Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

"Did you think I wouldn't?" I asked him.

He shrugged his shoulders.

"I knew Dad would come back, but I didn't think you would take," he admitted. "But I'm glad you're here. Doctor Pierce said I can leave later today because my vitals are good."

Eliza nodded, a fond look in her eyes.

"It's true. He seems to be a lot better after getting a full night of rest. His wolf is very strong and will need a strong Alpha to train him. It's a good thing his father is the strongest Alpha in the world."

"Is there anything else we need to know?" Gavin asked; my ears perked when he said the word "we." Was he talking about me and him? Like we were an actual couple, and Matt was our son.

My heart swelled at the very thought; my wolf seemed content with the thought as well, solidifying my growing feelings for Gavin. I knew at this moment that it wasn't just a game between us... these feelings weren't lust-filled... I had real feelings for him.

I was falling in love with him.

"As I said yesterday, try not to trigger his wolf's anger, and you should be okay for right now," Eliza told him.

He nodded.

Before any more words could be said, Gavin's phone started to ring. He sighed as he pulled his phone out of his pocket and glanced at the screen. His frown deepened when he saw who was calling. He turned his back on Matt as he spoke in a low voice.

"This is not a good time, Irene," he said; Matt's ears perked, and my heart dropped at the sound of her name. Gavin's brows furrowed as he listened to what she was saying on the other end. I could tell it was a lot, and from the intensity of her voice on his phone's speaker, I knew whatever was wrong, it was serious. She was being frantic, and it made me worry for her. "What are you talking about?" Gavin asked, his tone darkening.

Now my brows were furrowing, there was actual concern in his tone as he spoke and on his face. His expression changed completely.

"On my way," he said just as he hung up the phone.

"What's going on?" I asked.

He typed a message on his phone, and once he pressed send, he shoved his phone back into his pocket.

"We need to get back to the villa,” he told me and then he turned to Matt. "Taylor will be here once you're ready to be discharged. He'll take you home."

Matt frowned.

"You're leaving?" He asked, sounding a bit gutted; I was in a mix of feeling bad about leaving him, and wondering what was happening back at the villa.

"I'm sorry, but yes," Gavin said, running his fingers through his hair. “There's an emergency at home that I need to tend to."

"I can always stay with him if needed," I suggested, keeping my tone low for Gavin's ears alone.

"I'd rather you come with me," he told me. "I think I'm going to need you for this."

I raised my brows a him, but I didn't argue, I just nodded, my cheeks slightly
