Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Judy's POV

My blood went cold at the sound of her question. I stared at her and she stared back at me with a glint of humor in her eyes. I wanted to vomit at that moment; all the food I had just eaten resurfaced.

I could feel Gavin's agitation towards his mother, but he remained quiet, just glaring at her like he was trying to kill her with just his eyes.

"I'm sorry, was that too forward of me?" Donna asked. "You see, Judy. I have some concerns, that's all. I'm a mother above anything else and I care about the figure of my son and his children... current and future."

I swallowed the lump in my throat at her insinuating words; I remained silent though, not sure what to say. I waited for her to continue. She studied my face for a long while before she continued.

"I only want the best for Gavin, as you know," she continued. "If you aren't good enough for your own fated mate, what makes you good enough for my Gavin?"

My heart fell deep into my stomach; she was right. I wasn't good enough for Gavin. I wasn't even good enough for Ethan, someone who was supposed to love me above anything and anyone else. My fated mate. I was kidding myself if I thought for a second that I was good enough for Gavin Landry, the most powerful Lycan Chairmen in the world.

I looked at Gavin and saw how tense he was; his eyes remained fixed on his mother and his jaw was tensing with each passing second. Donna leaned back in her seat, placing her fork gently on her plate as she took me in.

"I hope you don't take any offense to that, Judy. I want to like you... I really do. But what kind of future could a rejected mate give my powerful son?"
