I paused, letting my gaze sweep over every face.
“But I did grow up fighting for People who didn’t have a voice. I grew up protecting those who couldn’t protect themselves. And I didn’t cheat to get here.”
The power inside me shifted; it was almost as if it was listening to me and responding.
“I won that competition because I earned it,” I said. “Every bruise. Every broken bone. Every hour of training. And if you actually see the footage instead of believing gossip, you’d already know that.”
A low hum rolled through the air.
Some swallowed hard, and others stepped back without realizing they were doing it.
“I’m not perfect,” I went on. “I don’t know everything, and I won’t pretend I do. But I will learn. I will listen. And I will protect this pack with everything I have. Some of you know me… I grew up with you, and you know that I’m not deceitful and I never have been.”
Mouths dropped, and phones were capturing pictures and videos; all I could see were flashes and dropped jaws.
“Holy shit… what the hell are you?” Olivia asked as she stepped back, her eyes wide as she stared at me. Without waiting for a reply, she quickly turned to the shocked crowd. “And this is another reason why Judy shouldn’t be our Luna… because look at her! She’s a freak. We deserve someone more deserving like Lila Blackwell!!!!”
Wait… what??
Nan rushed towards me before I could even grasp what was even said; in her hands, she held a long, dark coat that I knew belonged to Gavin. Confusion swept over me, and I turned to look at Gavin, but he was no longer standing where he was, and neither were Irene and Matt.
Nan draped the coat around my shoulders and turned me away from the onlooking crowd.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
“You are glowing,” she whispered.
I frowned.
“Probably my pregnancy,” I told her, glancing at my rounded belly.
She rolled her eyes and grabbed my arm, lifting it so I could see what she was talking about, and then my jaw dropped.
She was right… I was glowing like literally glowing.
“Oh my god,” I whispered hoarsely. “Did everybody see?”
Suddenly, I was mortified. I already knew the answer to that question: if Nan saw… then everybody saw, and it explained the dropped jaws and the sudden need to take pictures instead of video.

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?...
