“That means so much,” I breathed, tears burning my eyes. “It’s all so surreal if I am to be honest. It feels like a dream I’m going to wake up from at any moment.”
She laughed and patted me on the back.
“Well, start believing it, because you are kind of a star now. Every shifter in the world knows your name. It’s pretty incredible.”
I blushed at her words and nibbled on my lower lip nervously. I wasn’t sure what to expect going forward; would things start to change at school? Would people look at me differently? What about my family?
“There she is… the girl who made me surrender,” another voice said and I turned to see Sherry walking towards us.
She looked a lot better as well, though she walked with a slight limp and had a couple of scratches on her arms. She had a soft smile on her lips as she approached and when she stopped in front of me, she bowed her head.
“Congratulations. Your win was well deserved,” she murmured, holding out her hand for me to shake.
I smiled at her.
“You were a tough fight,” I admitted, taking her hand and shaking it firmly. “For a second, I thought you’d win. It would have been an honor to lose to you.”
She grinned.
“You win some, you lose some,” she said with a shrug.
Most of my conversations with the other competitors were more or less the same. They congratulated me and told me I fought tough and then they moved onto the next person.
As the ceremony commenced, food and drinks were served. There was more mingling, and I was even able to answer some of the questions for the paparazzi. They took a ton of photos of me for headliners, I also took photos with other competitors.
At one point, Chester arrived with Matt and Matt was excited to be involved in the whole thing. He got some autographs from his favorite competitors.
For the most part, I managed to avoid Gavin for the night. Though, sometimes I could see his penetrating gaze on me, but I made it a point to acknowledge it. Every time I looked at him, all I saw was him and Daisy. Seeing them together hurt more than anything, seeing her practically naked in his room at night while he was in the shower was driving me insane.
There was no sign of Daisy yet, but I knew she’d probably make an appearance soon enough.
“You look like you’re on edge,” Nan pointed out. “Still thinking about Gavin and Daisy?”
I nod.
“I’m trying hard not to, especially in front of Irene, but I can’t help it, nan. Every time I close my eyes I see them together. It’s driving me crazy and making me feel sick to my stomach.”
She grabbed another champagne flute and handed it to me.
“Then, let’s forget about them,” she said, raising her own glass in the air. “At least for tonight, let’s just forget.”
“How long have you been together?” Nan asked curiously.
“A year,” she sighed. “I thought he could be the one, but I was wrong. He’s just like every other man.”
“I’m so sorry, Sammy,” I said, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. “You don’t deserve that.”
“I just need to get away for a while and start fresh…” she told me softly. “So, I went to Gavin Landry…”
My brows shot up and I looked at Nan who was equally surprised.
“You what?” I asked her, my voice coming out as a breathy whisper.
She nodded and nibbled on her lower lip.
“He pulled some strings and now I’m attending the Shifter Academy,” she said with a shrug. “It’s a change, but I’m ready for it.”
My eyes grew wider; that was my academy. She was told to go to the same school as me?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
This story is all over the place. i'm trying my best to keep going because he would be so good The writer and editor communicated at least a little. (Yes I understand its 1 maybe 2 people writing and tending to the story) However, everyone needs to be on the same page. The characters names continue to change: Rachel at first then her name changed to Rebecca, Ethans sister name is now jenna. some times they talk in 3rd person which I'm sure is a accident when its in that characters POV. How did we do a time jump 5 years making Matt 13 with Judy's son being 5 years old but when we get to the Blackwell story line he's nine again and she's still pregnant using her time with matt to gain experience with her son. What happened to the time jump....
Is it just me, or do they add chapters daily for one week then leave you in suspense for a week before they start posting again? The book is amazing, but it's frustrating being in such high excitement and thrill then being left with your mind boggling....
Thank you for continuing to write this story! Trying to be grateful for the recent 2 small chapters a day, however due to enjoying it so much, wish they were more and longer....
Could the author please get the names correct…CHESTER is Nan’s mate —NOT Chuck. I don’t know who is writing these chapters, but I do not think it is the original author. Considering the original author has quite a few ongoing stories, she must have handed this one off to someone else. Very disappointing!...
Has the author forgot her own story? Didn't lila/Racheal date gavin when he first got Mathew? Meaning that she's the same or similar age as gavin! Now it's changed that she's born on the same day as Judy......
This book has gone off the rails. First there was a Five Years Later chapter where everyone had kids and Irene was marked and pregnant by Chuck and now they're not mated and Chuck is a slime ball. Make it make sense....
I don't understand thus story. Didn't she just win 5 million in the gamma games? Why is she living with people and not in her own place?...
No updates/new chapters since 10/14/2025???? This is so frustrating for those of us who have followed this book/author from the beginning! So disappointing!...
Why no updates posted since 9/20/25????...
Well that.....sucked. That can't seriously be the ending? Tf?...
