Third Person POV
23 years earlier
Michele, also known as Shelly Montague, wanted only one thing in life… to be a mother. She and her husband of five years, Richard, had been trying for the last several years to get pregnant, but they had failed. When Shelly found Richard as her mate, she thought to herself that this was it… this was her happily ever after. She would finally get everything she wanted for herself in her life.
Moving to the Redmoon pack had been a tough transition for Shelly; her mate was the Delta and had grown up there. So, not moving to that pack wasn’t an option, despite how much Shelly missed her own pack a few hours away, still in the Landry territory.
It wasn’t that Shelly didn’t like the Redmoon pack; it was just that she was having trouble making friends. They were very cliquish; there was a group of rich and snobby people that she tried to get along with, but it seemed no matter what she did, she could never impress them.
Especially, the queen bee, Miranda Cash. She was a snobby bitch that Shelly shouldn’t even want to be friends with… but she was the Beta’s mate, and getting along with the female Beta could set Shelly up for a long time in the popularity department.
The main issue was that most of these snobby ladies were either mothers or expecting to be mothers. Shelly told them she was trying for a baby, which gave her an “in.” Now, they invite her to brunch and get her parenting advice for when she gets pregnant.
She didn’t tell them how long she’d been trying because that would have been embarrassing and would have ruined her potential future popularity.
She was a 25-year-old woman who shouldn’t have cared much about being popular, but she did. She cared a lot.
“I need to use the restroom,” Richard had told her, kissing her cheek softly. “Sit here and I’ll be right back.”
Shelly Barley registered his words but sat down anyway, willing her tears to go away.
“I can’t do this…” a small voice said from nearby.
Shelly looked up to see a young girl… maybe around 19 years old—sitting in one of the chairs, her hands clutching the seat so tightly that her knuckles grew white. She had dark circles beneath her eyes, and her blonde hair was a tangled mess… it looked as though it hadn’t been washed in weeks. Her clothes were also worn out and aged, ripped in some places.

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?...
