Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

Sampson nodded.noveldrama

"We'll get settled in then," he said, motioning for his remaining pack to follow him inside. I went inside with them, standing by Lucy, I looked at her pale features and worn eyes, my eyes lurching at the sight. She's typically cheery and happy, but she has a lost look in her eyes.

She lost everything, and my heart ached for her.

"How are you holding up?" I asked her.

She blinked, as if coming out of a daze. Her eyes, unfocused, looked at me.

"It's all happening so fast," she said in a soft whisper. "It's just... so much."

"I'm really sorry, Lucy," I whispered back. "I wish there was something I could do..."

She shook her head, tears filling her pale blue eyes.

"It's not your fault. We were all played. We were stupid. Our Lycan never cared about us... he sacrificed us for his own selfish gain, and the worst part is... we don't even know what he had to gain for that... we trusted someone we shouldn't have, and because of that, our pack suffered a great loss. I should have seen it coming. What kind of Luna doesn't see something like that coming?"

"Don't do that," I said to her sharply, turning to look at her. "You are an incredible, Luna, Lucy. You did nothing wrong. You trusted a Gamma that your mate appointed... a gamma who had been working and trained under the supervision of the Redcliff pack. He wasn't always bad... he made a bad decision, and it cost a lot. But none of that is on you. Your pack doesn't blame you...”

"Not yet, they don't... but they will," she said weakly, glancing at the ground. "They will eventually blame us for letting them down and not seeing the threat coming. Once they settle in and the adrenaline of it all fades, they'll seek someone to blame."

I put my hand on her shoulder.

"If anyone comes at you, they'll have to go through me," I told her firmly.

She blinked a few times, a few stray tears escaping her eyes as she sniffled.

"You're a really good friend, Judy," she said softly, a small smile tipping the corner of her lips.

"As are you," I assured her. “And you're an even better Luna."

She wrapped her arms around me, and I felt her relax slightly as I held onto her. er hated that she was hurting, and I hated that there wasn't anything I could do about it.

Sampson had already gone off to find the Alpha suite for him and

Judy; the others were exploring the packhouse with some of the

Redmoon Gammas.

Gavin stayed behind, and I could feel his eyes trained on me; heat crept up the back of my neck.

I tried to ignore the feeling and focused my attention on Lucy.

"You should get some rest," I tell her. "It's been a long day, and you're probably exhausted. As is everyone else. The rest can wait until the morning."

"I agree," Sampson said, coming down the stairs, his eyes fixed on his mate. "I found our suite. Let's get some sweet, little wolf."

He held his hand out for Lucy, who took it without much thought. She looked at me, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Thank you, Judy," she said softly. "And thank you, Alpha Landry," she said from over her shoulder.

Gavin nodded, though his eyes never left my face. The heated look in his eyes made my cheeks flush, and I wondered what was going through his mind at that moment. I wanted to ask, but I bit my tongue.

I watched as Lucy walked away with Alpha Sampson. I stayed for a few minutes longer, watching as the others found their way around the packhouse and disappeared around various corners and stairways, finding a place to settle in for the night with the ones they had left.

I knew Gavin was approaching me before I turned around; my wolf felt his presence, and my heart skipped a beat. Why was she always reacting to him this way? What was it about him that made her forget who we were? Around him... we became almost weaker. Our guard was down, and the warrior we

trained so hard to be felt less than.

I felt his arms wrap around my waist, and he pulled me into his chest, his face buried into my neck.

"I have a surprise for you," he whispered. His hands traveled down my arms,

trailing goosebumps in his path, and then his fingers entwined with mine. "Come with me."
