Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 767

Judy’s POV

The dining room smelled of roasted chicken and rosemary, the scent making my stomach growl even as my baby fluttered low in my belly. I smoothed a hand over my small swell, my mind tumbling through the thing I hadn’t said out loud yet; my nerves, my hopes, my fear that I wasn’t doing enough to belong in this family… in this pack. I wasn’t just going to be a mother; I was going to be a Luna as well.

I never thought that I would ever be either, and it was a huge responsibility. I had one dream in life, and that was to be a gamma warrior… that was what I worked so hard to be, and now it’s like my dreams had all shifted to surround this little bean inside of me.

“Where are we going for vacation?” Matt asked, bouncing on his toes excitedly. It was rare that I saw Matt act his age; he was only 9, and he was the youngest shifter to ever be known in existence, not to mention an incredibly skilled fighter. It made me smile to see him so excited.

Irene had given me a wide-eyed look when Gavin mentioned a family vacation, and I gave her a slight wink, indicating that her suspicions were true; we were going to Alpha Jeremy’s pack, Blood Thorne.

Jermey’s territory was European and a place I always wanted to visit.

“Blood Thorne,” Gavin told him.

“Where is that?” Matt asked, his eyes wide.

“France,” Irene said with a grin. “It’s Alpha Jeremy’s territory.”

“Ohhh! I always wanted to go to France!” Matt said excitedly.

“Good, because we are going in a couple of days,” Gavin announced. “I was sent tickets to the Masquerade ball. Though Matt, you won't be able to attend the ball, I’m sure there will be something we can find for you to do.”

“Why can’t I go to the ball?” He asked, pouting.

“It’s for adults,” Gavin told him.

“What are we talking about?” Taylor asked. I hadn’t noticed him and Eliza seated at the table when we entered.

Eliza stood and gave me a hug as I neared her.

“How are you feeling?” She asked, placing her hand on my belly. She can’t help herself; even when she’s not on duty, she’s still working.

I smiled at her.

“I’m feeling incredible,” I tell her.

“Good; any abdominal pain?”

“None,” I assured her. “Don’t fuss over me, Eliza. We didn’t invite you here so you can work.”

She blushed at my words and sucked her bottom lip into my mouth.

“I’m sorry,” she said sheepishly. “Sometimes I can’t help it.”

She thought about it for a moment before she let out a breath.

“I suppose I can find someone,” she murmured before she lifted her gaze to her mate. “Okay, I suppose we can go.”

Taylor’s face lit up with excitement.

“Excellent,” he said, clapping his hands together.

“These invites include a plus one, so that still leaves us with one ticket left. I’m not entirely sure why he sent me so many,” Gavin said, his eyes shifting to me. I knew he suspected something, considering I mentioned going to his territory prior to these invites. But I feigned innocence. “Any idea who we should invite next?”

“How about Nan?” I asked quickly. “She can bring Chester.”

“I had a feeling that’s what you’d say,” Gavin said with a smirk.

“Can we bring Erk too?” Irene asked, her eyes shifting to her father. “He can be my plus one… it would be good to have a bodyguard, and Erik knows us the best. I think he’d be a better traveling companion than anyone else.”

Gavin thought about it for a moment before he nodded.

“I’ll talk to Erik tomorrow,” Gavin said.

Just then, our dinner arrived. My stomach growled even more at the sight of the delicious food. I said my thanks to the maid who placed a plate in front of me, along with a glass of water.
