Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Chapter 749 Gavin's POV I hadn't seen Noah Blackwell since I was 16 years old. We used to be best friends, but then something happened, and I was no longer allowed to see him. His entire family fell off the face of the earth. I stopped questioning why after a while; my father refused to talk about it, and my mother claimed not to know a thing. But I always felt as if I had missed something. I've heard of Noah's work alongside his father in the shadow regions, though, and I knew he wasn't the same 16-year-old I had once known. He wasn't someone I would consider a friend.

Back then, he wanted nothing more than to follow in his father's footsteps. I wondered if he still felt the same way now. "Noah," Selene said with a pleased smile. "Come join us, darling." She motioned for an empty chair, and Noah walked towards it without his eyes meeting mine. He sat down and started to put food on his plate. "I apologize for my late entrance," Noah said.

---- His voice was deeper, more polished than I remembered. A man's voice now, edged in teal. Though I'm sure mine was too. "No apologies necessary. You have quite a bit on your plate.

His lips curved into something that might have passed for a smile if his eyes hadn't been so empty. I felt Judy shift slightly beside me, her hand brushing against mine under the table. Her touch soothed me, which I knew mine soothed her. "Your father invited me. It would have been stupid to refuse the invitation. I'm pleased you were able to clear your busy schedule to join us,

his mate, Judy?" Noah's eyes flickered to Judy, and it took all I had not to growl at him. "I haven't," Noah said, eyeing Judy up and down, making her squirm under his scrutiny. "I wasn't aware the great Alpha took

hand out to shake hers, and she gingerly placed her hand in his. I squeezed her thigh without meaning to. After a quick shake, she drew her hand back as if he had burned her. "I must say, you look quite familiar.

Zachary asked, raising his brows. He glanced at her as if he was trying to size her up and figure out what made her so special. It made me lean closer to her; my wolf needed to protect what was his. He didn't like the fact that our mate was the center of attention. "She is," Noah answered, a smile growing on his lips. "I watched her on the television. She was quite impressive and put the others to shame." "Must you flirt with every woman that glances at you, brother?" Lila
