Judy’s POV
My entire body was frigid as I heard what this woman…a woman I had never even heard of before, saying that Gavin was in the shower. My entire body shook, and I could feel my heart shattering in my chest. I barely registered her words next because I was so numb from the inside out.
My hearing had faded, and all that was left was just me inside the little bubble I created around myself.
I pressed the “end call” button as she was speaking and I shoved my phone back into my pocket, not wanting to hear what more she had to say.
I’m not sure how I ended up outside of the student lounge; my body was working on overdrive, and I wasn’t in control anymore. I felt paralyzed as the world passed around me, swallowing me into a black abyss. I didn’t realize where I was until I heard Nan’s voice from beside me.
“Judy, what’s wrong?” She asked, studying my pale face.
I looked at her… really looked at her. I saw the worry lingering in her eyes and the way the corner of her lip tipped down into a concerned frown. Her brows were pinched together as she stared at me, the question lingering on her lips as I thought about what to say to her.
I felt so stupid; here I was, thinking this guy might actually like me… thinking he had developed genuine feelings for me as I had him… but instead he was off with another woman, playing house with her… letting her answer his phone… taking her on dates…ignoring me and wondering what it was I did wrong.
I didn’t realize that I was crying until Nan wrapped me in her arms and pulled me into a tight hug.
“It’s okay,” she whispered, but I didn’t feel like things were okay. I felt like I was breaking apart, and there was nobody around to pick up the pieces. My wolf was whimpering and howling inside of me, feeling and feeding off my pain, matching it with her own. “Tell me what happened, Judy. Please… I hate seeing you like this.”
“I called Gavin…” I heard myself whisper. “And another woman answered.”
She let out a breath and closed her eyes as she continued to hug me.
“That asshole,” she whispered. “He doesn’t deserve you if that’s how he’s going to treat you. Just because he’s a Lycan, he thinks he can play with your emotions. It’s not fair.”
At that point, my phone chimed. I pulled out of her arms and glanced at my phone, sighing.
“Who is it?” She asked, eyeing me carefully.
“Beta Taylor is here to pick me up,” I muttered.
‘Not Erik?” She asked with raised brows.
“Does he have any new business partners or someone working with him on the project?” I asked,
He was quiet for a long while; his jaw was ticking, and he clenched and unclenched it. He finally glanced at me through the mirror.
“That’s not for me to say,” he admitted, his voice coming out softer than I thought it would. “It’s probably better if you spoke to him directly.”
“I would if he’d talk to me,” I muttered.
Beta Taylor looked as if he was about to say something else, but before he could, my phone started to ring. Aggravated by the interruption, I huffed as I pulled my phone out of my pocket. I saw Irene’s name on the screen and big my lips as I answered the call.
“Hello?”
“Judy! I need your help,” Irene practically shouted into the phone. “It’s Emalyn… she’s sick. She won’t stop crying. Please hurry!”
She hung up without another word, leaving my stomach in knots. I looked at Taylor, who was still focused on the road, his mind a thousand miles away.

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....
