Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

Gavin's POVnoveldrama

Watching Judy in her element, comforting Lucy and some of the other packmates, it made my heart sour. It was like watching her in a new light; it gave me a clear view of how she would be as an active Luna. I wanted to make her my Luna more than I wanted my next breath. Though she had worry lines beneath her eyes and a smile that seemed strained due to the high stress from the day, she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I wasn't sure how much more my heart could take.

While she was talking to a few packmates and then Lucy, I made a couple of calls and arranged a surprise for her. I wanted her to be happy, and I wanted her to know that I wanted nothing more than her happiness. I wanted to watch her flourish and be the woman, warrior, and Luna that I knew she was meant to be, but in order for that to happen, she needs to know she has people in her corner.

I felt her body tensing as I whispered against her ear, telling her I had a surprise for her.

"Do you trust me?" I asked her, already knowing the answer, but needing to hear

it.

Her breathing hitched, but without hesitation, she nodded.

"Yes," she breathed.

I smiled, loving hearing that she trusted me. I pressed my lips to the nape of her neck, my heart skipping a beat, and my wolf wanting to surge forward. The urge to mark her as my own has been strong since finding her in the Redcliff pack. It's something that I've never felt with anyone other than my late mate, but with Judy, things were different. I wanted her more than words could describe, and I was going to make sure she understood that.

She turned in my arms so she could look up at me.

"Is it a mistake to trust you?" She asked, her voice soft with a hint of vulnerability. It was a side of her that I knew only I saw.

I knew she thought she was weak because of these feelings and because of the vulnerability she shows me, but what she doesn't know is that I find her to be the strongest woman I know.

"No," I tell her honestly. "It's not a mistake. I'll never make you regret trusting me."

She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth, and it made me want to suck her bottom lip into my mouth. I wanted to kiss her so badly, but I held off for right now. There would be time for that later.

"Come with me," I tell her again as I pull her towards the packhouse doors. The car I had ordered was already parked out front. Erik stood outside the back door, and when he saw Judy, he grinned. A surge of possessiveness washed through me, and I fought the urge to pull her into my side and keep her away from another male. But I knew I couldn't do that... not with Judy.

She gasped when she saw him, and before I could stop her, she was running towards him. She had a smile on her face that I hadn't seen in what felt like a long time, and it made a jealous rage boil through me.

I hated how easily she ran to him

and how he wrapped his arms around her and twirled her. I clenched my fists at my side, keeping myself restrained. I knew they were friends; I assigned him as her personal driver for the last

couple of years, and they've gotten close.

"Welcome back," Erik said as he placed her back on the ground.

"It's honestly good to be back. I didn't realize how much I missed this place until I got here."

"It's only been a few weeks," he teased.

She shrugged.

"A few weeks away from my home," she reminded him, nudging his shoulder. "How have things been here while I was away?"

"Boring as fuck,” he told her, lifting one shoulder. "Maybe now things will liven back up."

I stepped beside Judy, unable to contain myself anymore. I needed to be near her or my wolf would go

crazy. She glanced up at me,

proximity. Erik straightened as he looked at me as well; I was a little taller than he, so I looked down at him.

"You know where to take us?"

He nodded.

"Yes, Alpha."

"Good." My eyes remained on him, a dare in my eyes.

He swallowed and stepped away from Judy. She frowned and narrowed her eyes at me, but I didn't pay her any mind as I watched Erik open the car door for us. He ran around the car and got into the driver's seat. I motioned for Judy to get into the car first, and she hesitated for only a moment before

she slid into the car, leaving me room to slide in beside her.
