Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 594

Judy’s POV

Today was going to be a long day. I already knew it from the moment I woke up to the moment I did my rounds around the pack. I hadn’t told Sampson or anyone about my pregnancy yet, and the thought filled my chest with dread. I knew the second I did he would strip me of my gamma title and maybe even make me return to my home… back to him. But I couldn’t go back to him, no matter how hard I wanted to. I hated that I wanted to… I hated that I missed him. But he made his choice, and it wasn’t me. He was expecting a child and marrying another woman; I needed to keep my distance and pretend to be happy for him, because that was what Gavin wanted.

Sampson mentioned having a meeting this after and I needed to attend, and I wasn’t looking forward to this. Honestly, I didn’t want to be around a lot of people. I wanted to be by myself and just wallow in self-misery, but until I told Sampson the truth, that wasn’t an option. I was still very much an Elite Gamma warrior, and I needed to be on my A game. I couldn’t show any signs of weakness… I had to pretend I wasn’t carrying a baby in my belly.

I stared at myself in the mirror, frowning at my flat belly. In a couple of months, I would start to show, and I wouldn’t be able to hide it any longer. I also couldn’t keep putting this baby in danger… I had to tell Sampson. But maybe it could wait a little bit longer? Maybe I could wallow in this denial period for a bit… at least until I’m ready to spill my secret. Or until Lucy spills it for me.

Sighing, I finished getting dressed.

I spent most of the morning patrolling around the pack neighborhoods, trying to help people clean the debris and rubble out of their yards. I wanted to do something productive while keeping myself safe as well. Sampson wanted me to take it easy for the day after being caught in the explosion, but I didn’t want to feel useless.

“There you are, Judy,” one of the packmates said as I emerged from the pack’s dumpster area. I had dirt all over my clothing and sweat dripping down my cheeks after a morning of cleaning and lifting heavy items. “The Luna had been looking for you. The meeting in the yard is starting soon, and she wants you to accompany her.”

It didn’t take long to reach the packhouse; the meeting was being held in the courtyard out back. It was big enough to hold the entire pack and then some. There was a stage area where the Alpha typically stood to speak with the pack during meetings.

Outside the packhouse was busy with a flurry of packmates nervously preparing for the meeting. Tensions were high after the recent attacks, and my wolf was getting caught up in the anxiety. Something about her behavior today had been off; she’s been anxious, like she’s waiting for something to happen. Typically, I would trust her instincts, but since finding out I was pregnant, I wasn’t sure if her behavior was for real cause or because she was about to be a mom.

As I walked, my eyes scanned the area until I spotted the familiar Lucy standing nearby. She was talking to somebody, her body language showing that she was nervous as she tucked a long strand of blond hair behind her ear. Was she blushing?
