Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Gavin's POV

After my phone conversation with Irene, I left the hospital and went straight to the graduation ceremony. Though there were still lingering graduates celebrating with their friends and family, Judy's scent was long gone. It seemed that she didn't stick around for the after-party.

I cursed and planned to just go to her house, but I stopped when I saw Beta Taylor approaching. He looked mournful as he stared at me, noticing my tense posture, the regretful look in my eyes.

"I know you care about her, but we have more pressing stuff to address right now, Alpha," Taylor told me, using his professional tone so I knew he was all business. I knew he was right; that news article is ruining me. Now my entire territory is about to be aware that Rachel is pregnant, and they will assume that the baby is mine, just as the article and video attached to the article insinuate. I felt a rage like never before boiling through me as my fists clenched.

“Judy can't see that article,” I told him, my tone leaving no room for arguments. "It would destroy her if she thought for a second, I got another woman pregnant. Especially after the night we had a couple of weeks ago. I can't let that happen. She doesn't deserve that."

"And what if you did get her pregnant?" Taylor asked, his brows raising. "We don't exactly have proof otherwise."

"The baby isn't mine," I said through my teeth. "I didn't touch her..."

She had markings all over her body, and your scents were intermingled," Taylor reminded me, stating the obvious.

I let out a low growl, my wolf surging forward as I glared at him.

He took a step away from me, knowing it was not the time to push me. He took a deep breath and held his hands up in defense.

"Look, I'm just saying, you need to be prepared. It's probably better if you leave Judy alone for right now until you know for sure. The last thing you want is to get her hopes up that the two of you can be something and then break her heart... again. She's been through enough and doesn't need any more of this."
