Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

"And now Chester is in there right now talking to her," I concluded the story. Nan's eyes remained on the hallway that Harper's room was down. I could tell from the nervous way she was biting her lip that she was nervous.

He always told himself that if he were to fall in love with anybody, it would be Harper. But then he found his mate and everything changed. He hated that he was losing his friend like this, and he hated what they had become.

"You can't keep attacking my mate every time you see her, Harper,” Chester finally started to speak after what felt like an eternity of silence. "It's not fair to anybody involved and it's not fair to yourself to keep holding onto the past like this."
