Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

"I guess so,” she whispered. "I just hope he'll one day see it that way too and I can return home."

That was another reason she had to stay in this mansion; she couldn't be around matt right now without his wolf going insane and trying to rip her throat out for betraying them. She nearly tried to kill him just to get rid of me and that was something Matt's wolf wasn't going to forget. But maybe one day he'll be able to let it go and live in peace with her again.

One could only hope.

A knock on the door broke us from our thoughts. I frowned as I lifted my head and looked at Irne.

"Were you expecting someone?" I asked her.

She shook her head, wiping her eyes from the tears that escaped.

"No," she replied.

I stood and went to the door; I glanced through the peep whole and the second I saw who it was, a big smile lit up my face. I pulled the door open and opened my arms for Tabby to run into them.

"Hey!" she said, hugging me tightly. "Heard you were staying here tonight and thought I'd come join."

"I almost forgot you were in town," I admitted. "With everything going on this last day or so, my head is in a complete cloud."

"I don't blame you," she told me. "I can't believe what I'm hearing about Sammy. She was banished from the pack and forced to return home to her father. I wonder if he's going to be pissed."

"I'm sure he will be," I told her, guiding her into the house.

Just as I was about to shut the door, Chuck and Shirley appeared.

"Didn't think we wouldn't come too, did you?" Shirley asked as she walked into the mansion.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked with a laugh as I shut the door behind them.

"We leave tomorrow to return to our pack," Chuck explained. "Figured we'd stop by and spend one last night with you."

I was grateful to them and glad that I got to see them. We went through the competition together; they were my friends for life now.

Irene's eyes immediately went to chuck and her cheeks flushed at the sight of him. I made a mental note to ask her about that later; it was obvious that there was something going on there.noveldrama

Chuck grinned at her as he went to the couch. Ignoring them, I turned to Tabby and Shirley.

"I'm really glad to have you here. I'm also grateful that you came when you did and warned me about Sammy. If it weren't for you, she'd probably still be here."

Tabby shrugged.

"I'm just glad we were able to help you," she said thoughtfully. "I would hate to think you were in any kind of danger."

"I just can't believe Sammy was capable of doing something like that," Shirley said, shaking her head. "She seemed so sweet at the competition."

I heard Irene giggling at something Chester said, and his grin only grew wide as he spoke to her; both keeping their tones low so we couldn't hear. I couldn't help but

smile at her; it was nice to see her

with someone other than Ethan.

Chuck seemed like a good guy, and I

doubt he would play her like Ethan

had.

I made another mental note to ask Shirley and Tabby more about him later. I only

knew him from the competition, but to them... he was pack.

"So, where's this baby I've been hearing about?" Tabby asked. "It's all anyone talks about over at the villa."

"Sleeping," I told them.

I got each a glass of wine and caught them up on pretty much everything. After

we were done talking, I noticed that Irene and Chuck were gone.

My eyes widened as I looked around for any sign of them.

Shirley rolled her eyes, already knowing what was going on.

"What's wrong?" I asked. "Where'd they go?"

"Most likely to her room," Shirley said, shaking her head. "I swear the only reason

he came here is for her."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

Tabby chuckled.

"Chuck is convinced that Irene is his

mate," she explained. "His wolf

going crazy over her, and he's been

wanting to see her again since the competition."

“Weird... Irene didn't mention anything about that. Wouldn't she feel it too?" I asked.

"Maybe she just doesn't know what it should feel like," Tabby suggested. "I heard that happens sometimes."

Just as I was about to ask more

about that, the door opened and

turned around, my eyes wide when I

saw Gavin walking into the room, his

eyes darting around until they landed on me.

Oh hell...

How was I going to explain to him where his daughter was?
