Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 616

Judy’s POV

No?

Did he just say no?

Anger coursed through me; the shock of him tracking me down to the packhouse long gone as I stared up at him.

“What do you mean by no?” I asked him, my tone louder than I intended.

“Just that,” he said, folding his arms across his chest. “I’m not letting you stay here. As soon as I’m done here, you’re coming home with me.”

“You have no right to tell me that,” I nearly shouted at him, my fury getting the best of me. “This is my decision, not yours!” Truth be told, I was going to talk to him about it. I wasn’t sure if this was a decision I wanted to make. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stay in this pack, but I needed to know where Gavin stood first. But hearing him deny my choice without even discussing it with me first left an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach. I wasn’t going to remain quiet over that.

His eyes darkened.

“Are you forgetting that I am your Alpha?” He asked, narrowing his eyes. “Not to mention you are carrying my baby… something that connects you to me by blood. I have every right to make this decision for you, and right now, my decision is that you are coming home with me, where you belong.”

I stared at him in shock; he was serious. He wasn’t planning on discussing this further, and I could tell by the dismissive way he was glaring at me. I glanced over my shoulder at Sampson, whose eyes were shifted to the ground, trying to avoid my gaze and keep his nose where it belonged.

“Can’t you do something?” I asked him as if this was his fault. He lifted his gaze to meet mine, and I could see the struggle behind his eyes; I knew it was out of his hands before he even responded.

“I already told you, if Alpha Landry disapproves, I can’t do anything. He has every right to deny my offer,” Sampson said gently. “I’m sorry, Judy. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

I was done talking to him; I was done trying to make this work. No matter what we did, we would never see eye-to-eye. I would always be someone he thinks he can control. I was stupid to think that Gavin wanted me… he only wanted to dominate me. Nothing more.

Tears blurred my vision as I hurried down the hallway, my heart shattering even more the further I got from Gavin. He didn’t follow me; part of me was hoping that he would chase me down and apologize. Another part of me, the bigger part, needed that space. I needed to get away from him to clear my head.

Though just because he didn’t follow me, it didn’t mean I wasn’t being followed. As I got outside, I felt a hand on my shoulder, making me freeze. For a second, I thought maybe it was Gavin, and I was too caught up in my own misery to notice that he was behind me the entire time, but when I turned, I realized that it wasn’t. A small flutter of disappointment grated my chest before I brushed it away.

Spencer stood behind me with a worried frown and a crease between his brows.

“What happened?” He asked.

I hadn’t realized how bad I was crying until I tried to speak. Without a word, Spencer had me wrapped in his arms, holding me close to his chest. I could hear the rapid beating of his heart, and his strong hands splayed out on my back, keeping me close.
