Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 845

“I had Gavin with me,” I told her, glancing over my shoulder at Gavin, who stood behind us, giving us a moment to talk.

She nodded.

“Yeah, but we don’t know this Coraline person. For all I know, she’s this all-powerful witch who wanted to cause you harm. She didn’t do anything to you, did she?”

I shook my head.

“I promise you, I’m okay,” I assured her.

Her eyes searched mine, not fully convinced, but she didn’t poke any further. She let out a breath and nodded as she stepped away from me.

“How did things go?” Nan asked.

“Maybe we should talk about this later,” Gavin said, draping a protective arm around my shoulders. “It’s been a long day, and Judy needs to rest. She’s exhausted.”

I nodded in agreement, though I wanted to tell Nan everything that happened; something inside of me was telling me to keep it quiet for right now, at least until I can understand what’s happening and what I need to do next.

Nan frowned as she studied my face.

“How about we have a movie night?” She asked. “We can forget about everything and just hang out… like old times…”

She looked so hopeful that I didn’t want to deny her, so I nodded.

“A movie night sounds great,” I told her.

“I’ll make you girls some popcorn,” Gavin said, kissing my cheek softly before he retreated and went inside.

I smiled at his back, my heart swelling with love and joy at the sight of him. Nan looped her arm through mine and guided me towards the front door.

“You’ll eventually clue me in, though, right?” She asked, keeping her tone hushed.

“Of course,” I assured her. “Don’t worry. I’ll tell you everything soon enough, but trust me… It’s a doozy.”

“I’m on the edge of my seat,” she teased.

My eyes were heavy, and though I wanted to wait until Gavin returned before I fell asleep, it was a losing battle. I started to drift off to sleep, the villa quiet and lulling me past my breaking point.

And then it happened.

A high-pitched howl ripped through the villa grounds, violent and sharp.

I bolted upright, my breathing heavy as my chest heaved as I fought to catch my breath. I heard Gavin’s wolf growling before I knew what was truly happening, and I felt it the moment he left the villa. I ran towards the doorway and through it, only to run directly into Erik.

“Erik?” I asked, my breath ragged. “What’s going on? Where’s Gavin?”

“You need to stay in here,” Erik told me. “And I have to check on Irene… but you need to promise me you’ll stay here, Judy.”

“Tell me what’s going on,” I said, tears blurring my vision. “What’s happening, Erik?”

“There was an attack,” he said, his eyes finding mind. “Rogues… they are attacking the pack.”
