when I saw her here...I just snapped."

"You need to leave before the security team throws you out," Chester said, folding his arms across his chest.

She sniffled and wiped at her tear-soaked eyes.

"I'll help you with your things," I told her as I stood up from the ground, pulling her to her feet as well. My heart went out to Harper in a way; I didn't like the fact that she wanted to fight my best friend every chance she got, but I did feel bad that she was so heartbroken.

I knew she had feelings for Chester for a long time and now it was being ripped away from her. Chester stayed behind with Nan and Sammy as I went towards Harper's old bedroom. Once we were in her room, she broke down into more tears. She was a complete mess, and I hated that it was happening to her.

"I'm so sorry, Harper," I whispered, stepping towards her.
