Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 376

Judy’s POV

Despite the good news from my parents about them being able to move home soon, my wolf was on edge. Something was wrong and I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. I classified it as basic nerves for what was about to come tomorrow. It was the finals for this competition, and it would determine the winner. If we weren’t careful, we could lose our lives. My wolf wasn’t the type to back down or surrender, so I worried getting her to submit would be hard, if not impossible.

“Are you okay?” Nan asked when she noticed my expression. I was struggling at keeping my wolf under control. Something was seriously wrong with her right now and it worried me.

I nodded though, not wanting to worry my best friend.

“Yeah, I think I just need some air,” I told her truthfully, my heart hammering in my chest.

She nodded, a small frown marring her lips as she watched me leave the hotel suite. She didn’t follow after me, which I was grateful for. I wasn’t sure why, but I just needed to be alone for a little while. I needed to clear my thoughts and settle my wolf before she did something she would regret.

I didn’t get to make it outside though.

“Miss Montague,” Alpha Levi said, falling into step beside me. “Mind if I have a word with you?”

I frowned up at him, not sure what he could possibly want to speak to me about, but he was in charge of this competition so maybe it was related.

I nodded my head slowly.

“Of course, Alpha,” I said to him.

“Are you prepared for tomorrow?” He asked me, his eyes searching my face for something I wasn’t sure what.

I nodded, though I wasn’t entirely sure myself if I was prepared or not.

“Yes, Alpha,” I told him. “As prepared as I can be.”

“That’s good to hear. I have high hopes for you tomorrow,” he surprised me by saying. “I recruited you for a reason and that’s because I have faith in your abitlies. You are going to make the Elite team a stronger force with your presence.

“Thank you, Alpha,” I said, bowing my head out of respect to him. “That means a lot coming from a Lycan.”

He nodded, his eyes sparkling with something I couldn’t quite understand but I chose not to dwell on it for much longer. The longer we spoke, the more on edge my wolf was. She was desperate to go out and shift. I didn’t want to shift right now though because there was no telling what she would do and where she’d go if she did break free from me. Right now, it felt as if I was the only thing holding her back from doing something reckless.

“Think about what I said and get back to me soon,” he said, holding out his hand for me to shake.

I reached my hand out and he took it gently, bringing it to his lips. The kiss was featherlike, and he held my eyes the entire time, something dancing in his gaze that I couldn’t quite pin. As he kissed my knuckles, he lowered my hand back down, his fingers lingering a bit longer than necessary before he released me.

“Until next time,” he said and then he turned and left without another word.

I was still reeling from that conversation when I stepped outside. It was quiet outside; most were either at dinner or somewhere else in the resort. The night air was cool against my warm flesh and the moon hung lazily in the sky, casting its rays down on the gorgeous resort.

Though it was peaceful, and the air was nice in my lungs, my wolf was still clearly on edge.
