“Well, hello there, Judy,” she said, her pleasantries easing my mind slightly.
“Good morning, Mrs. Connolly,” I replied, stopping in front of her desk. “I heard Dean Griffin wanted to speak with me.”
She nodded and turned back to her computer; she typed something on the screen and then turned towards the little speaker box on her desk.
“Dean Griffin, Judy is here to speak with you,” she said into the little mic.
The speaker crackled as Dean Griffin’s voice came through.
“Send her in.”
There was no emotion in her voice, and it made my stomach tighten into an even bigger knot.
Mrs. Connolly gave me a nod and motioned for the office door. I took a deep breath and opened the door, stepping inside. The office hadn’t changed much from when I was here last; there were the same modern decorations, with updated pictures of the new Dean’s family. She was a mother to what looked like a 3-year-old little girl and maybe an 8-year-old little boy. She was the wife of a Beta, which made her a female Beta. I knew little about her other than the fact that she was from the Whytecliff pack, a neighboring pack of the Redmoon, which was run by Alpha Edmond.
Dean Griffin, first name Lila, was blonde with long hair that draped over her shoulders and glasses that covered most of her young-looking face. She had a petite frame, and from the small amount of times I’ve seen her, I had never seen her smile.
I heard from others around the school that she never smiles.
“Take a seat, Judy,” she motions for one of the seats in front of her desk.
She didn’t bother looking at me; too focused on whatever was on her computer screen.
Tentatively, I took a seat, tugging my fingers nervously as I waited for her to speak. It took an eternity for her to say anything. Eventually, she looked up at her, her pale blue eyes narrowing.
“I’ve heard a lot about you from your professors,” she informed me. “I’ve gone through all your records, and I must say, I’m quite impressed with your performance.”
My heart stopped in my chest; was she complimenting me?
“Thank you, Dean Griffin,” I said, grateful for her words.
“It seems you’ve been on the dean's list more times than any student who’s been at this school,” she continued. “Not to mention your performance at the Gamma Competition deserves some recognition.”
My heart started up again, pounding heavily in my chest.
“So, with that, I wanted to personally congratulate you… You are graduating top of your class. If you ace your finals, which telling from your records, I have full faith that you will, you are expected to write and give a speech during graduation, and you’ll get a golden star on your degree, which indicates that you graduated top of your class.”
I couldn’t help the smile that lit up my face at her words.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
I’m so frustrated with only getting two chapters at a time—and they’re not even real chapters, more like a single page counted as a chapter....
Ugh, Gavin stopped thinking with your little head. Rachel played you once guaranteed she will do it again. You are supposed to be the big bad Lycan/Alpha but yet wolves from other packs are running around your pack as spies with no questions asked and no digging for information, nothing. It's convenient Rachel showed up after photos of Judy and him were realized 🚩🚩. Also the new dean of Judy's school works for Levi. Matt and Irene need to sit their old man down and tell him to figure it out already and stop playing with Judy's heart....
I would love for a new male character to show up that is immediately recognized as her 2nd chance mate and then she moves on his pack and lives HEA with her mate and as a Gamma Warrior for that new pack. Gavin regrets not expressing his feels for Judy and just goes back to his ‘never sleeps with the same woman twice’ ways....
There is no way Gavin is that dumb.. he's gotta have a plan brewing in his head that's either protecting Judy, or finding out Rachel's motives. I need the story to wrap up cause this is reaching a point of dragging on. Creating new scenarios of breaking them up over and over. They need to just be together and fight the bad guy together instead of always having to fight the bad guy on their own....
I am in 100% agreement with the other commentators. Enough is enough. Gavin is supposed to be the biggest, baddest Lycan, and yet, he has no idea Judy is his second chance mate and completely ignores everything his wolf (why wolf and not Lycan??) says about her. Although the age gap doesn't bother me, the difference in status does. It's utterly inappropriate as he is her boss and holds all the cards. When things go south, he bears no responsibility or blame. Everything is on her. And she is basically a child. The fact that the dean of her college is already threatening her about her relationship with Gavin shows that they will set something up again in which she will be punished for the relationship. He never is. He obviously can't communicate or commit. I don't care how many people he thinks he's lost. The title is "Seducing My Ex's Father-in-law," and it no longer applies. Time to wrap this up. No third-act breakup. No cheating. Just HEA. If not, let her move on to someone who can show her his love. Move away to another district at graduation. Not Levi's. Have some self-respect. I hope the author reads these comments and sees everyone is over the "will he commit?" aspect. Now it's just being dragged on to add more chapters....
So let me guess… Rachel was sent back by Levi’s girlfriend. Gavin’s going to take her back. Judy’s going to graduate and maybe leave (hopefully she’s smart enough to continue to avoid Levi) But considering the direction of the story, she’ll leave and accept Levi’s offer with the Elite gammas to get back at Gavin but it’s going to be a setup. Ethan is still out there so he is going popped back up to stir up more trouble for Judy. Sammy’s going to somehow aid her escape. Meanwhile, once Gavin realizes Judy is gone, he going to miss what they had bcus he’s going to find out the truth about Levi and Rachel. At this point, it’s turning into a sh*tshow....
At this point, let Judy be!!!! How much is she expected to endure before she catches a break? Ugly cry, cut ties, and move on… Here Gavin is Alpha commanding Lukas (I think that’s his name name) no contact with Judy but she’s supposed to roll with the punches when it comes to his ish. He’s entirely too old to lack communication skills....
After everything that seems to happen with Judy, things were starting to look up and then, LOL NOPE. I enjoy a good “will they, won’t they,” every now and again, but the fact Gavin just ups and leaves/ghosts Judy has just about killed it for me. Judy just needs to ugly cry and move on at this point, rather than seeking any sort of explanation from a guy who isn’t decent enough to give her the courtesy of an explanation, even if it’s “hey, my ex is alive. Gonna go figure that out and will be MIA for an undetermined amount of time.” Ugh. This might just be near the end for me. We’ll see....
I definitely need more chapters a day… I’m stressing over here😂...
Poor Judy… She can’t catch a break! Gavin ain’t worth two wooden nickels.....
