Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

Tabby's eyes grew wide, and her mouth nearly dropped to the ground.

"The Landry's??" She asked in awe. "As in Gavin Landry?"

"They are his kids," I explained.

"I knew he had a daughter, but I had no idea he had a son too," Tabby said, furrowing her brows. "He really keeps his life private."

Matt looked a bit sheepish and uncomfortable from the remark and I gave him a reassuring smile.

"Woah, who is that cutey?" Irene asked, her eyes staring off in the distance.

I followed her gaze and then smirked when I saw the man she was looking at. Turning back to her I replied, "That would be Chuck Evans. He's from the Bloodmoon pack up North. His father is the head gamma there."

"He was also on Judy's team when she was on the island," Matt also explained, eagerly. "He was kind of like the team captain."noveldrama

"Yeah, and nobody even questioned it," I said with a headshake. "But leadership came naturally to him, almost like it was a given."

Irene's eyes were fixed on Chuck, not paying attention to what anyone was saying.

"Earth to Irene,” I said, waving my hand in front of her face, making her blink a few times like she was just finding out where she was.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" She asked, her cheeks turning a strange shade of red.

"I was saying, that's Chuck Evans. Though he's great at what he does, he's kind of arrogant. I'd just be wary of him."

"It's not like I'm planning on doing anything with him," Irene said a bit nervously. "I just got out of a serious relationship. I'm still kind of a mess over it."

"Have you heard from him?" I asked.

She shook her head, looking as if she wanted to cry.

"No," she breathed. "He made it perfectly clear that he never wanted me to begin with. It was always my father he was after..."

"He never deserved you," I told her, wrapping a sweaty arm around her.

"He didn't deserve you either," she sighed, resting her head on my shoulder, not caring that I was sweaty.

"Who are we talking about?" Tabby asked, and her brows furrowed.

"My ex-mate," I told her. "And Irene's ex-fiancé."

Her eyes grew wide.

"Woah, juicy," she breathed.

I laughed and gave Irene a gentle squeeze.

Our conversation was interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing. I grabbed my phone out of my bag that sat beside the weights, and I saw that my mother was calling. My heart squeezed in my chest and suddenly, I was worried that something was wrong. She was still living in the Cash Manor after all. Did they do something to her after their connection with Irene and the Landry's were cut?

I excused myself and rushed out of the gym so I could take the phone call privately. A million thoughts ran through my mind and for a moment, I was prepared to get a flight back home so I could be with my mother.

"Mom," I greeted when I answered the phone. "Is everything okay?"

"Judy, it's your father," my mother sniffled on the other end.

My heart fell deep into my stomach at the thought of something happening to my father, knowing that it would also destroy my mother. If I lost him, I lost them both.

"Mom, what happened, is he okay?" I asked, panicking me.

"Yes, he's fine," my mother surprised me by saying. "He's coming home, Judy. He's getting out of jail today."

My eyes grew impossibly large; out of all the things she could be calling me for, that was not something I even thought about. I remembered Gavin saying he had it handled, but I didn't think it would be so fast.

"Are you serious?" I asked, my voice coming out as a breathy whisper. "How, why?"

"His debt was paid in full," she said softly.

My heart swelled with joy at hearing her; I realized these weren't tears of fear or heartbreak, she was crying for joy because her mate was returning to her.

"Oh, mom, that makes me so happy," I said, my own eyes welling with tears.

"Alpha Landry also called me personally to tell me that he was going to make sure we were set up well," she told me, surprising me further. "He rebought our house, Judy. The Cash family no longer owns it...we do. We get to finally move home, Judy!"
