Rule number one of this lifestyle: never speak to the paparazzi during unplanned interviews.
One of the people in the crowd reached out to touch Rachel, getting a little too excited in her presence. I pulled Rachel closer to me, putting a hand on her waist, and guided her the rest of the way to the crowd. Rachel didn’t seem to mind the closeness; she beamed and gave me a bright smile, which I ignored.
My only focus was to get us inside safely.
Once we were inside, I released my hold on her as if she had bruised me.
She frowned when she noticed the distance between us.
“May I take your coat?” Someone asked Rachel, pointing at the shawl around her shoulders, covering her dress.
Rachel nodded, her eyes never leaving mine as she handed him the shawl. He went to put it with the other coats in the closet.
As always, the charity event was held in the most elegant fashion. Wait staff went around with champaign flute offerings to guests; hors d'oeuvres were being brought around on platters. It was a black-tie event, so everyone was dressed in the most elegant fashion. There was also music being played in the background; classical retakes of popular songs to appease the younger generation.
The hostess of the event, Elana Michalson, stood at the center of attention; her short curls bouncing around her features and her green dress hugging her figure, making most of the men drool at her feet. She had been the hostess of these charity events for years, and they’ve always been a success. Her husband is one of the top Alphas, and they both come from rich families. Elana also descends from strong Alpha blood, making her an Alpha female, though she takes on the role as a Luna to support her husband, Alacar Michalson of the Blue River pack.
“Should we get a drink?” Rachel asked as she too took in the scenery around her.
“We need to say hello to Elana first,” I informed her. “She’s the hostess after all.”
I went towards Elana, who was entertaining a few other guests with tales of her recent travel, making them laugh at her witty commentary and colorful storytelling. Rachel stood behind me, a bit hesitant in her movements, but she followed me, nevertheless.
Elana noticed me approaching, and her face lit up as she excused herself from her current conversation.
“Alpha Landry,” she greeted as she approached me. She kissed both sides of my cheeks as she often did in greeting. “I’m so glad you could make it.”
“I’ve never missed any of your events, Elana,” I remind her. “And I’ve told you before, call me Gavin.”
“This is Rachel,” I introduced. “An old friend.”
Rachel frowned at my introduction, but then she plastered on a fake smile and shook Elana’s hand.
“It’s nice to meet you,” Rachel said.
“Likewise,” Elana replied, eyeing Rachel suspiciously. She opened her mouth to say something, but the murmuring in the distance caught her attention, and her eyes narrowed before widening. I was about to turn to see who caught Elana’s attention, but then I smelled her.
Her scent wafted through the room, rooting me to the ground. My wolf was immediately alert as his senses grew stronger.
It was Rachel’s words that confirmed my suspicions.
“What is she doing here??”

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....
