Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Gavin's POV

Watching Judy in her element, comforting Lucy and some of the other packmates, it made my heart sour. It was like watching her in a new light; it gave me a clear view of how she would be as an active Luna. I wanted to make her my Luna more than I wanted my next breath. Though she had worry lines beneath her eyes and a smile that seemed strained due to the high stress from the day, she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I wasn't sure how much more my heart could take.

While she was talking to a few packmates and then Lucy, I made a couple of calls and arranged a surprise for her. I wanted her to be happy, and I wanted her to know that I wanted nothing more than her happiness. I wanted to watch her flourish and be the woman, warrior, and Luna that I knew she was meant to be, but in order for that to happen, she needs to know she has people in her corner.

I felt her body tensing as I whispered against her ear, telling her I had a surprise for her.

"Do you trust me?" I asked her, already knowing the answer, but needing to hear it.

Her breathing hitched, but without hesitation, she nodded.

"Yes," she breathed.

I smiled, loving hearing that she trusted me. I pressed my lips to the nape of her neck, my heart skipping a beat, and my wolf wanting to surge forward. The urge to mark her as my own has been strong since finding her in the Redcliff pack. It's something that I've never felt with anyone other than my late mate, but with Judy, things were different. I wanted her more than words could describe, and I was going to make sure she understood that.
