Judy’s POV
By the time we reached campus, both our minds were reeling with possibilities. Something was up with Sammy, and we were both determined to find out what it was. We didn’t see Sammy all morning, so we didn’t bother traveling to school with her.
I had a morning class, so I had to part ways with Nan pretty early on.
Because we were so wrapped up talking about Sammy, I haven’t told her about my date yet. But I made a mental note to tell her all about it later.
As I reached class, I caught sight of Lukas who met my eyes and froze. His eyes were big and he kept his head down as he passed me and went into the classroom. My brows furrowed at his reaction, and I followed him into the room, saying hello to Professor River’s as I passed.
Lukas sat at his seat, which was beside mine. He rummaged through his backpack, pretending not to notice me taking my seat beside him. My eyes never left his reddened face as he struggled to pull out his notebooks and books, placing them on the table before him. He grabbed his pens as well, his hands trembling as he placed each one down in front of him. It was an unnecessary amount of pens for one class and I knew he was only doing this to keep himself busy.
But my question was… why?
I knew Gavin freaked him out the other night; I should have probably warned Lukas that it was technically Gavin’s mansion and that I was living in it. Lukas had Lycan blood because of his family history, so I should have been a bit more considerate. But I didn’t think it meant that Lukas and I couldn’t be friends.
“Are you mad at me?” I finally asked, breaking through the tension; or at least I attempted to break through the tension, but it seemed to make him more tense.
“Mad?” He squeaked out. “No… why would I be mad?”
I narrowed my eyes at him, though he wasn’t looking at me to see the expression on my face or the look in my eyes.
“Because you are avoiding my eyes,” I tell him, cocking my head to the side.
This was the first time that I’d seen him since our study session at the mansion the other night. I assumed he’s been busy these last few days and that’s why I hadn’t heard much from him. I’ve been busy too, so I didn’t really take his silence as anything other than living our lives. But now I’m beginning to think that his silence was starting to mean more.
“I’m not avoiding your eyes,” he told me, though his actions proved otherwise.
I folded my arms across my chest and leaned back in my seat.
“Oh, yeah?” I asked. “Then look at me, Lukas.”
When he didn’t make any movements, I leaned closer, assessing the side of his face carefully and watching as his neckline grew redder with each passing second.
He swallowed; his eyes fixed on his notebook.
“What do you expect? I was close to someone he considers his… and he’s a Lycan. They are possessive creatures, Judy. I would know…”
I shook my head, my rage at an all-time high but I was suppressing it because I was in a classroom right now and it was quickly filling with other students.
“I do not belong to him. He is not my mate…” I tell him in a harsh whisper. “I’m not sure where you got that idea from but—”
So, you didn’t just go on a date with him last night?” Lukas asked, his brows raised, but his eyes still fixed on the table.
I was startled by his knowledge of my date last night. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out.
“I…” I tried to say.
After a few seconds of silence, he sighed and grabbed his phone. He swiped along the screen for a bit, typed something, and then he turned the screen to face me. That was when I saw today’s headline on Shifter Daily.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
