Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

"You had me so scared, Judy," Lucy said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "You shouldn't have gone out to post last night. You know in your condition that you—"

"I know," I said, interrupting her. "I'm going to tell Sampson... I just need some time. I won't be stupid like that again, I promise. I had no idea something like that would happen. I don't even understand what happened, really..."

"What happened was Cindy had a timed bomb on her body planted by the rogues," Lucy said, shuddering. "Sampson thinks she was threatened into returning to the pack. Once the timer went off, the entire pack would have been destroyed and everyone in it."

My eyes grew wide; I already knew she had a bomb on her, but to think that she was heading to the pack to destroy it... It left me feeling unsettled.

"You think she was threatened?" I asked.

She nodded.

"She wouldn't have come back to the pack knowing she had a bomb on her otherwise. I know Cindy and her family mean everything to her," Lucy said with a sad expression on her face. "Either she was threatened... or lied to."

I shuddered at the thought, and then I remembered something.

"She wasn't rushing back to the pack," I told her. "I thought it was strange. Yes, I knew she was in pain, but I thought she would have pushed through it to get home as fast as she could, just in case the rogues changed their minds and went to get to capture her again. But she wasn't rushing. She was walking slowly and taking frequent breaks. She looked hesitant to continue forward, like she wanted to run elsewhere, but then something kept her moving forward. When she saw the Gammas approaching, she looked panicked. That's when I saw the bomb on her belly... it was small like a tick, but I remembered seeing pictures of that type of bomb while studying in school. It's a smaller bomb, but big enough to destroy a pack. The second I noticed it, I tried to warn the Gammas to get back, but it was too late. The timer went off and so did the bomb..."

Her face paled as I spoke, and she shuddered.

"She must have been stalling," Lucy whispered. "That's something Sampson should know about."

I nodded.

"When I see him next, I'll let him know," I tell her.

"Okay, I'm sure he'll be by within the next day or so. He's been busy trying to recover the forest and searching for any bodies... not to mention they are still on the hunt for those responsible. They think it was an inside job, I've heard..."

"An inside job?" I asked, my stomach knotting.

She nodded.

"The masking spray was used by the rogues, which was only meant for Gamma warriors. How did the rogues get it? Plus, with how high our security is, they shouldn't have been able to cross our borders. Something weird is going on around here, and Sampson is determined to figure out what it is. He even enlisted outside help, which is surprising; it's another Lycan wolf."

My ears immediately perked up at her words, and my eyes grew large as I stared

at him.

"Wait, what?" I asked. "Another Lycan wolf, other than Levi, is here?"noveldrama

She nodded.

"Yeah, it's weird, right? I mean, Levi is supposedly away on leave for a bit, and this Lycan and his team are supposed to be really good at tracking. So, with Levi's permissi they allowed them to come here. They just arrived this morning."

My stomach knotted; I would know if Gavin was suddenly in this pack, wouldn't I?

There were other Lycans other than Gavin, so why would I automatically assume that it was Gavin who was here?

I brushed the thought out of my head; it wouldn't be Gavin. He'd never come to Levi's territory, even if Levi never came here or was on leave Devi was his enemy; what purpose would Gavin have for being here when he had his own territory to care for?

"I'm assuming that's who I was supposed to escort?" I asked.

She nodded.

"Yeah, but he arrived early, so Spencer took care of it," she explained. "I only had

a glimpse of him and oh my goddess, if I wasn't already mated..." She let her voice trail off.

I raised my brows at the blush on her cheeks.

"You found him attractive?"

"He was hot as sin," she breathed. "Whoever his mate is... is one lucky lady."
